Suburban routes can be served by

ate such buses as feeders to the
main rail lines, or can operate
through bus service at q higher

Motor buses )are also sometimes
profitable when the question of re-
, trackage has TO be considered. The
investment needed for the motor
vehicles may well be far less than

by Associated prsss 10 Every Evening
Chicago. Feb. IA recess Of one
month in the hearing before The Railroad
Labor Board on the application Of rail
ways for abrogation of the national agree
ments Was asked today by Il. NJ Jewell
president Of the Railway Employees De
partment of the American Federation of
Labor. Mr. Jewell said the unions need
ed unit il March l4to prepare their rehuttal
testimony
Immediate application OF the principle
of collective bargaining to the Railroad
labor situation waa advocated today before
Labor Board by p. NJ Jewell. presdent
of the Railway Employees Department Of
the American Federation of Labor. He
said that only by such means could the
present controversy be settled and . ma
iionel crisis in transportation avoided.
Suggesting that the roads fight on the
piesent national agreements is merely n
smoke screen, Mr. Jewell proposed three
steps for the board to take, as follows.
Firrt-The board 10 refer the national
agreements 20 a joint conference Of repre-
sentatives of the railroads and the
brotherhoods, the board agreeing 20 pass
immediately upon any differences which
may arise from such negotiations
the employers and employees on establish
ment Of boards of adjustment rs con
templatcd by the transportation act
Third That instead Of fling a food
of individual complaints on wages Of un-
skilled employees the American asspciatlon
Of Railway Executives, through W w
Atterbury, chairman of its committee on
labor, confer with representatives Of the
employees affected
MIR Jewell said that such program of
negotiation would establish tho priryiplc
Of collective bargaining In the railroad in
dustrp, expedite the eases before the
board and prevent the roads from nrlli-
fying the boards efforts by filing an oypr-
whelming mass ri cases
Eve are not fighting for perpetnatlon
OF any unreasonable rules Or working
conditions" he said we do not wlsh
t. cause the roads unreasonable expense
and never have supported any rules that
do this
Nlr Jewell chasgcd that organized
propaganda was being directed AZ tho
board At the behest of the roads anl
added
We have been astounded that your
honorable body has not taken judicial
notice OF this propaganda The Chairman
referred last Wednesday to resolutions
received from chambers Of commerce and
other commercial organizations
We consider such efforts as gross and
inconceivahle lmproprietics The posl-
ton Of this board Is araIogl - that of thc

Any such attempts % effect ~ declsior~
would be treated As contempt ~ court

Mr. Jewell said that in showing IN
