Chicago and the East Coast, Flo

Trainmen Rejected Agreement.
The striking railroad men long
have been seeking wage increases
and shorter hours.
After the December strike of
10000 men, the Government an
nounced on December 81 a basis
for three-year agreement with
the Big Four railroad unions. 1t

with another two cents effective

justments geared to cost of living.
But the Trainmen had asked a
4O-nour week for the pay received
for a 48-hour week, which would
amount to a pay raise of about
81 cents an hour. They rejected
the proposal.
The Justice Department said it
was watching the situation in the
current strike and might institute
action today.
A union spokesman said the
present strike is unauthorized
and that union leaders are doing
everything possible to get the men
back to work,
The union spokesman also ac-
cused the railroads of provoking
the walkout and said the Truman
administration is aiding and
abetting" the railroads.
He said the wage-price freeze,

Labor Trouble" Blamed.
The effects of a long lasting

exception of four railroads.

District Price Chief

District Price Director Vincent
A. Holmes disclosed today he had
been instructed by the Richmond
regional Office to start recruiting
an enforcement staff Immediately
The exact number of investi-
gators to work under Enforcement
Officer Lloyd Williamson was not
outlined by the regional officer.
The local Office is without any in

Receiving Recommendations.
Mr.. Holmes was reported to have
names OF some persons with World
War II experience in the District
OPA and he also is receiving
recommendations from the Dis
trict Bar Association.
Ihe announcement came in the
wake OF assurances from nrice
officials that they would keep a
close watch on reported plans of
some independent packers to
raise meat prices for the week.
end trade.
Economic Sterilization Agency
sources warned that all levels of
trade. except farmers, have their
prices frozen as of the highest
level between last December 10
and January 25.
Regulations Stressed.
An official stressed no one can
legally charge a higher price for
product that was sold to a
purchaser of the same class dur
ing the base period.
Several wholesalers said tn,
price device they had heard dis
cussed would be for a firm to
offer meat at a small quantity
price when heretofore they hao
been charging customers a slightly
lower price because of their high
volume of purchases.
The District office was LOOKING
into the matter, but the agency
was handicapped by lack of in
vestigators.
Washington outlets for several
major packing firms of Chicago
SAID their meat prices have not
changed this week and they have
no plans to make any changes.
Business Reported Off.
One packer said business had
been off for several weeks and was
showing no signs yet of picking
up. Meanwhile, he said. I'VE are
busy figuring ceiling prices"
Allotner packer pointed out that
wholesale pork prices were at their
highest here late in December and
early in January. Accordingly.
prices could go back to those levels
without violating the price order.
BY the same token, beef prices
for this particular firm were at
their highest last week. This
would mean the firm could not
make any price revisions-except
downward. a
And with live cattle prices mov-
Ing upward at the big Western
markets, there was the possibility
OF packers, wholesalers and retail
ers being caught in price
squeeze.
