Arnold Bus Drivers
Indorse WLB Plan
To Arbitrate Dispute
Union Counsel Denies
Conflict on Methods
To Reach Agreement

Arbitration methods are not an
issue IN the contract dispute with
the Arnold-operated bus lines-so
far as the drivers are concerned
Eli Oliver, union counsel, stated to-
day at the opening of a War Labor
Board panel hearing on the con-
troversy.
Mr.. Oliver, speaking for Local 1919
of the AFL Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees of America,
said an arbitration clause, which
provides private arbitration to iron
out difficulties between the union
and the company, was threshed out
at hearing in July before a War
Labor Board panel. He said the
union would stand on the record
of that hearing. Previously, union
officials had said arbitration meth
ods were one of the primary issues.
Opening the hearing, DR.. Paul
Douglas, president of American Uni
versity and chairman of a fact
finding panel appointed by WLB,
said evidence would be confined to
determining the terms of the arbi-
tratlon clause, problems of wages,
overtime for shop and extra en-
ployes and contract notifications
necessary to meet wartime Govern
ment requirements.
Seek Speedy Settlement.
I'VE are anxious not to prolong
this hearing" DR.. Douglass said, lin
the interest of arriving at terms
which will assure adequate trans
portation and will be fair both to
labor and management"
Fred j. Rice, counsel for the Ar
mold lines, in his opening statement
to the panel said he hoped there
could be permanent settlement
made at this time which would last
at least year. He added that fur
ther delays might result in repe-
tition of walkout Friday that cut
off bus service on the Arnold lines
for more than "a hours.
The dispute centers around a de-
mand by the union for Accent
per hour wage boost. Present rates
are II cents an hour for the first
year Of employment and 81 cents
thereafter.
Arnold officials hold that the IA
cent boost would be in violation of
the Little Steel formula, since op-
orators have been given wage in
creases of 81 per cent since jan
uary l, l94l. The union insists that
1t wants parity with drivers on
other lines in the Washington area.
Cites Pay Scales.
o. B. Hiner, president of Local
1919. said that drivers for the Alex
Bancroft and Washington
lines are getting 80 cents an hour
and are getting scent boost, while
Capital Transit operators are re-
ceiving 95 cents per hour and are
getting scent increase which
brings them to 81 an hour.
Mr.. Hiner said that even with
the l4-cent increase Arnold drivers
will be getting less than operators
on either of the other lines.
The union, which insisted it was
not on strike. but was in a con-
tinuous meeting voted to return to
work SATURDAY. morning for a 10
day truce period following a tele-
gram from WLB ordering the men
to return to their jobs before
of the wage dispute could
be made.
Mr.. Hiner said the union will not
violate the truce. but added that
we will stick to our guns and
those guns are loaded"

Exhibit Open to dec. !.
The exhibit. which will be oper

developments made in conserving
materials and manpower BY Sinlpli-
tication substitution and mechani-
cal ingenuity. The Army. Navy
Maritime Commission and WPB. and
the Conservation Committee of the
Canadian Department of Munitions
and Supply have contributed to the
display.
Many of the substitutions brought
on by war have proved superior to
the materials they replaced and will
be continued and developed in the
postwar period One of these. in
the antiaircraft gun. is the substi-
tuition of die castings and stampings
for machined parts
Die casting eliminates the need
for cutting out parts by machine
and thereby saves material and
manpower Small parts made of
metals which melt at temperatures
too high for de casting and whose
shapes are too intricate for produc-
ton by powder metallurgy are being
produced by precision casting.
Minimum of Waste.
Precision casting has been used
for long time in the manufacture
Iof jewelry. surgical instruments and
dental forms. Now. spurred on by
war needs. the process is being ex-
tended into the industrial field.
The development of precision
casting promises to be of invaluable
aid in fabricating parts from critical
materials where waste must be
minimized. from expensive, high
melting alloys ard from materials
hard to machine or forge. 1t in
wolves the use of wax model about

The desired metal is cast after the
wax is melted out.
| Among the other outstanding
changes evolved by war are the low
ering of the alloy content in the
gun barrel and breech, and welded
assemblies to replace forgings.

The Average Governor"
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
Even in these days of submerged state rights
the Governors of the hold office of great
lresponsibity--one basic in the American system of
government. More frequently than not, in the past
I'VE have drawn national leaders from the ranks
Iof men experienced in statecraft. Many Governors
are commonplace citizens; some good officials
some are not few are outstanding in the national
forum
What is the average Governor like? An an
swer to this question sought in recent survey.
and it did yield some average statistics concerning
the men who are charged with the responsibility of
running Americas state governments. The average
Governor" for instance found to be in his early
fiftes, family man, serving his first term in the
office, and earning salary of approximately $4,000.
He has had previous experience in some branch of
state government administrative legislative judi
cial He served in World War I in some capacity,
either in the armed forces in war-related job.
And at present, he is actively engaged in directing
phase of the war program
Beyond this sketchy outline, the survey found
difficulty in tipping" the Governors. Actually they
range in age from 80 to IS; run low in salary as
$4,000 and high 000 Professionally, the
Governors are mostly attorneys. Twenty-six of the
48 practiced law, six newspapermen, two oil
men. The others include a physician, a dentist, a
professor rancher and citrus fruit grower Po-
ltically the ranks evenly divided; "a Democrats
and "a Republicans
In other words the Governors of the 48 states
are representative Americans, varying in their at
tributes and dimensions much the nations
citizenry varies. That is not weakness. 1t is one
of the elements of strength in the historic pattern
of American government.

he gave Mussolini the power of life and death over
