gineer,, firemen, conductors and
trainmen's brotherhoodS. In addi-
ton. the SWitchmen's union has
asked tor time and half credit for
holidays and Sunday work.
The wage board is considering the
application. and will make recon-
mendatons to Director General

suit in increases OF between 8 to
10 per cent and time and half for
overtime
MI the brotherhoods seek read
iustmentS OF wage scales throughout
the country to restore wage rela-
tionships and diiierentials which the

It is said by those who have seen
the statue and who are competent to
Judge. that no artist has ever sue
ceeded in so blending all the essen
tial attributes Of Lincoln. He is rep
resented as a man OF the common
people, tall, angular and Of humble
simplicity. Yet there Is revealed with
impellinS inpressiveness of the lofty
spiritual qualities that made him the
incarnation OF the highest ideals Of
American democracy
The artist adheres strictly to the
likeness OF Lincoln The face and
figure are true TO life in their proper

who knew him personally agree that
the statue Is a perfect likeness as
well as a striking presentation OF the
spirituality OF his face. which ap-
