HELLO! FOLKS

After having a two months rest from the publication of the Valley Settler, it is rather difficult to get back into the
 swing of things again. I am sorry that no one could be found to carry on the work of the Valley Settler during my absence. The Office found that it was too much work along ri tn the ir other duties and no one olso would tackle the job. However, hero is the paper again and the prospects arc brighter for a bigger and noVsicr paper. All subscri pt ions vi Il be extended for cne month to mako up for the month of April during which time paper was printed. 1 would like to take this opportunity to express my docp approc iation to al1l my friends and nc ighbors who havo been So kind and thoughtful during my illness. What would do without friends?
 Ind before I clo sc--Ve havc ono of tho finest hosnitals right horo in Palmer that can be found in the Torri tory. The entire staff is giving oxcol1 ont service to the Valley and ono could not a six for better caro. It is like being vi tn one big happy family to be patient in our Matanuska Valley Hos0i tai.

CAPITAL CnAFF

It was a tribute to Majority
 Whip John Sparkman when the House voted to accept the com-
 promise authorizing S400,000,000 in subsidies for the producers of building materials. Other Admin
 istration leaders were afraid of the vote, but Sparkman knew that many Congressmen had heard from disappointed veterans at home. So he went to work on the telephone and on the House floor-buttonho ing both Democrats and Republi- cans. Housing subsidies were car ried by nearly 50 votes. Off cers of the battleship Missouri put up a loud howl last Navy Day when New York Souvenir hunters took many objects from the ship. But when they were guests of Paul filling, Minister to Tangier, last month at his home there, filling had to complain to the Captain that dozens of silver and gold heir looms disappeared from his home.

HIGHER WAGES PRESSURE

Slowly but surely the large wage increases granted under the sponsorship of the Administration are being reflected in higher costs and higher prices despite the many forecasts that this would not happen. We have already had increases in the prices of steel meats building materials and other goods in order to com pensate for recent wage nceases Now the railroads have asked the Interstate Commerce Commission to approve 25 per cent increase in freight rates on most products This increase is designed to compensate Tor the hieher wage costs for higher material costs
 er,,ninp in large part from recent wage increases
 The railroads estimate that the latest wage increase of 6 cents per hour will add s6l90000OO to their l946 wage bill It was possible for the railroads to absorb these large wartime increases without any increase r freight rates because of the record volume Of wartime freight traffic Another favorable factor was the con- version of quarter of billion dollar loss on passenger traffic into profit of that amount as result o the huge wartime movement of passenger traffic.

LONE WOLF WHITNEY

A. F Whitney, the man who now refuses to arbitrate, is the son of a preacher, was born in Cedar Ra- bids, Iowa, the same state which nurtured John L. Lewis. He got his first job as news butcher on the Chicago and Northwestern, later graduating to brakeman on the H. linois Central, is considered the most brilliant and able of the brotherhood leaders. FDR once sent him to Buenos Aires as a delegate to q pan-American conference.
 Whitney long has been the lone wolf of the brotherhoods, and in cne Chicago meeting in 1887, J. A. Phillips, then head of the Rail- way Conductors, made serious charges against him. Whitney re- piled with an epithet, and Phillips threw an ink bottle at Whitney's head.
 One reason for Whitney's lone- wolf attitude, especially for his troubles with the Order of Railway
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-05-18

with wages and material costs continuing to rise while traffic has declined the petition for an increase in freight rates has been the inevitable result.
 While in many wage increases have been absorbed without price increases, it has been clear from the outset that steel and railroads not in this category Moreover, because of their basic im- portance in all production and distribution, price increases in those inevitably influence costs throughout the entire economy Here have evidence of the concrete economic realities of wage increases in contrast to the political wishful thinking that large wage increases are possible without price increases
 And here is the reason for the recent attempt on the part of the House of Representatives to clip the claws of the OPA It is apparent that if the working mans wages continue to climb prices must also climb to pay the wages-the old inflationary spiral When price control begun there were no ceilings on wages, and when the War Labor Board, with its wage ceilings was finally given the power to freeze wages the pressure for higher prices already at high point.

 On Easter Sunday and the day following, Russian fighter planes twice menaced C-47 cargo planes oi the U S Army Air Forces in orderly flight Austria Protests based on the incidents were lodged with Soviet authorities by Gen. Mark w. Clark, American commander in Austria and his opposite Marshal Ivan S. Konev assured General Clark that every step would be taken to prevent further attacks U. S. planes Austria.
 Tuesday two Soviet fighter planes "buzzed" Gen. era Clarks personal plane. Flying Fortress while it was being flown from Vienna to Linz by Brig. Gen Ralph A. Snavey, commander of the Air Division of American Forces in Austria. General Clark it happened not aboard.
 The cable report said that the Soviet planes made several swoops at the Flying Fortress without firing their guns. In the previous incidents, the Russians had actually fired, without effect at the American aircraft
 The Russians notoriousy "rambunctious" in their style of flying and is possible that the pilots of the fighters meant particular discourtesy in flying close enough to buzz" the larger craft It i, possble-but hardly probable. We know of air force that encourages permits fighter pilots to endanger the safety of bombers by "buzzing" them without occasion for close flying, and certainly this is part of the etiquette of the sky where the planes of another nationality are concerned
 It should be made clearer to the Soviet Govern ment that the planes Of the USAAF not play things, and if such incidents continue we will be forced to the conclusion that they are deliberate affrontS

Conductors, is that his union has about 16,0OO conduciors-or more than one third of the organized railroad conductors. This dates back to the days when many trainmen, promoted to be conduc- tors, decided to remain with Whit ney's Trainfnen instead of joining the Order of Railway Conductors.
 At enc time, the Order of Rail- way Conductors staged a drive to organize all conductors, but made little headway in raiding Whitney's union By and large, his conductors remained as loyal to him as Whit ney himself was to his idol, the late Franklin Roosevelt.

HEART AND HOME

tIE EAII 1N D f1oM
 The aged are favored under this configuration. The stars are also friendly to young women in love, especially those who are recovering from disappointment in earlier af- fairs of the heart.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Great activity in the New York stock market throughout the Sum mer months is indicated, bus there will be occasional brief periods of irregular trading that will upset the most cautious predictions.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Those counting on big crops and a great surplus of food in the Fall are warned not to discount the pos sibility of a serious summer drought which could have its effect on every pantry in the country.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 There is nothing in the stars to support the fear of serious trouble between the United States and Rus sia, but signs do not preclude the possibility of increasing friction be- tween the two over a period of years. Those who still see threat of war before 1851 are worrying needlessly
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of interesting experiences in con nection with rev enterprise
 Children born today probably will be exceptionally intelligent and carly show talent for art, music or liter ature.

TWO BROTHERHOOD TO
 FLIP-FLOP

Today, Harry Truman not only finds himself trying to prevent higher wage-boost than that al- ready given rail workers by an ar- bitration board-s1 28 per day-but he also finds himself with the two rail leaders who helped Roosevelt arbitrate, now flatly opposed to ar bitration.
 Roosevelt, faced with the strike threat, turned to his best rail- worker friend at one memorable rail conference, and said: I'm go- ing to begin by asking you, Al, if you will accept me as sole arbitra- tor"
 Speaking for the Trainmen, we'll accept, MT. President" replied Whitney without moments thought.
 Other brotherhood leaders asked more tims to consider, and hot fight developed between Whitney and Johnstcn on one side and the three other brotherhood leaders :: Larry Fraser of the Conductors, Tsm Cashon of the Switchm1n, and D4sey Roberts9n of the Bremen. The latter thee stuobornly resist ca Rcossrel, arbitration plea and only accepted belatedly.
 New t-e -1tuatioi is diametrical- ly t.le crp site, The three who re- lta-d b q citrate at Rooseyelt's icquest-the Conductors, Firemer and Switchmen-have already ac- cepted Truman's arbitration offer and the award of SIPS a day has been recommended fThey are not happy about the amount awarded lut believe in continuing theil trade However, FDR's old friends Whitney and Johnston, not ever agreeing to arbitrate, have called the strike.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 Many women in the home are finding tkeir lives cluttered up with non-essentials and boring rou- tine and they are warned by the stars against self-pity, restlessness and pointless introspection. House. work is never exciting, but it can be made interesting and not too wearing.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS The stars warn against unre- strained optimism concerning the duration of the coming period of prosperity. The wise ones will make the most of their opportunities now and in the future, but will not lose sight of the fact that the nations purchasing power ultimately will decline.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Organized labor has made one strong bid to participate in manage ment and there are signs that this ambition will be pursued with great CT diligence and determination in the immediate future.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Though many critics will rise in opposition to U. s. loan to France there is little likelihood that this effort will prevent the loan from being made.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of progress in the activity that puts the greatest demands on their time.
 Children born today will be clear headed, energetic and tireless work CTS when they are engaged in la bor of their own choosing.

RAIL BITTERNESS DEEPENs

For a long time, bad blood had existed between the Trainmen- Engineer brotherhoods and the ether three - Conductors, Switch men and Firemen. It has been somewhat like the CIO-AFL TOW, but the bitterness deepened after the Roosevelt arbitration dispute.
 Whitney, at the time, sent let ter to all his trainmen excoriating the other brotherhoods for refusing to arbitrate-a letter which doesn't put him in such a good light to- day. Among other things, he made up a little poem which read:
 Three blind mice-hear how they talk!
 They all refuse to arbitrate-
 They're gambling with their
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-05-18

country's fate
 Though the hour is getting late
 For the three blind mice"
 Were they afraid to trust the President?" Whitney asked his fel- low Trainmen in the round-robln letter. "Or is it possible that they (the other three brotherhoods) were playing organization politics in the hope that they may streng- then their numerical and financial condition?"
 The letter didn't help ease the brotherhood feud; though the Con- ductors, Switchmen and Bremen who have now accepted arbitration consider Whitney's epistle just a little bit ludicrous today.

FDR, however, opposed. And, at a meeting with the brotherhood lead- CTS in December 1943, FDR had some strong words to say about the pay hike proposed by the man whe was to succeed him.
 If Congress passes the Truman Resolution" he decreed, T shall veto it. And I shall veto any other attempt by small group to get theirs at the expense of the nation. This is not government" he con- tinued: that is government by blackmail I am shocked to come back from the battlefront, where everyone is doing such good job, and find talk of a railroad strike. "
