Citizens Group
Seeks Renewal OF
Talks In Strike

st. Louis (LPA)-A seven-man
citizens committee, including rep
resentatives of both AFL and CIO
is trying to bring together spokes-
men for the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road and the four rail brotherhoods
in the operating crafts whose
strike has crippled the carriers
operations in II states. On strike
are 5000 workers.
The committee will not attempt
arbitration of the grievances which
caused the walkout, but will do its
best to get the parties talking
again. Neither side has made an
overture to the other since the
strike began on Sept. 9.
Labor representatives on the
citizens committee are John l.
Rollins, executive secretary of the
St. Louis Central Trades & Labor
Union-AFL and Oscar A. Ehrhardt,
executive secretary Of the CIO In
dustrial Union Council. Mayor
Joseph NJ. Darst Of st. Louis is
also a member.
The strike began when the road
refused to settle 282 grievances
totaling S3,0O0,00O. The number of
grievances was originally 1900,
and negotiations have been in pro-
gress for three years. Two previous
strike threats were withdrawn by
the unions, but this time the unions
held that all the resources of the
Railway Labor Act had been ex-
hausted.

spectators at the belated Labor
Day celebration Friday evening at
the City park stadium were re-
warded with a colorful fireworks
display under sponsorship of the
Central Labor Union.
Part of the program planned for
Labor Day and called off because
of inclement weather was carried
out Friday evening and, in spite
of the cold and dampness, a large
number witnessed the pyrotechnics
that climaxed the evening.
\ The Cambridge Band entertained
With program of music, beginning
'at 6:30 o'clock. This was followed
by the awarding of the holiday
prizes, an address by Ted Deth-
loft, organizer for the American
Federation of Labor, Akron, the
brilliant fireworks and a dance at
the park pavilion.
Frank Campbell headed the Com
mittee that arranged the program.
Good job, Frank.
We are anxiously awaiting re-
ports from the wage conference.
Some good points should be added
to our working agreement as re-
suit of the confab.

Printers Thdnk Those Who
Helped Win 22-Month Fiuht

Typographical Union No. 16,
has terminated it's strike
against the Chicago Tribune, Her
old-American, Daily News, Sun
Times and Jurnal of Commerce,
which began on Nov. "a, 1947.
A proposal from the publishers
was ratified by the membership by
secret ballot, at special meeting
on Sept. Is. The vote was 1887 to
279.
The new contract provides a $40
weekly wage increase plus "the
maximum security possible under
the Taft-Hartley law" according
to union statement.
The strikers had rejected pre-
vious proposals by majorities of
more than ten to one, because of
the publishers refusal to include
auses which were regarded as
Essential to union security.
The publishers had offered the
union no definite proposal before
the U. S. district court at Indian
apolis, on March 27, 1948, issued
an injunction against the unions
international officers. Their first
proposal, dated more than four
months after the strike began, was
of such a nature that the union
branded it as demand for our un-
conditional surrender" This docu-
ment would have abrogated the
un o MS time-honored priority
law" would have required en-
ployees to handle "hot work"
without restriction, and would have
made the foreman the sole Judge

L IWenty-elgnL OF LneSe were SUD
mitted by the Brotherhood while
Is counter proposals were pre-
sented by the manufacturers.
The new agreement covers a
two-year period and embodies the
customary clause that either side
may reopen the contract after go
days notice.
While the majority of the Bro
therhood's proposals concerned
mostly working conditions and
minor pay adjustments, two pro-
posals asking for a substantial
wage increase and the establish
ment Of a retirement and welfare
program highlighted the discus
sions throughout the conference.
The manufacturers rejection for
a general wage increase at this
time was based on the increase in
the cost of production to warrant
such raise and this in turn would
have to be passed on to the buyers
of their product who, at the pre-
sent time are asking that prices be
reduced.
In the matter of a pension plan
for employees in the industry, we
feel we have made the initial step
of this becoming a reality in the
near future. Agreement was reach
ed whereby both parties to the
present pact will appoint commit
tees of a fact-fnding nature to ex-
plore the possibilities of a pension
plan with the costs to be borne by
both sides.
Other clauses in the new contract
are:
When an employee is scheduled
to report for work and none is
the employee shall be
paid two hours at his prevailing
rate of pay.
Maintenance men shall be class
ed as skilled labor
All extra glost drawing shall be
given to waredressers.
When a jiggerman is hurt on
the job or hospitalized, and a new
jiggerman brings his own crew on
the job, the crew of the old jigger-
man shall be given available work
so as not to lose their vacation pay.
Other proposals concerning ad-
justing the rate of pay of selectors
IN chinaware shops and a uniform
rate of pay be established for diff
ferent types of automatic and semi
automatic jiggers will be taken up
n a special conference.
The above information is intend
ID to give the trade a general
dea of the changes to be made in
he present agreement, but cannot
De taken as official. Following the
Usual procedure President James
VI. Duffy and Secretary y-Treasurer
Thas. F. Jordan will meet with

Hull, SIaven And
DaIes Present AT
Meeting Of No. 124

The attendance at the meeting
of Local Union 124 Tuesday even
ing was very good and included
three vice presidents of the Broth
erhood, Bros. James Slaven, Frank
Hull and Frank Dales.
Our conferees to the wage con-
ference gave very thorough re-
port of the proceedings. While we
were a little disappointed that
some of the proposals pertaining
to our particular crafts were turn
ed down, it was very gratifying to
hear that the ball has started to
roll on the retirement and welfare
fund.
A dispute from the decorators at
Taylor, Smith & Taylor pottery
was discussed and a committee ap-
pointed to take the matter up with
Vice President Hull in his re-
marks used as his theme, the sup
eriority in production of the Am
erican worker over the foreign
worker. His talk was we'll received
and he was given a round of ap-
plause at conclusion.
Bro. Ray Hammond of Local
Union 20, Steubenville, Ohio, was
also visitor at the meeting.
Our next meeting will be held on

FOREIGN BASES
INFORMATION.
(From M. L. Y, MoroansaJ

(From M. L. Y. Moroanza.J
To Mrs. I. K. Silver Spring:
Several months ago the All
Hands magazine had a good
article giving all general informa-
ton such as housing. commissary
data. on most Of its foreign bases.
Perhaps your husband could get
. copy of it for you.
I spent almost two years at
Rio de Janerio. Brazil, as a Navy
wife, with a baby only q year old.
We found it an interesting and
educational experience. But re-
member that wherever you 60,
you will be homesick for the
United States and all its luxuries.
Rio is a beautiful city with a
warm climate and plenty of SWIM
ming. It is an expensive city to
live in, however. My husband and
I had occasional upsets, but the
baby thrived. He could even speak
Portuguese before we returned.
No matter where YOU 60, look
at it with the spirit of adventure,
and enjoy yourself. Other people
are envious of your opportunity.

TRAILER INFORMATION.
(From Mrs. J. r. r., Riuerdale. >


Just a little Of this and that, and
an urgent request for information.
First. I have forwarded all the
recent information concerning a
west coast trip to my aunt in Bal
timore. She found it very helpful
and thanks all contributors. Now.
however. she has decided to take
trailer. Never having had any
experience Of the vaguest kind
with trailer. she thought per-
haps some experienced readers
could give a few helpful hints.
Best routes dragging a trailer?
The ultimate destination is Los
Angeles. Also what make Of car
Is best? The trailer in question Is
medium size aluminium light
weight type. Any information of
any kind would be greatly appre-
ciated by my novice aunt.
A few answers hope will help:

have been very interested in
the food-cost discussions. I don't
see how people spend so much!
My food bill is never over $40
weekly including milk. We have
meat or fish daily and all good
cuts. There are only three of us.
but comparing appetites, I say we
eat enough for five. My tip Is this:
buy only at super markets, and
shop only once a week. I have
found that on most articles the
big markets are from one to 10
cents cheaper. And buying once a
week do away with many tempta-
tions. It's when make extra trips
Tor one item that I find myself
buying five instead-all unneces-
sary. Try this yourself-it works!

SOUNDPROOFING?

but our bedroom. which is very
beautiful and large. is directly

fore. If we want to sleep late
mornings or retire early. or If one
lis bedridden, we are disturbed to
no end with the footsteps upstairs.
The linoleum in the upstairs
kitchen is cemented. and perhaps
this makes a difference.
However, the room is a high one.
and I would appreciate hearing
from any Of you who might know
how this problem can be solved
and how expensive 1t would be.
Could something be put against

ceiling made which would make
it soundproof? Also. how many
inches would it take away from
