The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen and the Switchmen’s Union of North America, representing 125,000 railroad employes, have refused to accept the offer of the Railroads of a wage increase of IS# cents an hour. This is the same increase awarded 1,000,000 non-operating employes by an arbitration board in September, 1947. This is the same increase accepted by 175,000 conductors, trainmen and switch men by agreement on November 14, 1947. / •-ments have been made with 1,1 10 empl°y es - represented by nine teen unions. But these three unions, rep resenting only 125,000 men, are trying to get more. They are demanding also many new working rules not embraced in the settlement with the conductors and train men. Incidentally, the Switchmen’s Union of North America represents only about 7% of all railroad switchmen, the other 93% being represented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and covered by the settlement with that union. Strike Threat The leaders of these three unions spread a strike ballot while negotiations were still in progress. This is not a secret vote but is taken by union leaders and votes are signed by the employes in the presence of union representatives. When direct negotiations failed, the leaders of these three unions refused to join the railroads in asking the National Mediation Board to attempt to settle the dispute, but the Board took jurisdiction at the request of the carriers and has been earnestly attempting since November 24, 1947, to bring about a settlement. The Board on January 15, 1948, announced its inability to reach a mediation settle ment. The leaders of the unions rejected the request of the Mediation Board to arbitrate. The railroads accepted. What Now? The Unions having refused to arbitrate, the Railway Labor Act provides for the appointment of a fact-finding board by the President. The railroads feel it is due shippers, passengers, employes, stockholders, and the general public to know that through out these negotiations and in mediation, they have not only exerted every effort to reach a fair and reasonable settlement, but they have also met every requirement of the Railway Labor Act respecting the negotiation, mediation, and arbitration of labor disputes. It seems unthinkable that these three unions, representing less than 10 per cent of ra'lroad employes, and those among the highest paid, can successfully maintain the threat of a par alyzing strike against the interest of the en tire country—and against 90 per cent of their fellow employes. The threat of a strike cannot justify grant ing more favorable conditions to 125 000 em ployes than have already been put in effect for 1,175,000, nor will it alter the opposition of the railroads to unwarranted wage in creases or to changes in working rules which are not justified. A glance at the box shows what employes represented by the Engineers and Firemen make. They are among the highest paid in the ranks of labor in the United States, if not the highest. Compare these wages with what you make! 1 1W7 Averin Annul 1939 Avcr?(.i 1947 Averan Eirnints with IS'/z Here is a comparison of Type of Employi Aonjal Earnings Ainui Earnings Cents per Hour Addad average annual earn- ENGINEERS firemen for* U^39 8 (pre- ^^Way) $3 ' 966 $6 ’ 126 $6 ' 757 rhown n is whl 7 r 1947 Road Passenger 3,632 6,399 6,025 l 9 J,l Road Freight (Through). 3,147 4,684 5,169 b^m 1 ^ Y - d ....‘...2,749 4,081 4: 5 39 per hour increase, of- FIREMEN fered by the railroads Road Freight 2,738 4,683 5,268 and rejected by the (Local and Way) union leaders, had been Road Passenger 2,732 4,544 5,165 in effect throughout the Road Freight (Through). 2,069 3,460 3,891 entire year 1947.

By The Way - - ■ (Continued from page one) This weather is a little late for a white Christmas, but while thinking of Christmas, I am reminded of a letter I re ceived in the mail the other day, which I deeply appreciated. I do not think I deserve the kind words contained in the letter, because many did more than I on the Community Christmas Cheer Fund. However, I think the time has come to tell about the organization which is really responsible for the fund. The letter follows: “The Lucy B. Hunt Bible class wishes to thank you for your interest in and the assist ance given by you to help make the Christmas season more cheerful and happy for the less fortunate in our community. “The response of the public generally to this fund was very gratifying to those who had a part in it. Our class considered it a privilege to sponsor this worthy cause and we are sure that you contributed much to its success, both as a represen tative of ‘The Sun’ and by hav ing a personal interest in it. “Again, thanking you, we are Yours very truly, Lucy B. Hunt Bible Class.” Most of you know that this Bible class is an organization of the First Baptist church. . . . during the past week. Mrs. James M. Keith and children, James Jr., and Caro line, spent Tuesday in Colum bia visiting Mr. and Mrs. Bob Sharpe. Mary Frances Coleman, New berry College was a weekend visitor of the P. G. Colemans.

Loans! ON REAL ESTATE AUTOMOBILES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY NEWBERRY INSURANCE AND REALTY CO. NED PURCELL, Manager TELEPHONE 197 Exchange Bank Building The big climax to the March of Dimes campaign will be to night when the President’s Ball is held at the armory. Charlie Pruitt and his Sextet will fur nish the music. In case you naven’t heard this group, they are very good .... at least I thought they were when I heard them at the Clemson club dance before Christmas, and I am told they weren’t at their best that night. But even if it were just a “juke-box” dance, the cause for which you are buying tick ets is worth the price you pay. The Jaycees are again sponsor ing the March of Dimes cam paign for fight against infantile paralysis. They will appreciate your attendance at the dance (and I think everyone in New berry plans to be there) as well as your otherwise gener ous contributions. ... There are things even worse than “taking candy from a child.” Perhaps the child does n’t need tlje candy—but, well, here’s a story I ran across in Friday’s issue of The Greenville News: “An imposter yesterday at tempted to take the March of Dimes collection box from Wal- green’s drug store, but a quick thinking manager asked for his identification and foiled him. “Drive Co-Chairman Vardy Ramseur said the boxes would not be collected until the end of the campaign, January 30, and that those making collec tions would carry identification letters on stationery of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and signed by drive officials. “In view of thefts in nearby cities he urged businessmen at whose places boxes are placed to be on guard against thieves and imposters.” I was talking with Mrs. W. S Lominick the other day, and she told me that her son, Jack Pruitt, Jr., is now playing with Ken Harris’ orchestra in Atlan ta, Georgia. Jack, since his discharge from the army over a year ago, has been music direc tor at the Gaffney city schools. He was also violinist with the Charlotte symphony orchestra, and resigned both positions to accept the job in Atlanta. The Ken Harris orchestra is now playing at Atlanta’s Bilt- more hotel Empire Room, which I think is one of the nicest places for good food and. good entertainment I visited during my brief stay in that part of the country. Another of New berry’s sons, A. H. Clark, Jr., is also with the Harris band... I went over to the Veterans administration office Monday for a chat with Bob McLees, the contact representative who has been sent here to replace Mr. Mac. Bob says he is pleased to be In Newberry, but I don’t think he is going to be happy until he finds a place for his family to live. So, if you know of a three or four room unfurnished house or apartment. Bob will be happy to talk with you. Which Twin has the (and which has the beauty shop permanent ?
