Foreign Underground Man
Goes Unchecked By Agents
Vailcv Stream. N. Y.. JUne 26
U.R) There is at large in this
country today a man who went
underground 26 years ago, be
came an organizer, and has been
spreading a foreign speleology
ever since.
He is Robert Jacques de Joly.
At 63, he is wiry, thin-faced.
His tweed suit has a circular
thermometer pinned under the
right lapel flap. He carries a
pocket knife that has a hook,
saw, can opener, scissors, screw
driver, punch, corkscrew, and
one blade.
Headed for Canada
He has visited 20 states with
out seeing an FBI man or senate
subcommittee. He is believed
headed for the Canadian border
today, equipped with a barom
eter, hydrometer, anemometer, a
piece of lead, length of rope,
and three compasses.
He plans to do some under
ground work near Montreal this
week.
Joly Is president of the societe
speleological de France. Speleol
ogy is the science of the study
of caves. Joly has explored 876
caves and will organize a search
for you at the drop of a bankroll.
But only about one out of 550 is
worth organizing, he said in an
interview.
Speaking speleologicaliy, an
"organized" cave is a commer
cialized one. It's fitted for tour
ists with rails, concrete stairs,
paths, and lights. A hep speleol
ogist wouldn't touch one with a
SOO-foot sounding line. Speleolo
gists there are about 3,000 en
thusiasts in the world go for
exploring unorganized caves.
Made Broadcast
Joly, who recently received
the Legion of Honor, organized
the French Speleological society
in 1930. It has 1.000 members.
Last week he crawled into' an
unorganized cave near Climax,
N. Y and. made a broadcast for
the V. S. state department over
the Voice of America to the
French-speaking people of the
world.
Joly dropped into 10 U. S.
eaves on the way
Monterrey, Mexico, where last
month he attended the interna
tional speleological conference.
"You have the size, but in Eu
rope we have the colors," he
said. "When the stalagmite is
growing, she is white. When she
is old, the iron comes out and
makes the colors."
Most Magnificent Cave
He said the most magnificent
cave in Europe Is the Aven
D'Orgnac (Pothole of Orgnac),
which is owned by Orgnac vil
lage and of which he is the di
rector. It was organized just be
fore the last war and opened
after the war.
Joly said he has had "65 ad
ventures." One was the setting
of a French record for the long
est drop into a natural cave. He
descended 600 feet straight down
into a sink hole in a cave in the
Alps in 1929 without a stop, us
ing ladders which he hooked one
onto the other as he went.
If you've been thinking of
holing up in a cave during the
net war, you might as well give
the idea up. Joly said there just
aren't enough caves near big
population centers to accommo
date the people.
Speleologists have been sur
veying caves with the idea of.
building underground plants in
them to avoid atom bombing.
Joly said very few would do. For
one thing, a 300-foot ceiling is
required an dthat is very rare.
Out of 3,000 caves in France,
only about 10 would do for un
ground factories, he said.

ACRTTm'THTPUElK AND INDUSTRY AND AGRICUtTOKE SERVED BY 5 WESTERN RAILROADS
WsMfMtf Tnunoi's EMERGENCY BOARD recommends a 40-hour week and a pay increase
113 carts an boar, or $1.44 a day for switchmen represented by the Switchmen's Union
trf Uart fcmricm.
Notwithstanding the tremendous increase in their
expenses involved, the
Railroads' answer to Board is...
Union leaders' answer to Board is.
nnrPiO. n
In fata of Board findings to fhe contrary, onion leaders Insist on
48 hours pay for 40 hours work. This would be an average In
crease of 31 cents an hour, or $2.48 a day. So Union leaders
have called a completely unjustified strike on 5 Western rail
roads, effective June 25.
On Juno 16, an Emergency Board ap
pointed by President Truman under the
terms of tho Railway Labor Act recom
mended the railroads grant switchmen a
40-hour woek and a wage increase of 18
cent an hour, or $1.44 for an 8-hour day.
Dwpite tho added financial bunion in
volved, the railroads are roady to accept
these recommendations, a they have al
ways accepted Emergency Board recom
mendationa on national issues.
But the leaden of tho Switchmen's
Union rofuae to accent I They demand an
average increnne of 31 cunts an hour on
$2.48 A DAT although their present com
ings are substantially higlier than tlmso of
workers in other industries!
Board Says Demands (.Injimtilicd
In iU report, the Board declared this de
mand unjustified by all the evidence pre
sented. H also pointed out that it would
give the switchmen an unfair pay advan
tage over other groups of railroad em
ployes, and would add too great a burden
to railroad costs.
Hera is another case of a railroad union
flouting the findings of an Emergency
Board another case of calling a crippling
strike in an outrageous and reckless at
tempt to force demnnds which the Board
clearly Inhds ns unjustifiecrt
London of the Switchmen's Union an
calling this strike in dWinnce of the Boned
in defiance of the fact and nt the ea
penae of Hie public!
In its roxirt on this cane, tho Board
made this statement:
"The rastroasl Industry, she Sums' be
lieves, needs above on else a asrtud
relative stability to adfatt and adopt hsaM
to present compettttva pest war conaV
Hons."
IVapito this warning, Ute tenders of the
Switchmen's Union are apaptttrtg Use
apple-cart (orchis; a completely anjiisti
fied strike agniiwt everybody who uses the
railroads.
