October PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON RAILWAYMAN LACK SLOWS AW WORK Klamath Girl Photographer in Hollywood SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 10 (P) Lack of manpower on railroads in the eight western states re vealed itself as a vital weakness recently when army movements to the racmc incaicr were in creased. Col W. H. Hastings, command officer of the 9th transportation zone, told rail road executives, representatives of railroad brotherhoods, rail road retirement board officers and WMC and ODT officials at a meeting here yesterday. "The operating departments of several of the major systems found themselves almost unable to carry the load due to lack of manpower," he said. "These oc currences will become more fre quent, and with the advent of all out war in the Pacific after ces sation of hostilities in Europe. the load will become so great compared with the manpower available that the most serious consequences cannot help but follow." Colonel Hastings reported i shortage of 5000 railroad work' ers in the Pacific northwest with a deficit of twice this number in the Los Angeles area. "An increase of 38.6 per cent in the number of export cars found switch engines forced to remain idle in San Francisco ter minals for lack of yard crews, rail sidings tied up all through the western area as far as 300 and 400 miles from ports and in sufficient men available io man special military trains from Salt Lake City and Ogden. He said a national priority rating had been given recently for brakemen, switchmen and firemen needed by 13 western railroad lines, with indications that many additional crafts would be added to the list. John E. Gross, Denver, WMC deputy regional director, told the meeting there is little likelihood that the army will release ex perienced railroad men. He said that of 10,000 supposed miners released by the army, only about 1000 are in the mines now. A committee of the railroad men is preparing specific re quests to the national priorities board for awarding top priority rating for recruiting mechanics and other needed personnel.
