Three of its top ofiicers-.Mr. Buse,
Honorary President Harold Christie
fel and Vice President Joseph DOM
beck-have been discharged by the
company.
House Labor Inquiry.
In addition, House Labor Sub
committee has completed an investi-
cation into charges that Mr.. Buse
and Mr.. Christoffel committed per-
Jury in testifying before the full
committee that they were not Com
munists.
Louis Budenz, former Communist
leader, participated the inquiry by
testifying that Mr.. BuSe and MI.
Christoffel were Communists.
Mr.. Christoffel led 1941 strike
at the plant and Mr.. Budenz said
he called the strike at the request
of the Communist Party.
May Lose Bargaining Rights.
Local 248 also is confronted with
the possibility of losing its bargain
ing rights. The CIO union won two
vote majority in January rs elec-
ton but II ballots were challenged
and a temporary injunction pre-
venting the Wisconsin Employment
Relations Board from counting
them was issued.
In Circuit Court Saturday, Judge
August E. Braun denied the locals
motion that the temporary restrain
ing order be made permanent.
If contested ballots are found to
be against the CIO local its majority
would be reversed. A runoff elec-
ton then would follow.
Picket-line violence had involved
as many as 1000 persons. Out
breaks hit a peak last December 3
when 81 persons were arrested, 2o
police and scores of others were in
jured and four automobiles were
overturned.
Involved Union Feud.
The strike also involved political
feud between top officials OF the
union, International President Wal
ter Reuther and Vice President r. j.
Thomas. Mr.. Thomas was dele
gated to head the union, but Mr..
Reuther appeared at a meeting
aimed at settling the strike.
Mr.. Thomas charged Mr.. Reu-
theirs entrance in the picture only
served to confuse the workers" and
said the international president had
been the victim of a successful
coup"
Strikes also were called at the
company's plants at Laporte, IND;
Norwood, Ohio; Springfield, ILL.,; La
Crosse, Wis; Pittsburgh and Boston.
They were settled earlier.

each day-a rate higher than at the
peak of the war effort, and 80 per
cent more than in 1871. That is an
astonishing performance, in the light
of the postwar shortages and scar
city of materials. But even that
output is insufficient.
So far as reserves of oil are con-
cerned the industry is expanding
them as rapidly as possible. It IS
getting more disable products out
of each barrel of crude than ever
before. It is experimenting to find
new sources of oil, such as the I'M
derwater salt domes off the Gulf
Coast. Concurrently, it is carrying
on an enormous development pro-
gram abroad to make available the
untouched oil resources of the Mid
die East and other regions.
It is the forecast that by 1851
American consumption of oil will
reach 100000 barrels a day. The
industry is preparing to meet that
need.

FATR RETURN FOR RAILROADS

The railroads petition to the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
rate increases which will permit
them to earn about 6.per cent OF
their property investment, is solidly
supported by past policies Of Cong
ress and decisions of the United
States courts.
In 1920, Congress passed the
Transportation Act, which directed
the ice to fix the level of a fair
return" for the industry. The Com
mission established this fair return
at 6 per cent for two years, then
reduced it to 5-A per cent. There
il remained until passage of the
Emergency Railroad Transportation
Act of 1888.
The United States Supreme Court
has twice declared. in precedent
making decision, that 6 per cent
is a fair return for a public service
corporation. The Federal Power
Commission has made similar deci-
sions in the electric utility field.
In the face of all this, the rail
roads earnings, even in periods of
extremely high traffic, have been
only about 3 per cent on their prop
erty valuation. And that figure is
not reached by arbitrarily initiating
the worth of the railroads proper
ties. The ICC, in June, 1916. tenta-
lively valued the lines at $l9,57l, -
100000 The railroads believe this
is ultra conservative, and think that
the industry's worth at the begin
ming of l945 was more than $23,
000,OO0,000 Regardless of which
figure is accepted, the present and
past earning power of the industry
has been far below any reasonable
return-due to inadequate rates in
the face of rising costs.
Solvent, progressive railroads are
a must to the whole United
States economy. Our railroads give
the best service in the world, and
at the lowest cost. They pay the
highest wages and taxes. The whole
free enterprise system, for agri-
culture and industry, depends upon
them. They should be given the
fair return which they now ask
with a minimum of delay

Discussion of other ways of raising

tered on the possibility Of enacting
a per cent sales tax to raise
sac, 000, 600 needed to balance the
1859 budget.
Also mentioned as q possible new
source of revenue was a or cent
tax on cigarettes. Representatives
of State tobacco sales interests
called on fiscal officials to advise
them they would not oppose such a
tax.
Lawrence B. Fenneman, attorney
for the wholesale tobacco dealers of
Maryland and the Retail Tobacco
Dealers Association, said a 2-cent
tax on cigarettes would net the
State between $4,000, 600 and 81 ,000,-
600 and a Scent levy would produce
about 100000.
A. cigarette tax, plus levies on
amusements and other luxury items,
would raise the needed amount
without resort to the sales tax, a
fiscal officer said.
