Quicker, simpler maintenance is an-
other big advantage offered by the new
L.C.F. Everything’s easier to reach in
the roomy engine compartment.
In an L.C.F. you still get the easy
maneuverability of a C.O.E. plus-
new frames, new suspension, a whole
truck-load of modern features!
save the driver! Also, the low L.C.F.
is handsomer by far than any C.O.E.
ever built!

Aldrin works fast; hours after ap-

This, it would seem, is evi-
dence that natural gas is not
being bought on the basis of
value.
This points up the need
and justification for the en-
action of the Natural Gas

tin.
People outside Texas should
be required to pay for the

ment, the federal judiciary and

GOOD EMPLOYEE
RELATIONS
In 1900, 35 people pooled
their savings and founded a
little steel manufacturing
company in Ohio. Their capi-
tal totalled $350,000. They
employed 350 people. The lit-
tle company had severe dif-
ficulties. For instance, the
great U. S. Steel Corporation,
combining many companies,
was formed the same year.
-Competition was tough. But
the little company year after
year overcame all obstacles.
Today it has 55,000 stock-
holders, 30,0001 employees,
and assets worth a half bil-
lion. It is the Armco Steel
Corporation, sixth largest in
the nation.
This is a typical American
success story. But there is a
standout element in the Arm-
co story. It has one of the
best management-labor rela-
ttions records in American in-
dustry. In all the plants of
the parent company, except
one, there has never been the
loss of a single pound of steel
production because of a work
stoppage or a strike—in 55
years!
Principles Outlined
It was for the purpose of
finding the “How” in Arm-
cm’s remarkable management-
lbor record that William
Verity, an executive of the
corporation, was invited to
participate in a ponel discus-
sion on employer-employee re-
lations at the 16th Freedom
Forum conducted by The Na-
tional Education Program on
the Harding College campus.
On the panel with him were
representatives of organized
labor and another industry
spokesman. William Verity
outlined four “human rela-
tions principles” on which
Armco’s employee relations
programs is based. They are:
1. The first responsibility
of management is to create
understanding. Charles Hook,
chairman of Armco’s board,
many years ago stated it
thus: “To succeed there must
be cooperation. To obtain co-
operation, you must have un-
derstanding. And to have un-
derstanding. you must take
the mystery out of business;
you must keep your organi-
zation informed, you must
■create confidence among the
employees in the company’s
leaders.” Armco feels that it
is largely the company’s re-
sponsibility to create mutual
trust and respect between

Gas Tax Too High!
By J. Walter Hammond
President Texas
Farm Bureau
Texas Legislators are burn-
ing midnight oil in an effort
to find taxable items that
can be taxed wihout arousing
too much opposition from the
dear public that might show
up in future elections.
Texas is endowed with a
more bountiful supply of
natural resources than any
other state in the Union. We
are permitting corporations
outside the state to come in
and mine minerals that are
transported for use outside
the state, making only a tok-
en payment to the state for
the privilege.
Only about one fourth of
the natural gas produced in
Texas is used within the
state. The rates being paid
producers and royalty own-
ers are so ridiculously low
that a tax of three or four
cents per thousand cubic feet
could be collected and gas
would still be the cheapest
fuel that could be used, even
after adding the tax to the
price paid by the consumer
now.
Pipeline companies are not
buying the gas on the basis
of value as is evidenced by
excerpts from an Associated
Press dispatch of April 7,
1955:
"Washington-April 7 (AP)
—George Mitchell, represent-
ing Christie, Mitchell &
Mitchell, Houston, Testified
during a hearing on an ap-
plication by the Natural Gas
Chicago, it wants to build a
Pipeline Company of America,

employees and management.
Christian Leadership
2. Offer true leadership to
your employees. “The Bible is
read by many millions of peo-
ple but the proof of the pud-
ding is not in the reading but
in the extent to which the
lessons are absorbed,” said
Verity. “It isn’t what is
preached from the Bible, it is
what is practiced from the
teachings of the Bible. This
applies in management atti-
tudes and actions. It is not
what we say we are, but what
we are and what we stand
for. If management is to be
accepted by their employees
then management must as-
sume sound relationships in
all things that affect the
good of the company and the
community.”
3. Create a sense of belong-
ing. “Businessmen and indus-
trialists are too often accus-
ed of being more interested
in buildings or profits than
in people,” said Verity. “Is
this a fact? I hardly think so.
Buildings and equipment have
no economic value except as
human beings give them val-
ue through effective use. So
our first interest is in people.
Our employees will respond
if we let them know that
they are important, that we
need them, and that their
needs and interests are con-
sidered in every management
action.”
Living the Policies
4. Establish written polices
for your company. Why is
your company in business?
What is its primary purpose ?
What are the responsibilities
of your company to your em-
ployees, to your share-hold-
ers, to your suppliers.
“Armco’s written policies,”
said Verity, "sart with the
frank statement that Armco
was organized to earn a prof-
it through the manufacture
of quality iron and steel pro-
ducts. They insist upon a
square deal always, to every-
one—to do right for right’s
sake and not as an expedient
to secure desired results.
They provide for not only
fair remuneration but the
best compensation possible.
They provide for every prac-
tical and possible sound in-
centive to best effort— be-
cause ’this the mainspring of
all human accomplishments.
The policies provide every
possible opportunity, for ad-
vancement, and for the crea-
tion of good working condi-
tion in the plant and good
living conditions in the com-
munity. When all is said, it
is the spirit and the sincerity
with which we live our poli-
cies from day to day and year
to year that counts.”
