) Unions Block Labor PeaCe-Refuse Wage Boost
Already Accepted by 19 Other Railroad Unions!

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Englnemen and the Switchmen's
Union of North America, representing
125,0O0 railroad employees, have refused
to accept the offer of the Railroads of a
wage increase of 1871 cents an hour.
lhls IS the same increase awarded
O,O00 incorporating employees by an
arbitration board in September, 1947.
1hls Is the same increase accepted by
175,OO0 conductors, trainmen and switch
men by agreement on November ii, 1947.
Agreements have been made with
1,l75,OOO employees, represented by nine
teen unions. But these three unions, rep
resenting only 125, 900 men, are trying to
get more. They are demanding also many
new working rules not embraced in the
settlement with the conductors and train
men.
Incidentally, the Switchmen's Union of
North America represents only about 7%
of all railroad switchmen, the other 93%
being represented by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and covered by the
settlement with that union.
Strike Threat
The leaders of these three unions spread a
strike ballot while negotiations were still
in progress. This il not secret vote but ia
taken by union leaders and votes are
signed by the employees IN the presence
OF union representatives.
When direct negotiations failed, the
leaders of these three unions refused to
join the railroads in asking the National
Mediation Board to attempt to settle the
dispute, but the Board took jurisdiction
at the request of the carriers and has been
earnestly attempting since November "a,
l947, to bring about q settlement The
Board on January Is, 1948, announced
its inability to reach a mediation settle
ment. The leaders of the unions rejected
the request of the Mediation Board TO
arbitrate. The railroads accepted.

What NoU?

The Unions having refused to arbitrate.
the Railway Labor Act provides for the
appointment of fact-fnding board by
the President.
The railroads feel it is due shippers,
passengers, employees, stockholders, and
the general public to know that through
out these negotiations and in mediation,
they have not only exerted every effort to
reach fair and reasonable settlement.
but they have also met every requirement
OF the Railway Labor Act respecting the
negotiation, mediation, and arbitration of
labor disputes.

employees, and those among the highest paid,
can successfully maintain the threat of par
aiyzing strike against the interest of the en-
tire country-and against so per cent of their
fellow employees.
The threat of strike cannot justify grant,
ing more favorable conditions to 1850 en-
ployes than have already been put in effect
for I,175,O0O, nor will it alter the opposition
OF the railroads to unwarranted wage in
creases or to changes in working rules which
are not justified.

Kent and Justin Klingler over to-

distinction of being among the dis

checked up the other day at the
close of the season and counted

being coon weighing 25 pounds.
On their forays they are invariably
accompanied by their four coon
hounds, all registered thorobred black

With a continuation of winter
weather, Bluffton's bird feeding pro-

club is being continued. Sacks of
feed will be placed in the Bluffton

birds during this season when their
usual feeding grounds are covered
with snow.
A variation from the snow and
winter picture in Blufton is word
of a devastating California drought
which comes from Edgar Neuensch-
wander, former Bluffton photogra-
pher, now living in Los Angeles. Be
cause of the deficient rainfall, it is
costing the citrus fruit growers
thousands of dollars extra to irri-
gate their lands. The drought is
termed by observers the worst in 70
years. For 81 days no rain has
fallen in the great crop-producing
San Joaquin valley, the longest con-
tinuous dry spell on record. Because
of additional demands for irrigation
conservation dams are low and in
Santa Clara county five reservoirs
are empty.

California Gets Welcome Rain

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-Week end rains refreshed California's drought parched lands but the power shortage remained critical.
 A spokesman for the Pacific Gas & Electric Co.,, said "the power shortage was not solved" by rains totaling an inch or so in much of the state.
 The only tangible result was a temporary slight decrease in use of electricity for irrigation pump ing, he explained.
 The state went on daylight sav- ing time yesterday to save power.
 The rains, welcomed by agricul- turists, were insufficient. They said at least two inches are need ed to soak the soil.

TOKYO, (P) - Japanese were both bewildered and surprised to- day over the first criticism of Gen eral MacArthur to appear in their newspapers.
 Adverse as well as favorable comments on MacArthur's willing ness to run for President have ap- peared in all Tokyo newspapers in dispatches from the United States and Russia. This followed the Su- preme commanders relaxation Of censorship by his staff of all American political atta k " against him. The press still is not permitted to criticize him as occu- patton commander, however.
 "MacArthur is showing us now how democracy works" a radio shopkeeper told a reporter. We Japanese got so we considered him a demi- god. But that is not right. This acceptance of criticism by leaders is one reason why democ- racy is strong"

Tn the matter of the Alas ka Native service school building which is at present idle, C. C. Tanner, city attorney, advised the Council to get permission from Don Foster, head of the ANS in Juneau, before anything is done with the building
 A resolution was passed to re- quest Governor Gruening's assist ance in securing emergency funds, and to assist in getting equipment from Army Surplus in Seattle, for Nome's hospital.
 Carl Glavinovich, who was ap- pointed supervisor in charge of the rehabilitation of the ANS build ing, stated that the estimated cost of putting the building basically in shape for occupancy by the Mission Board which operated the hospital prior to the fire last Thursday night, would be approx imately $500 for materials with labor additional, Cmost of which will be donated.
 1t was reported at the meeting that the Non-Commissioned Off, cers Club at the Nome Airbase has offered 5000 from their funds for the local hospital fund, and the American Legion of Nome are turning the proceeds of a dance given tonight also to the fund.

Natures Children
Mace From Grenada.
By lillion Cox AtheY

Mace, the delicate flavor so ap-
preciated in candies, cake and egg
nog. was once the pink robe of
nutmegs. Expert workers use their
to sever it from its point
of attachment. Then the mace is
dried and stored in large, round
baskets, where it must be kept
covered all the time. ,,.-
Here is an industry that pays well.
Uncle Sam takes three-fourths of
all the mace produced in Grenada,
while Canada imports the remainder.
When the nutmeg ripens it turns
from a glossy walnut color, to a
brilliant shade of red. From a dis
tance the rosy-hued fruit resembles
blossoms. Wayfarers passing by a
nutmeg grove exclaim over the
beauty of each tree. AS the yellow
plumlike pods ripen and split the
released nuts drop to the ground
their vivid red glowing contrast
to the rich, black soil upon which
they have come to rest.
Nutmegs must not be permitted to
lie in water, as they lose their color
and spicy flavor An army of har-
vesters, with their burlap bags made
of wild banana plants, arrive early
each morning to collect the fallen
nutmegs and hurry them to the
sheds known as boucans, where
baskets and trays are piled high
with the harvest.
These nutmegs can be stored for
an almost indefinite period, though
they are subject to attacks Of the
mace beetle.
When first cured, mace is brittle
and a dark red color, resembling
dried beef. Within three weeks the
hue has changed to that of a dried
fig, turning gradually to flint color.
In this last stage it is sent to the
market. To reduce the mace to
powder the slabs are placed in a
large oscillating sieve. The small,
clear pieces of mace are graded by
experienced workers.
Good cooks ever on the alert for
delicate f1avors see to it that their
spice cupboard contains at least one
can of mace.
