Coming up for vacation bargain
hunters is . variation Of the plan
For $50 above a direct, transcon-
tinental round trip, travellers can
add Merida. Yucatan; Havana
Cuba, and Miami, as we'll as
Mexico City. Five airlines got
! together to dream up this new
6,50O-mile air holiday. The 1898
fare is scheduled to 60 into effect
December 20 and end on April
30, 1850.
Airlines participating in the spe-
cial rate are Trans-World, Pan
American. National. Compania
Guiana de Aviacion and Compania
Mexicanna de Aviacion.
Different Route Back-Rather
than tack on a side trip, the
proposed plan takes advantage OF
a routing arrangement the air
linese copied from the railroads
an alternative return route
Trans World Airlines takes the
overland course between the East
and California, Pan American
World Always the Mexico-Ca
ibbean arc and National Airlines
between Miami and Washington
Extensive stop-overs are allowed
in vacation areas that induce the
vacationer to linger.
Individual preferences vary, OF
course, and you can practically
write your own ticket. But here
is a suggestion for a months ali
holiday: A week in California
two weeks in Mexico. a look-in
on gay Havana and a week In
Florida. Early starters can have
four months before they return
home. Trips must be completed

Ever since American Airlines
introduced its side-trip to Mexico
City on its transcontinental route
through Texas, 1t has been pos
sible for Washington travellers to
fly to California. take in Mexico
and return for fare outlay OF
about $340. That does not in
clude the Federal transportation
tax, so add Is per cent.
The round trip, direct fare to
California is about 1882. If you
follow American Airlines' sugges-
|tion, you will add $50 for diver
sion into Mexico, where devalua-
ton of the peso reduces vacation
costs in practice as well as In
theory. And many traveller,
headed for the West Coast on
business, has loafed back eastward
with a Mexican vacation for a
transportation outlay of only $50.
The offshoot hop is too alluring
for many passengers to skip.

New Caribbean Air Bargain Coming Up

winthin l2o days. but prior to
April 80. in any case.
Like other bargain air fares
including round-trip reductions
the rates do not permit family
plan" privileges. A man and his
wife would pay 1888 each, plus
a total tax of 500. So Ameri-
can Airlines, with its transconti-
mental family plan. Still has q
bargain to be considered.
Budget Considerations-Lets do
some figuring: A man and his
wife want to fly to California. To
benefit from the family plan,
available on certain days Of the
week. he has to pay the full rate,
s148.35 each way. Then she Is
eligible to go along at half fare.
Total cost for the couple, exclu-
sive of tax, equals three full-fare
tickets, or $445. But the family
plan is not applicable to American
Airlines' side trip to Mexico City.
Two tickets at $50 bring the total
California Mexico City trip up to
1868.
That 1868 averages 1921 per
person. Oddly enough, the 1921
is what one person would have to
pay for a round trip direct to
California. Thus the Mexico City
side trip can be considered as
thrown in free. That might be a
good talking point for a wife who
wants to 60 along.
The new five-airline plan,
swinging through the Caribbean.
stands on its own feet as . bar
gain, even without q family rate
reduction. For $50 more than one
round "trip ticket to California. the
upcoming special fare adds 1900
miles of air travel. II you flew

and Pan American via Mexico and
Cuba in the other direction-eacf

Mass, under the name Of Con-
ways Express. Conway's brought
the first court injunction against
q union after the Taft-Hartley
Act took effect in August, 1947.
The Injunction was to last until
the NLRB ruled in the matter.
Conway's was a party to an
area freight handling agreement
under which three other con-
Germs consented in their contracts
that their employees would not be
required to handle goods of an
other company whose workers
were on strike.
A strike occurred at Conway's
and it's employees persuaded driv-
ers for the other three truck lines
not to handle any cargo from
the struck concern. Mr.. Rabouin
appealed to the NLRB that the
teamsters were violating the boy
colt ban of Taft-Hartley and the
court injunction was obtained.
Three members of the f1ve-man
NLRB ruled that the boycott ban
should not apply where specific
provision is. made In contract that
the employees will not handle
"struck work" or "hot cargo"
They are John M. Houston. Abe

Rule Law Should Apply.
They declared that since the
other three employers, in effect,
consented in advance to boycott
Conway's. the provision Of the
law should not apply.
Chairman Paul Herzog con-
cured in the ultimate finding"
that there was no violation Of law,
but he said he would not hold
the contracts to be a defense
