their own meetings last week
When Meyer Bernstein, CIC
veterans director, told the Le-
gion's Natl Employment Con-
ference here that "the principle
of superseniority, if permitted
to stand, will have the very op-
posite of its intended effect"
The CIO official told the dis
comfited Legionaires that if su-
perseniority is accepted "it will
set the labor relations clock

of industrial favoritism and
nepotism, when tenure of en-

ton and ultimately ended, not in
one Pacific railroad, but three.
The first to be built was the I'm
ion Pacific, following the general
course of the Oregon and Cali
fornia trails. The act of Congress
creating the railroad company pro-
vided subsidy of 10000 a mile
for the level country east of the
Rocky Mountains; $48, 900 a mile
through mountain ranges; and
$1,000 a mile for the section be-
tween ranges. In addition $4,000
acres of land to the mile was
granted in alternate sections con-
tiguous to the right-of-Way.
In charge of tn survey for the
Northern Pacific Railroad was the
distinguished army engineer, Isaac
I. Stevens. He had mapped out in
advance the route which he thot,
from study of available records,
would be the most practical. my
intention" he said, "is to cross the
Rocky Mountains by the Marias
Pass just under the 10th parallel
and to reach the Sound if practical
by direct route, keeping above the
Columbia and crossing the Cascade
Range just under Mt. Baker" This
projected route roughly parallels
the present Great Northern, the
shortest and best route. It indi-
Gates good judgment on the part
of Stevens, although circumstances
conspired to keep him to the line
further south which the Northern
Pacific eventually took.
One of his principal assistants
was George B. Mcclellan, Of Civil
War fame, who was supposed to
have explored the passes Of the
North Cascades. He met Stevens at
Fort Colville, where he argued that
the only feasible route was down
the Columbia River to its mouth.
So the entire expedition proceed
ed to Fort Walla Walla. There
Stevens gained information which
made him express regret that he
had not insisted on an examine
ton of Snoqualmie Pass - the
pass used by the Milwaukee road
today.
AS territorial governor Stevens
helped to organize the first North
ern Pacific Railroad Company in
the legislature, and at his bequest
that body sent a memorial to Con-
gress asking for grant Of land to
finance the project. He was divert
ed from railway building, how
ever, by Indian troubles. In 1855
he pushed through the treaty at
Walla Walla which was signed re-
luctantly by the tribes present.
There was delay in getting the
money and goods agreed upon, and
