WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
tr- CONGRESSMAN
This is the second session of the
79th Congress. All the 435 Mem-
bers of the House are elected every
two years, and this year is election
year. One third of the 96 United
States Senators are elected every
two years.
Although many Members would
like to get through this session of
Congress as quickly as possible in
order that they might have time to
devote to their campaigns, a short
session is not likely. There are too
many big problems that Congress
must deal with.
The Number One problem in A-
merica is combating inflation. The
people have more money in their
pockets and in their bank accounts
than ever before. Actually, it is
more than 150 million dollars, or
much more than one thousand dol-
lars per capita. With decreased
production, caused by strikes, and
for other reasons, it will be in-
creasingly difficult for price lines
to be held. If the people are allow-
ed to bid against one another for
scarce commodities, there is no
way of telling how high the prices
will go.
After World War I, the cost of
I building construction went up ra-
| pidly, until it pot bo high that peo
| pie quit building homes. After
this war, the prices will have to

PRODUCTION LINES!
... so don't blame your Implement Dealer!
Your implement dealer had planned
and expected to have his display
floor filled with new implements and tractors
weeks ago. And we had planned to make
them—had told our dealers and our farmer
customers they would have new equipment
and plenty of service parts for the 1946 spring
work. And we had hoped to sell these ma-
chines at no advance in price.
Real Production Had Started
When the war ended, our organization bent
every effort to increase production, with the
result that in the last months of 1945 ma-
chinery was being built in very substantial
quantities. Here are a few figures:
PRODUCTION
ITEM NOV. 194 J DIC. 1945
Tractor* 7,171 7,432
Combine* 2,345 2,526
Cultivator* • 3,482 3,308

♦Plow* 6,185* 6,702*
•Plowi ar« made in our Canton and Chattonoogo Worlrt,
which or* not on ttrlka. January production wa* 7J47 plowt.
Both your dealer and we were encouraged by
thin production picture at the turn of the
year. But the strike changed all that. As you
know, the CIO United Farm Equipment &
Metal Workers of America called a strike in
ten of our plants, on January 21, 1946.
What Is The Strike About?
Wages are a basic issue. At the time of the
strike, Harvester employee were among the
highest paid workers in American industry.
When the strike began, the average hourly
earnings in the ten plants, not including
overtime, were $1.15^. If present wage pro-
posals are adopted, this figure will become
$1.33H per hour.
When the strike began, negotiations were
broken off by the Union on the issue of com-
pulsory union membership. The Company
has no desire to weaken the Union. It recog-
nizes certain reasonable needs of the Union.
But the Company does oppose compulsory
unionism. It feels strongly that an em-
ploye's membership should be a matter of
his own choice.
Material Co«t> and Price Relief
Wages and materials are the great costs of
operating our business—together they con-
sume all but a few cents of every dollar the
Company takes in. Wages are obviously
going to be high—and nobody knows just
how high material costs will go.
In the face of rising costs of materials, the
Company does not see how it can pay the
wage increases recommended by a Govern-
ment fact finding board until it has definite
and satisfactory assurance from the Govern-
ment that reasonable price relief will be
granted to the Company within a reasonable
period of time. This matter is of such im-
portance that it will not be discussed here,
but will be covered by future advertisements
devoted to both prices and profits.
Speaking for our dealers and ourselves, we
can assure yoa that no customer is more
eager than we are to resume production. We
are doing and shall continue to do everything
in our power to bring about a fair settlement
as soon as possible.
The year 1946 still looms as the
most prosperous year in peace-
time history.
RETURN OF TROOPS
A number of letters are being
received from mothers and fathers
who insist that all of our troops
from all foreign lands be with-
drawn at once. At first blush, this
sounds all right; but after all, if
we were to withdraw our troops
from Japan and permit Russia to
occupy Japan, or from Germany
and let the Germans have self-rule
or let some other nation occupy
Germany, it is considered such
moves would be calculated to jeo-
pardize our recent victories.
The war is not over until our
foes are completely conquered. An
other war could start very quickly
unless we properly police our form
er enemies in World War II. Until
such time that other arrangements , , , . ...
can be made, it will be necessary J?ve i?®", s ?7m5 with Mr- and
