The industry-both management

Wage Drive Reported

The wage drive of l million

Offices. stations, yards and freight
terminals and other branches out
side the train and switching serv-
ice. Their last pay increase was
in 1949, when they went on a 40
hour work week without loss of
pay and also received a 7-cent
hourly raise. Their sole demand
in october was for a 25-cent
raise across the board.
Operating Unions in Deadlock.
The four operating unions, on
theo ther hand, still were dead
locked in their dispute with the
carriers, dating back to 1949-50.
That stalemate, and strikes threat
ened during it. led to Army seizure
of the railroads last August. The
trainmen. conductors and firemen
and enginemen want a 40-hour
week in the yards and a substan-
tial pay hike for those on run
ming trains.
d. The fourth operating union, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, is after a 20 per cent wage
increase.
All four unions joined in press
ing their demand and signed a
tentative agreement at the White
House on December 81. It was
rejected by local union leaders a
couple of weeks later.
That pact would have given the
yard workers a 25-cent hourly in
crease and road men 10 cents, with
cost of living adjustments over
the next three years in exchange
for a moratorium on new de-
mands.
Senators to Probe Struggle.
A Senate labor subcommittee
disclosed today it would open an
investigation of the long struggle
between the four operating Or
CARNATIONS and the railroads if
it was still unsettled by Thursday.
The unions and carriers have been
meeting almost daily with the
National Mediation Board over the
past 10 days, but without much
progress reported.
Officers of the four unions have
already appeared before the sub
committee informally, giving their
side of the dispute. A spokesman
for the committee who didn't
want his name used said the en-
tire controversy would be exam
ined to find out why it can't be
settled"
The committee representative
said the group would attempt to
establish where the fault lay for
prolonging the dispute-"w whether
it be with one or more of the
disputants, or the White House
handling of the case"
Some union representatives have
said the Government bungled me-
diation of the case and prevented
earlier settlement.

the Wisconsin Republican wrote
Representative King:
1T is only reasonable to expect
that so long as an official of, let
us say. the Democratic Party Or
ganiZation, is responsible for help
ing to put a collector of internal
revenue in that particular post
in the first place. thus making
that collector politically indebted
to him. there will be opportunity
for the collector to repay that
debt in a great many tax cases
which may later come up"
Senator Wiley said the question
he raised was not a partisan one
and added:
Il would equally deplore any
contacts made by the Republican
National Committee or it's men,
bers or its officials, as I would
deplore any contacts made by the
Democratic National Committee
In view of the fact, however, that
the latter has been in power for
some 18 years, it is undoubtedly
true that most such contacts
which have been made have been
made by the Democratic National
Committee"
= Asked Dunlap for Data,
He pointed out that the ulti-
mate stakes" of political contacts
in bureau matters are infinitely
larger than the stakes in, let us
say, the RFC investigation"
When a bureau is looking
through some $50 million of tax
returns" he added, 1T has an
infinitely greater amount of dis
erection than does the RFC whose
loans do not aggregate a fraction
of that revenue total"
He referred to recent Senate in
vestigations of whether there has
been political influence in the
making of RFC loans.
Senator Wiley also announced
that he had written to John B.
Dunlap, the new Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, on October 3,
seeking statement on all "po-
litical" contacts made with the
bureau by Democrats or Republi-
cans.
