PREKOCELINSKA ZELEZNICA
V SEVERNI AMERIkI

V casu prvih vlakov in kali
fornijske zlate mrzlice je zivel
ameriski senator "a zvezno drza-
vo Missouri, Thomas Hart Ben
ton. Mnogim ljudem Sc je zdel
sanjac in zanesenjak, ko Sc je
boril "a stvar, XII sc nam danes
dozdeva sama oh sebi razumlji-
va. Boril Sc je "a prekocelinsko
zeleznico-od Chicago in St.
Louisa pa do Pacifika. V svoji
daljnovidnosti je predvidel, da
bodo nekoc zeleznice tickle cd
obale do obale in vezale morja.
Senator Benton je ma nekem
zborovanju v St. Louisa leta
1849 priporocal gradnjo zelezni-
&C, XII bi tekla preko vse ameri-
ske celine. Toda dvajset let je
preteklo cd tega govora pa do
dne, ko je bila zgrajena prva ze-
leznica, XII je spajala dive obali.
zeleznica je bila vazno poglav-
je resitvi vprasanja prevozov
in prometa med vzhodno in "a
padno obalo ter so ga re zaceli
resevati okoli 1. 1880. Americani
so kmalu spoznali veliko vaznost
prvih zeleznic, XII so spajale reke
in kanale ter so jih podaljsevali
in med seboj povezali, da so spa
jale vedno bolj oddaljene kraje.
Mile zeleznic so rastle kakor
gobe po dezju. Kakor artrije v
cloveskem telesu, tako so zelez-
nice prodrle vsak koticek ame-
riskega telesa med Atlantskim
oceanom in reko Mississippi. To-
da ma zeleznico, XII bi vezala
Atlantski ocean z obalo San
Francisca-na zvezo, XII Sc je
ljudem tedaj dozdevala nepoj-
mljiva-so Sc vedno cakali.
Bentonovo prizadevanje "a
zgraditev prekocelinske zelezni-
ce je v stiridesetih letih 18. sto-
letja podkrepila narascajoca tr-
govina z zapadom. Odkritje zla-
ia v Kaliforniji leta 1848 je dalo
Sc vecji zalet. Toda z gradnjo so
zaceli sele leta 1862. Prvi del so
gradili cd Pacifiske obale proti
vzhodu drugega pa cd Nebraska
proti zahodu. Pot je vodila preko
CORA, puscav in rex. Najprej sc
je vzpenjala po strmih pobocjih
Sierre Nevade, katere grebeni sc
dvigajo milo in pol mad morsko
gladino. Vcasih so jo morali
graditi ma skalovitem pobocju
mad prepadom, vcasih je dodge
mile tracnic pokrivala debela
blast snega in ledu ter zemlje,
XII so jo plazovi prinesli z CORA.
Yes trud je bill zaman in znova
so morali zaceti delom.
zeleznica je rastla milo "a
milo cd Omahe v Nebraska pro-
ii zahodu ter cd Sacramento v
Kaliforniji proti vzhodu. Kitaj-
ski delavci so kopali skupno z

The union times., 1947-10-25

Recognition that community agen- cleS exist to serve all the people, and that trade union members should use and support these agencies fully and adequately.
 Full participation by union mem bers in these health and welfare programs makes for good public relatiOns-trade unions need the friends who can be gained in this neutral field of mutual interest.
 Chests and Councils need the view point and the intimate knowledge of the problems of working people which can only be brought into their delib- erations by representatives of labor.
 LOCAL LABOR ACTION
 According to local AFL officials, the Greater New Haven AFL Council is already actively affiliated with a Chest and Council Labor Participation Committee here which is instrumental in working out a close partnership between social agencies and organized labor.
 Representatives of local AFL groups who are active with this committee include: Vincent J. Me Govern, AFL Council president, Nathan Sherman, William P. En- right, Harry l.. Benson, William Barry, Mrs Rose Brunswick, John M. Dillon, Joseph J. Eagan, Stan- ley Greising, John A. Johnson, Saul

T-H Affidavits Signed By , CIO A AFL Unions

Washington (LPAl-A total of 8,2O8 anti-Communist affidavits were filed under the Taft-Hartley law be- tween Aug. g, when the law became effective, and Sept. 30, the Natl Labor Relations Board announced last week.
 Of this total, 4,784 were filed by AFL officers, including 4,l7O by local union officials, and GA by international officials.
 In comparison, 184 CIO officers signed the ahidavits, of whom 151 were local officials, and B national officials. AAidavits from independent union officials tota1ed 3,240 with 3165 signed by local officials and 75 by national leaders.
 Only five of the CLOS international unions filed, while A AFL organiza- tlons entered the statements. Fourteen independent unions were listed.
 The NLRB also reported that 72 unfair labor practice complaints were filed against unions in the period. FOrty-twO of these were entered by employers and employer associations, and 30 by independent unions. None was filed by either AFL or CIO. Nineteen AFL unions and six CIO groups were cited on secondary boycott charges. Elm plOyers were charged with unfair labor practices in 335 cases, 3O5 of which were filed by individuals, IS by independent unions, II by the AFL, and four by the CIO.

Labor Swamped
 On Rent Boards By Businessmen

Washington (LPA) La b orr $ charges ill dozens of cities turnout the country that local rent control boards are heavily packed against labor and loW-income renters were given final confirmation here last week.
 An analysis of more than l7O local boards showed that business men, real estate men, lawyers and bankers virtually swamp labor representation. Out of l,O3O mem bers on 179 boards listed in one study, 2lO were businessmen, lO7 real estate men, 57 labor spOkes- men, 54 bankers, 5l lawyers, 27 insurance men, and other groups in diminishing numbers. A total of 325 unclassified, giving no indica- ton of what group they repre- sented.
 Another breakdown of the figures showed that 20%o are businessmen, 119o in the real estate business, 5% labor spokesmen. Twenty-one percent were found to be insurance men, pro fessionals and miscellaneous, while the "unclassifed" group totaled 329o.
 Meanwhile the Natl Association of Real Estate Boards announced that it would renew its campaign to wipe all rent controls out of ex- istence. The NAREB, indicted two months ago for criminal conspiracy to jack up rents, found encourage ment in the go increase granted in the Louisville area last week. The NAREB also declared war on any federally financed housing program in the next session of Congress, while study of housing prices in 2l principal cities made by United Industrial Associates here showed that prices had increased more than double since 1889.

Labor s Part In
 Chest Activity "Blueprinted"

A blueprint" for organized labor action in the Community Chest move ment was charted recently by Reg Kennedy, A.F.L. staff representative to the newly-organized Labor-Em- ployee Participation department of national Community Chests and Coun- cils, Inc.
 In the Greater New Haven area officials of the $83l,OOO Chest campaign lauded the cooperative action taken by the AFL in promot- ing the fund-raising effort for the 30 local Red Feather services.
 Writing ill the Connecticut Fedora tion1St, Kennedy pointed to the or ganization of the Labor-Emp1oyee Participation department as recogni- tion by the national Chest body of "the important influence that organ ized labor would have in voluntary health and welfare work.
 OUR RESPONSIBILITY
 Calling upon organized labor mem berS to accept their responsibilities for community service, he outlined four major points which the national Chest labor department will emphasize. These include:
 The responsibility of trade union members to take their proper place with other community groups in plan ming, developing, and supporting com munity health and welfare programs.

AFL Takes Firm Stand Favoriing Strong FEPC Act

SAN FRANCISCO = CPD = A firm stand in behalf of fair employ. ment practice legislation was taken by the AFL's Goth convention here after Pres. A. Philip Randolph of the Bro. of Sleeping Car Porters pressed for removal of certain reser. vatiOns noted by the federation.
 The executive council initial1y de- clared that while fair employment laws are highly advisable. it was in- advisable to permit government regu- lation of discrimination within unions.
 Randolph, asserting he wanted the public to know the AFL "has not equivocated i'll the least on this issue, urged elimination of the qualifying phrase. He pointed out that the AFL had sponsored and supported the FEPC in New York and was thus al- ready on record in favor of such legis- lation.
 Conforming those who attempt to brand the law as "COmmunistic''. he told the convention that organ ized labor, which is itself often the object of intolerance. must ''ight intolerance, bigOtry and racial hatred wherever it manifests itseIf.''
 He also emphasized that such law was important to the moral author ity" of US. foreign policy since more than two-thirds of the people of the world are people of color"
 Accepting his criticism, the AFL voted to support the legislation.
