varityper or paste-up copy during
composing room strikes were ironed
out by the two unions executive coun-

Although declining to make specific
reference to the varityper dispute, the
two unions issued a joint statement
declaring that neither shall "engage
in any strikebreaking procedure by
doing work not previously" handled.
Determination of these facts will
be left up to the two unions involved

statement said.
The varityper is a new machine
which produces pages that can be

Railroad Chief Backs
Workers Pay Boost

Philadelphia - QLNS). - NJ. W.
Clement, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, declared here that rail
road workers are entitled to wage in
creases "the same as everybody else, y
but added that "for every cent that
wages increase we will ask / per-
cent increase in freight rates."
Mr.. Clement, who spoke at the
Union League, said there was nc
present thought of increasing passen-
ger fares. However, he asserted that
the railroads must have higher earn
ings to modernize their equipment and
compete with air, bus and truck trans
portaion.
He told his audience Of Geo bankers
and business men that railroad en-
ployes had been patriotic during the
war and "agreed with us to arbitrate
time and time again while Others
were trying some other method"

Phone Strike
Is Set For
March 9TH

Washington-(FP). - A coastto-
coast telephone strike of 100000 work
ers set for March Z will be directed
from Washington by the Natl. FEEDER
alton of Telephone Workers (unaffili-
ated) unless federal intervention
meanwhile brings about boost in
wage proposals by management.
The walkout, approved in Memphis
by the NFTW executive board, in
wolves II local unions demanding a 81
a day wage increase, minimum OF
65c an hour and the 40 hour week.
Another 33 local unions that have
not complied with the 80 day waiting
period required by federal law, were
directed to respect picket lines of the
striking unions. They have member
ship of 100000.
Operators, production workers,
craftsmen and clerical workers are in
cluded in the NFTW's membership.
At the Memphis meeting Sec. Carl

allow emergency service because it
would allow supervisory personnel to
scab on our job"

it's still not what it was in 1929 whel
a seat cost half million dollars, the
stock market expert explained.
"What makes the stock market &c
up?" | asked him. Anything and
everything that means an expectation
of big profits and dividends,' he said
There was a big spurt, for instance,

Taxation of price ceilings practically
caused a riot. Reason the market
didn't skyrocket when Truman's wage

was that investors were waiting to
see what would happen, since price
increases hinge on wage increases.

rupted the stock market boom at all,
the exchange man said. Despite the

Callahan pointed out that "in an in

to put your money in stocks because
the purchasing power Of the dollar
is going down so fast" But the ex-
pert's advice won't help the workers
much. A share Of U. S. Steel, for in
stance, costs about $95 and most spec
ulators buy in lots ranging from 100
shares to 10000. Not many workers
could afford to tuck $4,000 away in
some nice safe stock.
The stock market man explained |
why the 1929 boom ended in a crash

prices went higher and higher (no

- We have just been through week
bli called Brotherhood Week.
I During the week there were radio
- programs, motion pictures, banquets
te' and other gatherings.
The objective was to strengthen the
ranks of men and women who believe
!. that racial and religious prejudice is
= bad and should be eliminated. That OBJ
r jpctive is all to the good.
During the special week there was
furious expenditure of energy in
many sections,in many cities. Perhaps
a lot Of people were stimulated to
: should rate high among us as some
ssi thing to get cured.
= But now that the special week is
o. over, what goes?
How long will the ardor last? How
I long will there be consciousness that
'r division among US is the foe of all Of
Il us?
!, One is warranted in wondering.
e One newspaper editorial shot some
h thing of a hot bullet into the picture.
: 1t pointed out that before anything
I very effective can be done to elimi-
: nate prejudice and suspicion there
would have to be thorough examina-
!, tion into the causes thereof and it in
timated broadly that quite probably
some of the causes were economic.
And there you have something.
\ The National Conference of Chris
tians and Jews sponsored the special
week and it carries on work through
out the year
. But does it take the lance and go
scientifically probing into the body
polite to find out just what are the
] root causes of the evils of hate, pre-
judice and suspicion?
The shining example of the priest,
rabbi and minister who, on sinking
troop ship gave their life jackets to
troops, while they went down togeth
er, is not enough, noble as it was.
/ 1t isn't religious prejudice that leads
to dislike of the Mexican worker in
{ many sections.
, 1t wasn't religious prejudice that led
to the Asiatic Exclusion Act.
1t isn't religious prejudice that puts
the Negro where he is in the social
and economic scheme of things.
1t wasn't religious prejudice that
branded certain immigrants as "hun-
kies" and "wops" in earlier days.
And it wasn't racial, because so
many races were involved. 1t isn't en-
tirely racial with the Jew, when a
Brandeis can rise to be a Supreme
Court Justice, with Frankfurter fol-
lowing him to that same bench.
It is interesting to note that in con-
nection with Brotherhood Week there
was talk about the Negro situation in
the North, but silence about it in the
South.

FARMERS:
AU-Out Again

In stepping up crop acreage this
year in answer to government de-
mands for increased food produc-
ton, farmers are banking on the
continued good growing weather of
the war years and no adverse turn
of the present tight labor, ma
chinery and equipment situation.
Though falling short of govern
ment acreage goals for 16 major
crops by 8 per cent, farmers plans
call for planting 357h million acres
this year in comparison with 357 mil
lion in 1945 and 355 million for the
1934-'43 average.
OF critical crops needed for over
seas relief, wheat is expected to ex-
ceed goals while prospects for vege-
table oil seeds are less favorable.
Oats, peanuts, tobacco and rice are
also expected to surpass goals with
corn, hay, sorghums, barley, pota-
toes, sugar beets, dry beans and
peas falling short.
With the indicated acreage of
corn down from last year and only
oats of all the feed grains expected
to top goals, additional reductions
in livestock feeding through 1947
were forecast.

DIPLOMACY:
u. S. Embarrassed

Juan Domingo Peron's smashing
victory in Argentine's presidential
election has greatly complicated the
U. SIS diplomatic position in South
America since this country not only
openly opposed his candidacy but
also repeatedly insisted that it could
not sign any treaty with a govern
ment headed by him.
Second-guessers were quick to
jump on the state departments
back for Understanding Peron's
strength among the working classes
and farmers and going out whole
hog for the opposition. The workers
idolize Peron for having pushed leg
islation for raising wages, estab-
fishing social security and assur-
ing vacations with pay, while the
farmers are in sympathy with his
agrarian reforms.
Now seated firmly in the saddle,
Peron could relieve U. S. embar-
rassment by acting against the
Nazi industrialists and agents he is
accused of harboring. While Britain
has gone along with the U. S. in
diplomatic protests against Fascist
penetrations in Argentine, observ-
ers believe London could not be ex-
pected to apply pressure against
Peron because of Britain's depend
ence upon the South American ma
ton for wheat and meat.

strikes and which never made the
headlines, couldn't help thinking of
a conversation I had with Maj.
Charles Estes, one of the labor de-
partment's anonymous heroes of
these bloodless and successful en-
counters.
Estes has what it takes to be
conciliator and in his case it in
cludes, along with keen sensitivity
to the human side of all relation
ships among workers and employ
ers, keen sense for the nice use
of words. Indeed, semantics (the
science of meanings, as contrast
ed with phonetics, the science of
sounds) is his hobby.
''The ultimate goal of the concili-
alton service of the labor depart
ment is not merely the settlement
Of disputes but the prevention
Of disputes" said Major Estes the
other day. And then he went on to
expand on his thesis that the crux
of labor management relations is
human adjustment, the adjustment
of one person to another.
The main trouble, he says, is poor
communication, which is poor for
three reasons: l, poor reception, or
imperfect listening and perception;
2, poor digestion, or inaccurate in
depreciation and assimilation Of
what is read or heard; and 8, poor
transmission, or inadequate use of
speech and language.
Estes can 60 on for hours on that
subject and will, at the drop of a
hat. In fact, once when, interested
though I was, I had to tear my
self away for a pressing engage
ment, / could only do so after con-
vincing him that I was not anti
semantic. I wish / had space to
develop his ideas for they represent
practical system which he and
his colleagues have demonstrated

President put it.

UNO:
Back Iran

Maintaining its firm position
against encroachment on the SOW
ereignty Of small nations, the U. S.
pressed for UNO's consideration Of
Trans complaint against Russian oc-
cupation Of the country in the face
of Soviet opposition.
Evidencing no inclination to back
down on its strong statement that
it could not remain Indifferent to
Russian activities in Iran, the U. S.
bucked the Reds request for post
ponement of Trans complaint be-
cause of their professed inability to
assemble pertinent data in time for
the hearing. BY opposing the Rus
sian demand, the U. S. substanti-
ated reports from Teheran that this
country had pledged Iran to back its
rights under the UNO charter.
Trans complaint against Russia
was the second filed since UNO got
underway, Teheran having previ-
ously protested against Red support
of an autonomous movement in
Azerbaijan province. Basis of the
second complaint, Russia's occupa-
ton of Iran was seen as a move to
exert pressure for obtaining oil
concessions in the northern half OF
the country adjoining the Red petro-
leum fields around Baku.

WASHINGTON, D. c. - The speed
with which the American people
have run away from the war is in
credible. Like the lazy workman who
drops his hammer and leaps for the
dinner pail at the first toot of noon,
we began a stampede for the din
ing table on VI Day.
Stampedes always make trouble
for someone. Many hundreds of peo-
pie will starve as result, and
heaven only knows how the cause
of democracy throughout the world
may suffer.
We could not foretell, but we could
have made allowance for possible
crop failures. They were cata-
strophic in many countries. We
could have pursued a different food
policy at home We shook with fear
lest there would be surpluses, we
tried to get the people to eat up
their stored supplies and counselled
restrictions on food production to
prevent a glutted market, especial
ly in eggs and poultry. And how we
ate!
That is why, a few days ago,
we hailed back Herbert Hoover into
service. He said he had promised

RUSSIA:
Industrial Plan

Looking not only to the rebuilding
of it's war-shattered economy but
also to the further development of
the country, Russia proclaimed a
new five-year-plan affecting indus
try, housing, education and re-
search.
For industry, Russia plans three
to four-fold increase in automobile
production; one and one-half boost
in chemical output, and a II per
cent raise in food processing. In
addition, iron production would be
stepped up to 10 million tons an
nually; steel, Is million tons, coal,
$50 million tons; oil, 35 million tons
and electric power, 85 billion kilo-
watt hours
Over 3N billion dollars are sched-
uled to be spent on housing over
the five-year period and prewar ex-
penditures for education and culture
would be increased two and one
quarter times to over 1874 billion
dollars.
Substantial sums also were re-
served for scientific research, in
cluding the release and utilization
of atomic energy and weather fore
casting.

the interview, he said in the same
matter-of-fact tone, "There is one
message I would like to give to the
households of America" There was
a long pause. Finally he spoke
looking at nobody, as is his habit
"I would like to have them enter
tain at their tables an invisible

And so the old engineer, so often
accused of having a heart of wood,
the man of slide-rule and logarithms,
painted a deeply moving picture in
the simplest of words and in the
simplest ways. I left the interview
feeling sure that however Amer

the biggest food bill in history we
would be willing to conserve enough
so that Mr.. Hoover's invisible guests
wouldn't leave our tables hungry.
