"Across the Bourd' Wage Increase for 5 ARR Unions Pending Action in States

Negotiations on a requested "across the board" wage increase being sought by five Alaska Railroad incorporating unions is now pending the outcome of similar wage discussions in the States.
 Requests for raises also came from delegates representing two operating unions.
 Union representatives and an Alaska Railroad wage board, headed by Paul Shelmerdine and including John Manley and Elroy Hinman, held conferences on the proposal from January 2 until January 10. Since The Alaska Railroad scales are computed di- rectly from the Northern Pacific Railroad, however, the discus sions were placed in abeyance until wage agreements are reached Outside.
 While the government is not permitted to pay retroactive wages, as might be done on pri- vate Stateside roads, it can set an effective date" from which any prospective increase would be computed. That date was estab- ished at January and covers both operating and incorporating employees.
 The unions served notice on the railroad on November 28 for meetings to discuss wage adjust ments.
 Under procedure governing ARR employees, wage hikes are possible only CD providing State side lines (the Northern Pacific) are given raises, or CD providing an increase is deemed necessary as the result of a spread between Alaska and U. s. cost of living in- dexes.
 Although the government is presently making a living index study here, no official index has previously covered the territory.
 Non-operating unions, and their delegates seeking the adjustment, include John Shaw, chairman of the Non Operating Employees Committee and representative for the American Train Dispatchers Assn; R. w. Goddard, Interna- tional Assn. of Machinists, No. 1735; J. M. Skogstad, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, L. 7O8; C. O. Risch and W. H.
