She was reading the front page of a newspaper which headlined one conference after another about , strikes. "I don't know,*' I said, **I sup pose they discuss labor’s demands and try to see jf they can come to some agreement.** "But," she, complained, "these headlir always say just about the same thing. They either say that no agreement was reached or that another conference is beinv planned. In some of the strikes people have been meeting fer months and nothing seems to hap pen. I can’t see what they talk abont all the time." My reaction — a sort of defense of the male—was to try to point out that men of importance don't sit around together by the hour without discussing subjects of weighty concern. Women might, yes. But not busy business execu tives. But as I tried to build my case, I too began wondering what op earth did keep the conversation rolling at these long-winded confer ences. CONFERENCE . . . delay After struggling w}th this myste rious problem for some time, I finally came to the conclusion that one of those many conferences be tween Mr. Anderson of General Mo tors and Mr. Thomas of the United Automobile Workers must ’have gone something like this- Mr. Thomas: Well, are you goinj to give us 30 per cent? Mr. Anderson: No. Thomas: What’s your best offer today? Anderson: 13 per cent And that’s final. Thomas: You know we won't ac cept that. Anderson: You know we won t go any higher. (Thomas lights a cigar 30 per cent longer than the average cUar. Anderson lights a short pipe They sit at the conference table glaring at each other. After an hour of silence. Mr. Thomas clears his throat impatiently.) Thomas: Any change yet? Anderson: Nope. (Each gets out a newspaper and begins reading. After anothei Hour Mr. Anderson breaks the silence.) Anderson: Ready to take 13 per cent yet? Thomas: Nope. Still 30 per cent. Anderson: It’s getting late Shall we call off. the conference? Thomas: Okay. What will we tell the papers? Anderson: I’ve just written out * statement. Here. Thomas: (reading) "After con ferring until midnight, no agree ments were reached although the union representative indicated that he would be willing to consider a compromise proposaL" PUBLICITY . . . repetition Of course, if Mr. Anderson did hand Mr. Thomas a statement like that, the conference would continue in a more explosive vein. Like this, perhaps: i Thomas: Whatdoyuh me~ 1 am willing to compromise? Anderson: You made that ^ry clear two hours back when, alter I refused 30 per cent, you asked for my best offer. Thomas: Well, we’re not giving any statement like that to the pa pers. Anderson: Then what do you want to tell them? Thomas: I want to tell them that you are trying to stop progress, that you want to beat down the working man, that you won’t bare g8 5 r, with us, that . . . Anderson: What I want to say wouldn't be fit for print, but do you want to get together on s joint statement? Thomas: I Just want to give tfae public the facts. Anderson: You mean you want to confess that the union is trying to high-pressure us into increasing the cost of automobiles, that you will admit the fallacy of seeking higher wages when production is at a standstill, that . . . Thomas: Don't try to be funny. I guess we have to issue the same old statement. Have you got a fr^sh copy? .nderson: You mean the one Leaded "Conferees Fail to Agree" or ‘Conference to Be Continued”? Thomas: Haven’t we got an> oth ers'* My members are getting fed up with those. Anderson: (thumbing through papers* Let’s see .... well, here’s one we haven’t used for a month — "Conferees “'vplore Areas of Agfo^-Tjent.” Thomas: Okay, give them that one And next time let’s go home earlier I’ve been missiiig out on 30 per cent of my sleep. “Within the memory of living men, cotton was only a fiber crop.
