WHY THE
MISSOURI PACIFIC
RAILROAD STRIKE?

Over twenty years ago, the Congress Of the
United States passed the Railway Labor Act.
It was hailed by union leaders as a model
for the settlement of labor disputes.

VAST development OF
MISSOURI Valley
COMING

The hackers of a Missouri Valley
Authority for the broad Missouri
River basin gathered at Omaha last
week. Their objective: to get the
S1st Congress to set up a TVA-type
administration for developing the
water resources of the Missouri and
its tributaries.
1T WON'T PASS-This bill will be
only a gesture; the hackers of MVA
don't really expect it to pass. Too
much has already been invested in
the Missouri valley by government
agencies particularly, the Army
Engineers and the Interior Dept's
Bureau of Reclamation. Besides,
there is not much local support for
MVA. But its hackers hope that
discussion of Murray's bill will, at
least, lead to new survey of the
water-control pattern now being
formed in the basin by Reclamation
and the Engineers.
This pattern is a compromise be-
tween the Engineers, interested in
flood control and navigation, and the
rrigation-minded Reclamation Blu
reau. The programs name is the
''Pick-Sloan Plan" (BW-Nov. IS,
IA, p. 20)-after an Army engineer
and a Reclamation Bureau engineer
who have done much of the PLAN
ming.
ENOUGH WATER?-One factor
could swing sentiment to MVA, at
least as far as the western part of
the basin is concerned. MVA pro-
ponents financed an engineering
study by Jerome G. Locke; it indi-
Gates that water needed by the west
ern, headwaters area will be drawn
off by the navigation projects of the
on the lower Missouri
Locke says that only about 1 million
to million acres could be irrigated
in the western area if the navigatian
have their way; on the
other hand, million to 6 million
acres could be irrigated if water in
the western part of the basin were
reserved for western use.
MVA supporters are confident
that, if congress orders an overall
survey of the basin, it
will vindicate the Locke report. But
the Army Engineers disagree. They
think enough water comes down the
Missouri to satisfy everybody.
Business Week
EDITORS NOTE: We are advised

irmation for Colonel Locke's find /

Health Board Warns
Against Rackefeers
by Felix ]. Underwood
Executive Officer

Quite few citizens have been
the victim of all the earmarks of
what seems to be a racket which
has been going on in certain
parts of the State, according to
reports reaching the State Board
of Health A few scavenger out
fits are making business of
pumping out the contents of sep
tic tanks and pit privies. It ap-
pears that certain of these in
dividuals represent themselves
as being approved by the health
authorities and promote their
employment by telling prospec-
tive customer that the health de-
partment has ordered all septic
tank and privy pits emptied of
their contents. Furthermore,
when securing job, they do
not give the customer a lump sum
bid, but base their price on a
unit basis, that is, on the supposed
number of gallons or cubic feet
of the contents. Then when the
fob is completed, the customer
finds himself presented with an
exorbitant bill. 1t is felt that
some publicity should be given
this matter in an effort to pro-
fect our citizens against what is
virtually becoming a racket IN
sorne sections of the State.
No individual, firm or corpora
tion engaged in the business of
pumping out septic tanks and
privy pits is approved by the
State Board of Heath, nor does
any such otfit officially repre-
sent the State Board of Health or !,
any county health department.
Citizens are advised, if in doubt
concerning the need for having a
The Lexington advertiser., 1949-01-06

septic tank or privy emptied, to
Ga the sanitation supervisor Of
.he local health department for
advice.
1ne State Board of Health does
not recommend emptylng such
structures of their contents until
necessary. A home septic tank OF
sufficient volume for the family
served ordinarily should not
have to be cleaned for period
of eight to IL years. A pit privy
should not require emptying un-
til the pit is approximately full.
1t is suggested that before any
one is employed for such an opera
tion the local health department
should be consulted for advice
as to the need for the service.
Do not be misled by high pres
sure from the individual seeking
to render the service for price.
Prices charged for this service
have been excessive in numerous
cases. Citizens who contract for
such scavenger service are ad-
vised TO contact on the basis OF
a definite volume of the contents
of the tank or privy before hav-
ing the work done. This can be
determined from the inside leng-
tn and length of the structure and
the depth of contents to be re-
nowing the exact
volume in gallons or cubic feet
of contents to be removed will
enable the individual to know
what the final cost of the job will
be. No one should contract to
have such work done solely on a
unit basis, since this gives the
INSCRIPTIONS operator an oppor-
.unity to charge the unsuspecting
an exorbitant price.

Liquor Firm Requests
FTC 10 Drop Charge

Attorneys for Middle Atlantic
Distributors. Inc. liquor whole
salers here, have formally re-
quested the Federal Trade Com
mission to dismiss q Government
complaint charging the firm with
making price-f1xing agreements
with Washington retailers.
In q brief prepared by Attorney
Willard I. Fucker and filed with
the FTC yesterday. the whole
saler claimed that the complaint
is "predicated solely on improved
and unfounded suspicious"
Middle Atlantic is charged by
the FTC with compelling retail
dealers to resell the wholesalers
products at specific prices and re-
fusing to sell to those stores dis
covered offering Middle Atlantic
liquors below suggested" prices.
The motion insisted that q
Manufacturer or distributor has
right to issue to its dealers price
lists containing suggested resale
prices. This right, declared Mr..
Fucker, "has been uniformly al
lowed by the courts when the
point has been raised"
FTC Trial Examiner William

weeks before he makes his recon-
mendation to the commission on
whether to grant the motion or
set it aside.
