The ASA president also
said he is concerned that the
plan contains no provisions
to prevent stocks of skim
milk powder from building
up again in future years.
“It solves an immediate
problem but does nothing
about the underlying cause,” -
he said. “We feel the EEC
should abandon the present
plan in favor of one which
would discourage over
production of milk.
“If the EEC persists in its
present plan, ASA' would
have no alternative other
than to ask our government
to take countermeasures.”
Jackson is meeting in

Organization (FAO). He said
ASA expects to enlist the
support of other nations who
export protein to the EEC in
acting against the plan.

A spokesman for the
Pennsylvania Chamber of
Commerce warned recently
tbit a labor-sponsored bill
now before the General
Assembly would destroy
collective bargaining in the
state, and make the state’s
unions preeminent in
deciding the future course of
Pennsylvania’s economy.
Robert Hibbard, executive
director of, the statewide
business organization, said
the bill, H. 2144, was
ostensibly designed to
prevent use of> strike*

“But it broadens the
definition of 'strikebreaker’
to indude nonstriking em
ployes and management
personnel who are used to
perform the work of
strikers,” he said.

explained, “if there are

they are able to say, ‘lf we

“I can’t' believe that the
legislature will be so un
mindful of the rights of
citizens that it will enact
such a bill,” Hibbard said.
“We realize that the House
labor relations committee is
heavily oriented toward
organized labor, but we hope
that the General Assembly
will recognize the danger of
such legislation.”
, Government should
remain neutral in labor
management relations,
Hibbard said. “This bill puts
the state government on the
side of labor and will
discourage much needed job
producing investments,” he
said, adding that “no one in
his right mind would locate
or expand in Pennsylvania
with, this type of legislation
on the books. '
“If H. 2144 is enacted, the
only thing the legislature has
left to do for the unions is to
walk the picket line for
them,” Hibbard concluded.
