) Unions Block Labor Peace-ReflIse Wage Boost
Already Accepted by 10 Other Railroad Unions!

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Enei-
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen and the Switchmen's
Union of North America, representing
125,OOO railroad employees, have refused
to accept the offer of the Railroads of a
wage increase of 1519 cents an hour.
This is the same increase awarded
1,09O,0OO incorporating employees by an
arbitration board in September, 1947.
This is the same increase accepted by
175,000 conductors, trainmen and switch
men by agreement on November Ia, 1947.
Agreements have been made with
LIS, 200 employees, represented by nine
teen unions. But these three unions, rep
resenting only 125,000 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 79o
of all railroad switchmen, the other 93%
being represented by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and covered bv the
settlement with that union.
Strike Threat
The leaders of these three unions spread a
strike ballot while negotiations were still
In progress. This is not secret vote but is
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,
1947, to bring about a settlement. The
Board on January Is, 1948, announced
its inability to reach mediation settle
ment. The leaders of the unions rejected
the request of the Mediation Board to
arbitrate. The railroads accepted.

employees, and those among the highest paid,
can successfully maintain the threat of a par
alyzing strike against the interest of the en-
tire country-and against 80 per cent of their
fellow employees.
The threat of strike cannot justify grant,
ing more favorable conditions to I25, 900 en-
plOyes than have already been put in effect
for 1,175,000, nor will it alter the opposition
OF the railroads to unwarranted wage in-
creases or to changes in working rules which
are not justified.
A glance at the box shows what employees
represented by the Engineers and Firemen
make. They are among the highest paid in
the ranks Of labor in the United States, if not
the highest.

Now if you ate two potatoes at
each of your three daily meals,
they would be good contributors
toward a larger waistline.
So let's have potatoes frequent
ly enough to get the effect of their
medium cost and even more i'm
portant, to get the effect Of their
high food value.
We're very serious in emphasiz-
ing the profit in boiling potatoes in
their skins. This point has been
stressed for years-then in ques-
tioning women we find they just
don't do it. Their only excuse is
they pare the potatoes from habit

and forget about other methods
being less work.
Then, too, unknown to you, we
often peek over your shoulder and
find you boiling potatoes in "water
to cover. Use one inch of water
and then add a tight fitting lid
for saving time and food value.
Shall we peek again to see if
you're using the potato water for
gravy or soups?
This all sounds like scolding-
and rubbing it in, but were far
more interested in the big contri-
button to your food budget and
your good nutrition that well-cook-
ed frequently served potatoes can
be.

The Turn Danlper

r MENTIONED the turn damper
l. in one of my previous arti-
cles. This part of the heating
plant is so important however
That it requires further discus
sion. The turn damper, or but
terf1y damper, should always be
located between the check dam
per and the furnace. 1t is the
Rccelerator of the heating plant.
Some furnaces, however, are not
equipped with a turn damper. In
3 case of this sort your local
plumber should be called in to
install one.
With an accelerator in our
automobile, we are able to drive
fast or slow according to the
pressure that we put on it. With
D heating plant if we want to
burn coal faster we merely open
The turn damper. If we wish to
reduce the burning speed we
elose down on this damper.
This turn damper Is merely a
circular plate with an attached
Smyrna times., 1948-01-29

pin protruding through thu
smoke pipe. It's position should
be such as to permit a uniform
amount of air to flow through
the fuel bed, making a brisk
fire. This position is as nearly
closed as possible up to the
point where fumes from the
burning coal do not back into the
basement.
If this turn damper is located
between the check damper and
the chimney, it is in the wrong
place, because as the check dam
per opens, the turn damper will
act as battle in the smoke pipe,
permitting the fumes of the
burning coal to escape into the
basement through the open
check damper.
If there are any doubts as to
the correct position or location
of the turn damper in your fur
mace, ask your local coal dealer
to inspect your heating plant.

Food For Thought
BACK TO POTATOES


Mary T. Davenport, Nutritionist
State Board of Health
In days when Imitation" and
"high prices of food" are such
frequently heard terms we find the
irish potato suffering a setback
in popularity. Where our purchase
of other vegetables has increased
by leaps and bounds, the sales of
potatoes have increased very lit
tie.
Let's sees what the potato can
mean to us by way of the budget
and by way of our good nutrition.
First let's sweep out, once and
for all, the idea that potatoes are
fattening. A medium potato tips
the scales at 100 calories and a
piece of chocolate pie shows over
325 calories. Two pieces of candy,
a pound of which would contain
about 35 pieces, which is average,
equals one potato. How many
times. do We eat chocolate pie or
