John W. Yandereook made a
statement recent!\ Inal in all the
strikes ;i n d labor trouble
throughout the country these
days, newspapers and commen

reasons or side ol the ditiicuity.
That is deiinileiy true in the

were all colored in i'uvor of man
agement. giving a black eye to
Seward longshoremen and mak
ing them sound like the pro
verbial and radical ‘'heels’- so
despised by Americans.
The whole thing carne up be

That Seward longshoremen
are absolutely in the right when
they refuse to work on proced

conceded by every thinking in

was signed in good faith by bo to
union and management ofiiciais.
ii management nas now vioiatett
that contract, our men have
every right as American citizens
to protest in the only manner
open to them. A violation on
their part would have brought
swift reprisal from the other
parties to the contract.
The reports of radicalism in
local union leadership are en
tirely unfounded, we believe.
These men are thinking in a
straight pattern and endeavoring

Many townspeople wish to
stand aside, saying, “this is none
of our business." They are mis
taken. When a S2(rt),0()0 payroll
is affected, it is vitally import
ant to every businessman and
taxpayer in the area.
We Americans have always
been ready to take sides with
the und r dog. It seems that we
are blinded by timidity in our
own cast' and cannot see which
is the und r dog. TH is thing has
to come to a head sometime.
Let’s gel it over with. It is time
to take sides!

"So long as •one country has

Ksfaf.. “Oil Progress? Should
that mean something to me?”
The oil companies of America are now observing
Oil Progress Week. Some people outside the industry
have asked, “Oil Progress? Should that mean some
thing to meV'
The answer is “Yes, indeed!"—for oil progress
directly affects the lives of all Americans, and the
rest of the civilized world as well. One indication
of the strides the industry has made is a count of
its products. Fifty years ago, we were getting only
about a dozen different products out of crude oil.
Now Standard produces more than 1100. What we
ourselves produce, plus what’s made with the help
of products we provide, adds up to a seemingly
endless list of things that make your life better.

panies, large and small. All are needed — to serve
you better, and keep the nation strong. As the
industry progresses, the gain is yours... for your
progress and oil progress go hand in hand.
