Major SteelyIf /
 Strike Threatens
PITTSBURGH, (R) - Stickers

PITTSBURGH, (PD - StickerS proclaiming mo contract, no work" are appearing on steel workers automobiles these days and few have even been plaster ed in the united steelworkers of ficeS Irresponsible portent of a major steel strike after April 30.
 That's the expiration date of the present contract extension between tLc CIO union and the United States Steel Corp. The original pact ran out Feb. Is but was eX- tended by mutual agreement.
 The steelworkers, who have given no official blessing to the sticHer campaign, explained the seals were brought here earlier in ,lc. week by Chicago members of the steelWorkers' committee nego- .iating new wage co: tract with pig Steel.'
 The seals, borrowing a line often used by the nations miners, read simply: "Deadline April 30 - No contract-No work.
 An official pronouncement on the negotiation with U. s. Steel and other steel markers will be forthcoming next Monday through the Unions wage and policy com mittee which will ratify proposals made by the executive committee Saturday and Sunday.

Law Would Have Stopped Wallace

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Elmer Thomas D.-Okla.), said to- day that if Congress had followed his advice and had adopted legisla- tion he proposed, Henry A Wal lace would have been kept lat home" The bill by Thomas, which has not been acted upon, would bar immigration except to those coming to the United States strictly for business purposes and would prohibit citizens of this country from going abroad except for important business reasons.
 These reasons would be passed upon by the state department be- fore a pass port was issued.
 Wallace has been criticized for statements made in England in op- position to President Truman's proposal to aid Greece and Turkey.

ing Of the egg lies In the posi-
bility that the Congress may still
forbid the sale Of these pipe lines
for gas at any price. One Of the
criticisms Of the rejection of the
original bids was that Gen. Little
John was running an unnecessary
risk in not accepting the highest
and best original bid.
This danger cannot be dismissed
even today. Congress Is in session
and the coal operators, the miners,
the coal-carrying railroads and the
private utilities, all Of which have
a powerful influence on the Hill,
are no less averse to the competi-
ton Of natural gas than they have
been.
The second highest bid was by
the Tennessee Gas &, transmits
sion Co. This was offered despite
the impression conveyed by its
president when he appeared before
the Slaughter Committee that al
though his company did seek the
temporary lease of the lines, it
would not bid for the purchase
of the lines.
In any event, the sale of the lines
to the Tennessee Gas & Trans
mission Co. would have been in
plain violation of the antitrust
laws because the Big and Little
Big Inch pipe lines are the only pos
sible competitor of the Tennessee
company.
(Copyrisht, 1947)

were used for oil or not.
Confronted by these and other un-
comfortable facts, the general had
two alternatives. He could accept
the highest original bid (for gas
transportation, thus admitting that
his judgment had been bad all
along: or he could throw out all
bids and demand new ones, and so
give the people a chance to for
get what 1t was all about.
Placed His Faith in Hope.
These were the circumstances In
which the general exercised his
much-vaunted judgment. The fact
Is that he placed his faith in hope.
Later, the grinding of the wheels of
fate resulted in a bid of $143, ,000, 900.
Certain economic factors added to
the value of these pipe lines for gas
transportation. The principal of
these was John L. Lewis and his
series of coal strikes. The price of
heating oil began to edge toward
higher levels, so that gas and coal
and fuel oil became more competi-
tive than they had been.
A moral factor also was involved.
The people sensed that the use of
these pipe lines for gas might be one
Evening star., 1947-02-17

way to put an end to the constant
Interruptions in the production OF
coal without having to give John
L. Lewis the White House with a
little red fence around it. Thus the
actual facts bore little resemblance
| to those which had led Gen. Little
john to decide to reject all bids.
The original cost of the Big and
Little Big Inch was $146, ,000, 900. Less
depreciation, they are today worth
$121 ,0O0, 900. It will cost an addi-
tional $40,000,00 to recondition the
lines. SO If Gen. Littlejohn can
collect the $143,000,0o0 that has
been bid, we will come out with a
substantial profit-and a particu-
larly gratifying one, because when
it was proposed to build the lines
much of the opposition was based on
the "fact" that the lines would have
mo value" after the war.
However, Gen. Littlejohn's egg Is
still under the hen and he would do
well not to count it as chicken
Just now. The Federal Power Com
mission has to pass upon the reason
ahleness of the rates at which the
gas may be sold and it Is likely to
ask some embarrassing questions.
Consumers Would Pay In End.
If the bidders are to make per
cent on the investment of $143,000,-
900, plus the cost of reconditioning,
it would mean a cost of just under
80 cents per 1000 cubic feet to its
lowest-paying customers, with some
80 or SO cents charged for the same
unit in New York City. Naturally, all
that the promoters are interested in
is their 6 per cent. So why should
they worry about high capitaliza-
tion if the consumers will pay In the
end, anyhow, while permitting the
promoters to earn a big return in
the meantime? A ruling on the
sale must also be received from the
Department Of Justice.

eyes. There, as Big as life, on its
black sides was McLemore in pure
gold paint. I saw it in the station
at Washington, and. speaking of the
station at Washington, isn't it nice
to be able to get off there without
being run over by fat colonies with
brief cases and flight pay? Many o1
us still bear wounds from being
bumped by overweight brass, carry
ing "secret" documents from the
PIX to the Pentagon.
Offers Advice on Operation.
But to get back to McLemore, the
Pullman car. If it was named after
me-and by now am sure that 1t
was, and am beginning to get sore
because il wasn't given the works
and named Henry T. McLemore-it
it was named after me, I think !
have the right to advise its owners
on how it should be operated. II
it is going to tear around this coun-
try bearing my name, I want it to
be little different from other Pull
mans.
Right off, T want the porter in
charge of the car told that he is to
awaken sleepers just two hours be-
fore they reach their destination
not four. The average Pullman por-
ter is so industrious, and so heppeo
on neatness, that he just can't wait
to get the berths made up, and the
car cleaned, so he can change his
cap for a felt hat and be the first
one off at the end of the run.
The last time I took the trair
to New York, the porter shook tht
green curtain at me, ratified my
mattress, and pinched me a couple
Of times. T dressed feverishly, figur'
ing we were in Pennsylvania Sta
ton, but 1t was only Raleigh, N. G.
Wants to Change Seats.
A man really has to have grea
resources within himself to know
how to put in his time from tht
time he finishes dressing until HI
reaches his destination. You art
not wanted in the mems room onc'
you are dressed, because you are II
the way. There are only about two
berths made up in the Pullman
and they are always filled to over
flowing with ladies who are dis
cussing how they slept the previous
night and whether they usual,
sleep well on trains. The dine
never is open at this hour, so ther'
is nothing left to do but stand IL
the vestibule, flattening yoursel
against the wall every second or tw'
to let some one squeeze by.
I want to change the seats OF
Pullman car McLemore. The maj
who designed Pullman cars fixed 1
so that luggage will get under tn
seat, but only if you and the porte
and the brakeman get down o.
hands and knees and force it.
T want to see to it that Pullman
McLemore is not always the las
car of the train. No one ever go
a Pullman that was close to tn
station. And no one ever met visit
ors who didn't get off a car tina
was two blocks away, requiring
hazardous trip across the roadbe'
tc welcome them.
The conductor who handles Pull
man McLemore, If I have my say
will be available, and not alway
tucked away in dimly lighted com
partment, putting little figures OF
paper and shooting the breeze will
the fagman.
The next time you take an over
night trip, ask to get space on Pull
man McLemore. My guess Is tina
it will be just like all other cars.
