To the Editor of The Republican:
The time has come for us rubber workers to get together and let our bargaining negotiators in Cincinnati know that the strike is going on too long with no settlement in sight.
The money we workers lost will never be regained regardless of what the settlement will be. The longer the strike continues, the more we will lose. They talk about a fair and just settlement.
I don’t think it is fair and just for us workers who have to use our life’s savings after working so hard for it, and then go broke and in debt. Whoever is interested in getting back to work please send in a postcard to our Uniroyal

negotiators in Cincinnati and ask them to get going for a quick settlement.
Give them seven days or we will take a vote to go back to work while they are negotiating, until a settlement is reached.
This way we will be earning wages and receive retroactive pay when the strike is over. This is plain common sense. Do it now. Enough time and money have been lost.
In my opinion the company is offering a fair and just settlement. I believe we should go back to work so that we could make sample footwear for the salesman to show to the buyers. This is to our own advantage and insures our jobs for the future.
I appeal to and urge every member to send in a postcard as soon as possible to Uniroyal negotiators in Cincinnati and let them know that we want to vote to go back to work and vote to accept the company offer.
