TO CONSIDER RAIL
WAGE DEMANDS
COMING WEEK

Washington. March Wage demands
q 100000 railroad workers will DC
taken up anew carly next week when
Representatives Of the brotherhood meet
ofneials Of the corporations in the hrst
conference on the wage problems.
Tho date had not been definitely de-
termined tonight by Director General
Hines. in whose hands were left ar
rangaments for the conference 1t prob
ably will be Tuesday or Wednesday.
The employees will be represented dur
ing the preliminary sessions by the
heads Of the Is unions who have fought
the wage battle together since last Aug
ust Their selection has been commu-
nicated to Mr.. Hines. 1t was under
stood. however. that changes would be
made in the personnel Of the labor COM
mittee when the tedious task of work
Ing out new wage scales begins.
Representatives of the rail executives
will be selected probably tomorrow
when the Association of Railway Exec
utives is scheduled to meet in New
York. The date Of the initial session
will be announced by Mr.. Hines as soon
as he receives the names Of the corpor-
atoms committee.
Sessions OF the bipartisan committee
will be largely informal for several days
as 1t will require time to agree on pro-
cedure. The number Of members to sit
permanently in the bipartisan confer
ences also will be determined in the in
formal meetings.
Brotherhood leaders probably will
insist that negotiations begin where
they left oft when the roads were re-
turned to private control. Union
spokesman expected the rail execu-
tive committee to object to taking in,
as part Of the record, the hearings
held by the railroad Administrations
wage adjustment boards. These hear
ings were lengthy and almost every
angle of the union grievances was
presented. Despite protests entered
by the unions against presidential
approval of the railroad bill the
brotherhood committee is prepared
to hold its provisions over the rail
officials when deadlocks are in pros
pect on wage questions. The high
court. on which the public will have
representation will not have to wait
long before it will be asked to hear
wage problems unless there are early
signs Of agreement between the two
committees. the workers representa-
tive asserted.
Among railroad officials. however.
this attitude Of the unions was re-
gaTded as crossing the bridge before
II is reached. One official said it
was not the intention to enter the
bipartisan negotiations in spirit
Of antagonisnl.
But the limit to which the corpora
tons can go is determined to @
great extent by the revenue in sight,
1t was pointed out. This phase, it
was added. probably will enter into
every question which the voluntary
board attempts to settle and deci-
sions. after all. may be affected ulti-
mately by action Of the interstate
commerce commission on rails.
The unions in view Of this antici-
pated argument count upon facts
and figures which the interstate
commerce commission will compile
on expenses and revenues of the
roads to support their position.

Parting Wedssd Drinking Glasses.

Drinking glasses and similar arti.
Giles often become wcdged together SO
firmly that it is difficult to part them
without damage. \ simple method
Of parting glasses is to pour cold
water into the inner glass and set
wcdged glasses upright in q dish OF
warm water. which should then be
gradually heated by pouring hot
water into it. The contraction of the
inner glass and the expansion Of the
outer one will release the two.
