(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 - Indica-
tions that railroad employees will de-
mand granting of their demands for
increased wages, time and a half over
time, the 8-hour day and changes in
working conditions before the rail-
roads OF the country are turned back
by the government to private control
is contained in testimony Of Timothy
Shea, chief Of the f1remens brother
hood, before the railroad administra-
tion's board of railway and working
conditions.
Mr.. Shea told the board during it's
hearing of the fremen's demands, &C
| cording to the testimony published TO-
day, that to members of his brother
hood was due an increase in wages,
which, he said, ''if | cannot get it out
| of this conference. it may be neces.
sary to use other means, but l am go.
ing to get it."
In another portion Of Mr.. Shea s
testimony he is quoted as declaring
that if the firemens demands for a
living wage should not be met when
| the time approaches for the turning
| back the railroads to their private
owners, the workers shall demand as
a condition precedent to the return the
| granting of those demands
Although Mr.. Shea appeared before
the board only in behalf of the fire
men, it is generally considered thai
to increase the wages Of the firemer
would necessitate a similar increase tc
all railroad workers and action taker
by the fremen to enforce their wage
demands would involve similar actor
by the other brotherhoods.

did not think it possible for WORKING
people to curtail expenditures an,

manager Of railroad before becoming
& member of the board, asked:

American Ideals
To Be Spread bv
Memorial Funds

There is a mistaken impression
that all money contributed to the
Roosevelt Memorial Fund will be used
for a memorial at WASHINGTON and
Oyster Bay" said L. G. Reynolds,
county chairman, today. "If Theodore
Roosevelt were alive, he would OBJ
ject to any such plan.
An executive committee has defi-
nitely determined that three of every
four thousand dollars contributed to
the fund will be used for straight out
and out Americanization work. partic-
ularly among the million people in this
country who are foreign born, whom
we can not expect to develop into
splendid citizens unless given oppor-
tunity to learn to love and appre-
ciate American institutions and ideals.
This is the big program Of the
Roosevelt Memorial association, to
conduct a continuously active CAM
paign for spread of doctrine of true
courageous Americanism. In no bet
ter manner can life and ideals of
Theodore Roosevelt be perpetuaaed. "

CITY ATTORNEY TO
FIGHT COYLE SUIT

Byram Robbins, city attorney, prob
ably will represent the board OF works
in the suit filed by Paul Beckett, at
torney Tor John Coyle, for the rein
statement OF Coyle as member or
the city fire department, according 10
intimations by city officials Thursday.
The suit, which was filed with the
county clerk late Wednesday, is the
latest step in the case. No commen
was made by members Of the board Of
works, Thursday.
Coyle alleges in his petition that no
reasons were given by the board TO,
his dismissal, and that petition, ask
ing that he be given public hearing,
was also refused. The petition, which
was brought up in council, after the
board OF works denied it, and which
was simultaneously denied by the
council, is also presumed to be one OF
the leading factors.
