On the Ne10 York
Scenic Railway:

The long parade and the exciting
band music in the fierce rains and
winds north along Fifth Avenue -
with hardly anyone among the pc
destrians brave enough to pause and
watch. (What dope insisted upon
that parade, anyhow, in such pneu-
monia weather?) The knots of
nuts cluttering up Columbus Circle
- exercising their Constitutional
rights with double talk about the
next war. The blinking cleo
tricks on the Broadway signs en-
bellished by the penmanship of the
furiously falling rain. . The 59th
Street management's reply to freez-
ing tenants: mo heat until October
1st!" The Waldorf has it, however.

The cacophony of buses, taxis,

without fender dented - SYM

Gas Pay Farley Opens
With Hint Unions
MAY Ease Demands

A negotiations committee repre-

Washington Gas Light Co. went
into q meeting with the company
today prepared to soften its de-
mands for wage increases. The
unions plan to strike May 4 unless
a new contract is signed before
then.
Today's meeting at the company

Government Cancellation Service
has taken part. Conciliator Lucius
P. Rye was assigned to the job

American Federation of Labor nego-
tiator heading the negotiations COM
mittee for the unions, doubted set
tlement would be reached today.
No Industry Pattern.
One drawback is that no industry
pattern has been formulated for gas
utilities. For this reason, the unions
have consulted the Wage Stabiliza-
tion Board for an unofhcial opinion
Evening star., 1946-04-22

on how much increase the employees
could expect with approval Of the
board.
AS the negotiators went into their
meeting at 10:30 am, the issues
remained as sharply divided as they
were a month ago. The unions,
representing about 1900 employees,
are asking increases of 81 cents an
hour; the company has countered
with IA cents.
Mr.. Douglas said the unions last
week voted the Negotiations Com
mittee broader powers, permitting it
the discretion of settling when the
difference is five or six cents. The
union committee would come down
somewhat from its 31-cent demand
today, but he was not prepared to
specify the new amount, Mr.. Doug
las added.
Federal Seizure Possible.

ernment would watch the case with

increasing interest and the possibil-
ity of seizure should the strike
threat grow. The union points out
that even a 24-hour strike would
disrupt gas service here for as long
as 80 days. since resumption of
service would require individual at
tention at each home.
Assisting with negotiations for the
unions today we're Roy Funderburk,
