c'entennial celebration of Wil-
liamson County. N
lere has been a community
Granger for more than 75
irs but the town wasn't m-
poratod until Sept. 10 1891
W.ftt. Camp as the first
Mayor. .
Granger won minor fame in
12 when it became one of the
tirst towns jn this area to pave
ffts main street and get out of
the mud. The vitrified brick pav
ing is still in use. Recently the
city council bought a new motor
ized street sweeper after the
town had used its former sweep-
er exactly 34 years it having
been bought when the mam
street was paved.
Today practically all resident-
ial streets are paved or surfaced
with gravel the city last having
completed over four miles of
residential pavement. Two deep
artesian water wells serve the
town giving enough water for
a town ten times the size of
Granger.

Union leaders representing less than one-tenth of railroad employes
reject recommendations of President's Emergency board refuse to
negotiate except on their own terms threaten to paralyze nation by strike!
the LKAnr.HS of three rnllronil unions rep-
resenting less thnn one-tenth of nil rnllronil
employees lime cnlled n rnllronil strike Hint
would paralyze the nation.
Those leaders refuse to accept n 15M cents
nn hour wage Increase retroactive to Novem-
ber 1 1917 This increase was recommended
by nn impartinl Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of J5Vj cents already has been
accepted by the 19 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locornotive Engineers
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen and me Switchmen's Union of
North America won't accept what more than
90 of all railroad employes have accepted.
They have cnlled a strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules clintiRes demanded by these
union lenders which would Incrcnsc wnccs
still further were recommended by the
Hoard. Hut the union Jcmlers want irore
they demand that the rnilroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for including
those the Bonrd im should be denied.
On top of this tcy insist Hint certain rules
chnnges proposcijlby the railroads be with-
drawn in spite ml the fnct that the Bonrd
recommended (.'in! These union lenders
have refused tcwicgotintc except upon these
arbitrary terina
Greater wngc increase not justified
Engineers and firemen are among the high-
est paid of all employes in America as figures
In the box show. Tills strike threat doesn't
Justify giving a greater incroaso than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are n means provided
by the Rallwny Labor Act in the public inter-
cst to avoid strikes. The President's Board;
after hearing evidence for 33 days made
recommendations based on all the facts in
the case. The rnilroads have accepted these
rccomniendntions.
Who's to Iflamc?
Although they deplored so large an extraycost &
burden tho rallrbads ac"dcpfecl thd" 'rep'ort of
the Board because they felt it was in the pub-
lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of
the Railway Labor Act.
In contrast this small group of railrond '
union leaders nrp attempting to flout the"
intent and spliit of the Railway Labor Act-
and dictate their osn terms.
They have dictated a paralyzing railroad
strike. . '
You will bo the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemocratic arbitrary and abusive i
use of the right to strike and the disregard '
of the obllgntioii; to provide transportation? "
How long can tho Aniericnn penpje permit7
n few dictatorial union lcndeis to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
ot disputes? I i
t Force seldom produces settlements thnt arc' r
cither fair or lasting moreover n point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to tho g't enter public
welfare. Thnt is why the rnllioniU-nvc nc.-.-
ccptcd the Emergency Bnnl recommend?- "
tions. Thnt Is also why the lenders of these '
three unions should reconsider their decision
to cnll n pnrnlyzing strike.
Here is a comparison
of averace annual
earnings of engineers
and fireman for 1939
(pre-war) and 1947.
Also shown is what 1947
earnings would have
been it the 15 cents
per hour Increase of-
fered by tho railroads
and rejected by the
union leaders had
been In effect through-
out tKe entire yejr
1947.
Compare these wages with what you mak!
