A Firestone spokesman said the company wouldn’t have any official comment on the NLRB complaint by the union. “We can see no legal basis for their claims,” he said. Spokesmen for the four other rubber companies also declined comment on the complaint. The issuance of this complaint and the meeting held Monday by Local 45 is the first real information and indication the striking rubber workers have received on how the negotiating sessions are progressing. The strike, now entering its 42nd day, has been a long, dragged out affair filled with rumors but without any definite releases as to the proceedings in Ohio. Both the companies and union had agreed that neither party would give out information as to the negotiations without the others consent. Striking Local 45 members gave their President George Froehlich a vote of confidence at the meeting held Monday; however, Froehlich gave the members no encouragement as far as a fast settlement was concerned. Picketing at all three local plants remain quiet as UniRoyal supervisory personnel carry on limited production at the Chemical and Synthetic plants and shipping is carried out at the Footwear warehouse. Mayor Joseph C. Raytkwich received a complaint from a Cotton Hollow resident this morning that a heavy smog covered the area. The complainant also said that the air was irritating to the nose and eyes. However, the source of the “smog” was not identified, and this seems to be the only area of the borough so effected.
