West Point Pepperell Offer Called Inadequate by Union
The Textile Workers Union of America says West Point Pepperell’s 1966 69 wage proposal is inadequate. They cite 3.1 percent and 3.5 percent raises in 1967 and 1968 that failed to keep pace with 6.6 percent price increases, leaving real wages eroded. The union seeks a 20 cent wage and fringe package in a one year contract, with negotiations continuing.

Biddeford Official Voices Tax Concession Concerns
Biddeford's new industrial development agent Samuel Michael told the Saco Business Men's Association during the annual Ladies Night Dinner that tax concessions to attract industry are frowned upon. He noted Lewiston’s lack of allowances for newcomers and urged concessions on skilled labor supply rather than new ventures. He cited secrecy in negotiations and warned of bankrupties from leaked moves. Thomas Moore was re elected president of the group.
