Show THURSDAY, JANUARY 3REM-GENEVA TIMES SPOTLIGHTING UTAH Solution Offered on Navajo Problem William E. Warne, Assistant Secretary of Interior, James Stewart, Superintendent of the Navajo reservation and A. W. O'Connell, Oregon packer, are conferring this week at Phoenix, Arizona, on a plan to provide employment for the Navajo Indians. In-dians. The project calls for i.iov-ing i.iov-ing the Indians to the Oregon berry fields where they can be used in the berry harvest. The Navajos have been facing starvation star-vation because of increased population pop-ulation and decreases in their flocks. The plan calls for the establishment first of an Indian village in the berry fields near Gresham, Oregon, where some 30 Indian families comprising approximately 300 Indians will be given an opportunity of proving prov-ing their value as berry field laborers. If the project is successful, success-ful, thousands of Navajo and Ho-pi Ho-pi Indians will be given employment employ-ment in the Oregon fields. Bridge Would Open Tourist Frontiers With the makeshift automobile ferry for crossing the Colorado river at Ilite hopelessly lost in the last big flood, the Department Depart-ment of Publicity and Industrial Development is probing the possibility pos-sibility of bridging the river to open new tourist frontiers.

Crawford of the PID, a natural bridge location lo-cation has been found eight miles above Hite.

L The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Engi-neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Eire-men Eire-men end 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 15i 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 switchmen switch-men by agreement on November 14, 1947. Agreements have been made with 1,175,000 employes, represented by nineteen nine-teen union3. But these three unions, representing 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 trainmen. train-men. Incidentally, the Switchmen's Union of North America represents only about 7 ot 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 wore 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 21, 1947, to bring about a settlement. The Board on January 15, 1918, announced its inability to reach a mediation settlement. settle-ment. The leaders of the unions rejected the request of the Mediation Board to arbitrate. The railroads accepted. What NowT 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 throughout 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. Itsecms unthinkable that these three unions, representing less than 10 per cent of railroad employes, and those among the highest paid, ran successfully maintain the threat of a par-alyzing par-alyzing strike against the interest of the entire en-tire country and against 90 per cent of their fellow employes. The threat of a strike cannot justify granting grant-ing more favorable conditions to 125,000 employes em-ployes than have already been put in efTect for 1,175,000, nor will it alter the opposition of the railroads to unwarranted wage increases 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.
