THE LEADERS Of three railroad unions, rep-
fesenting less than one tenth Of all railroad
employees, have called a railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation. M
These leaders refuse to accept 1914 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem-
Der !, 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of 151z cents already has been
accepted by the 10 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmen's Union of
North America won't accept what more than
800 OF all railroad employees have accepted
They have called strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union Ieaders-which would increase wages
still further were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
All, the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top Of this they insist that certain rules
drawn--in spite Of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms. o
Greater wage increase not justified
Engineers and fremen are among the high
est paid Of all employees in America, as figures
in the box show. This strike threat doesn't
Justify giving a greater increase than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are a means provided
by the Railway Labor Act in the public inter-.

HAYNES CUTOFF pAS5ABLE WITH PROPER CAUTION

Here is part of a letter from Pa trolman Adolph c. Lubcke station ed at Haines, to Frank A. Metcalt chief, Alaska Highway Patrol: The Highway still is in good shape and passable to all cars without chains if caution is used. The only one bad spot is the slide, and that is really bad, too The Canadian army is trying to build another road just above the present one to see fl that will help curo the stuff ing off Of the old roadbed; they are also going to put in a bridge across the enc spot that has been causing all the water to run down the road way. I surely hope it works.
 I had call from Dawson Creek, B. C., mile post on the Alaska Highway yesterday, and they report the highway in good shape between Lawson Creek and Grand Prairie. One should have no trouble unless it rains; that is the one bad spot on the Alaska Highway which has gunbo when wet.
 The Alaska Highway north from Hainss Junction also is in good shape, with some snow on the high CT summits, but freezing weather is helping that a lot.
 Believe it or not. we are still get ting some tourist traffic. Had car rom California yesterday, one from Missouri the day before.
 Our trucking is still keeping up Q steady pace with all sorts oi freight going and some coming.
