Truman publicly Congratulated"
the parties for their settlement.
Under its terms, the three Bro
therhoods-Locomotive Engineers,
Locomotive Firemen & Enginemen,
and Switchmen-agreed to accept
the 151zc an hour increase, retro
active to November /, which a
Presidential Emergency Fact
Finding) Board had previously rec
commended.
But they won some substantial
additional changes in working
rules, beyond those awarded by the
board - which will both increase
the earnings of the 100000 engine
and yard service workers repre-
sented by the three unions, and
correct some Of the inequities and
grievances against which they have
long complained.
These additional rules include,
among others: an extra 15c a day
increase in basic rates for yard
conductors and brakemen; an ini-
tial terminal delay rule, which will
provide extra pay where engineers
and firemen are kept waiting at the
start of their runs; a rule that
crews of trains shall not be tied
up at points where eating and
sleeping accommodations are not
available; an adjustment in rates
of firemen in yard service, and sew
eral other revisions. The increas-
ed earnings accruing from rules
changes are retroactive to Jan. /.
Union officials point out that a
valuable precedent was set in these
negotiations. 1t broke down the eff

WARTIME RAIL RATE
SCANDAL UNEARTHED

Washington (LPA) - Chairman
George Bender (R., Ohio) of a
House subcommittee last week dug
into the story of how railroad big
shots, who put on Army uniforms
''for the DURATION" swindled the
government of freight charges dur
ing World War ii.
James E. Kilday, head of the
Justice Dept transportation anti
trust division told Bender's COM
mittee that he asked for an FBI
investigation of rate-making pro-
cedures, but had been given the
brush off.
Thomas F. Proctor, a Post Office
Dept expert with "a years knowi-
edge, of the transportation indus
try said that the carriers had en-
tered into a conspiracy to rig" the
rates and defraud the government.
He added that they "even persuad-
ed the motor carriers to join them
in rigging rates for the US govern
ment."
Key to the operation was an
eight man negotiating board-four
from the railways, four army Off
GERS. The four army men were rail
officials on leave from their jobs
for war service.
.
Kilday said that "it was a case
of Government personnel dealing
with a thoroughly cartelized indus
try" The government couldfsnot
shop around, and so accepted the
"take it or leave it" estimates of
the railroads.
Another former Justice Dept of
ficial, Frank l.. Barton, charged
that Attorney General Tom Clark
ordered him to stop an investiga-
tion into the situation which he in
itiated in 1945. Clark has been ask
ed for an explanation by the COM

Hartley Confuses
Issue In Probe
OF Store Locals

New 1OTK tLfA) - RGp. FREQ
Hartley (R., N. ]. took a leaf from
the Un-American Activities Com
mittee of Congress last week. He
spent three days asking a series Of
left-wing locals of the Retail,
Wholesale & Dept Store Union,
variations on one question: "Are
you Communist" Each in turn
refused, standing on their rights
under the first and fifth amend
ments of the Constitution. Five
were cited for contempt of Con-
gress.
Hartley is accused by non-Com-
munist unionists in the city with,
first, snarling any attempts they
have under way to "clean up" the
CP-controlled department store To-
Gals, and second giving himself a
"build-up" as a labor relations ex
pert. Hartley is retiring from Con-
gress next January, and has an
nounced he'll set up shop as
consultant for management on how
to deal with unions.
At the last public session of the
week, President Samuel Wolchok,
head of the international union, fin
ally had a chance to assert that SO
per cent of the unions 10000
members are "good Americans. !"
Rep. Charles Kersten (R., Wis.,
assured Wolchok that the House
Labor Committees records did not
show "any substantial Communist
influence in the great bulk of these
international locals"
Wolchok contradicted testimony
by the New York local leaders that
members opposed complying with
the Taft Hartley requirement of
non Communist affidavits by union
officers. The international's 1913 To-
Gals in a referendum early this
year voted 60754 to 3763 to COM
ply with the TIL rules, Wolchok
pointed out.
"This proves conclusively that
the people in our international are
'aw-abiding citizens and not Com
the RWDSE president
told the Congressman, "and that
the international operates for the
benefit of all our citizens, although
some few people in it believe in
Communist doctrines"
Major grievances of the depart
ment store owners, who gave a
week of testimony earlier in Wash
ington, have centered around the
demands of the Department Store
Joint Board of RWDSE for con-
tracts replacing those which expire
Feb. %, 1949. The union is demand
ing reciprocal firing" clause in
all agreements, providing that the
union can demand that a worker
be fired if he endangers the char
mony" of the workers. A similar
clause in the current Blooming
dales' store contract almost result
ed in the firing of three anti-Com-
munist workers at the demand of
the local union last month. The
international union ordered the
three re-instated.
Despite the complaints of the
store owners, however, one more
big store agreed to the reciprocal
firing" clause last week. Hearn's
store has agreed to
such clause provided that disput-
ed cases can go to an impartial
for settlement.

BIS Reports Strikes
Continue At High Level

Washington - The number OF
strikes taking place in May equaled
the 275 recorded for April, the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics reported.
Time lost from these stoppages,
however, was about half of that re-
corded for April, the BIS said. The
largest factors in the reduction
were the determination of the BIZ
luminous coal stoppage in mid
April, and to lesser extent, the
cessation of the meat packing
strike which ended toward the end

The Emperor Waltz

A Paramount picture produced
in technicolor by Charles Brackett;
directed by Billy Wilder; written
by Charles Bracket and Billy Will
der; with Bing Crosby, Joan Fon-
taine, Roland Culver, Lucille Wat
son, Richard Haydn, Harold YER
milyea, and Sig Ruman.
Reviewed by Robert Alexander.
Here is a beautiful story that
has for its setting all the regal
pomp and beauty of over half
century ago, taking place during
the reign of Franz Joseph, EN-
peror of Austria. A travelling sales
man, portrayed by Bing Crosby,
seeks the endorsement of the EN-
peror, Orchard Haydn for the
new talking machine, the forerun-
ner of the modern phonograph.
This is a rare Crosby; a freely
moving, extremely personable gent.
that makes you want to place an
order Immediately, regardless of
the quality of the product. AS far
as Bing's singing is concerned, 1T
far surpasses anything that he has
done in many picture.
After crashing the court of the
Emperor, Bing meets the beauti-
full Countess, Joan Fontaine) and
falls in love. The whole affair is
arranged by two dogs, Gan excellent
actress and a clever actor about
whom the whole picture actually re-
wolves. The love scenes between
Bing and Miss Fontaine are tender,
mild and without the usual Holly
wood affectation. More like the kids
next door than the typical picture
"1overs."
This is truly an entertaining pie
ture, filmed in Technicolor and ably
directed by Billy Wilder. "The En-
peror Waltz" is not a stiff produc-
tion. 1t is satirically, sharp, and
clever. 1t sparkles with fresh
comedy air, that only two great ar
lists such as Mr.. Crosby and Miss
Fontaine could portray. The set
tings in the Emperor's court and
the breath-taking beauty of the
mountains and forests are striking,
yet not fantastic with all their
splendor.
But please! Don't forget the
dogs! The surprise ending of their
affair, which comes as a climax
to the picture, will have you talk
ing and smiling for long time.
It's good, solid entertainment!
