it has made!
Lastly, we would like to mention
that our school Newspaper, the

fully published its third issue of
the year. This year our paper for
the first time in its history is

are mighty proud of the work

Truman Is "Gratified."
In Washington, President Truman
said he was highly gratifed" that
management and labor had agreed
to arbitrate the wage demands.
His statement follows:
Il have just received a telegram
from the National Mediation Board,
reporting on the conclusion of medi-
alton proceedings in Chicago. A
wage dispute between all the 134
principal railroads of the Nation
and the railroad labor unions had
been in process of mediation for the
past three weeks.
THE telegram informs me that
an agreement to submit the dispute
to voluntary arbitration in accord
ance with the Railway Labor Act
has just been concluded between
the railroads and 18 of the 20 rail-
road labor unions.
"As the mediation board pointed
out, this Is another demonstration
that collective bargaining is still
functioning in this industry that
has operated under the Railway
Labor Act for the past 20 years
Il am highly gratified at this re-
port from the National Mediation
Board and congratulate the board
and the parties concerned on their
fine accomplishment"
