Since $1 per cent population is dependent upon rubber industry, the sudden laying off of thousands sowed a erop of wild rumors. ‘Two rumors were that the tire mills are preparing to bir the men back greatly reduced wages and that tire prices will be affected. W. O, Rutherford, vice-president of the B, F. Goodrich company, one of the “Big Five,” gave me the rubber men's version of the conditions which led to the discharge of 35,000 of the 85,000 workers in the industry here. At the outset he told me that there would be no change in tre prices of the Akron within the next few months and that) no drop in wages could be expected “until general economic conditions in the United States are ifa prewar status, “Under government control dur- ing the war,” Rutherford told me, “commercial tire production was #0 greatly restricted that when the ar-| mintice was signed dealers’ everywhere were depleted. “Then all rubber manufacturers stocks entefed an era of enormous produc-| tion, We ran our plants 24 hours a day.
