 To cur correspondents who object to our reaction ary doctrine denying the right of the Federal employee to strike we commend letter that President Roosevelt in 1e37 wrote to MT Luther Steward, President of the National Federation of Federal Employees MT. Roose- welt acknowledged that organization of Federal work CTS to present their views wages and working con- ditions justified and appropriate. But he added this significant observations
 All Government employees should realize
 that the process of collective bargaining, as
 usually understood cannot be transpanted into
 the public service. It has it's distinct ano.
 insurmountable limitation when applied to
 public personnel management, The very
 nature and purposes of Government make it
 impossible for administrative officials to repre-
 sent fully bind the employer in mutual
 discussions with Government employee or
 ganizations The employer is the whole people,
 who speak by means of laws enacted by the
 representatives in Congress. Accordingly, ad-
 rninistrative officials and employees alike are
 governed and guided, and in many instances,
 restricted, by laws which establish policies
 procedures or rules in personnel matters.
 Mir Roosevelt then went to declare that a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obsruct the operations of Government until their demands are of Government by those who have sworn to support it. is unthnkabe and intoierable This, is seems to us states the position accurately special relation ship obtains between public servants and the Govern. ment bodies by which they are employed.

Railroad Safety Record
Cincinnati Enquirer


 It is surprising and at the same time interesting, to note that casualty rates among railroad workers were less during the years than in l929-up to that time record period. This happy situation de- veloped in spite of the fact that the business of the various lines was tremendously increased; that more than 100000 experienced employees went into the armed services Under such conditions it would hf- been natural to expect increase rather than a decrease in casualties.
 For many years the railroad companies have been making constant efforts to prevent accidents among their workers Elaborate safety campaigns have been worked out. Educational programs pointed ways and means of preventing casualties have been presented for officials and employees well. New mechanical devices-many of them costyhave been perfected and installed,
 There was time when railroad employees were considered rather poor accident risks But that day long has passed The effects of safety campaigns is being felt reduced tolls And those tolls will fall still farther when normal rail traffic returns and when the skilled employees still in government service back at their posts
 The low wartime casualty record deserves the high est praise for it gives proof of the efficiency of the railroads And without that efficiency mili tary efforts must have suffered Labor and manage ment have cooperated to eliminate many of the dangers which in other days plagued transportation systems The publicas well railroads and railroad men-have benefited.

NON-STRIKING BROTHER

As was expected, the carrier spokesmen threw up their hands when Steelman informed them of the strike leaders amazing reversal: One of the three negotiating groups for the carriers, the Eastern Presi- dens' Committee, led by II. A. Enochs. angrily informed Steelman that if Whitney wanted to act like this they wouldn't agree to any rules changes over and above the l8l2 cent an hour straight wage increase.
 Meanwhile, leaders of the three operating brotherhoods that did not join in the strike-Tom Cashen of the switchmen and Carl J. Golf, assistant president of the firemen and enginemen, who represented the conductors as well in the strike discuSsions were meeting with Steelman and carrier spokesmen on iheir own problems
 Bitterly resentful of Whitney's bulldozing tactics, which they con- sidered antagonistic to the public interest and labor in general, Cash en and Golf readily agreed to the loiz z-cent increase. It was under stood, however, that rules changes would be further negotiated. And, since any rules alterations agreed to would affect all railway workers, the spokesmen for the three non- striking brotherhoods demanded the right to approve whatever changes Whitney won. To this the carriers agreed.

 Note = Stock complaint carrier spokesmen made against Whitney is that he continually steps up' his demands during negotiations.

 Whitney had tentatively agreed to settle on the basis of an 18i2- cent-an-hour pay boost--two and one-half cents more than the Pre- sident's fact finding board proposed with four rules changes over and above the IA changes previously re- commended by the board.
 The additional rules changes de- manded by Whitney were: CD Pay for railroad workers while attend ing investigations of accidents and other inquiries; @ guarantee of 30 days month on the basis of 100 miles day) work for road ser vice employees; (3) pay bonuses for trainmen on freight trains pulled by higher-powered locomotives: "A yard service engineers to te paid the same as freight en-ineers.

 Young girls are under friendly influences. They should learn from their parents what is peces- sary for them to know, if they are to avoid pitfalls and be spared unnecessary shock. The mother who is lovingly honest with her daugh- ter will never have cause to regret it.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The difficulty of finding places to live in the city is driving thous- ands to the suburbs and the ccun- try. Many of these individuals and families will never go back to the cities if they can avoid it. for they are learning that country and semi country life hold attractions far greater than the glitter and stir and conveniences of the city. A sur prising increase in the number of new small business enterprises soon will he noted in the suburban and rural sections of the country.

Working undercover, they stir up and encourage animosities among races and creeds and class es. There are Communists among them, but by no means are they all Communists.

Too few realize that ours is a
way of life dedicated to peace.
That is one of the messages our
men will have to spread through
the towns and villages. to the peo-
pie everywhere. if we are going to
win their confidence.
When the President makes
speech, there are many countries
in which only the high lights of the
address are reported. These, taken
out of their context, sometimes
give an utterly misleading idea of
what the President really meant.
AS a result, the editorial writer
of foreign paper - one which
cannot afford to buy an entire
3,OOO-word speech. even if it were
available for purchase - bases his
opinions on half-knowledge.
1t will be the job of our infor-
nation specialists, as conceive
it, to fill in these gaps, to provide
the background of the news.
Similar services would be offered
in other fields. The Government
certainly does not contemplate
competition with the motion-pic-
ture industry. But we do hope to
send abroad documentary films
depicting simply, everyday Ameri-
can life - films not to be used in
commercial theaters but rather in
such places as schools, libraries.
churches and lecture halls. During
the war we continually sent many
such pictures overseas, and we
created a tremendous demand for
them.
Eager to Know America
SOME of the documentaries were
seen by as many as 5000. 900
people in England alone; people
who came again and again because
they wanted to know more about
America. Four to five million a
month now see them in Latin
America. 1t will be the job of our
information men to make these
films available to the people of any
town anywhere who want to see
them.
The effectiveness of our work
overseas will, of course, depend
largely on the men who administer
it. First, the information special
lists must know America them
selves not only the great cities,
but the small towns; they must
know our farmers, our workers,
our storekeepers and our bankers,
too.
Then we will need men who
understand the professional
problems of those who manage
international media through
out the world; men who can give
foreign editorial writers, script
writers, lecturers, commentators,
all molders of public opinion the

too, will certainly have its part in
the plan, and so we ought to add
radio men. Those acting as cul-
tural attaches will be university
professors usually on leave OF
absence for year or twos
In brief, this will mean bringing
specialists in all media of educa-
ton and information to the assist
ance of the Foreign Service. that
they may contribute to the vitality
and the comprehensiveness of the
common task.
Learn - A. We Teach
FROM the newspaperman's point
of view or that of any man in
the field of communication - two
years of service abroad would,
naturally, be an invaluable asset.
The. exchange of information
among peoples is not one-way
process. We take as We give; we
learn about others while we teach
them about ourselves.
In the years ahead it will be as
necessary for us to understand
other nations as it will be for them
to understand us. And here, too,
the representatives of newspapers
and other media can be of great
help. Trained as they are, they
can be counted on to bring us
firsthand reports about other peo-
pie which will be of inestimable
Importance in the shaping of our
own attitudes.
Those reporters chosen for the
work by their publishers would,
presumably. receive the assign
ment as an award for exceptional
merit With their two-year span
of duty completed. they could then
be regarded as part of a Foreign
Service Auxiliary or Reserve "a
body of able advisers who have
intimately known the peoples
of other lands.
The matter of salaries, however,
presents problem. Some news
papermen point out that the sal
aries the State Department could
pay - salaries determined by law
- would in many cases be less
than those paid by the papers.
This may be so.

May Increase Salaries

Bur there is a possible solution:
that the publishers may wish to
underwrite the difference, on the
basis that by such expenditures
they would be adding to the long
range effectiveness and ability of
their staffs. That. of course, re-
mains for the publishers them
selves to decide. 1t is merely pos
sibility. Further, there is every
hope that Congress may decide. in
the not-too-distant future, to in
crease the salaries of our foreign
service officers, many of whom are
now grievously underpaid.
