Historic Peaks

They point out that more
Americans have been and are
working at better-paying jobs
than ever before in the his
tory of the country; that en-
ployment in 1857 averaged 65
million, a record high and 4
million more than were en-
ployed in 1852, a Democratic
war year. Also, summer en-
ploymnt in 1858 was over 65
million, and that both hourly
and weekly wages are at an
all-time high, averaging "a
per cent higher than six years
ago. Factory workers average
hourly wages this summer
were $2.13 and weekly wages
stood at $3.50, compared to
$l.67 and $67.97 in 1852. In
August, 1888, employment
rose and unemployment fell
100000 to A. million-the
largest monthly drop in un-
employment in two years.
The country, the Republi-
cans insist, is coming out of
the 1858 recession and is on
its way to further economic
gains for all the people.
1t remains to be seen,
however, whether such reci-
tails of past and present gains
will wipe out the memory of
the pinch the workers felt in
the earlier months of 1858.
The Democratic Fact Book, :"
issued by the Democratic Ma
tional COMMITTEE for use in
the campaign, accuses the
Eisenhower administration of
tagging in efforts to meet the
recession and to provide jobs
for the unemployed. The
Eisenhower administration,
backed by Republicans in
Congress, it is charged, cut
down funds which the Demo-
Gratis proposed for increased
unemployment benefits.
The same fact book COM
plains that the organized
labor movement has lost
ground under the present
COP. administration. 1t
points out that in the years
1888 to 1948 the labor unions
grew in membership from
three million to II million.

administration, it continues,

Rides Railroads

Is the passenger train, with
all its advantages over the
stufiness of bus travel, and
the uncertainties and hazards
Of air travel, going to disap-
pear in a decade or more?
Unless the ICC stops the
railroads from pricing them
selves out of business, then
Examiner Howard HoSmer's
dire prediction to that effect,
carried in The Star, will most
certainly come to pass.
Recently, the New York
Central and Pennsylvania
Railroads let it be known they
want another Is per cent in
crease in first-class passenger
fares. and a 5 per cent
boost in coach fares. Since
the Pennsylvania's prime
Washington-New York run is
involved. this is of vital con-
cern to travellers of both
cities.
Apparently, neither Alfred
E. Perlman, president of Cen
tral, nor James M. Symes,
head of Pennsylvania, has
any respect for the law of
diminishing returns. Don't
they realize that each time
they raise fares, their total
passenger income dwindles
sharply because the number
OF passengers falls of by a
far greater percentage than
the amount of the fare in
crease?
1t is hard to understand
how one with such archaic
thinking ever became presi-
dent of a railroad! w. N.
Deramus, head of Kansas
City Southern, is getting all
the passengers he can haul
after a recent 20 per cent cut
in coach-flrst class fares!
Many is the time I've rid
den the Congressional Linn
tied coaches for about $3.50
(or 3 cents a mile) on the
226-mile Washington to New
York run. 1t was in good
style, comfort, fine food and
service. Two sections of the
Congressional were needed to
take care of the patrons.
But this was all too good
for the Pennsy. 1t just had to
raise rates. Now the fare is
1886 for the trip, with hardly
more than a corporal's guard
aboard on weekdays. Sleek
buses make the New York
Washington run for $7.32. a
saving of $2.34 under rail
coach fare. 1t isn't hay, de-
spite the fact the bus trip
takes an hour longer.
Wouldn't it be better from
the standpoint of net income,
passenger or public service.
and public good will to haul
say 400 passengers at the old
$3.50 fare than about $50 at
the current $9.66 rate?

House ROadblOck

The Senate passed the Ken
nedy lives labor bill, 88 to /.
Ordinarily, a measure COM
manding such support in one
house of Congress could rea-
sonably expect favorable &C
ton in the other. But the
House Labor Committee, con-
trolled by the Democrats, de-
clined to report out a bill
dealing with this labor
racketeering, although a bill
similar to the Kennedy-Ives
bill had been introduced and
referred to the committee,
along with a strong bill
offered by the Republicans.
In addition, Speaker Ray
burn kept the Ives labor bill
on his desk for 40 days. when
he might have referred it to
the House Labor Committee.
So when there was no other
recourse, an effort was made
to pass the Kennedy-Ives bill
under suspension of the House
rules-which requires two
thirds vote to pass. 1t also all
lows only 40 minutes for de-
bate and prohibits the Offer
ing of amendments to the
bill.
The Republican charge is
that the Democrats really in
tended all along to stall off
any legislation during this
campaign year. They point
out that if the bill had been
referred earlier. to the House
committee and reported out.
. it could have been passed by
a mere majority vote-after
opportunity had been given to
debate and amend the bill.
Much in this coming election
will depend on the so-called
labor vote,

ing 10 promote legislation

Most particularly, however,
the Democratic Fact Book
sets forth in detail the Demo-
cratic side to the argument
over who killed the Ken
nedy-Ives bill"-a measure
designed 10 deal in some
respects with racketeering in
labor unions and the misuse
OF labor welfare funds. The
charge was made that the
Republicans in the House Of
Representatives killed the bill
in order to keep alive the
racketeering issue growing
out of the shocking revela-
tions by the Mcclellan Senate
committee.
The vote on the bill showed
1877 Republicans and 81
Democrats voting against,
and 149 Democrats and Al
Republicans voting for the
measure.
This, by the way, is the big
issue the Republicans are
hammering home in the pres
ent campaign. They charge
that it was the undercover
manipulation of the Demo-
Gratis, who in the Senate ap-
peared to welcome such re-
medal legislation to halt
racketeering and in the
House effectually hamstrung
the legislation, that killed the
bill.
