P h on e 292k DANCE and ev ery FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1948 A nd it occurred to me that there’s nothing more typically American than collecting other folks* opin ions, as well as giving out with one’s own. And from where I sit, it’s a mighty healthy habit. So long as people can discuss both sides of a question that comes up — w hether it concerns sh ort skirts versus long, beer compared D E LA Y ? Have the kind of Hail In- •«nance you need. Your crops are valuable this year. Protect them. See us today. M ister?" Fellow from one of those public opinion polls was in Andy’s Garden Tavern, querying Andy’s patrons on everything from that “new look” to the next election. WHY with cider, or the larger issues of party versus party— we’re sure of the individual liberty that has made this country great. GR E T A H . L . M O R R IS TY G H V A L L E Y , OREGON 309 E. Secmnd Street The Dalles, Oregon For it isn’t differences of opinion th at m atter. The im portant thing is tolerance for differences of opin ion— whether they affect the right of an individual to vote, to speak his mind, or enjoy a glass of beer. They’re all parts of the freedom that we cherish I « (/ y ’. ‘M uj £ Couvridtt. 1948.. United Stales Brewers Foundation In contrast, this small group of railroad union leaders are attempting to flout the intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act, and dictate their own terms. They have dictated a paralyzing railroad Strike. You will be the victim! How long will the American public stand for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive use of the right to strike and the disregard of the obligation to provide transportation? How long can the American people permit a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the processes provided for peaceful settlement of disputes? Force seldom produces settlements that are either fair or lasting. Moreover, a point is often reached when personal interests must be held subordinate to the greater public welfare. That is why the railroads have ac cepted the Emergency Board recommenda tions. That is also why the leaders of these three unions should reconsider their decision to call a paralyzing strike. Look who gets squeezed ! Union leaders representing less than one-tenth of railroad employes reject recommendations of President’s Emergency board— refuse to negotiate except on their own terms— threaten to paralyze nation by strike! 27,000 new arms to carry Reddy Kilowatt J! _ / - - OB P eople every w h ere w a n t m ore of R eddy K ilo w att, y o u r h ard -w o rk in g , low -cost electric serv an t.

THE leaders of three railroad unions, rep resenting less than one-tenth of all railroad employees, have called a railroad strike that would paralyze the nation. These leaders refuse to accept a lS ^ cents an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem ber 1, 1947 This increase was recommended by an impartial Emergency Board appointed by President Truman. This increase of 15^ cents already has been accepted by the 19 other railroad unions. But the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Switchmen’s Union of North America won’t accept what more than 90% of all railroad employes have accepted. They have called a strike to get more! Unions refuse rules discussion Certain rules changes demanded by these union leaders— which would increase wages still further — were recommended by the Board. But the union leaders want more— they demand that the railroads pat into effect ALL the changes they asked for, including those the Board felt should bfe denied. On top of this, they Insist that certain rules rhanges proposed by the railroads be wjth- drawn—in spite of the fact that the Board recommended them! These union leaders have refused to negotiate except upon these arbitrary terms. after hearing evidence for 33 days, made recommendations based on all the facts in the case. The railroads have accepted these recommendations. Who’s to blame? Although they deplored so large an extra cost burden, the railroads accepted the report of the Board because they felt it was in the pub lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of the Railway Labor Act Compare these wages with what you make! Here is a comparison of average annual earnings of engineers and fireman for 1939 (p r e-w a r ) and 1947. Also shown is what 1947 earnings would have been if the 15*4 cents per hour increase, of fered by the railroads and rejected by the u n io n le a d e r s , h a d been in effect through out the entire year Typ« •( Emplayt ENGINEERS IMSA»» rag» 1M7 Anrat» A»»«al (a rn in |i Annual Earning« 1147 A nrafa l i m i Eirningi with Wjg« lacraaut Rtrnwwmg.g by PratlSaal'a |«arS Road Freight ................ $3,965 (Local and Way) Road Passenger .............. 3.632 Road Freight (Through) 3,147 1B.152 $ 6 ,7 8 5 5.391 4,682 6,025 Yard ................................. 2,749 4,075 4,740 FIREMEN Road Freight ................$2.735 $4,721 16,310 (Local and Way) .
