Company Losing
In kennecott
RaiImen's Strike

Salt Lake City (LPA)-Over A.
500 workers have begun streaming
back to their jobs in one of the
country's toughest and longest
strikes-which for 103 days shut
down the big mining operations OF
the Kennecott Copper Corp. at
Bingham Canyon, near this city.
The strike was called back in
October by the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen Enginemen
Over 325 members of that Brother
hood, employed as motormen and
helpers on the corporations rail-
road which hauls ore from the
mines, walked out in fight for
"equal pay for equal work."
They demanded the same wage
rates as are received by members
of the same union employed on the
same kind of occupations on anoth-
er segment of the Kennecott's pri-
vate railroad network. The latter
get SO to $4 day more than the
men on the mine railroad.
Direct negotiations and concilia-
tion attempts by federal and state
authorities failed to bring settle
ment. The Brotherhood repeatedly
urged that the dispute be submit
ed to a fact-finding board, and the
company finally agreed to pro
posal along that line made by
Cyrus Ching, chief of the US Medi
alton Cancellation Service.
That cleared the way for a re
sumption of operations. The mel
agreed to return to work pending
action by the board which will be
gin hearings in mid March aftel
the mine is back in full operation.

Nothing that could be called
alarm is disturbing the business
world. However, there is a great
deal less unquestioning belief that
the postwar boom is going to con-
tinue for an indefinite period to
come.
A good many Of the signs are
pointing downward now. There was
a noticeable drop in employment
during the last months Of 1913,
and jobs are nowhere near as easy
to find as they once were. AS 1949
opened, prices were lower than at
the beginning Of the preceding
year-the first time that has hap
pened in 10 years. One automobile
manufacturer announced sub
stantial cut in production, due to
the fact that new cars were piling
up in their dealers warehouses. In
a long list Of lines consumer re-
sistance is noticeable, and a buy
er's market is setting in. In almost
all lines, more and more consumer
caution has been evident. Savings
are down, and installment purchas-
ing has increased. In enterprises
which live on luxury spending
entertainment, vacation travel, furs
and jewelry, etc.,-the drop in
business has been relatively heavy.
This poses a question which only
time can answer Is the decline
from the postwar peak simply q
normal and inevitable adjustment
following an avalanche Of spend
ing for goods which were com
lpletely unobtainable for years? On
is it the start Of a serious bust
ness setback that could run into a
real depression? Most Of the econ
omists still favor the first view
But they have their fingers crossed
One theory holds that depress-
ion Of the extreme type, such as
that of the '30s, is no longer pos
sible-that the government is now
geared to Immediately prime the
pump and through spending and
various controls keep the machine
ticking at a good rate until normal
economic forces for the better
could again take over. But that is
strictly a theory, and no one real
ly knows how it would work out in
practice. Few people are willing to
bank on it for their economic sal
vation.
The change in the business pic
ture, small as it has been, seems
to be making itself felt in some
congressional circles. AS an ex-
ample, considerable list of law
makers, including many on the

.Spokesmen of organized labor
which favors repeal of the tax, are

Cooley predicted that the COM

a repeater will be reported out
early in March and sped through
the House by the Democratic lead
ership. House passage appeared
assured.
He said that he intends to con-
fine the hearings to the Legislative

the committee and not to turn
them into a forum for the general
discussion of the virtues of the
foods involved.
"In view of the extensive hear
ings on this subject which were
held by the Agricultural Commit
tee last year and the vast quantity
of material which has appeared in
the press" Chairman Cooley said,

the committee is familiar with just
