Time Off Your Hands

TIME has a way of slipping
IL away from busy people
who often wish there were a
few more hours in the day. TAX
ing a cue from this perennial
problem, jewelry manufacturers
have designed some elegant ac-
cessories studded with time
pieces to remind the user that
it's later than he thinks. While
the wrist-watch retains its popu-
larity as a time-seller, these new
watch spots have tickled the
fancy of the gadget-loving set
and provided a fresh supply of
gifts for the man or woman who
has everything.

Important testimony in support
Of the unions request for q wags

for the nations railroad Dining
Car Employees was presented to
a three-man Presidential fact
finding) Board by International
Vice-President Richard w. Smith
of the AFL-CIO Hotel & Restaur-
ant Employees and Bartenders In
ternational Union.
Smith appeared as the repre-
sentative Of the Joint Council Of
Dining Car Employees, Of which
he is Secretary-Treasurer
Following his testimony, he
pointed out that the Dining Car
Employees, who are pressing their
demands for improvements In
cooperation with ten (10) other
railroad labor unions, have al
ways set the pattern for improve
ments affecting other Negro rail-
road workers"
The wages and other condi-
tons of Pullman Porters, and the
Walters and Cooks of the Penn
and B & o, which are not repre-
sented, or appearing, before the
Board will be affected by the
Boards recommendation. Thus,
over the years, the Joint Council
Of Dining Car Employees has blaz-
ed the trail for increased wages
and other improvements for Ne
gro railroad workers, as we have
been the only organization repre-
senting these groups Of workers
that has been able to participate
In national railroad negotiations"
Eleven Unions
The IL unions are seeking q
wage increase Of 20 cents an hour;
maximum paid vacations Of four
weeks annually; two additional
holidays, for a total Of nine paid
holidays a year; improvements in
the organizations health and well
fare program; and life insurance
at no cost to the employee.
Smith was the only Negro rail-
road labor leader to appear before
the Presidential Board. He told the
Board that the duties and re-
probabilities of employees has
steadily increased over the yeara"
Also, he submitted evidence
that Dining Car Employees spend
from 400 to 600 hours per month
away from home under either alb
solute or partial control Of the
railroad that employs them"
Smith told the Board that the
unusual conditions which confront
Dining Car Employees underline
the need for granting the organiza-
TONS requests for improvements.
