NLRB ORDERS
E
WASHINGTON, July 18 (AP)
The National Labor Relations
board announced yesterday
decision and direction of elec
tions among mill employes of
Weyerhaeuser Timber company,
Klamath Falls, Ore. In a ma
jority decision the board ruled
that a question concerning rep
resentation should be determ
ined despite a collateral Juris
dictional dispute between two
AFL unions.
Elections were ordered . as
soon as possible within 30 days
to determine (1) whether ma
chine shop workers, including
all electricians, car men, mill
wrights, and their helpers wish
ed representation by Lumber
and Sawmill Workers union,
Local 3026 (AFL), the Interna
tional Woodworkers of America,
Local 6-12 (CIO), the Interna
tional Association of Machinists,
Lodge No. 1437 (AFL), or by
none of these; (2) whether re
maining production and main
tenance employes of the mill
operations of the company wish
ed representation by Lumber
and sawmill Workers of Amer
ica (AFL); by International
Woodworkers of America (CIO),
or by neither.
Should a majority of the
workers in the machine shop
seiect tne iam that will remain
a separate unit. Should a ma
jority choose the same repre
sentative as chosen by a ma
jority of the remaining produc
tion workers then the machine
shop workers would be included
in the larger industrial unit as
the appropriate bargaining
agency.
Local leaders of both tho AFT.
and CIO today received official
notification from the national
labor relations board nt tha
Weyerhaeuser election order.
xney said the election has
been ordered held within an
days of July 15.
The pending poll Is regarded
by labor leaders as one of the
most Important NLRB elections
in the hlstorv of nnlnnlim In
Klamath county. The CIO sev-
e i monuis ago won bargain
ing rights for Weyerhaeuser
wooas employes.

a result of the unlimited demands
of war time. If war booms could
be prevented, it might be pos
sible to avoid AFTER THE
WAR crashes.
That, at least, was the thought
back of the idea of establishing
price ceilings.
TET'S try a simple Illustration.
Hot air rises.
It can be PREVENTED from
rising by putting a ceiling over
it IF THE CEILING IS TIGHT.
But If there are HOLES in. the
ceiling the hot air will rise
THROUGH THE HOLES, prac
tically as if there were no ceil
ing.
TN war time, prices, like hot
air, TEND TO RISE. .
If a price ceiling were placed
over them, it might be possible
to keep war time prices from
rising, just as it is possible to
keep hot air from rising by
putting a ceiling over It,
But only If there were NO
HOLES IN THE CEILING.
Canada is trying out a ceiling
with no holes in it, and it seems
to be working.
But our ceiling has holes in
It. One hole Is provided for
wages. Another hole is provid
ed for farm prices. -
pOR that reason, it is extremely
doubtful if our price celling
will work.
If it DOESN'T work, we shall
find ourselves plunged head
over heels Into the inflation
whirlpool.

Handling Capacity
By 80 Per Cent
(Continued from Page One)
us what It was w thought he
said eight per cent.
But 80 It is and this is about
as good a time as any to tell
you that the GN Is spending
1100,000 on an expansion pro
gram already under way which
will connect their Whltellne and
South Klamath yards with three
miles of new track, provide
added icing facilities tor
through and local freight, cover
the construction of a new 1200-
foot "Wye," and pay for build
ing several new trestles, con
crete culverts and platforms.
All of this will "expedite and
facilitate, freight handling ap
preciably," which doesn't tell
you or anyone else who might
want to know more definitely
Just how much. But the quotes
com from a GN guy who ought
to know, '
Jammed
; Over at the other" end of
town the Southern Pacific hasn't
been doing badly either. They
were already jammed almost to
the gun'la and we hope they
don t mind the Insertion of a
nautical term before the
cherry blossom boys stabbed us
in the region of Christmas last.
But the SP reports a freight
handling increase of 20 per cent
since BPH.
And a good thing it was that
they already had under way on
uecemoer 7 a track enlarge
ment program destined to boost
their handling facilities close to
100 per cent. The job Is com
pleted now and comes in mighty
handy. Which la probably an
understatement.
But the Southern Pacific in
addition to freight has the re
sponsibility of hauling live rev
enue in the form of both busy
businesa men scurrying about
making more business for trans
portation and busy soldiers who
are back of it all. In the pass
enger department the SP re
ports a 50 per cent Jump in the
past year.
Surprised?
Maybe you're surprised at all
this and maybe you're not.
Either way, you're probably
thinking so what So how do
I know the railroads are doing
a good job? Maybe with all
their increases they're doing
only half a job. Maybe 50 per
cent of the nation's freight is
standing idle waiting for box
cars or bottoms.
In that case we'll have to
refer you to either (a) Mr. East
man (b) the nearest shipper or
consignee you find or (c) your
ireign. agent. Or better sUU,
all three. Mr. Eastman says the
railroaders are doine all rleht.
and don't think he wouldn't say
so If they weren't. Your ship
per will report he's not being
Inconvenienced. And your
freight agent can tell you al
most to the hour when your
dox ot cooKies win arrive at ;
Fort Lewis, Camp Roberts or '
Nome.
Cars Adequate
Officials of both the SP inri
GN say that car supplies are
adequate. None standing on the j
iracKs, you understand. But an
adequate number to handle all
business.
And who's responsible for all
this? Well. It's "Casev" Jones.
ien-uay" O'Reilly. "Hee-Haw I
Mike" and a couple of hundred j
thousand others like him. Rail-1
roaders.
Gents who. if they're work
ing for the SP on the Klamath
division, are drawing down
$135,000 per month instead of
$90,000 as they were at this
time last year. Or who have
been responsible for a 60 per
cent boost In the GN'a local
operation payrolls.
There are 400 Great Northern
checks Issued now to 320 last
July. Precisely, or almost, 25
per cent more. This means, if
we went to the right schools,
that each employe is earning
considerable more than he did
last year. In December he and
all his fellow workers over the
country' were granted pay in
creases by a mediation board
decision. On top of that he's
putting in some overtime which
pays time and one-half.
Because of accounting pro
cedure and its tie-up with other
departments, nobody at the SP
could give us the exact em
ploye - total. Nevertheless, it's
larger by perhaps twice or
thrice that of the GN.
Those are the guys who
"never knew what they could
do until they had to do It."
'- . Dark Cloud
There's a tiny dark cloud
peeking around the silver lin
ing, however. Manpower. That
army the boys are working so
hard to supply figures that if
they can do a Job like they're
doing for the railroads, they
can most certainly do a Job
for the army.
The draft ' has already cut
away most of the manpower
reserve and has bitten straight
into the railroad ranks. Right
now both roads are employing
high school youths and recalling
a few pensioned ex-railroaders.
When school opens In the fall
there are going to be more than
Just several unfilled jobs.
And the drafting of married
men is not helping much.

capture of Voroshilovgrad, about

boards have been very fair and
they wouldn't have It any other
way. But the bucket is fast

still a lot of tanks, guns and

Nobody has suggested It yet
but, if no other solution is

ought to settle that backseat
