THE SAJCCTtJAR? ' The weeks have rushed by but they have been filled with canning and work fest3 and not a dull moment. Today we are in the hills with their blue distances and vari-colored landscapes. With the radio, daily mail, telephone and electric lights, rural life is interesting and fascinating. The hens pour out the eggs and eat buckets cf corn each day. The farmer has an abundance of potatoes and other garden products, acres of corn, alfalfa and soybeans for the White Faces . . .

and water on the farm at ell times for stock on pasturage. It was an ideal day for gathering walnuts and we did just that for our winter bird guests and squirrels. A truck came for a load of calves and they were gone before we had arisen. The farmer-enpineer and his wife

make guesses and hide them as

to what the market will bring

thus combining work with a bit

of fun. For a long time the farmer has been an engineer and

late years has lived at his farm

home partly in one county ana partly in another.

In the woods were cascades of

winter and maiden-hair fern over the hillsides, and we found the very large tulip tree the farmer's pride. It was three or four feet through and limbs were much lower than one usually finds in this tree. Sometimes the first limbs of tulip trees are sixty or seventy feet high so as to protect the seed of the tree. The hills are lovely this time of the year and many new homes are being built along the highways. One week we will see a pile of sand and some concrste blocks, and very soon folks will be in their new homes busy at the business of living. Some substantial business buildings are even now completed. We always have a fine time on our visits but a few chickens and flowers need care and wonder where we have gone. Reaching the age of retirement for us will not mean inactivity. There is fences to build, fence rows to clean out, fences to paint we like fences and some folks think we like gates. Much the same daily routine as always, with a bit of visiting and pleasant personal contests interspersed, reading when there is time and just living. Bird hikes still hold 3 keen interest and maybe there will be bigger and better flowers with more time to cater to them. Thus far we have avoided bread and meat lines, and thus have also escaped broken noses

and broken glasses while you wait. Who ever thought it would come to that in our own U.S.A.?

So that our customers may be fully informed as to t!ie facts involved in the final settlement of the wage controversy, we are setting forth below our letter of October 23, 1346, sani to all Union Employees in connection with the settlement:

To Employees, Members of I.B.E.W. Local No. 1393:

October 23, 1943

In connection with the controversy with the International Erotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local Ih. lr93, the following is a full quotation of the Arbitrator's Award (Supplement), cf Professor Dalks M. oun, dated October 27, 1946: "Since my original Award has not provided a method for settlement of the issue in this case, it is now my opinion that subsequent developments (more specif .ca.Iy the withdrawal of an application for approval of 9Vi adjustment retroactive to June 1 6, 1 946, by the Indianapolis Power & Light Company, Indianapolis, Indiana, and the suVecuent granting cf adjustments of 9Vi effective June 16, 1946, notwithstanding the lack c: approval by the National Wage Stabilization Board) warrants the payment by the PuY.ic Service Company cf Indiana, Inc., of an increase of eleven (11) cents per hour retroactive to June 16, 1946. In accordance with previous stipulations this award is sub i&Qt to the annoval of the National Wage Stabilization Board. "In the event that federal government controls are removed it shall be the responsibility of the, Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc., to grant an' adjustment of eleven (11) cents psr ,; hour to its Union employees retroactive to June 16, 1946. Indianapolis, Indiana, (Signed) DALLAS 11 YOUNG,

October 27, 1946 Upon the suggestion of the Company, the Union joined with it in asking Professor Young to interpret his award of July 24, 1946, because it has been our position that we have fully complied with its provisions. A letter addressed to Professor Young, and f igned by the Union and the Company, repeated the full award of July 24, 1 946, and asked him to interpret it. You will note that the above supplement does not interpret his award as he was directed to do, but instead, he makes a new award. He states "Since my original Award has not provided a method for settlement of the issue in this case, it is now my opinion that subsequent developments, etc." Also, his supplemental award lays the foundation for more controversy. He knows that the National ,Wage Stabilization Board has already indicated, in the case of the Indianapolis Power & Light Company to wheh he refers, that it would not approve such an increase. Also he adds the last paragraph which creates more confusion. Should less than the 1 1 cents be allowed by the National Wage Stabilization Board, what would the last paragraph mean?j Certainly, it will be agreed the wage rates should be definitely established without having to wait for a further contingency. , Arbitration is, in our opinion, essential in the settling of differences, particularly in a public utility

where there should be no strike because such a strike is against the public. This fact is recognized in our contract with the Union, which provides that there shall be no strike. In our Company, the strike of 1,300 employes would affect the lives of over 1,000,000 people. Unfortunately, the result of arbitration in this case has created differences, instead of settling them. We have taken the position that the additional 1 1 cents per hour increase is unreasonable. With changes in working rules and other benefits (including this increase of 11 cents per hour), increases since January 1, 1941, amount to 52.51 cents per hour, and since V-J Day amount to 27.35 cents per hour, which is substantially in excess of both the National and State wage increase pattern. However, all controversy should be immediately eliminated in order to concentrate on the job of serving electricity to the public. Accordingly, we are placing the additional increase of 1 1 cents per hour in effect retroactive to June 1 6, 1 946, without referring the matter to the National Wage Stabilization Board. Yours very truly, Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc. (Signed) R. A. GALLAGHER, President.
