FACING WALK0UT
Western Union Employees
Notify Government Oh
Strike Intention

WASHINGTON, Sept. % R -
The AFL notified the government
Monday that $4,000 Western Union
employees may strike over wage
demands in 80 days. The CLIO
A M r i can Communications as
ISOLATION reported its negotiations
with the company also had broken
down.
Any strike of the two groups
would affect the entire Western
Union system. The CLIO union
represents 1000 workers in the
New York metropolitan area. AFL
unions, principally the CONNER
cial Telegraphers union, represent
the workers elseWhere.~
]. A. Payne, of the National Co.
originating board set UP by the
ALL unions involved, said tele-
grams giving notice of intention to
strike in 80 da-s were sent to
President Truman, Secretary Of
Labor SchWellenbach and Chair
man Paul M. Herzog of the Ma
tional Labor Relations board.
Joseph P. Selly, president of the
CLIO union, notified the Labor de-
partment that negotiations with
Western Union for the New York
city employees had begged dowr
Sunday.
Average Wage
A fact finding board recon-
mended wage increases OF 10 cents
an hour for messengers and 1t II
cents for others. This would Lift
the messengers rate from 55 to 81
cents. The board found that the
average rate for Western Un!os
employees throughout the system
was 81 cents ar hour.
The principal difference between
the company and the ALL unions
has arisen over a clause proposct
by the company making the Is l..
cent increase conditional upon ap
prevail by the Wage Sterilization
board. The company also seeks
provision in the proposed tWo-yeal
contract making it impossible fol
the union to reopen it for higher
wages unless the Bureau of Labor
statistics finds the cost of living q
per cent above present levels.

Names Truman, Byrnes
The Russian delegate said that
President Truman and Secretary
of State James F. Byrnes had
promised that United States troops
would be Withdrawn from China
after japanese troops had been dis
armed and sent home or as soon
as the Chinese government was
able to perform these functions.
He said the repatriation of the
japanese was about completed by
the end of June, three months
ago." and he charged that the
repatriation was only a screen ito
cover the real aim for keeping
these troops in China"
Gromyko, looking directly at
the American and British delegates
as he read his nine-page speech
in Russian, said 1--WE hear more
and more voices of prote ST
against the presence of U. S. and
British troops in China, India,

question, which Gromyko described
as a "situation'' under the U. N

One Saturday night in August
we rode Cardinals carrousels I'M
til we felt like a photograph re-
cord and spent all the pin money
we were saving for our 1850 auto
mobile.
Still, something a lacking. and
the memory of that night is sadly
out of shape.
NO NOBLE CALLIOPE - That
line up there - I'VE felt like a
photograph record spells the
reason for our lament.
Carolina's carrousels spun N
their happy orbit in Summer OF
1916 to the tune of photograph re-
cords regular photograph re-
cords played on a mechanism like
a juke box.
Where was that noble musical
instrument, he steam-operateo
calliope, that footed us around the
merry-go-round's course when we,
and YOU too. were kids A merry
go-round without a calliope is like
Fritz Kreisler without a fiddle, a
newspaperman without a type
writer, a radio announcer without
a microphone.

agine how it shocked us to mount
a white charger with a red name
and find ourself posting to the
boogie-woogie of Benny Goodman
instead of the hoarse steamy notes
of "Over The Waves"
Since this was our first ride in
many a long year. we don't know
how long it has been since the
