Killed Arbitration Policy

der the terms Of the clause"
A management spokesman,
however, said, The clause would
die with the contract. It does
not require us to arbitrate q new
contract" he said. pointing to
the phrase during the life of
this agreement"
Taking <the other view. Mr..
Cushman pointed to the stipu-
|lation that "all conditions in this
contract shall remain undis-
|turbed during the arbitration
proceedings" and asked. What
else could this contemplate but
Expiration Of the contract?"
The management spokesman.
however, said the phrase harked
back to. the days when 1t was
customary to have three-year
contracts with provision for an
nual reopenings for revision Of
wages and hours.
Also. he said, it could cover
arbitration Of claims for special
overtime payments, under which
the status quo would be main
tanned. But" he said. "the
terms of new agreement are
something entirely different"
Pension Case Cited
In 1851, pension payments were
Increased from $50 a month to
$50 a month under an agree
ment which reopened for discus
sion July /, 1953--one year after
the effective date of the labor
contract which is expiring now.
The discussions started in
March, 1858, Mr.. Cushman re-
called, but the union could not
persuade the company to make
any concessions. A strike vote
was taken, he said, and then the
District Commissioners and the
Federal Mediation Service set up
a fact-finding board before which
the company would not even ap-
pear. Finally, he said, the board
quit.
Last summer, he declared, the
union went to court in an effort
to force the company to arbi-
trate the dispute under the
terms of the arbitration clause
of the contract.
However, Mr.. Cushman re-
called, Judge Alexander Holt
.zoff ruled that the clause didn't
cover changes in the agreement
but only changes under the
agreement" and that the COM
Ipany could not be compelled to
Iarbitrate the pension question.
The union appealed, he said,
and the U. S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia
ruled In a 2-to-1 decision that
Judge Holtzoff's finding was not
final and therefore not subject
to appeal, and ordered the ques-
ton tried on its merits. Trial is
expected to be held sometime
next year.
On that point. the manage
ment spokesman said. the suit
presumably would bee o m
moot" with expiration of the
dying labor contract (not sub
lject to legal decision because 1t
concerns a condition which has
been changed.)
Mr.. Cushman, however, in
sisted that "the suit will not be-
come moot unless settled by
agreement" He said 1t would
still affect payments which
would have been made during
the life of the contract if
changes had been made by arbi-
tration in 1858.
| And, he said, the arbitration
demand was valid because the
pension agreement specifically
had been made a part Of the
labor contract.

Another major strike darkened the nations labor front Saturday as some 25,000 textile workers in four New England states struck in dispute over wages.
 New violence and damage was reported in the two big continuing strikes in the South. These two costly walkouts, which started on March IA, affect thousands of tel ephone and railroad workers as well as workers in some related industries.

Alaska Food Prices Fluctuate Wildly: Increase Expected

Food prices in Alaska are fluc- tuating wildly again. They rose moderately during the past three months at Ketchikan, Sitka and Juneau but continued to drop at Anchorage, Palmer and Fairbanks, according to the quarterly grocery survey conducted by the Alaska Experiment Station.
 The price changes seem to bear little relation to recent changes in the national supply picture. Only coffee of the 30 foods priced dropped in all Alaskan cities. No other food price rose or fell in all cities.
 This confused situation may in dicate another general round of higher prices. This has occurred before under similar circumstance es, according to Hugh A. Johnson of the Experiment Station.
 Most Alaskans still are able to eat more cheaply than during the base period of January 1852.
 Prices of the 30 food items on March Is, 1885, cost 95.6 percent of 1852 prices at Fairbanks, 93.7 percent at Palmer, 91.3 percent at Anchorage, and 104 percent at Juneau. Prices at Ketchikan on March Is were 40 percent above the base period of September 1853. Sitka prices were 2.5 per cent above the base of September 1854 for that city.

Some Delegates Question Purpose of Bandung

ABINGDON, R - Some dele gates wondered whether the stars of the conference were writing the script to please themselves. They are openly questioning the purpose of the Little Bandung'' conference held Friday here by Indian Prime Minister Nehru, Red China's Chou and Abdel Canal Nasser of Egypt, with Burmese Premier U Nu as host.
 What did they have to talk about that we couldn't all hear?" demanded an Arab delegate among the early arrivals in Ban dung. His question was echoed re- peatedly in hotel Hobbies there while the delegates were getting acquainted.
 Red China's Premier took no chances on his journey to Ban dung. He slipped out of Rangoon on his chartered Indian Skymas- ter ahead of Nehru, Nasser and C Nu. The plane had been under constant guard during its 36 hours in Rangoon and not even airport officials were permitted to ap- proach it.
