CHICAGO, September 2.-E. F..
Cradle, president of the International
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Men, is critically i'll in hotel here,
his wife told a representative of the
Associated Press today. He is suf-
ferinK from a nervous collapse.
Tho strain of keeping the 100000
maintenance of way men out OF the
railroad strike while preparing to
present q petition for wage increases
to the> Labor Board wore him out.
Mrs. Cradle said, and worry over the
outcome of the Labor Board hearing
is, she believes, partly responsible
for his critical condition now.
Mrs. Cradle was called from her
home in Detroit Wednesday night,
and, arriving Thursday. found her hus-
band in a critical condition. He has
been in a semi-stupor practically
with a high fever.
Chairman Hoover OF the Railroad
Labor Board called on Mr.. Cradle
today, but no visitors were permitted
to see him.
Two nurses are in constant at
tendance. and his physicians forbid
any attempt by any ono to talk
about the hearing of the mainten-
ance of way union before the Labor
Board, which had just closed. AosO-
lutte rest in bed for at least two
weeks was ordered by his physicians.
and 1t will be at least a week before
he can be moved, Mrs. CRADLE said.

sharp picks against two automatic
compressed air chisels, four color
ed laborers in the District engineer
department came out victors in 4

Maj, r. s. Besson, assistant en-
gineer commissioners in charge of
highways, wanted to test the rela-
tive value Of hand picks and auto
matte chisels in tearing up ruts in
asphalt pavements to be repaired.
Selecting a stretch OF Florida
avenue near North Capitol street
as the scene of the contest, the
four laborers were assigned TO one
side of the thoroughfare and two
men with the motor driven tools
on the opposite side.
The air chisels began to dig into
the worn asphalt and the laborers
swung their picks with all the
strength- they could command
Foremen stood by to observe the
progress Of the race.
Gradually the pick swingers be-
gan to forge ahead. Encouraged
by their success, they went on,
tearing up the holes that had been
marked OF for repair.
When time was called that aft
ernoon the four tired but proud
men were nearly q square ahead of
their rivals on the other side Of
