Show V. BOXHOLDER WlRm Dragerton, Utah, Tuesday, June 27, 1950 Volume 3 Switchmens Walkout To Affect Local Mines The walkout of the 4000 switchmen on five major railroads including the D & RG will affect the coal mines in the East Carbon area. The mines were working Monday with the Kaiser mines at Sunnyside planning to work both Monday and Tuesday. At the Kaiser mines is a stock-pil- er which enables the company to mine the coal, keep it there until ready to be shipped and then automatically dumped into the -- railroad cars. The Kaiser Co. will continue to work if the UMW will allow them to move the coal as soon as the switchmens walkout is over. Thus it is possible that the . Kaiser mines may continue to work right up toathe vacation period starting July 1. The cause of the walkout is the issue of a 40 hour week; it is stated by the union that many of the men work a 48 and 56 hour week without overtime pay The railroads state that the issue is over compensation for the 40 hour week. The railroad spokesman further stated that few men work 56 hours and only those wanting to work the 48 hours do so. The union is asking 48 hours pay for a 40 hour week which is the equivalent to an hourly increase of 31c. One railroad, the Lackawanna and Delaware, Western railroad signed a contract which gives the men a 48 hour pay for a 40 hour week. The National Mediation board made a last minute plea to the unions to postpone the strike expressing fear that it would seriously -- interfere with negotiations involving the trainmens and conductors unions. This contract terminates on July 15 and may result in another nationwide strike which will affect the coal carrying roads. F.
