Conrad Cooper, Coop-er, executive vice president-personnel president-personnel service, United States Steel, stated today. Speaking before the Canadian Manufacturers Association, Mr. Cooper pointed out that this "is a job that must be done, and done correctly, lest the wheels of competitive misfortune spin us beyond the point of no return. re-turn. It is a question that must be answered to provide real Job security for the steelworkers." Stressing that point further, Mr. Cooper stated that "clearly this is not a job that can be done amidst conflict and sterile argument about management's rights. The need is for recognition recogni-tion and discharge of obligations. obliga-tions. Being obligated to the employees and the stockholders , to manage the business efficiently, effic-iently, management cannot pass that obligation on to the union leaders or anyone else. Faulty contract language which stands in the way of management's ability to discharge its obligation obliga-tion Is not In the Interest of the employees or anyone else. We - live In the hope. that, our union friends will come to recognize this basic truth." Discussing the possible effects of the recent steel settlement on Industry's competitive position, Mr. Cooper observed that "what measurable effects the. agreement agree-ment will have upon our compe to date. With Grant Harris leading the way as ' general chairman, all ..committees have been set up and are working to bring ,the Steel Day celebration to a successful conclusion. The date will be Sept.' 5, Labor La-bor Day. A new Falcon has been purchased and will be on' display dis-play this week. Some lucky person per-son will 'be proud to ownthis beautiful car. ,' .

Team Standings:. TEAM W L Yanks 5 2 Sox 4 3 Tigers 4 3 Indians ' 16 titive position, of course, only time will tell. Disputing the contention of many critics that the agreement was a "complete loss for the companies," Mr, Cooper stated that "the companies sought to settle for wage and benefit increases in-creases In the area of slightly more than 2.5 per cent per year. We settled for increases in the area of 3-y2 to 3- per cent, as compared to prior settlements from 1940, which produced employment em-ployment cost increases of about 8 per cent per year compounded annually. Thus we missed our objective by about 13 but we bettered the prior experience by more than 50 per cent. "The companies endeavored to terminate the "unsound cost-of-living escalator clause, which produced a 17-cent-per-hour increase in-crease in the three-year period of the 1956 agreement. The new agreement retains the principle in form, but limits the possible increase to 6 cents minus whatever what-ever Increase occurs In the cost of Insurance above a specified level. . "Progress," Mr. Cooper pointed point-ed out, "comes only from change. What is most needed in the steel Industry Is for every person per-son employed therein to be constantly con-stantly searching for ways and means to improve the productive efficiency of the business, to increase in-crease the quantity and quality Of product, to eliminate waste and reduce cost, thus to generate new economic progress that can be shared by the employees, the stockholders, the customers and; the public."'
