WOULD ABOLISH
 RAIL-LABOR BODY
Enginemen Brotherhood Head Declares System
 a Failure
WASHINCTON

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The railroad labor board was declared to be failure and unsatisfactory alike to the public, the railroads and the employees" in statement today by D. E. Robertson, president of the brotherhood of locomotive fireman and enginemen before a subcommittee of the senate interstate commerce com. mittee at the opening of hearings on the Howell -Barkley bill proposing abOlishing of the board.
 The bill, which is sponsored by rail- road labor organizations, proposes set clement of railroad labor disputes by conference between self-chosen repre- sentatives of railroad arrangements and | employees with luther recourse to media tion and arbitration.
 Mir. Robertson declared the activities of the railroad labor board had brought about an ''era of industrial discord after thirty years of peace."
 "This bill," the labor spokesman said, 'ptilizes well-tried and effective methods of adjustment of labor con troversy through conferences and ap- peals to boards of adjustment, media. tion by government board and finally through arbitration. The legal and enforceable obligation to fulfill a con- tract is the basis for the only com pulsion provided in the bill.
 Contracts resulting from collective bargaining between the self-chosen rep resentatives of employers and employees are to be enforced, If controversies cannot be ended by agreement, govern ment mediators may be appealed to. If mediation is unsuccessful, complete provision is made for voluntary arbi- tration, the opportunity for which neither party can afford to reject. Ar bitration awards are to be judgements in the federal courts and thus enforced"

awaiting him at his eastern head

fected increased strength lately at
tanned by Democrats in other Sec

the deduction that a changing senti-
ment, favorable to the ticket headed
by him. was rapidly and generally
developing.
Just how far-reaching the reported
change in sentiment ultimately would
prove to be, Mr.. Shaver said he was
not prepared at this time to disclose.
In another statement issued by
Mr.. Davis before he left for his home
in Locust Valley to rest until Friday
when he departs for Indianapolis,
the candidate declared:
New York state will be bound in
the Democratic column on November
