Building Wages
Cited in Plea for
Transit PayRise
Drivers Get No More
Thon Common Labor,
Union Spokesman Says

Washington streetcar and bus
operators now receive the same
hourly rate-$l 20-as common
iaborers In the building trades, Eli
L. Oliver, union spokesman, de-
clared today at an arbitration hear
ing on the unions demand for q
35-per-cent pay increase for some
1000 Capital Transit Co. employees.
In closing the unions case before
three arbitrators in the Raleigh
Hotel, Mr.. Oliver argued that the
company's financial returns should
not be linked directly to the work.
ers' wage demands.
Cross-examination by Capital
Transit counsel was to follow. and
the company was not expected to
begin its main presentation until
tomorrow.
Labor Statistics Cited.
Mr.. Oliver cited Labor Depart
ment information showing an in.
crease of 6 per cent in the wholesale
price level between last July Is and
September IS. A further 7-per-cent
rise in the living cost may result If
wholesale prices continue to rise and
are passed on to retailers, he in
sisted.
This condition already may pre-
vail without being recorded because
OF a lag in compiling Labor De-
partment figures, he suggested.
Concerning wages in the BUILDING
trades, Mr.. Oliver pointed out that
carpenters get as high as $2.05 an
hour, with other wages in the field
ranging downward to the $1.20 q
hour paid to common laborers.
The skill Of Capital Transit en-
ployes Is as great, If not greater, than
that Of building trades workers. he
said, adding that the Labor Depart
ment classed streetcar operators, bus
drivers and conductors as skilled
workers.
Express Pay Raise Noted.
Railway Express Agency drivers
recently received pay raise sending
their rate to $780, an hour, Mr..
Oliver told the board.
He placed in evidence excerpts
from transit wage arbitration awards
elsewhere in the Nation in seeking to
show the rising cost of living was a
factor in the decisions.
The current hearing is aimed at
fixing wage rates to replace those
established by a contract which ex-
pired last June 30.
"The Capital Transit Co. is at
tempting to create the illusion of
desperate poverty, N" Mr.. Oliver de-
clared.
In making an opening statement
for the company last week, E. D.
Merrill, president. asked the board
to halt an inflationary spiral. He
pointed out the company had been
granted fare increase recently
because it was running in the red.

Miracles like hybrid corn seldom happen by

80 years of patient research. 1t cost federal and

more than $3.50, OOO, 900 to farm income. Thanks
to research, we now have such chemicals as DDT.

livestock producers many extra millions through
increased production of meat and milk from fly

for every pound of DOT used. What a return on a

Size of Business

Rhode Island State College

A farm business should be large emo
to pay operating costs, interest on
investment, and family living expen
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1947-11-27

y investment, ana Idm1ly living expenses.
j.. L. Tenant A southern New England dairy farm, for
example, should have at least 10 cows per man; apoul-
try farm, 1900 layers; market-garden farm, 10 acres;
a potato farm, 40 acres; and an apple farm, 20 acres.
Doing more business with the same capital invest
ment is one way to lower costs and higher profits.
With the larger business, the operator can spend more
of his time at productive work. For example, workers
on a dairy farm with 9 to 10 cows per man will be
just as busy as on a farm with Is to 10 cows per man.
The gross sales and net income on the larger opera
ton will be much higher because more of the time is
used in producing milk. Reducing costs per unit puts
the farm operator in a stronger competitive position.
If more crop land cannot be bought, perhaps it can
be rented. Another plan is to check means by which
crop production on present acreage can be increased.
Ways to do this include: the use of lime and fertilizer;
winter cover crops; higher yielding varieties; double
cropping; drainage and terracing.
Another step toward efficiency is to install modern
equipment which enables one person to produce more
per hour. Overhead costs per unit of product can be
lowered when each machine is used ~pro6tably for as
many hours as possible.

A CeniraIia Miners
Could Have Saved
Selves, Officials Say
BY N. A..eeie,sd Press

Forty-four of the Ill men killed
in the Centralia tIn0 coal mine
March as could have saved Them
selves after the blast If they had
known how, according to the Bu-
reau Of Mines.
A 47-page report prepared by in
spectors from the bureaus Office at
Vincennes, Ind, said:
Evidence obtained during the
recovery operations indicated that
A men working In two sections of
the mine, not affected by the flame
or violence of the explosion, could
have saved themselves II they had
had a knowledge Of the prin-
ciples Of erecting barricades after
explosions"
The report said:
Representatives of the United
States Bureau Of Mines who in
vestigated the disaster are Of the
opinion that the explosion orig
mated at the face of one west entry,
that it was strictly a coal dust
explosion which was propagated by
coal dust throughout four working
sections Of mine, and that the coal
dust was raised into the air and
ignited by explosives fired In q
dangerous and . non-permissible
manner"
The report said IS Of the miners
were killed by burns and violence
and 46 by afterdamp, the accumula-
tion Of carbon monoxide following
the explosion.
The inspectors provided this sum-
mary:
l. The mine was dry and dusty
and there were heavy deposits OF
fine coal dust on the roof, ribs, floor
and timbers Of all active working
sections.
Q. Rock dust had not been applied
in rooms, nor In entries for q con-
siderable distance back from the
working faces.
3. Methane in an appreciable
amount was not found during re-
coyery operations and only a very
small quantity of methane was
found In air samples. No evidence
was found that methane was in
volved.
4. Permissible explosives we're be-
ing fired in a nonpermissible man
ner with caps and fuse and coal dust
was being used for stemming.
THE outstanding lesson to be
learned from this disaster" the re-
port said, "is that mines which lib
crate little or no methane are not
immune from widespread explosions
II dry and dusty conditions exist"
