Rail Workers
RaIIyAgainst
Carrier Attack

Milwaukee, Wis.-The railroad
industry's fredericksburg" charg-
es are concocted "out of the same
Madison Avenue hot air" as the
steel industry's futile attack on
work rules, union leader told
1000 rail workers who plowed
through a 9-inch snowstorm to
attend a mass rally here.
Assistant Pres. S. C. Phillips of
the Locomotive Firemen & Engine
men, principal speaker at the rally
sponsored by % rail brotherhoods
and maintenance crafts, challenged
railroad management to drop its
vicious and misleading" propa-
ganda campaign and get down to
serious collective bargaining.
Meanwhile in Washington, where
the Railway Labor Executives As
ISOLATION held a four-day meeting,
RLEA Chairman G. E. Leighty
told a news conference that the
steel settlement in effect pulled
the rug out from under the rail
road industry. He said the agree
ment improves the chances of ne
gotiating a rail settlement without
a strike.
Labor's victory in steel, Leighty
said, should be an indication to
railroad management that neither
American labor nor the American
public in general will ever per-
NIT a return to the jungle days
Of railroad operation when man
agement alone was the sole Judge
of what constituted proper and
safe working conditions.
The rally, one of a series to
demonstrate rail labor's solidarity
in principal railroad centers
throughout the nation, brought
pledges Of support from civic lead
ers and the states labor movement.
The rally heard:
State AFL-CIO Pres. George A.
Haberman, who promised the
united moral and financial sup
port" of Wisconsin labor to the
railroad workers and their unions.
This is not your fight alone. This
fight belongs to all Of labor. We
must stand side by side"
1t. Gov. PhilIeo Nash CD who
compared the use of the mislead-
ing term "featherbedding" to the
equally misleading phrase fright
to-work," both used by anti-labor
propagandists. He pointed out
that attacks on railroad workers
come at a time when their pro-
ductivfty "has reached an all-time
high, exceeding that of all other
industries"
Mayor Frank P. Zeidler of Mil
waukee, who blasted Wholesale
abandonments" of passenger serv-
ice and urged federal assistance
for needed commuter facilities.
Zeidler said rail management is
making a big mistake in attack

South Central
Conference Race
Warming Up

Itta Bena, Miss.-Mid-term ex-
afninations stood the world of bas-
ketball in the S. C. A. Conference
on edge and caused coaches to
raise eyebrows and shift combina-
tions to try and keep their teams
intact for the remaining of the
basketball season.
Last week-ends play caused Mis-
sissippi Vocational College to gain
percentage points on Alcorn Col
lege, now in third place, but other
conference teams remained the
same.
Jackson State College, S. w. A.
C. team split with two of the S. C.
A. c. teams, by winning from AL
corn 97-89 and losing to Missis-
sippi Vocational College 77-76.

Rico, spoke to the 1t. Governor
of Hawaii, James X. Kealoha, on
another line.
The conversation between the
two men demonstrated how a bust
ness or personal call could hop
scotch 5000 miles from the At
lantic to the Pacific in a matter
of seconds. A party in San Juan,
for example, now merely picks up
his phone and gives the operator
the Honolulu number he's calling.
Within seconds the called telephone
is ringing.
Before today's cable opening,
radio circuits provided the only
telephone service from the u. S.
mainland to Puerto Rico.
Operators in the United States
now can dial directly to all phones
in San Juan, which total IS per
cent of all phones on the island.
San Juan operators can dial direct
on 80 per cent Of all calls to the
II. S. and Canada.
1t was during last November
and this January that the twin
cables-one for each direction of
speech-were laid by the veteran
cableship Monarch.
The systems terminal buildings
are at West Palm Beach, Fla. and
San Juan, a distance of 1,25O miles.
Before the Monarch began deep
sea operations, the cables were
dropped beneath the waters, of the
intra-coastal waterway and buried
underground across Palm Beach.
About rs miles northwest OF
Puerto Rico, the cables drop to
depth of five miles, into the Mil
waukee Deep, which is the deep
est point in the Atlantic Ocean.
It is part of a gaping, eel-shaped
crevice called the Brownson Deep.

Miles Mcmillan, associate editor
of the Capital Times of Madison,
Wis, who said the big advertising
agencies responsible for "the gil
gantic hoaxes perpetrated on tele-
vision and radio" are behind the
anti-union propaganda.
Phillips, in a detailed refutation
of management claims, told the
rally that the railroads were serv-
ing up the same charges 40 years
ago when he first went to work
in the industry. The only differ
ence, he said, was that then they
fused less expensive means" to air
their propaganda.

hoods that fought for and helped
bring about every safety regula-
ton and device we now take for
granted Labor's efforts to
improve railroad safety have al
ways been bitterly opposed by
railroad management at every
turn" Phillips declared.
A telegram from Leighty, read
to the meeting by Vice Pres. Glen
B. Goble of the Railway Clerks
who presided, declared the rail un-
ions are united solidly" in current
negotiations.
He declared: "In this fight, we
regard threat to any one of our
crafts as a threat to all, and we
are determined to defeat any eff
fort by management to divide us
by setting any one group of work
ers against the other"

ed" and that they must do their
part to help eliminate this
scourge."
Cali too frequently" Mr.. Meany
said, "our members have suffered
heart attacks and been faced with
a threat to their job security and
future employment"
The problem of such a worker
has been of great concern to the
American Heart Association, he
added, and significant advances
have been made to insure that
such a person is not deprived of
job.
"This, however, is only one as
pect of the Heart Associations
broad program of research, edu-
cation and community service
aimed at saving both lives and
jobs" said Mr.. Meany.
at is only proper that we in the
AFL-CIO recognize our stake in

Q.-How should I handle my
Coastal Bermuda sprigs at plant
ing?
A.-Keep the sprigs moist en-
ough 50 that they viii stay fresh.
Protect them from freezing. When
planting, leave only q small part
Of the sprig above the ground.
Q-Does It pay to feed corn
alone to hogs?
A--Experimental work shows
that one pound of protein supple
ment will save ak and four-tenths
pounds of corn. Putting it another
way, 100 pounds of grain requires
about 713 pounds of corn when 1t
is fed alone to hogs, compared to
about 329 pounds of complete
balanced ration. It doesn't pay to
feed corn alone.
Owe been using seed corn
from the crib. Should I consider
using a hybrid next year?
A recommended hybrid will
normally increase your yield from
Is to 25 percent. You viii also get
added benefits of stronger stalks,
better shuck coverage and more
weevil resistance from recommend
ed hybrids.
Q-Is there any way to tell II
the small grain or shelled corn is
keeping safely that / have stored
on my farm?
Ayes. Take a grain probe and
probe to all sections of the bin. If
you don't have a probe, reach in
with your hand as deeply as pos
sible from the top to check for heat
ing of the grain.
Q.-Does it pay to dock and cas-
trate lambs?
A.-Fat lambs that are not dock
ed and castrated will usually bring
about a dollar per hundred less.
Lambs that sell as feeders may
bring five to eight dollars per
hundred less if not locked and cas-
trated. The lambs will have little
or no setback If docked and cas-
trated when less than two weeks
old.
Q.-My child likes candy very
much. How much should / give
him?
Abe sure he is eating ell of
the foods he needs for growth and
health before giving him candy.
Then be sure that the candy does
not add more calories than he
needs.
Q.-What kind of sausage Is @
good buy?
A.-Sausage high in fat is gen
orally low in price but viii shrink
a good bit in cooking. The leaner
sausage viii cost more per pound
but is a more satisfactory product
Q.-Do need to be concerned
about lice and mites in my poultry
house at this time of the year?
Ayes. Check few of the hens
in the flock each week. Look around
the vent for lice. Look in crack,
and crevices around the house for
mites. If your house has roost
! poles, pry up one or two and look
underneath. For further informa-
ton, get a copy of Extension Pub
LEGATION 3O6.
Q.-When is the best time to
plant fruit trees?
A.-November and December is
considered the best time for plant
ing most fruit trees, although they
