Rail Wage Case

Unless President Roosevelt inter-
venes, Economic Sterilization Di-
rector Fred M. Vinson effectively has
closed the door to a general wage
advance for the 100000 non-oper-
ating railroad employes-those in
other than train service. In the
formal ruling supplementing his
earlier announcement that the eight
cent hourly award proposed by an
emergency board had been set aside,
Mr.. Vinson left but single loophole,
suggesting the possibility Of an in
crease for employees receiving sub
standard wages. He did not define
"substandard," and the chances for
relief in this direction seem slim, in
view OF the board estimate that the
average earnings Of the seventy
three classes Of employees involved are
1873 cents hourly, while the prevail
ing minimum in the industry is 46-
hardly substandard, in the accepted
sense of the word.
Significantly, Mr.. vinson also ex-
cluded the possibility Of increasing
earnings by permitting overtime to

gift, as his friends at The Star know,

contended, lay in the difference be-

sincere conflicts of opinion. Some are
inspired in part. at least, by narrow
political considerations in the House and
Senate, but In the main the so-called
legislative ''revolts" are genuine mani
festations Of concern at the turn from
bad to worse which our domestic affairs
have been taking. Congress is close to
the people. Every two years all of the
members Of the House and a third OF
the Senators have to stand before their
constituents for reelection, and it is a
reasonably safe assumption that the un.
easiness and the discomfort that are 50
evident in Congress today reflect 4 SINH
lar uneasiness and discomfort throughout
the country.
Unfortunately, however. the recourse
OF the Congress, when 1t is in disagree.
ment with the President, is largely mega.
tive in its effect. 1t can prevent the
President from doing many things, bus
there Is little that 1t can compel him
to do. Thus, II the Judgment Of Congress
were infallible, which it certainly is not,
there would be little that 1t could do on
its own initiative to put our domestic
affairs In order.
In this situation, two things are inn
peratively needed. First, the President
must clean house in the executive estab.
lishment himself, or turn this task over
to some one who will not hesitate to see
it through. Second, the President and
Congress must find meeting ground on
which they can subordinate their differ.
ences and work together to pull the
country out of its headlong slide toward
total Generalization. Unless both Of
these needs are met, and met soon, the
people Of this country are going to suffer
some very painful consequences.

OIL"
With these words Petroleum Ad-
ministrator Harold Ickes forecast an
increasing shortage of crude oil.
Such a shortage, Ickes said, would
not develop because of lack of
natural resources but rather be-
cause of scarcity of labor, trans
portation and other factors.
While stating that imports of oil
would have to be increased from
Venezuela, the Caribbean and Mex
leo, he declared that California will
not be producing sufficient crude by
the end of the year to take care of
the Pacific war theater and her own
needs.
1ckes also blasted the Office of
Price Administration for its handling
of the gasoline rationing, declaring
the OPA was too lenient in its al
lotments. He said home owners
could expect fuel oil rationing next
winter.
