survey of all of their members and
ind GU as to whether they have
heir policies and if the wills ar
made ike they want them. If the

willed to, you can readily see that
this will bring about conflict. i
there is no will, you can see that this

due trouble. Presidents, please take
this survey at your earliest copven

POCKETBOOK DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE UNIONS CRY
TO ARBITRATE.
What ARE THESE SENIORITY DEMANDS WHICH
THE UNION USES TO PARALYZE THE CITY?

The Union knows that the Company has no present plans
for reducing its force but that does the managerial
Utilities to the public if did not operate economically
It is the first time in the Companys history that the
Union has raised this issue.
As matter of present policy the Company provides for
the separation of employees found necessary for efficiency
reasons seniority basis by classification within the group
to be reduced In other Words the last hired would be the
first to CO. The Company however, does not believe it is in
the public interest to retain employees the payroll when
it has no work for them
The Union demands that the Company place into the
contract seniority clause that ridiculous it's face It
divides the Company into two districts: Cd Operating
ployes; % incorporating employees.
The incorporating district includes employees in many
work casscations ranging from cleaners to the highest
skilled mechanic.
The Union demands the last man hired be laid off first
in each district AS illustration if weder hired last
and the Company desired to separate cleaner would
have to lay off the Weder and retain the cleaner
though had work for the Weder and work for the
car cleaner. 1t is simple as that.
The Union also demands seniority in rehring. If
separated 10 employees because there longer work for
the we would have to the entire list of separated
employees in seniority turn to hire cleaner any
time in the following five years. In addition it demanded
we give days notification to each separated eploye
and an additional 80 days to report. If the first ten
canvassed were working other jobs and took the maximum
time to report would take from 81 days to than six
months to rehire cleaner Furthermore if the who
elected to return Weder but took the cleaners job
that open he would have be EMPLOYED at wede wages
IT IS THIS ISSUE THAT THE UNION SAYS MUST BE
SETTLED IN THEIR FAVOR.
We leave to your common decide whether it
is smoke screen to hide the real ISSUE

In Row With Carriers
BY The Associcssd Press

which has blasted Government
handling of the long-standing rail
dispute was called to the witness
stand today by the Senate Labor
Committee.
The group summoned w. P.
Kennedy, president Of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, to
public hearing on the two-year-
old argument between the car
riers and railway workers over
higher pay and better working
conditions.
Also scheduled for today was O
wage conference between negotia-
tors for the railroads and Is non-
operating unions. George e.
Leighty, chairman of the unions
Negotiating Committee, said this
conference could turn out to be
a showdown. It was arranged by
the National Mediation Board.
Last Thursday the Senate labor
group heard w. E. B. Chase, vice

nounce John r. Steelman, who as
President Truman's assistant has
been trying for months to settle
the dispute between the carriers
and the four big operating unions.

man once indicated Mr.. Truman
would ram a settlement down our
throat"

tify, but there has been no indi-
cation yet that he will. In the
past he has declined the invita-
tions of other congressional COM
mittees to be a witness.

feeling was said to be that a
subpoena could not be enforced
unless Mr.. Truman was willing to
let Mr.. Steelman testify.
