Brejrhill fl RAILROAD DISPUTE One of the very serious prob lems facing the country today is the threat of a national railroad strike which would shut - down the nations' rail roads for an indefinite period. Disputes between labor and management are traditionally left to the processes of free collective bargaining where agreement is reached after ne gotiation and compromise.

With regard to the situation in the Railroad industry, how ever, tremendous problems have arisen. Bargaining and negotiation have broken down. How to avoid a strike and the serious consequences to follow has occupied the attention of both the White House and the Congress. The President has advised the Congress that some means of public action must be sought to guard against the "continuing failure of -private responsibility" in this case. President Johnson has ex plained that railroad strike of this kind would make the country vulnerable to a num ber of very serious dangers. In the first place, it would mean a disruption in the flow of arms and materials to the 500,000 fighting men in South east Asia who are today mak ing sacrifices far greater than any other Americans are call ed upon to make. The Presi dent has also stated that such a work stoppage would re sult soon in food shortages and health hazards in our ci ties. He also predicts that a I strike would cause a rising tide of unemployment as our factory doors close for lack of raw materials. The dispute which has been going on for many months in volves almost all major rail roads of the country and six shop-craft unions who repre sent 137,000 railroad employees who inspect and repair loco motives and other rolling stock. Actually, the processes of collective bargaining and negotiation has produced a greements between the rail roads and eleven other unions Utter Te Tie Editor Statesville, N. C. BID 1 May 13, 1967 Dear Friends: Saturday, each week, is my Red Letter Day . .1 receive the Cooleemee Journal! It makes me homesick to see my friends there. My latch string is outside for them. Best wishes to you and your loved ones, Anabel Foster (Mrs. J. W. Foster) which represent about 70 per cent of the railroad workers in the United States. It might be interesting to discuss some of the background of this situ ation. Most of the problem relates to wages and work rules. Last Septembei 28, the services of the National Mediation Board were called into play when agreement could not be reach ed otherwise. The Board at tempted to develop an area of agreement between the con tending parties. However, on January 13th of this year, the Board reported that its efforts to mediate the dispute had failed. Under the powers granted him by the Railway Labor Act, the President postponed a strike for 60 days, and ap pointed an emergency board to assist in the effort to solve the problems. Again, the effort was unsuccessful and the time allowable under the law for Federal action was due to ex pire on April 13. Had the Con gress not extended the Presi dent's authority, a strike would have occurred then. At the time, the President planned to be out of the country for the meeting at Punta del Este and, as a result, he requested and obtained Congressional action extending Federal pow er to delay the strike. During the past week, this period of time expired and, again the White House and the Congress were confronted with the possibility of a labor stoppage in the railroad in dustry. Again, the White House requested an extension. This time, the delay was for for forty-seven days to per mit additional time for possi ble agreement to be reached or the development of new legislation that would provide a legal mechanism to assure a settlement. » The White House has fol lowed this recommendation quickly with proposed legis lation which attempts to avoid compulsory arbitration and, at the same time, assure that the essential public interest is pro tected. This week, my commit tee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce will begin consider ing the President's proposal. Out of this experience, it seems likely that a new step will be taken to deal with problems of this kind. It is still too early to predict exact ly what the outcome will be or what the final provisions of the legislation will be. Nev ertheless, I feel sure that this legislative proposal represents the growing interest and in volvement of the general pub lic in matters of this kind. In the coming weeks, we will hear more about the knotty problems that the Congress is attempting to sole in this situ ation. The fine line being sought is how to assure the protection of the public in terest without resorting to com pulsory arbitration or the seiz ure and operation of the rail roads by the Federal govern ment. "PROBLEM" PATIENTS Pills, pills, pills. Millions of peope ibhose who need them and those who dont— take them all the tkafc. What about those who do need them and don't take them? When the illness is a serious one for example, tuberculosis some problems and some dangers arise. Since the early 1950'5, when effective drugs were devel oped against TB, prokmgad hospitalization of patients has been decreasing. The majori ty of known TB suffers today are clinic outpatients. Their treatment consists mainly of drugs (usually in large quan tities) provided by the clinic and taken daily at home. Unfortunately the system doesn't always work smooth ly. A patient with TB in mild form can feel fine and start wondering why he has to go on .taking those endless pills. The people at the clink whose job is to help him get well may forget that they are dealing, in some cases, with a person unaccustomed to carrying out strict instruct ions or perhaps unable to grasp them fully. Sometimes an extra effort is rvaeded on the part of the clinic worker Ito put himself in the pa t tienit's place and try to bridge a gap in understanding or ; emotional conditioning. I Various methods have been ' tried for surmounting this "communications gap". Some clinics have supplied medi cation dispensers, with each day's supply of pills in a da ted compartment Others have experimented with "pill cal endars" with the day's dose physically attached to each date. Dr. Thomas (Moulding, of the National Jewish Hos pital ait Denver, suggests the possibility of sMpervfeary home visits by nurses or health workers.

Main St. Mocksville, N. C. Phone 634-2179 REVIVAL Dear brothers, it's revival time, And not a time to nod, If you would win from sin and crime Those straying far from God; And help backsliders straighten out The wrongs that they have done, That those who know them may not doubt The vict'ry they have won. It's time to fast instead of feast, It's time to seek God's grace; Then from the largest to the least Each one should fill his place, And help to sing the blessed songs, And pray the glory down, That God may save the wicked throngs in countryside and town. It's time to turn away from sin. Confess, repent and pray, And let the Savior enter in And save the lost today. It's time to give old grudges up, And pay old debts you owe, If at the fountain you would sup Where Gospel blessings flow. It's time for members of the church To heed the Gospel truth Arouse themselves and go in search Of wayward, wandering youth. And children in their tender years, And older people, too, And win them by your love and tears To Christ our Lord so true. It's time to love each other more And settle hate and strife. If you would have your Father pour His blessings on your life, And send you forth with conscience clear A face that's shining bright, That you may bring to others cheer, And heaven's holy light. It's time to seek for pow'r Divine That comes from God above, Like saints who live and brightly shine Through sanctifying love; Who bless the world by winning souls, And helping pilgrims rise In faith to where the glory rolls Across their inner skies.
