...against drivers' protests, to save money by paying drivers an extra 1¼ or 1½ a mile in lieu of more expensive fringe benefits. A confidential memorandum from an Ohio trucking executive reports a conversation with George Maxwell, head of the Steel Truckers Employers Association.

He had one company decreased from 74% to 70%, three companies...
After his off-the-record chat with State Representative Steve Dolley one day last week, Reporter Paul Crooke of North Carolina's daily Gastonia Gazette (circ. 20,491) tossed a memo on the crowded desk of Managing Editor Bob Hallman.
