SOROPTIMIST MEET
A District Conference of the
Soroptimist Clubs of Northern
California was held at the Hotel
Fresno. Fresno. California on Oct.
27. Representing the Soroptimist
Club of Greenville were Ann Bid-
well. President; Ruth Cliff. Dele-
gate; and Marjorie Casteel, Alter-
hate Delegate.
Inspiring talks on Soroptimism
were given by Regional and Dis-
trict Directors of the Soroptimist
Clubs. The following are only a
few of the projects undertaken by
the organization and the seI"Vices
being rendered to the communities
at home and abroad.
Through a fellowship fund. ex-
ceptional women students have
been given grants of money en-
abling them to continue their
studies in the professions. 380
members of the Southwestern Re-
gion have willed their eyes that
others might see. All but two clubs
of this Region have joined the
American Association of United
Nations. Contacts have been es-
tablished between American and
overseas clubs for the purpose of
furthering international under-
standing and many clubs are send-
ing gifts to their overseas sisters.
Financial aid is being given to a
women's medical college by the
American Federation of Soropti-
mist Clubs. In addition to this,
each club has its own local pro-
jects.
The Greenville Delegates
brought back to their Club a bet-
ter understanding of the world
scope of Soroptimism.
THREE-YEAR SURVEY
OF DEER RANGES
TO ST/glT SOON
Representatives of three State
and Federal agencies have com-
)leted plans for a research pro-
ject to determine the revegetation
possibilities of overbfowsed deer
ranges in northeastern California.
The three-year survey is ex-
pected to get under way next
spring, and will 'be financed large-
ly with California's share of Fed-
eral tax monies on firearms and
ammunition under the Pittman-
Robertson Act Cooperating agen
cies are the California Depart-
ment of Fish and Game, U. S.
Forest Service. and the Califor-
nia Forest and Range Experiment
Station.
,August L. Hormay of the Ex-
neriment Station stated that the
group will consider artificial re
seeding of bitterbrush and other
deer browse species, but that re-
seeding is not believed to be a
cure-all for critical range deplet-
ion. It is more important, he as-
serted, to take care of existing
browse stands, rather than to re-
seed.
It takes about 25 years under
ideal conditions to get any sort
of replacement of bitterbrush
stand, Hormay said, according to
the best available knowledge.
These ideal conditions should in-
clude some degree of protection
from livestock and deer grazing,
he believes.

Railroad workers are represented by 23 standard
unions. By mutual agreement, 20 of these unmns--com-
prisiny about 1,200,000 men, or more than 90cry--are
working under wages and rules agreed.to by them and
the railroads. But leaders of three umons--w.th only
about 130,000 men, or less than lO°--still refuse, after
o

more than a year of rgotmtions, to accept similar
wage and rules agreedJents. These are even mor)
favorable than the terms recommended by the Emer-
gency Board appointed by the President.
Time

S
ere
Yes, it certainly seems to be finally about time that the leaders of the three unions stop their
delaying tactics--their quibbling. But the leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway Conductors
continue to refuse. They continue a course of diilying and dallying. It is definitely time to
On June 15, 1950, an Emergency Board
appointed by the. President under the
terms of the Railway Labor Act--an Act
largely fathered by the unions themselves
--made its recommendations on certain
wage and working conditions ("rules" in
railroad language) which had been in dis-
pute between employes and the railroads.
More Than 90 of'Employes Accept
Since then, terms equal to or better than
the Board recommendations have been
a_ccepted by about 1,200,000 rd em-
ployes--more than 90 of the of all
workers. They are represented by 20 of
the 23 standard railroad unions.
Less Than 10o Refuse
But three unions--with about 130,000
men, or less than 10 of the totaI--have
refused to accept, even after months of
negotiations. These three unions are the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, and the Order of Railway
Conductors. These are three of the so-
called "operating" unions. Already the
highest paid men in the industry, their
leaders demand still further advantages
over other workers.
In all, there are about 270,000 operating
employes. But not all of them, by any
means, are represented by BLE, BLF&E,
or ORC. As a matter of fact, less than
haif--132,000 to be exact--are in these
three unions. More than half--about
140,000--are in other unions, principally
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
What makes the whole situation so hard
to understand is that these 140,000 op-
erating employes are working under wages
and rules which the leaders of the other
130,000 say they cannot agree to.
What Do the Railroads Offer?
They offer these three unions the same
settlement which was contained in a Mem-
orandum of Agreement signed at theWhite
House on December 21, 1950, by four
'brotherhoods and the railroads. Later
these brotherhoods sought to repudiate
this agreement. But on May 25, 1951, the
Brother_hood of Railroad Trainmen igned
a complete agreement carrying out the
principles of the Memorandum Agreement
of December 21. They have been working
under this agreement since May 25.
What About Wages?
Under the terms of the agreement, yard
engineers, firemen and conductors would
now be receiving a wage increase of $.34
an hour ($2.72 a day) and road engimmrs,
firemen and conductors would now be re-
eeiving an increase of 19 cents an hour
($1.56 per day). Large sums of retroactive
pay have already accrned and ifth e agree-
ment is carried out, will be paid promptly.
What About "Cost of Living" Increases?
The White House Agreement includes an
"escalator" clause under which wages will
be geared to changes in the Government's
cost-of-living index. Two such increases
--April and July, 1951 --have already been
paid to the 90 of railroad employes cov-
ered by signed agreements. ,
What About the 40.Hour Week ?
The White House Agreement calls for the
establishment of the 40-hour week in prin-
ciple, for employes in yard service. The
employes can have it any tithe after Jan-
uary 1, 1952, provided the manpower sit-
uation is such that the railroads can get
enough pen to perform the work with
reasonable regularity at straight time
rates. If the parties do not agree on the
_question of availability of manpower, the
White House Agreement provides arbitra-
tion by areferee appointed by the President.
What Else Do the Union
Leaders Demand ?
The continued quibbling of the leaders of
the three unions has to do principally with

rules changes, which have ah'eady been
dmmtO by the Brotherhood of Railroad
en. Of these, tim principal one
seems to be that having to do with so-
called "interdivisional service"--runs
which take in two or more sec[z'rity dis-
tricts.
The union leaders would bar progress
efficiency in the industry, and better
service to the public, by maintaining a
situation where they can arbitrarily stop
a railroad from establishing such inter-
divisional runs. The carriers propose that
if a railroad wishes to set up an inter-
divisional run, the railroad and the unions
should try to agree on such run and the
conditions which should surround its es-
tablishment, and if the railroad and the
unions can't agree, the matter will be sub-
mitted to arbitration.
But the three union leaders still refuse.
Rules Can Be Arbitrated
The railroads have not only offered these
three unions the same rules agreed to by
the BRT and covered by the White House
Agreement, but have even agreed to sub-
t such rules to arbitration.
The Industry Pattern Is Fixed
With the pattern so firmly established in
the railroad industry, it seems fair to sug-
gest that the leaders of BLE, BLF&E,
and ORC stop their quibbling and take
action to make the railroad labor picture
100 complete. Certainly today's eco-
nomic and international situation calls for
a united front. And certainly no good rea-
son has been advanced why these three
unions should be preferred over all other
railroad employes,
