STOPPAGE (Continued from page 1) Sunday night meeting of about 800 employees who voted to strike after negotiations between management and union commit tee had broken down. Several hundred workers had gathered outside the plant's four gates Monday morning by the starting time. Spectators esti mated that not more than 60 wor kers were in the plant at the time the shift was scheduled to begin work. Pickets, walking ^ outside the plant, carried signs with slogans including “We want action, not promises," “We want better work ing conditions," and “We want to be treated like human beings, not like animals. A Loomfixer, Joe Johnson, after being in the plant about 20 min- , utes, returned to the area outside the gate and reported that “my job wasn’t running." No estimate was available of the number of workers actually involved in the work stoppage which management has describ ed as a “wildcat strike." The walkout of the spinners Thursday night was the second such occurrence within a week. A number of battery tenders walked out last Tuesday night but returned to their jobs on Wednesday after “a clarification of job assignments was made." Monday Managembnt’s position — was that “when the people are back at work, any and all pro blems would be disposed of in the normal manner stipulated in the contract,” according to a state ment issued to The Greenville News. Mr. Gatlin’s complete state ment follows : “On Thursday night, June 9, in a wildcat demonstration, some of the third shift spinners at New berry Mills refused to report to their jobs. Management had no knowledge of any such pending action on the part of the employes since no formal grievances had been filed and pursued under the grievance procedure of the pre- ent union contract. “This is the second such oc currence within the week, follow ing closely on the heels of a wild cat walkout staged by some of the battery tenders at Newberry Mills on the third shift Tuesday night. These battery tenders had al ready returned to their jobs, hav ing done so Wednesday after a meeting of management and the union committee in which a clar- if ication of job assignments was made but with the same work load as of the time the employes walked out. “In a letter to the president of Local 120, Newberry Mills management notified the, union of this violation, of the no-strike provision contained in the ex ist i n g labor-management con tract and requested that the un ion bring such work stoppage to an ^nd by taking whatever steps it deemed necessary, but specifically by causing its chief officers in the state to sign a notice to this effect as provid ed for within the framework of the contract. “Management also notified the union that in the even* employes remained away from their jobs beyond the next regularly sched uled shift on Monday, June 13, 1960, that these employes were in violation of attendance rules and by their actions were auto matically terminating their em ployment. This letter of notifica tion was posted at the entrances to the plant. Management R e presentatives, the union committee, and the in ternational representative of AFL CIO met in two separate sessions Sunday in order that management might learn the cause of the wild cat strike and so that manage ment might state its position. In these meetings a list of condi tions was presented to the com pany with the understanding that if met the committee would go before the striking workers and recommend their acceptance. “Prior to this work impairment, grievances had been handled under the grievances procedure as ctmtained in the labor-man agement contract. Therefore, L. E. Gatlin, general manager, sta ted that management had no alternative but to take the posi tion that when the people are back at work any and all prob lems would be disposed of in the normal manner stipulated in the contract. The same position was taken by the company in August 1969 at a time when a few loom- fixers staged a wildcat strike. At that time, the union and employes accepted the pledge of manage ment that when the employees had returned to work any problems would be solved through the grievance procedure. Manage- ment’s solemn pledge was made again that when employees have returned to work, if there are grievances these will be handled |/r it mania A MEAT relish that’s delicious with any meat, hot or cold, use half canned applesauce and half whipped cream.

I pledge myself to continue working for what I believe to be best for the county and all of its citizens. CARMAN B0UKNIGHT Summer Showers In South Carolina all are fam iliar with the typical weather forecast of “risk of scattered showers”. By the very nature of Summer precipitation in the form of scattered showers, the Weather Bureau cannot tell anyone whe ther or noi. Ids . ex^t'location will be 1 visited i>y one of these“stray- ing” showers on any given after noon. ’ ‘‘V 'j To help the public decide how much chance there is for v a shower on any summer afternoon, a thun dershower forecasting scheme has been compiled from research con ducted by Messrs Champion and Purvis of the Columbia Weather Bureau. The method will give per centage probability of thunder shower occurance on a scale from 0 to 100 per cent with 0 per cent representing “no shower activity expected” and 90-100 percent in dicating “a high degree of show er possibility.” The probability of thunderstorm occurances will be added to • the forecast issued by the Columbia Bureau during the summer period, June- 1st through August 31st. These statements are intended to give the user an idea of the lenges will be met and mastered, he declared, adding that “the beneficient government of the founding fathers will be preserved and civil and religious freedoms reign supreme.” Reports of key committees and officials covered the far-reaching Decisions about national elec-1 activities of the denomination tions should come out of each voter’s communion with God and the guidance obtained through prayer. The Christian Science Board of Directors said today. More than 7,000 Christian Sci entists at the annual meeting of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., heard the Direct ors’ message which called for an end to apathy, irresponsibility, and blind partisanship. “In the United States,” the Di rectors said, “the current year will record important political de cisions as well as international approaches.” They added that “through prayer, we can rise a- bove blind 'partisanship and the irresponsible tumult of aggres sive mental suggestion.” Named President of The Moth er Church for the coming year was Arthur W.

Public lectures on Christian Science were given the first time, it was announced, in many dis tant areas including Ghana and the Fiji Islands. Vigorous response to the inter national television and radio ser ies, “How Christian Science Heals” was reported by Will B. Davis, Manager of the Commit tees on Publication. More than 176,000 people have written to Boston for information about Christian Science since the pro gram started, he said. In addi tion, some 6,000 requests a month he noted h^ve come to Christian Science Reading Rooms from in terested listened. Many outstanding hea lings through entirely spiritual means were cited in the reports. They was educated at the University of Texas, the University of South ern California, and Harvard Law School. , The Directors held that people jof all lands will be delivered from chances of . having thunderstorms I tyranny through the freedom- with measurable rain. A typical . . . forecast would read “Scattered thunderstorms in the Columbia area this afternoon. There is a 30 per cent chance of experiencing measurable rain.” This would im mediately tell the user of the fore cast that there is a reasonably good chance of experiencing a thundershower. On the other hand, should the probability statement indicate a 90 percent chance, the user would know that on 9 out of 10 days he would experience measurable rain with this prob ability. Probability forecasting should be particularly useful to the central South Carolina area, in that during most summer af ternoons, there are some thunder showers reported within the area.’ The big decision the average per son faces is ‘‘how much of a chance is there that thunderstorms will materialize in the specific area?” It is hoped that this percentage probability method will help the general public in central South Carolina have a better answer to this question this summer. Any comments on the usefulness of this system would be appreciated. This scheme was developed af* ter considerable research was conducted on past weather record located 'at iHe Columbia Wadttu Bureau office and at the National Weather Records Center, Ashe ville, N.

A former Manager of Committees on Pub lication, he was appointed General Counsel of the Legal Department of the Mother Church in 1944, an office he still holds. He succeeds Mrs. Kathryn F.

The threats to be coped with, he said, “are not merely external forces under authoritarian dic tatorships that would seek to des troy our way of life.
