Fewer Workers
rikAHiirinn
VII IIIV VMIMII u M urn m
Washington U.R) Fewer
' workers went on strike in 1954
than in any previous year since
World War II.
The Labor Department said
the number of strikes this year
was estimated at 3450. This was
a little more than the 1948 post
war low of 3419.
But in actual numbers of men
on strike, and days per man lost
from, strike idleness, this year
brought a postwar low.
The department said strikes
beginning this year directly af
fected, about 1,500,000 workers,
and caused an estimated 22,000,
000 man-days of idleness. This
was a drop of about one-third
from the number of workers on
strike last year and a cut of
about one-fifth in the 1953 man
days lost through walkouts.

Klamath Group
Urges Delay in
Pact With Copco
Sacramento, Calif. (U.PJ
The California Klamath River
commission has urged the U. S.
Interior Secretary to withhold
immediate approval of any pow
er contract on Upper Klamath
Lake until it can be included
in an interstate stream compact.
The commission said with
holding of approval should ex
tend to the proposed renewal
or extension of the present California-Oregon
Power company
contract.
Framework Taking Form
" The commission said the
framework of a two-state com
pact is beginning to take form.
"It is evident that any decis
ion with regard to the develop
ment of additional hydroelec
tric power on the Klamath river
between Keno and Copco lake
will be a key consideration in
formulation of any such pact,"
the commission said.
A resolution adopted . by , the j
commission said numerous
agencies have yet to be heard
from. It said two principal un
known quantities regarding fu
ture irrigation appear to be the
Klamath Indian reservation in
Oregon , and the Butte Valley
and Oklahoma areas in' Calif
ornia. Lack of Control Cited
- "Certain provisions in the
California-Oregon Power com
pany application, including the
lack of proper provision for con
trol of flow on the Upper and
Lower Klamath river might re
strict or even preclude the eco
nomic feasibility of developing
those areas," the California com
mission said.
The six man commission was
set up by the state legislature.
Its chairman is William G. Hat
elstein, Dorris, Calif.
Military Pay Raise
Would Benefit Few
Washington (U.R) Only
about 27 per cent of the Army's
enlisted men would benefit from
the military pay raises Presi
dent Eisenhower will submit to
Congress next month.
The reason is that no pay
boosts will be given to officers
and men having less than two
years service. But those with
longer service will get raises
ranging from 1.23 per cent of
the Army's officers and to all
but an estimated 18,000 Navy'
personnel and 200,000 Air Force
men. r '
The military pay raise, plus
some new "fringe benefits," will
cost the taxpayers about $750,
000,000 a year, but this could be
offset largely by the 403,000
man cut the President has or
dered in the size of the armed
forces.
