■yoUR implement dealer had planned
I and expected to have hi* 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 1046 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:

Both your dealer and we wore encouraged by
this 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.
Whet Ii The Strike About?
Wagee 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
plants, not including
If present wage pro-
posals are adopted, this figure will become
S1.33H per hotu', • --------------- --------
When the strike began, lyegatiationa 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
nizea certain reasonable needs of the Union.
But t he Company does oppose cvmpulmry
unionism. It feels strongly that an em-
ploye’s membership should be a matter of
his own choice.
Material Casts and Price Relief
Wages and materials are the great costa of
operating our business—together they con-
sume all but a few cents of every dollar thr
Company takm in. Wages are obviously
going to be high—and nobody knows just
how high material costa will go.
In the f^e of rising costa of materials, the
Company floes 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 6f 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 ahd profits.
Speaking for our dealers and ourselves, we
can assure you that no customer is more
eager than we are to resume production. We
are doing and shall continue to do everything
in ocr power to bring about a fair settlement
as soon as possible.
