Trainmen's Chief Saws
Washington Papers
Are Friendly 10 Labor
BY the Assoeiofed Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Oct. s.
President A. F. Whitney of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
strongly critical here in reference
to Wall Street, disclosed today that
there is one voice in that financial
stronghold which he considers
friendly.
1.-THE Wall Street Journal always
gives us fair break" Mr.. Whitney
said during his weekly press con-
ference, held In connection with the
railway brotherhood's convention.
aThey stick to the facts" he 'ex-
planned.
The Chicago Journal OF Com
merce he also praised for the same
reason, and other newspapers he
listed as friendly" included ali
Washington newspapers, with spe-
cial mention for The Evening Star
and the Post. and the st. Louis
Post Dispatch. s s
Not Full List.
Mr.. whitney, adding that those
named were not the full list of fair
newspapers, advanced these names
when it was called to his attention
that his public relations COMMITTEES
had adopted resolution in which
one paragraph stated:
"The vicious and unfair treatment
labor is receiving from the daily
press and from the radio is proof
enough that broad action to pro-
mote understanding of our problems
and good public relations must be
taken promptly"
Asked to say what daily press was
treating labor viciously and un-
fairly, Mr.. Whitney said:
1--WE are treated a bit rough al
times by the Chicago Tribune and
the Cleveland Plain Dealer"
Wallace Won't Speak.
Mr.. Whitney said he had been In
formed by former Secretary of Com
merce Henry A. Wallace that Mr.
Wallace found it impossible to come
here to address the convention.
The Brotherhood president also
stated that a projected Legislative
program in which the defeat Of q
number Of members of Congress
would be sought in the Forthcoming
elections had started with the dis
patch of about rs kilograms to locals
in various parts of the country. He
refused further information on the
subject.
He reported that the brother
hoods membership had reached
218, 800, a recent gain of 900, and
credited President Truman's action
in breaking the trainmen's strike
last May for the increase.
Mr.. Whitney said the Railway
Labor Act required an open shop
among railroad unions, and said that
in the overall picture the effect od
the open shop had not been bad
He criticized the Florida Anti
closed shop amendment as "a bao
law" however, because "it was in
tended as a slap at labor"

B THE SUNDAY STAR, Washington, D. G..
&,

beef cattle sold at Chicago. None
may be sold above that figure, re-
gardless of the grade OF beef the
animal may produce.
Packers must keep within "com-
pliance ranges" for various grades OF
beef and, at the end of each month,
account for the various prices re-
ceived for beef slaughtered. Thus,
packers cannot afford to bid con-
stantly for cattle at $20.25 when they
know the animals will not consist
entity grade out to top quality.
In addition, packers are held to
fixed ceilings on the finished meat
they sell to wholesalers. Choice
grade beef is pegged at $24.55 per
100 pounds; good grade. $23.25; COM
merciaI grade, $17.8o; utility grade,
$3.50, and cutters and Gamers,
$13.05.
The way the industry has figured
it out from long experience, 1t would
have to pay no more than $l8 for
the best grade cattle now selling
at s20.25 in order to make a profit.
Where Black Market Starts.
Cattle at Chicago continue to sell
right up to the overriding ceiling,
frequently without regard to its
quality. Packers in Chicago wonder
how the buyers-most of them are
said to be purchasing for small
eastern packers or for movement
into feed lots-can continue to pay
such prices and come out in their
bookkeeping at the end OF the
month.
This, they admit privately, is
probably where the black market
starts.
The yards were nearly deserted
the day this reporter visited them.
In one pen, where buyers on horse
back once looked over prime stock,
there was one scrawny cow. In
another pen, across an alley where
cattle is moved for transfer to feed
lots or slaughter, three forlorn-
looking cows dozed in the autumn
sun.
"They probably came in from some
nearby dairy farm" observed vet
eran buyer for Swift & Co. That's
Gamer beef-good for making sau-
sage or canning. just junk"
He said that in his 27 years in
the business, he had never seen the
Chicago yards duller.
Where the air normally would be
filled with the bawling Of cattle,
there was only the neighing Of a
buyers horse tethered to a pen.
There was little work for either
man or horse.

'Dilatory Actions Charged.
This caused the Marine Engineers
to charge that the commission had
reversed a commitment to order
union security" into effect on the
West Coast. The union also said
Eastern operators HAD '"reneged" or
agreement to negotiate on that
basis.
Next. Capt. Harry Martin, head oi
the AFL Masters, charged that the
strike on all coasts "'is being pro-
longed because of the dilatory &C
tions of all the operators. both East
and West Coast, and the U. s. Maris
time Commission.
Mr.. Taylor then said the ui1ionl
have stymied negotiations insofar
as the East Coast and Gulf Is con-
cerned by maintaining an arrogant
position in debating what the terms
of an agreement shall be-"
Call 1t Political Action"
This was followed by the accusa-
tion from the &Pacific American
Shipowners Association that the
two unions have been engaging ir
political action" rather than col.
lective bargaining.
'It is our sincere belief" the Wesi
Coast group said, that the Ameri-
can merchant marine could moi
survive with a provision under
which its officers would be selected
by the unions and subject to union
domination and control"
The Pacific shipowners said they
understood that some of the rep
resentatives of the Labor Depart
ment took it upon themselves te
make a deal with the unions under
which the closed shop for licensed
officers would have been imposed
upon us by Government order. Con-
duct such as this upon the part oi
supposedly impartial Government
mediators speaks for itself"
Mr.. Warren took exception te
this, declaring 1--WE made no deal
with either Of the unions. We simply
transmitted to the unions a copy, ol

terrnined future. This trend Of
cattle to feed lots and pastures, al
ready begun in the Omaha area and
Iowa, will continue, cattle experts
predict.
Chicago stockyard officials report
that the big packers are slaughter
ing only about 20 per cent of the
cattle they normally would at this
time of year, while hog slaughter is
around Is per cent OF the average
This is a typical nidweek score
for current livestock receipts at
Chicago: Cattle, 1886; hogs, LOTT,
and calves, 274. Compare these fig
ures with receipts on the same day
a year ago: Cattle, 1874; hogs,
10,022, and calves, 879.
Livestock men like toslook back
ever the years when an-time records
were set in receipts. The cattle
mark was made November 16, 1908
with 1929 head in one day; the
hog record, on December Is, 1924,
when 122,749 head swamped yard
facilities, and the calf record OF
1882 head came on September 4,
1884.
Since September l, when price
ceilings were restored, there has
been not one carload of top-grade
cattle on this market and only one
load of top-grade hogs" reporter

Drovers' Journal, declared. buyers

The president of one of the big

country said some days six of his
buyers will manage to buy five head
of cattle among them.
Some one has suggested that
maybe we ought to slaughter the
buyers" he said.

This is the explanation given by

Negotiations Halted

Employment contract negotiation.
between representatives Of about
5000 service workers and 20 Wash
ington hotels were suspended late
yesterday with both sides agreeing
to mark time pending further con-
ferences to be arranged by the
United States Cancellation Service
Conciliator Clyde M. Mills said
he recommended the temporary
suspension when the sixth day oi
conferences failed to break a dead
lock between the unions and hotel
operators.
Attorney Samuel Levine, repre-
senting the workers, said that agree
ment to the conciliator's request to
maintain status quo meant the
union would withhold strike action
"for while at least"
1t is expected that attempts to
resume negotiations will be made
tomorrow.
Participants in the conference
who included Attorney Joseph G
McGarrathy as representative fol-
the hotels, said they had agreed
not to discuss the issues before the
negotiations were resumed.
It was acknowledged, however
that the deadlock has arisen from
union demands for increased wages
and other benefits in the renewal
of employment contracts which ex-
pired recently.
Unions involved are Local 80
Hotel Service Workers; Local 781
Walters and Mattresses: Local 209
Cooks and Kitchen Employees, and
Local rs, Bartenders. All are affili-
ates of the Hotel and Restaurant

Dissatisfaction Growing
lin U. s, Soviet Radio Says
By the Assoeiated Press

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The Moscow
radio said tonight there was increas-
ing American dissatisfaction with
United States domestic and foreign
policy and a growing demand for a
return "to the Roosevelt line"
"In general" said Broadcaster
Mikhail Mikhailov in an English
commentary, "the present political
line is proclaimed to be the con-
tinuation of Roosevelt's policy, and
this is asserted the more insistently
the less it tallies the facts"

quest that It be transmitted to the

quest that It be transmitted to the
unions"
He said an attempt was being
made to get the Commission to
clarity" Its position.
In its statement yesterday the
Commission said 1t would "au-
thorize Its general agents operating
our ships to comply with any agree
ment previously reached between
the private operators and all labor
unions involved. An official said
this meant not only all unions but
all operators as well.
The CIO Engineers accused the
commission Of "cold- -plooded disre-
gard OF fair dealings" and said it
had reversed firm, solemn obli-
CATION" They showed an agree
ment, allegedly entered into by the
commission, which indicated that
terms agreed to on the East and
Gulf Coasts would be made effective
on Government boats on all coasts.
Mr.. Warren said it was this dec
laration that the commission re-
quested him to relay to the unions
early in the week.
Capt. Martin showed newsmen a
copy Of an agreement he said was
reached with East and Gulf oper-
ators October ! with reference to
union security demands. 1t appeared
to be signed by both union and
operators representatives. Now, Capt.
Martin said, the operators and the
commission have "backtracked on a
written agreement"
Mr.. Taylor, head negotiator for the
East, said that the unions now pro-
posed that their agreement on union
security become effective only upon
acceptance by the West Coast oper-
atorS or upon Government order
making it partially effective In the
West. He said that would make
operations elsewhere contingent
upon something happening on the
Pacific, and that he could not ac-
cept 1t.
1t was reported that the Maritime
Commission changed its mind re-
garding ordering union security"
provisions into effect because West
Coast operators said they would not
operate the Government ships If
they did so.
The Maritime Commission, mean
time, has gone through with its
plan Of inviting the heads of some
Of the big West Coast shipping
firms to Washington, and attempt
ing to deal with them rather than
the Pacific Association.

United Auto Workers asked auto
mobile manufacturers today to join
him In petitioning President Tru-
man for q national labor manage
ment conference to head Of pos
sible depression.
Sharp curtailments In production
and mounting unemployment In the
industry increases the need for such
conference, the union leader said,
"The logical consequence Of cur
tailed production in the auto indus
try are depression and unemploy-
ment for the Nation" Mr.. Reuther
continued. "The sharp drops in the
stock market indicate that those
consequences may not be too far
off,"

He proposed that the national
conference study and find solu-
tions to production and related
problems which are throwing the
Nations economy out Of gear"
He added that the national CIO
has twice requested the White
House to convene such q conference
Mr.. Reuther, in his statement, said
the need for a labor-management
conference is pointed up sharply
by an announcement from Chrysler
Corp. and the Briggs Manufacturing
Co., supplying firm, that produc-
ton will be curtailed "by IS to 40
per cent"
(The two firms blamed the
sheet steel shortage and indicated
that at least $4,000 employees will
be made idle by the cutback,)
Means Another Setback.
"This announcement means an
other setback in delivering the new
cars the country needs so badly"
Mr.. Reuther continued. "It means
an indefinite period of unemploy-
ment for thousands of Briggs and
Chrysler workers and for many en-
ployed in other plants"
Mr.. Reuther called the steel
shortage "the most serious and most
perplexing' of all our raw material
problems" and said 1t carries the
greatest threat to our long-range
program Of full employment, full
production and full consumption"
Labor. management and the public,
he said, have everything to gain"

Make Buildings Safer

For many years the National
Board of Fire Underwriters has
waged a relentless campaign for
building codes requiring construc-
tion which prevents the ranid
spread OF fire. But the public gen
orally is apathetic except after =
fire tragedy.
Two disastrous hotel fires NAV
now bring further action in the in
tprrSt OF llre prevention. Defects in
construction and poorly guarded
common hazards are principal fac
tors contributing to the rapjd
spread of fire and loss of life in
hotel fires.
