THEY MOBBED ME
BY T. ELLIS

A letter recalls an incident in
the heart of China's famine field,
in 1906-07, when a crowd of work
men overwhelmed me because I
had been seen giving out money.
They meant no harm, but they
had nearly borne me down when
/ scattered them by flinging a
handful of coppers over their
heads.
Perhaps the trivial happening
carries the timely suggestion that
all the restless, agitated masses
which are creating commotions in
many parts Of the world really
mean no harm to anybody. but
are blindly rushing toward relief
and remedy OF their deep needs.
Is it not the Christian and com
passionate attitude to ponder what
these .malcontents really seek?
Hunger should be satisfied, clear
human rights should be granted.
but. above all, a spirit OF sym
pathy and understanding should.
be maintained.
Amidst all the ominous STRINGS
of our times, great Father of
mankind, we would seek 10
achieve Thy viewpoint and to do
Thy will. Amen.

Since 1889, railroad employees have
had three general pay raises totaling
526Ho%, and the prices of fuel, ma
terials and supplies have risen 61HoT.
But when the war ended in 1945,
the railroads were still hauling freight
at rates no higher, and in some cases
IOuer, than when the war began.
Without increased revenues, railroads
could not meet these costs and also
provide improvements in equipment
and facilities es-improvements that are
essential for the low-cost freight and
passenger services which are necessary
to Americas high standard of living.
Under these circumstances-and al
most year after the last major wage
increase - the Interstate Commerce
Commission recently approved an
average increase in freight rates Of

Labor Unions To Hold Elections

JUNEAU, (P)-Territorial labor commissioner Henry Benson Tues day announced the following schedule of bargaining right cleo tions to settle an AFL-CIO juris- dictional dispute which partially ties up operations at Cook Inlet.
 Seldovia, June 14-15; Port Gra- ham, June Is; Kaslof, June 18; Kenai, June 19; Anchorage, June 21-22.
 The tieup is only partially effec- tive now inasmuch as the AFL union permits members to deliver King salmon to any buyer willing to pay $2 fish.
 Benson also announced settle ment of the dispute at the Evan Jones coal mine at Jonesville. Workers received a 10 per cent raise bringing hourly wages to $1.55.
 A contract between the retail clerks union and Anchorage busi- ness men brought the clerks $10 weekly increase with a six day week. The minimum weekly sal ary now is $85.
