land was winding up his
second administration and rural
America was in its stride when f1ve
men started the great experiment
so years ago, October l. 1t was the
first attempt at rural free delivery
of mail in West Virginia in 1896.
From the old post ONCE in Charles
Washington Hall, Charles Town,
w. Va, across the street from the
Jail which, in 1859, housed the
Abolitionist John Brown, and from
the Offices in nearby Uvilla and
Halltown, the five began 20-mile
routes. Now almost 100000
people depend on rural free delivery
Little was recorded about the ex-
ploits of the five and only one of
them survives. He is Melvin T.
Strider of Charles Town, who
started from Uvilla. Keyes Strider
started from Halltown and Harry
c. Gibson. Frank Young and John
Lucas had routes l, 2 and from
Charles Town. Mr.. Strider recalls
that as he was under Is he had to
work few days for nothing until
he reached hiring age. The Uvilla
Office closed in 1908.
Harry c. Gibson lies in an un-
marked grave, but not for long. At
Des Moines last month, Representa-
tive Jennings Randolph, who heads
the House Civil Service Committee,
reminded the National Rural Letter
Carriers Association about it and
they voted to buy a marker, erect
it at the grave and dedicate it with
suitable ceremonies next Tuesday.

First Penalty In
 Civil Proceedings

For the first time, in civil con- tempt proceeding brought for vio' lation of an injunction under the Fair Labor Standards Act, United States District Judge has ordered a defendant company, in addition to payment of a fine, not only to make simple restitution of back wages to its employees, but to pay an additional equal amount as iquidated damages, it was an nOunced today by L. Metcalfe Wall. ing, Administrator of the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divi. sions of the United States Depart ment of Labor.
 The order of the Judge, William E. Smith, was made in a civil contempt proceeding filed in the United States District Court for New Jersey.
 In order to purge itself of contempt to which the defendant pleaded guilty, Judge Smith permitted the defendant company to make restitution to AZ employees of $2,000 in unpaid wages under the Act. In addition, however, he read into the record section 10 (b) of the Act, which provides for liabil- ity to employees not only for simple restitution but also for an additional equal amount as liquidated damages, and required the defendant to pay the added equal amount on the ground that the violations of the Act auto matically created the liability which it provided.

Whitney Again President Of R.R. Trainmen

MIAMI, Fla. - (FP) = A. F. Whitney. president of the, Bro. of Railroad Trainmen for l8 years, was elected to another 4-year term at the unions convention here by a vote of 7l9 to 285. His opponent was Charles H. Smith, a vice-presi- dent, of Forth Worth, Tex.
 Newly elected general secretary treasurer is former Vice Pres. w. P. Kennedy of Minneapolis, replacing George w. Anderson who retired after IS years service.
 Only setback for the Whitney ad- ministration was the defeat of Legis. Rep. Martin Miller, who was ap- pointed to the post 3H years ago. The convention voted 621 to 397 to replace Miller with Harry See, legis- lative chairman of the California BRT.
 Resolutions adopted called for amendment of the railway labor act to permit the BRIT to obtain closed shop clauses in its contracts, exten- sion of the act to the bus and trucking industries, opening of 8 campaign to reduce overtime and get double-time pay for all Over- time work, and reafirmed action taken by two previous conventions supporting naturalization of the railroads.

prentices has increased even more be- cause of the rise in the journeyman rate.
 'sThis increase in the percentage of journeymen's rates paid to ap- prentices has special significance 5 MT. Patterson pointed out, be- cause of the fear that the Govern ment subsistence allowance payable to veteran apprentices would tend to lower wage rates." More than 85 per cent of apprentices in the construction trades are veterans.
 The facts on the increase in appren- tice-wage rates were disclosed by a study made by ATS on 60 apprentice ship programs in all of the major building trades selected at random and covering almost 1000 employees. It was found that the average appren- tice rate for 1945-46 represented per cent more of the journeyman rate than in 1o3o-'42.

Wage Control Is Turning Into
 Walking Corpse

Washington (LPA) = Whatever Administration actions will be taken before election day to free the nations wage earners from some of the few remaining economic controls-those over wages-were still shrouded in a fog last week.
 The Wage Stabilization Board to all intents and purposes has ceased operations; its two industry mem- bers have their. resignations on President Truman's desk; the ad- visory board to the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion has urged removal of wage controls.
 According to the Nat1 Industrial Conference Board, conservative fact collecting agency, while actual dollar earnings were up 1870 between Au- gust 1945 and August 1946, the amount of goods that the wage-dollar could buy was 79o less. Despite claims of heavy wage increases made by most manufacturers, real weekly earn ings rose only one-tenth of one per cent between July and August, the NICE announced last week.
