by Secy Lane. will meet Monday 10
take up labor questions pending be-
fore the railroad administration,
and will devote afternoons for sew
eral weeks TO hearing and investi-
eating complaints and petitions.
Sec'y Lane said today that the
wage demands of the four leading
railroad brotherhoods would be
heard first and later consideration
would be given to other definite
wage requests. Before the inVesti-
cations are concluded it is planned
to inquire into labor conditions,
wages and living expenses for all
classes of railroad labor. regardless
of whether definite demands have
been presented.
Labor leaders will be called i'm
and the recommendation of rail-
road presidents and other eXecu-
tives will be heard. Most sessions
will be public and the scope Of the
investigation will depend largely on
developments.
Sec'y Lane said the commission
planned TO travel as little as posi-
BILE, but that it probably would use
the investigating machinery already
established by the department OF
labor.
I'VE want to deal directly with
railroad men, said the secretary,
"and get their views at first hand.
This will be a business like investi-
CATION and in the end we want TO

This was taken to mean that
quantities of coal held back by rea-
son of the congested condition of
the railroads were now getting
through to cOnsignees.
Extend Exemption Lists.
Despite the efforts of the fuel
administration TO hold down the al
ready large exemption list, it was
found necessary today to extend il
considerably. The war and navy
departments found that TO keep
running plants for which exemption
already has been obtained, many
concerns supplying single parts and
raw material viii have TO remain
in full operation.
The navy's problem arose par
ticularly in connection with work
on destrOyers. 1t was found that
work on these craft would have to
be halted unless plants furnishing
many small parts also are exempt
ed. Navy officials are pressing the
destroyer program vigorously and
already have encountered a two
weeks setback by reason of bad
weather
One of the chief concerns of the
army is to prevent any delay to
the aircraft program which is dis
tributed through a large number of
plants in all parts of the country.
The shipping board sought and
obtained exemption today for lum-
Der mills producing timbers for the
emergency fleet corporation.
Deliveries of timber are far be-
hind the schedule and il was point
ed out that if lumber manufacture
was to be stopped, ship plants
would have TO shut down.
Many plants in various parts of
the country which had been nOti-
fed by government departments
that they could continue operation,
were not permitted to run by local
fuel administration officials, who
had not received notification from
washington. This confusion, it was
said tonight, had been cleared up
and that there would not be sim
liar recurrence.
