Washington. Aug. IS. Congress has
an opportunity to "do n grand thing in
empire building" in connection with
the soldiers bonus, Senator NcNary,
OF Oregon, declared today in the Senate
In urging his reclamation amendment to
that measure.
Calling attention that in every war
the Government had provided as aid
land for veterans. he argued that there
was no good reason for the abandon
ment Of this national policy n this
time.
This amendment is not novel in any
Of its provisions" he said. Its pur-
pose and scope are to encourage the
development of the AGRICULTURAL re-
sources of the | nitPd States through
Federal and State co cooperation, giving
preference IN the matter of employ
msnt and the establishment of rural
homes to those who have served in the
military and naval forces of the United

WAY UNIONS RIGHT =
TO ACT is ATTACKED

Chicago, Aug. 2s.--(By A. P.)--
Seniority and new organizations Of rail-
road employees were thrust forward by
ten eastern railroads today before the
Railroad Labor Board when the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and Railroad Shor Laborers
began hearing on plcns for an increase
In minimum wages from twenty three
to forty eight cents an hour.
The seniority question, which has
been the chief stumbling block over
which efforts to end the railway shop
mems strike have several times failed.
came to the front when John q.
Walber. representing eastern railroads; .9.Gj
brotherhood to represent employees on
the ten roads. e
In the same way new organizations
were injected into the proceedings when
Mr.. Walber declared that as n result
on the ten lines, the maintenance union
could not represent the majority OF
track men and shop laborers on those
roads.
z. F. Cradle, president Of the main
tenance union, was given until tomOr-
row morning to reply to Mr.. Walber's
contentious.
Ben w. Hooper, chairman Of the
Labor Board, pointed out that under
Decision No. l in 1920 in connection
with the switchmen's strike the board
had ruled that strikers were outside the
jurisdiction Of the board until they
returned to work. Chairman Hooper
asked that Mr.. Cradle consider that
decision of the board In making his
reply tomorrow.
The hearing today was started with
two Of the labor members out of the
city.
When the hearing opened Mr.. Cradle
made statement presenting the main :
tenance mems demands, in which he
said that Senator Cummins plans an
amendment to the Esch- -Cummins
TRANSPORTATION Act, setting forth the
| intent of the law that all workers shall
have n living wage.
Cradle Emphasizes Three Points
Mr.. Cradle in his statement empha
sized three points:
First. That the board recognize 9
living wage as the basis of the decision
in this case.
Second. That in applying this prin
| ciple, n minimum rate of not less thar
forty eight cents an hour be awarded
to all our members who under the last
wage decision are receiving twenty
eight cents an hour or less.
Third. That for those who are nov
receiving more than twenty eight cent

an hour their differentinl in cents above
the twenty eight cents be added to the
new minimum rate Of forty eight cents
an hour"
Mr.. Cradle further asked that time
and one e-half as n punitive wage be paid
for all work over eight hours.
I'VE have no desire for overtime, "
Mr.. Cradle added. IF 1t were possi-
bic, or rather IL it were practicable, we
would be glad to have the board abso-
lutey forbid all overtime and all work
on Sundays and holidays.
There has been no recognition of a
living wage In principle" Mr.. Cradle
asserted In his statement. ''ns applied
in II general way to all classes Of en-.
ployes, or, as especially directed to the
iaborer. or unskilled worker as n fun
damental principle and consequently as
a basic principle which should determine
wages throughout the industry.
"Senator Cummins, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee and
author of the Transportation Act, has
declared that it is the intent Of the
law to give the humblest worker the
right to n living wage, and in order
to avoid any possible misunderstanding
or misinterpretation, he has prepared
and would submit an amendment to the
law, clearly setting forth this purpose
of the law for the guidance of the Labor
Board"
"Our money earnings" President
Cradle also told the board, "have nct
