Labor Demands May
Force Railroads to
Seek Higher Rates
Any increase in labor costs In
excess of 10 cents an hour will
force the railroads to ask for fur
ther rate increases, the carriers
warned the presidential fact
finding board lhat is weighing
the wage and hours demands of
16 unions representing one mil-
non non-operating employees.
In a brief filed with the board
December 2, Guy W. Knight of
Philadelphia, chief counsel for
the carriers' wage committees,
said that the 13 per cent Increase
in freight rates now pending be
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission "will not produce ad.
equate earnings for the railroads
if the - employees are granted
more than a wage increase of 10
cents per hour."
The non-operating unions ask
ior a zo-cent an nour boost in
wages, 48 hours pay for 40 hours
work, time and one-half for Sat
urdays and double time for Sun
days and holidays, with a mini
mum of 8 hours pay at the over
time rate for any work performed
on those days.
The railroads estimate the cost
of the unions' demands at one
and one-nait billion dollars an
nually. Hearings which have been in
progress at Chicago since Octo
ber 26 were concluded November

Pedestrian Death
Rate Big in Three
Month Traffic Count
Approximately one-third of the
traffic fatalities that will occur
in Oregon during the months of
November and December, 1948,
and January, 1949, will be pedes
trians, the Oregon State Motor
association said today.
Based on past experience, the
association said the pedestrian
toll for the final two months of
the year and the first month of
the new year will amount to 32
ner cent of the total traffic fatal
ities reported for that period.
"Inclement weather conditions,
more hours of darkness, and the
excitement of the holiday season
contribute heavily to the heavy
pedestrian death toll during the
months, November, December and
January," the association said.
'These three months annually
contribute the heaviest toll of
pedestrian deaths.
'These fatalities could be pre
vented if motorists and persons
on foot would recognize the dom
inant hazards of the period and
take the simple steps necessary
to neutralize them."
Here are the dominant hazards
listed by the association as en
dangering the person on foot dur
ing the three winter months:
1: Darkness and the pedes
trian's failure to realize the mo
torist may not see him, regard
less of the brilliance of the car's
lights.
2: Unsafe walking practices
isuch as stepping out between
! parked cars, stepping into the
' path of approaching vehicles,
crossing streets against traffic
! lights or at mid-block.
3: The effects of alcohol in
i both drivers and pedestrians,
4: The fact that persons who
jdo not drive, fail to understand
the rate at which approaching
'cars cover ground. They thus
j walk into danger they don't real
lize exists.
5: Failure on the part of driv
ers to consider the rights and
feelings of the person on foot.
The association urged pedes
trians and motorists to remember
these hazards during the holiday
season and to share the respon
sibility for preventing this type
of accident

lated thanks for a sizeable con

is 19.
The nutrients designated by
prescribed standards was consid
ered in part to replace those re
moved in bran and middlings
during manufacture of white
flour. Enrichment legislation does
not discourage the use of whole
wheat, it does not discourage the
continued incorporation of milk
in bread, nor does it discourage
the use of any wholesome food
in any way.
The vitamins added are recog
nized as being the most import
ant of those human nutrients and
usually found lacking in low di
ets. The vitamins used to enrich
bread and natural vitamins are
identical.
Bread, was selected for enrich
ment for three reasons: it is bas
ic it is eaten in quantity at every
meal and it is a thriftv food
Therefore enrichment of bread
and flour is the thriftiest and
easiest way to provide import -'P
nutrients without changing food
habits.
The cost of enriching bread for
20 loaves of bread is about 1 cent
and is absorbed by the baker
thus not raising cost to consumer.
State legislation is needed be
cause federal legislation governs
only those products that go into
interstate trade. Approximately
907, of all baker's bread is sold
within the state in which it is
made. If that state does not re
quire enrichment, bakers (be
cause of competition) may not
enrich their least expensive pro
ducts. Yet it is these products
which the low income group byys
and which constitute a large Dart
of their diet. Enrichment is low
cost insurance against certain
nutritional ills.
