gotiations now pending as to inter-
pretations of the various wage agree
ments which were made with the Ia
Dor groups during federal control.
Director General Hines announced
that. while the divisions of opera
tions and labor as such would be dis
continued March l, representatives
of the railroad administration would
carry to conclusion consideration
of all grievances. He named G. $.
Lake and j. A. Franklin as his as
sistants to supervise and recommend
final disposition of these questions
Many of these labor demands pro-
vide for retroactive pay. In view of
this Mr. Hines has authorized rail-
road boards of adjustment to con-
tinue to receive and hear questions
which ordinarily would come to them
for settlement under existing wage
agreements.
Mr.. Hines announced that w. s.

labor. had arranged to resume his
duties as president of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and Engi-
Eeers March i. w. r. Tyler. director

Angel Appears To Boy
The plan OF the building Is said to

a boy who had been left In charge Of
the workmen's tools during their alb

the workmen Immediately so as 10

The boy. not recognising the heavenly
visitor, refused to obey these orders,
whereupon tho angel swore by the
