F.mily lumber mill operation of Boise-Cascade Corp. and the man ager said a shortage of boxcan was responsible. "We ordered eight cars this morning and got only one," said Gale Beals, who added that Boise Cascade's Elgin plant was facing the same problem. The plants are served by Union Pacific. If the shortage continues, he said, there will be further layoffs as lumber piles up on the loading docks to the point that production curtailment is needed. Recently Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield said in a message to the Inter state Commerce Commission that a shortage of rail cars had been plaguing Oregon shippers. He said he understood it was due to East ern railroads failing to return empties to their Western owners, and he asked for an investigation. A Union Pacific spokesman said the shortage was of wide and double-door cars and had been plaguing railroads for four months. He said Union Pacific had $14 million worth of new double door cars on order. The ICC chairman, Everett Hutchinson, advised Hatfield that with carloading at a peak for the year, there were shortages of double door cars everywhere. The Mt. Emily plant's lack of cars will be for only a day, Union Pacific said, its order for Wednes day being readied for delivery to night. be worth $500 now.

E.PINE AND LANE PHONE OR 2-2611 SP Workers Get Job Guarantee WASHINGTON fAP)-A guaran teed lifetime job or equivalent wage has agreed to by Southern Pacific Hailroad and the Order of Railroad Telegraphers for current telegraphic employes. The clause was included in a settlement that could become the basis for future agreements in an industry marked by large employe cutbacks in recent years. Terms of the agreement, worked out over the weekend by the La bor Department, were released .Monday by department officials. They included, among other things: The present 9i6 telegraphic em ployes of Southern Pacific are guaranteed a job or equivalent wages for the rest of their lives. Any new employes in the divi sion will, if their jobs are abol ished, receive 60 per cent of pay for five years regardless of wheth er they find new jobs outside the industry. The railroad can abolish tele graphic jobs only if it proves the necessity, and only a maximum of 20 lobs per year. Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goklberg hailed it as a "landmark settlement." Southern Pacific officials in San Francisco said there would be no immediate comment. But George Leighty. president of the Telegiaphers Union, de clared "this goes far beyond any job stabilizaton agreement ever reached before. In the past five years V. 8. railroads many of them financi ally hard pressed have slashed jobs from 1.2 million to 8110,000. And, they contend, there still are many unnecessary jobs. The union, in 3' a years of ne gotiations, twice called for strikes to back up its demands. The lat est, set for Oct. 19, was delayed by a court order.
