For sheer feather-bedding, this mock
work proposal takes the cake. But it
is only one of A rules" demands filed
by the leaders of the operating unions.
If all these demands were granted,
they would cost the railroads an added
BILLION DOLLARS YEAR.
Increased Wages, Too
On top of these "rules" changes, the
leaders of the operating unions have
filed an additional demand for a wage
increase of over 80 per cent. If granted,
this would be an added cost to the rail
roads of $4O0, 10000 a year.
$46S, 100000 To Nom Operating
Employees
In addition to this, an Arbitration
Board has just granted a wage in
crease of 151z cents an hour to the mil
lion employees represented by the IL
incorporating unions. This will cost
the railroads sass, ,0OO, 900 year.

Railroads Do Not Run For
Employees Alone
Railroads are operated for the benefit
of not one, but several groups-ship-
pers, passengers, employees, stock
holders, and the general public. The
interest of all must be served-and
that cannot be done unless the rail-
roads can operate efficiently and eco
nomically, and unless they are allowed
to earn sufficient revenue to provide
the kind of transportation service this
country MUST HAVE.

Where Will The Money Come From?
Where will all the money come from
to pay these increases? They total sew
eral times as much as the railroads
made in 1916 or will make in 1947.
In July, the railroads fled an appi-
cation for increased freight rates to
close the gap which then existed be-
tween wage and material costs, and
railroad revenues. Since then it has
been necessary, because of further in
creases in wages and material costs,
to supplement that petition and to
ask for an additional freight rate

Two japanese Deny 5 6Is
In Terror Case Were Drunk
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, April 1.-Two prosecu-
ton witnesses testified at the court
martial of five American soldiers
today that the defendants were not
intoxicated the night they are
charged with terrorizing the high
ways west Of Tokyo.
The five soldiers-Corpl. Willard
L. Grooms, Seaman, Ohio; Pfc.
Rusey w. Harper, Stab, KY; Pvt
Edward w. Smith, Savannah, Ga;
Pfc. Carl Havalda, Owosso, Mich,
and Corpl. George e. Craig, VIM
chester, Ohio - are charged with
fatally beating five Japanese, injur-
ing others and wrecking hotel and
private property.
Ryoji Hasegawa. manager OF an
inn on the highway where the beat
ings occurred, testified that the
soldiers who came to his hotel
looked excited and had dirty faces
but "they weren't drunk" Shiro
Takahashi, owner Of the inn, gave
the same testimony.
The soldiers smashed 10 windows

movement. The Interior Depart
ment estimated that coal produc-
ton yesterday was about 40 per cent
of normal.
The evidence was that many Of
the miners were not following Mr..
| Lewis suggestion, that only two
mines of the 1881 held by the Gov
ernment could be worked until re-
examined and certified as conform
ing with the safety code by Federal
inspectors. Federal coal officials
said only about 40 pits had been re-
inspected since Saturday, but the
| United Mine Workers had returned
to between 800 and TOO mines.
Situation Is Watched.
Meanwhile, the Justice Depart
ment watched the situation closely,
pending appearance Of Mr.. Lewis
or his attorneys before Justice T..
Alan Goldsborough in District Court
tomorrow in an effort to get back
81, SOC, 900 of the $3,500,000 fine the
court levied on the UNIV last De-
cember for ignoring no-strike
order. The injunction against a
strike still hangs over the head Of
Mr.. Lewis and the union.
Top Government officials have
said Justice Goldsborough will be
asked to withhold action on the re-
turn of the huge sum, representing
the difference between Justice
Goldsborough's contempt penalty
and the 100000 the Supreme Court
assessed. That request will be
made of the court if the work sit
uation in the coal fields is still con-
fused.
Mr.. Lewis telegram advised union
district presidents to see to it that
production is resumed "at each mine
as fast as 1t is certified by Federal
mine inspectors as being in con-
forrnity with the Federal Mine
Safety Code"
Battle Issues Statement.
John d. Battle, executive secretary
of the National Coal Association,
commented:
He is in reality telling his miners
not to return to work until the Fed
eral inspectors have had time to re-
visit all the mines and recertify
them-a matter of weeks or
months"
Mr.. Battle said that union officials
in various districts" are attempting
to prevent the men from returning
to the mines"
Picket lines at some mines have
put in an appearance to force
shutdown" )" he said. The mine work
ers rarely resort to picket lines in
their work stoppages.
Intimidation Charged.
This policy of intimidation Is
being pursued even with respect to
mines where the mine safety conn.,

given full clearance and the mine
operator has complied with the GER

Gen. Marshall, urging that the
broad interests of Europe be con.
sidered in the frontier settlements,

"Only as we inspire the hope of
