Traffic Deaths Cut
ShdrplY This Year
Drop Of 491o Greatest
In History. Safety
Council Reports

Chicago ULNS). - The nations
traffic toll was cut in half in October
from a year ago, the National Safety
Council reports.
The drop of 40 per cent was the
greatest in the nations history, the
council says, and the 1000 traffic
deaths for the month represent Il say
ing of 1920 lives compared with Oc-
tober, 1941.
The first 10 months of the year
brought Il reduction of u per cent in
the traffic toll from the same period
last year - 23,290 fatalities against
3l,S2O last year, or Il saving of $3.50
lives.
Travel figures for October are not
yet available, but the record-breaking
decrease in the October fatality total
indicates, the council says. an in
creased voluntary curtailment in
travel. Travel was off % per cent in
September from Il year ago and ID
per cent for the first 8 months of the
year.

Roll Unions Attack
Federal Rate Move
Chicago Meeting On PuY
Demands Will Press For
Increases

Chicago. Representatives of the Big
Five" railway brotherhoods, meeting
in Chicago, contended that the govern
ment's request Saturday for cancel
latiOn of rate increases granted early
this year was roundabout way Of
sidetracking their demands for higher
wages.
Their official attitude will be enun-
ciated as they progress toward speci-
fic requests for adjustment of their
complicated wage scales, for 100000
members, but many of the $50 rail
brotherhood representatives said pri-
vately that the governments action
made their position less secure.
David B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, said that employees
were entitled to higher pay regardless
of what decision the /. G. c. might
make because present wage scales in
our industry are still below those
which have been established as a ma
tional policy by the War Labor
Board"

New PdY Increase
Is Barred By WLB
Rules Escdldtor Clause Puts
PYrites Rate Too High
Above l94l Level
CLAIM CALLED IMPROPER
Members Agree On Denial
Of Rise Held Incompatible
With Sterilization Plan

Washington.-The War Labor Board
set aside for the first time provisions
ef collective bargaining agreement
providing an escalatOr clause relating
wage changes to the cost of living.
This action was taken by the unani-
nous votes of the public, labor and in
dustry members because the employees
in question already had received wage
increases totaling 10 per cent above
the pay in effect on Jan. 1, 1941, and a
further increase would have been in
consistent with the boards stabiliZa-
ton policy.
The board took this position disap-
proving the escalator clauses in the
contract between the Pyrites Com
pany, Wilmington, Del, and the Mine,
Mill and Sfelter Workers, C.LO., be-
cause it would have resulted in gen
eral wage increase which would have
brought the straight-time rates of the
company's 1856 employees above Is per
cent over the level of Jan. l, 1941.
"The employees of the Pyrites Com
pany," said DR.. George w. Taylor,
vice chairman of the board, in writing
the boards opinion on the case, "have
received general increases of 10 per
cent over their straight-time hourly
earnings of January, 1941. Under the
wage stabilization program they have
no proper claim, therefore, for further
increases in wage rates as cost of
living adjustment
Nor can the escalatOr clause of the
agreement between these parties serve
to provide an additional cOst-of-living
adjustment in wages which is incom-
patible with the national stabilization
program"
DR.. Taylor made it clear that the
boards decision in this case did not
preclude the operation of escalator
clauses. He explained that "Sucn
clauses will be given effect to the eX-
tent that they provide straighttime
rates not more than - per cent above
the Jan. l, 1941, rates."

Protection Held Inadequate
Under the House provision, an EN-
ployee of company involved in ii
merger must be retained with the
merged company, ut no loss OF pay,
for as many years. as he had been
employed regularly before the merger,
but not more than 4 years. Employees
discharged within / years after the
effective date Of Il merger would have
preference in filling vacancies.
In an appeal to members to send
immediate protests TO their Repre-
sentatives in Congress against the
House bill, the union said:
"As in the case of the Senate bill,
the House bill does not protect the
employees against discriminative
transfers; no severance pay is pro
vided for the thousands of employees
who would be discharged after the l.
year period as Il result of the expected
drastic mechanization Of the industry
following the war; there is no guar
antee that any employee would be re
tained on the same job; and the bill
would not apply to'any employee earn
Ing more than $4,000 per annum, which
would leave unprotected substantial
number of employees who are now
covered by C.TU. contracts (th'
Senate bill covers all employees earn
ing up to $4,000.
Vigorous Protests Asked
"The proposed telegraph mergel
legislation as passed by the Senate
and as proposed by the House, falls
so far short of what we consider to Dc
adequate protection for the employees
that we regard it as being wholly I'M
acceptable, and strongly urge that al
employees throughout the country i'm

gressmen and vigorously protest tn,
passage of the proposed legislation un
