ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton, Jr.)
NEW YORK, (/P)—Although the
Yankees are lopsided favorites to
win the world series, Branch
Rickey insists this is one Brooklyn
team that isn’t beaten before it
starts. . . . Branch talks about
. “quiet confidence” and at the
same time Leo Durocher. In his
1 intimate circle, hints that Billy
j Herman’s trouble at Pittsburgh
I was that he thought he could
I manage a ball club and still be
a nice guy. . . . That’s what you
| would call opposite viewpoints. . .
1 Now that Joe Cronin has moved
' up to the Red Sox front office and
Joe (retired* McCarthy has signed
, as manager, American leaguers
are looking toward Cleveland for
I the next big change. . . one tipster
reports: ‘‘If Lou Boudreau moves
I it won’t be up to the front office.”
. . . And. incidentally, whatever
becarrte of the Boudreau-Dyer
I shift as a means of stopping Ted
j Williams?
Joe McCarthy, already listed as
the only major league manager
ever to win championships in both
leagues, might conceivably be-1
come the second to win pennants
with three different clubs. . . . Bill |
McKechnie did it with Pittsburgh, j
St. Louis and Cincinnati. . . . Mc
Carthy takes over the remains of
the 1946 champions, who have I
picked up some reinforcements
and might win again with added
strength in a few more spots. »

RR. Brotherhood
Demands Thirty
Pet* Wage Hike
CHICAGO, i/Pi—A formal de
mand for a 30 per cent wage in
crease for more than 330,000
members of five operating Rail
road Brotherhoods has been mat if
by the unions on the nation’s car
riers.
The notices for the hike in
wages, with a minimum boost of
$3 a day, set in motion the ma
chinery of the national rai’way la
bor act under which disputes in
the industry and handled.
Rejection of the wage dom; tid
by the individual railroads was
expected and would result in ar
rangements for negotiations on a 1
nationwide basis. The earners’
wage conference committee, ren
resenting the country's railroads,
said granting the wage boost
would add 8400,000,000 to rail
transportation costs annually.
In addition to the pay raise de
mand, the operating brotherhoods
representing the engineers, fire
men, conductors, trainmen and
switchmen, also have made de
mands for changes in 44 working
rules. Approval of the changes,
railroad spokesmen said, would
add one billion dollars annually
to operating costs.
Negotiations between the bro
therhoods and carrier representa
tives on the rule changes, the issue
that precipitated the nation-wide
rail strike in May, 1946, are to
open here next Tuesday. Union
spokesmen said the wage demand
will be “dealt with aggressively”
when negotiations on the rule
changes open.
The wage increase. union
spokesmen said, was “compulsory
due to the sky-rocketing living
costs.” They said their last pay
boost was in May, 1946. Their new
wage demand calls for the 30 per
cent boost to become effective
Nov. 1. Carrier spokesmen said
the weekly earnings of operating
employees average $76 now com
pared with $48 in 1939.

Dies In Seattle
SEATTLE, </P> — VV. Leonard
Smith, 53. Territorial aviation
and highway engineer for Alaska,
died here last night.
Smith, whose work of supervis
ing all Territorial airfields and
highways required him to fly
thousands of miles a year, became
ill on an inspection tour in Au
gust. He was flown to Juneau,
spending two weeks in a hospital
there, and then flown here three
weeks ago.
He was also chairman of the
Territorial board of road commis
sioners and head of the Alaska
highway patrol.
Born here, he served in the navy
in the first world war and upon
his discharge went to Nome. He
was engineer in charge of opera
tions for the Hammond Consoli
dated Mining Co. many years. He
was elected to the Territorial en
gineering post two years ago.
His widow, Barbara, who came
here last week, two sons, William,
Juneau, and James, Student at
Washington State College, and a
daughter, Mrs. Jane Workman,
Juneau, survive him.
JUNEAU — Governor Greuning
says "the death of Leonard Smith
is a great loss to the Territory. He
has been conspicuously able and
devoted public servant; first in the
Legislature where he represented
, the Second Division, and later as
a member of the Territorial Board
of Education; then for the last two
years as Territorial highway en
gineer.
“His service has been marked
by a high degree of conscientious
ness, technical competence and
full understanding of the problems
involved.
“Mr. Smith will be missed by
his many friends, but he leaves a
permanent place in the history of
the Territory, to the advancement
of which he contributed notably.
He could leave no finer legacy to
his family.”
