Arbitration OF
WageDispute
Ruise Would Couse
Deficit, Soys OffieioI
Of Tronsit Company

The Alexandria. Bancroft a.
Washington Transit Co. today re-
fused to arbitrate a wage dispute
with its drivers and maintenance
workers as suggested by Gov. Tuck
of Virginia.
Bus drivers and maintenance
workers last week voted 70 strike.
July 81. when their present con-
tract expires. unless an agree
ment is reached by that time.
Gov. Tuck has been notified of
the strike vote in accordance with
Virginia law.
In a letter to the governor.
President r. L. May said;
The responsibility OF officials
to manage with prudence the af-
fairs of the company through the
coming year-in the face Of 'un-
mistakable signs Of economic un-
rest-to discharge their duty to
the public and TO maintain a
sound financial position In order
to fulfill the company's respon-
sibility to employees and to insure
their jobs. removes beyond ques-
ton the submission of the issues
here involved to arbitration"
Retirement Plan Also Sought.
The union is asking a 30-cent
hourly increase for bus operators
and maintenance workers and a
retirement plan. A union spokes-
man said the company has re-
fused to offer any wage increases,
and rejected the retirement plan.
B. c. May. general manager.
said union demands. exclusive OF
the wage increase, would shove
the company into a deficit for the
year. Wage increases were grant
ed in 1947 and 1948. even though
the company lost money both
years. he added. A fare adjust
ment in October. ls48. has re-
suited in a slight profit for the
company so far this year. MIR
May said, but not a profit that
is fair return on the amount OF
money invested.
"A wage increase now would
only mean that fares would have
to be increased or the company
propelled toward bankruptcy, and
we do not believe that the public
should be called upon to pay in
creased fares in order to increase
wages to employees when there is
no evidence of increased costs Of
living"
Willing to Continue Talks.
If the dispute went TO arbitra-
ton. Mr.. May said. the, arbitrators
would be in the position to tell
the public what fares they should
pay.
Such q decision. he continued.
more properly belongs to the al
ready duly constituted govern
mental regulatory bodies. An un-
realistic or expedient arbitration
might take the form Of q compro-
mise not justified by the facts Of
the case"
= In refusing to arbitrate. the
company made 1t clear 1t was will
ing to continue negotiations di-
rectly with the union and with
q representative Of the Governor.
The Governor is authorized to
take over the bus line II the
workers strike. The company
which serves Alexandria and part
of Arlington and Fairfax. has

mately $40 members Of Local 1881.

Book Review
Sister St. Hilary

Pilgrim Inn is the first of Eli- zabeth Goudge's novels since her popular but less artistic Green Dolphin Street It is reminiscent of her earlier works in it's charm and the delft handling of her cha racters.
 The story of the Eliot family. W tn Lady I-uci'la. the matriarch, domina ing gently and lovingly the lives of all with whom she comes in contact, is interestingly told and ends quite satisfactori- ly It had to have happy end- ing, for as the author states, she cloves these people too muck to make them unhappy"
 Tbere is a touch of magic in the old Pilgrims Inn, to which George Eliot and his beautiful wife Nadine move with their fa- mily. In the Middle Ages it was used as a resting place for the pilgrims who left England for the Holy Land, and something of it's early personality remained with it to flow over into the lives of those who are fortunate G. nough to live in it.
 There are mystery, romance. heartbreak (which proves fortun- ateIy to be only temporary and
 five perfectly enchanting child
 ren. They are source of con- stant amazement to their parents and a delight to the reader. Few
 writers of this generation are a.
 ble to handle the characterize tion of children as does Miss
 G udge
 It IS a happy book; it makes one a little nostalgia for the
 times and the manners which
 made for gracious living. The
 reader is assured of a few pleas
 ant hours of release from the
 m notony of daily routioe

"I must say stated Bill, "that I do not like this Catholic idea of eonfessing one 8 sins to mere man-perhaps 8 bad man for all you know"

 But" 1 went on, flor the, sake of argument, we'll mentally create the worst man you can think of, and make him priest Then we come to the thought that k bothe ing you: How can so bad 8 man do so eodly an act as forgiving sins?' My answer is this similitude:
 "A young man quarrels with his fiancee and breaks the en. gagement Later he realizes his fault aud his loss.

A private wire to God

"Now what would that happy young man think if some skeptie were to tell him that it was i'm [ ssible for so sweet and sacred q message to come via a mere piece of copper wire, perhaps somwhere along the line filthy with soot and dirt?
 Although the Catholic priest has the Christ given power to forgive sins, he is also like our private wire to God We need not consider whether he, as . man. Is sinful or unworthy If we think of him at all it is as an instrument through which comes to us, who are truly peni- tent God's own merciful forgive ness just as surely as the hue man voice comes over the tele- phone wire
 Thus from the time when Christ empowered His first priests to forgive sins by the words, Whose sins you shall for give, they are forgiven them: nd whose sns you shall retain, they are retained John 2O:23) Up to ! this day and hour, the Catholic has in the priesthood his private wire to God for confesslng his sins and for receiving d,vine for glveness and favor" " F as anything Catho ic. . { q | Catholic.

EX-SENATOR DILL OF WASHINGTON REVIEWS OPINIONS
OF SOUTHERN GOVERNORS ON IVA

To the Editor of The Peoples Voice
At this time when the governors
of Washington, Oregon and Idaho
are making public statements based
on their imaginations, if not their
Authorizations, as to what will hap
pen in the Pacific northwest under a
Columbia Valley Administration, it is
informative to consider the state
ments of the governors of the seven
states where the IVA, an almost
identical form of governmental or
ganization, has been in operation for
Is years.
The governors of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho predict that all
local influences, state rights and
community interests will be overrid-
den and destroyed by a eva. Here
is what the governors who have had
experience with the IVA say on that
subject.
The governor of Tennessee, Prem
tiss M. Cooper, said:
During my six years as Governor
of Tennessee l have certainly had
ample opportunity to study IVA and
l can say that the rights of this state
and its citizens, far from having been
restricted or violated by activities of
this federal agency, have been en-
larged through enriched opportun-
tiles"
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-10-07

The governor of North Carolina,
j. M. Broughton, sail:
II have found IVA to be most CO.
operative and have only praise for
the agency's operation in this state. y
The governor of Virginia, Colgate
W. Darden, Jr., said:
"TVA operations in Virginia have
not resulted in any encroachment on
state rights"
The governor of Kentucky, Simeon
S. Willis, said:
"There is no reason why IVA
should not be able to operate with
out encroaching upon states rights. ="
The governor of Alabama, Chaun-
cy M. Sparks, said:
"There has been no question of a
federal agency coming in and riding
roughshod over state and local agen-
cies. TWAS fine record has i'm
pressed business and agriculture and
labor alike. 1t has made a tremen-
dous contribution to public welfare. :"
The governor of Georgia, Ellis
Arnall, said:
"The only complaint I have re-
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-10-07

garding IVA is u at its influence has
not permiated this state further.
There has been no encroachment on
states rights"
The governor of Mississippi,
Thomas L. Bailey, said:
81 do not feel that the role played
by this federal agency in Mississippi
has constituted any encroachment on
our state rights. We have cooper
ated with IVA and it has cooper
ated with us and our state agencies.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-10-07

The result has been satisfactory"
These statements by the governors
of all the states where IVA oper-
ates, recall the statement by Thomas
jefferson, who said: "a decade of
experience in government is worth a
whole century of predictions about
government"
To assume that three men chosen
to operate a eva, would override
and disregard the local interests of
the people of the Pacific northwest,

world know that we under
stand democracy, then we
must behave in a matured
manner. Problems which can
be solved at home have no
business in the White House,
for most certainly we shall
find ourselves in the position

stantly yelled, Wolf, wolff"
But we see another grave
danger in such matters reach
ing the White House, at least
officially. Virgin Islanders in
New York should come to real
ize that they hurt their cause
and ours when they deport
themselves in a manner con-
trary to democratic principles.
And every time that we stick
our necks out, or run on a
limb we ruin our chances to
impress Congress and the Pre-
sident when the time comes
for real action.
IN this New Year e t us
resolve, here and on the main

ton; to hue the line closer to
true democracy, and to save
our energies for such time
when they could be used to

WHAT OTHERS THINK
WISE DECISION

0ASAS4ON
The Municipal Council of the
Municipality of St. Croix has
acted with wisdom by enact
ing legislation designating po-
pular Buck Island as a public ,
park. Passage of this measure {
puts to rest persistent reports
that private enterprisers were
seeking to buy, and>some au-
thorItles were willing to sell
the area for the development
OF a tourist resort. The people
OF St. Croix, observing that the
best beaches and other recrea-
ton areas were being pura,
chased for private Develop
ment, were viewing with
alarm a trend which, if not inn
terrupted would ultimately
find them restricted from
many of the areas where theyJ
frequented for recreation. The
action of the legislature in
sures the people at least one
place to which they can 60 on
outings without fear of re-
strictions. ]
Although the sale of choice
property in St. Thomas has be-
come as phenomenal as in St.
Croix, people here have had
very little to worry about re-
garding places to swim.
It is comforting to know
that the public's interest is not
being forgotten or disregard9(
ed as the islands seek to deve-
lop a thriving tourist trade.
The situation, however, should
not lull us into complacencyc
Every effort should be made
to insure that existing pattern
of things is not re-arranged.o
We in the Virgin Islands =
should be able to prove that
a community can have a boom-A
ing tourist trade without toss-rt 81
ing the rights and privileges :
of people through the window.
