PORTER, district director of the union, said the pro posal was under consideration of the union's ''rank and file" and that officials would meet with company representatives in Canton next Tuesday to discuss the offer. Porter estimated the company employed more than 15,000 persons in its plants here and at Canton, Gambrinus, Wooster, Mount Vern on and Zanesville. He said the over-all average wage was S1.30 an hour. The company estimated a 10 per cent nay boost would increase its annual payroll approximately 54,300,000. Umstattd's statement said in part: "Some time ago the company quoted firm prices to its customers to hold until July 1, 1947.

"In making the offer to increase wages and extend the present contract until July 1, the company is taking a calculated risk because of the unstable prices of scrap and other materials and the $20,000,000 portal-to-portal suit instituted against it by the United Steelworkers of America (CIO). "DESPITE the public statements of Philip Murray and other CIO spokesmen that earnings have increased enormously, the earnings of the Timken Roller Bearing company in 1946 were $5,502,518, or 2Vi per cent above those of 1945. "Over the past several months incoming orders have failed to equal shipments and if this trend is not reversed some curtailment in operations will be necessary. "A 10 per cent increase in the payroll, including employes not covered under the union contract, will equal approximately $4,300,000 annually at the current rate of operations and will result in hourly increases ranging to over 20 cents for some piecework and tonnage employes. "It is very necesasry to keep prices at low levels to meet competition and expand into markets.

"Under present conditions of increased wage arid material costs, only greater efficiency of men and mechanics can insure success in maintaining reasonable prices." Red Cross Board Meets At a regular quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the Massillon Red Cross chapter, Thursday evening, Mrs. Ben W. Schrader and Mrs. C. D.

Wolf was Patton's liaison officer from the start of the Italian and Normandy campaigns until the end of the war. Wolf said that Patton's drive through the Siegfried line was halted in order that his supplies could be diverted to build up the English army. This was explained by Wolf as one of the many political maneuvers which considerably delayed the end Of the European conflict.

Furthermore the firemen gave their contract committee a vote of confidence in negotiations with the village council over fire protection for the village. The council Tuesday had asked the committee to turn over certain equipment to the village for fire protection. Members of the committee offered to sell to the village a pump connection purchased by firemen for use on a village-owned obsolete truck, and proposed that the village complete its plans to purchase new fire truck which volunteer firemen would man and respond to calls within the village, according to Chief Clifford Johnston.

ALTZLY'S Criticizes Sanitation A report by the Federal Coal Wines administration said today public health and sanitation are standard in more than half of the soft-coal mining communities it has covered in a survey. Conditions in some places, it said, "are a disgrace to the Indus try and to the nation." THE REPORT laid the blame on management, labor and the fam ilies themselves." The 340-page findings came from five navy survey teams which visited 260 mines in 22 coal-producing states during four months last year in accordance with an agreement between the government and United Mine Workers. The research men said they found health conditions ranging from excellent to "very poor." In a foreword to the findings, Rear Adm. Joel T. Boone, director of the survey, said it disputes "any assertions which may have been made that inferior standards are general in the coal industry." "Definitely low of liealth are readily apparent in certa'iti places, but not in all areas where coal is mined," the navy, of- "icer said.

There are niore than 2,500 soft coal mines in the country. Th'e report recommended adoption of a broad system of prepaid medical care for all miners and dependents and "modifications in principles and operation," saying "appropriate checks must included to prevent abuses by over-indulgent physicans and unnecessary and excessive demands patients." Extinguisher Advice Given Buy the right type of fire ex- inguisher. That advice was given today by J'ire Chief Raymond Earle to all Dersons in this city who purchase fire extinguishers for use in case fire in their homes, places of business or industrial plants. Too often, he pointed out, persons, buy fire extinguishers entirely unsuited for fighting fires of the types they are most likely to experience. An extinguisher which suited for fighting an oil fire, 'or instance, he stated, might be unsuited for a fire in a pile of paperf In some instances, he said, the ivrong type of extinguisher might actually do more harm than good and might bring injury to the person using it.

Firemen, he stated, often while making inspections of business places recommend fire extinguishers and later discover that the wrong type of extinguisher -has )een secured. Chief Earle offered his services persons considering the purchase of extinguishers in helping assure that they secure the right Mayors Guests Of Stark Dry Cleaners One hundred twenty dry cleaners rom Stark county attended the Stark County Dry Cleaners Guild' dinner meeting Wednesday even-; 'ng at Sue Ming's restaurant, Canion.

Ouster Of Two Asked COLUMBUS. spokesman for Ohio Democrats called on Gov.

Thomas J. Herbert today to remove Agriculture Director Frank J. Farnsworth and his special assistant, Edwin J. Bath, because of "hostility toward the Ohio Farm Bureau federation." CLARENCE H. KNISLEY, direc tor of Democratic state headquar- said in a letter to Herbert that Rep.

Elton Kile (R-Mad- A ison), an official of the Tax Equality league, was "using (state) department of agriculture to further his opposition to the bureau."

"For the best interests of the state as a whole, it is incumbent upon you as governor to remove officials." he concluded.
