RAILROAD MEN
Z. 3 T0SEEKPAY
y BOOST
Conductors and Trainmen
+; Seek Restoration Of
=. 1920 Scale. +

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-R)-
Restoration of the peak wage scale
Of 1920 for conductors and trainmen
OF all the railroads in the United
States is sought by union leaders.
Local unions have been instructed
to file schedules of wage increases
next Monday and to request an answer
in writing by March 2. In the event
that any company seeks to present
modified proposals, local unions are
instructed to so into conference and
TO submit the final proposition to
headquarters.
Railroad men here have expressed
the opinion that the wage request
would increase the total annual ex'
penses Of the country's railroads by
$50O,OOO,OOO.
Orders for the submission OF
schedules have been issued by W. G..
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, and Il. +. Shop
pard, president Of the Order of Rail
way Conductors.
The new wages would mean an in
crease of 81 to $3.50 a day over the
prevailing rate for conductors, bag
gagemen, flagmen and brakemen. Con-
ductors receiving about $3.50 day
and $500 a month would receive $7.7J
a day and $232.5O a month.
Corresponding increases would BE-
asked for assistant conductors, and
yard service employees. In many case:
the demands would be equal to 81 9
day.

COCAINE BROUGHT INTO
 FRANCE IN WOODEN LEGS

Paris-The unusually large num- her of .wooden-legged men crossing from Germany into France recently aroused the attention, 1.-the French frontier guards. As a result one peg leg was requested by the guard to alight from his automobile at the GUS toms house at the. Kehi bridge, over the Rhine
 The pegleg fumed- and ragged, in sisted that he was veteran of the great WAT, and denounced them for submitting him to such an indignity. The officers, searched him, but found no eontraband until an Alsatian guard had ..an inspiration. He sug- gested that the mans wooden leg be detached and inspected. It was found to contain more than 100 ounces of cocaine.

lin the presence of fully 25O people, ywho gathered at the College to hear him, Carl B. Eielson, pilot of the Wilkins Arctic expedition, addressed an assembly of the Alaska College, lrecounting many interesting experi- ,ences during his absence from Fair banks and outlining the history and purposes of the expedition witch which he is now associated. The speaker was introduced by President Charles E. Bunell, who was instru- mental in having him appea before students and townspeople.
 There is a region lying north of Point Barrow. and around the North Ttole, which emains uneXplored," he sad, in taking up the present expedi- ton. "We are going to try to pene- 'trate this unexplored area, and will try to get there before other expedi- 'tions. fostered by foreign countries, reach it.
 This expedition was started in London by Captain Wilkins, Aus 1tralian by birth and one of the worlds foremost explorers. He has made two trips into the Antarctic. and was with sStefansson in the Arctic. Stefansson declares that he would not have re- turned on that expedition if it had not been for Wilkins. that Wilkins insist ed upon finding him and went under the protest of his men and brought Stefansson back. He was in the Aus ttralian army during the World " ar, and was picked as the bravest man in that army during the conflict.
 While in London negotiating plans for this expedition Stefansson wired Wilkins to come to Detroit-'They will back you here The following organizations are behind it: Amer sican Geographic Society; Aeronautical

Barrow. At Point Barrow we vii put a ne wengine in the plane. Air cooled engines hacve never been tried out in cvold weather, and if this one doesn't work-for it will still be cold we will use the Liberty in the other plane, which has a flying range of 3,100 milesc. The big one will fly 2,500 miles.
 "We will take off from PointBar- row for this unexplored egionr, which 1 is about 1900 miles long and GOO miles wide. No one has ever been in this region before, but navigators have skirted all around it. You cah only get into it by airplane. We will be in this area 45 minutes out of Point Barrow, and will cut into it for about 600 or TOO miles We will then go back to Point Barrow and make a second trip from the other side, and if there is land map it and plant the Ameican flag, and then both planes may go out and map the country from the other side This land may prove of value and may not, but we will claim it for the United States. Then we will fly straight north, across the North Pole, distance of 1850 miles, and land at Spitzbergen. We will do all our flying during day fight, leaving Point Barro wat night, during the time of the midnight sun. We will fly that night and the next day and land at Spitzbergen that day. We will fly from there to London and ship the plane across the Atlantir. Of course these are only temporary plans. 1t Is not entirely probable that we will get to the Narth Pole, or that we will fly to Spitzhmrgen, hut we will if everything goes we'll. Our main object is to find land. We mo- tice that the birds seem to come from the north in the summer. SO there must be and there.
 ''In a few years there will be big planes flying across the Arctic ocean, airplanes equipped like boats, which can be repaired while in the air and on which people will feel as safe as on boats. Across the interior of Alas ka will be the feasible route to fly to Asia, and the Arctic ocean is just as safe as the Pacific, for flying. Squad

Society of Detroit, consisting of group of Detroit business men, among whom is the general manager of the Ford company; North American Newspaper Alliance, and Wilkins, who also put money into the venture.
 Ford offered monoplane and the services of a pilot. They worked day and night in the factory to complete the machine, but it burned the night after it was completed. It was a beautiful machine, but I doubt if it would have poven successful here be- cause it takes too much room to take off and land. It comes down like a bullet, about eighty miles an hour. but, as I say, l don't believe it would have been a success. The loss of this plane is the only drawback to the ex- petition at this time. We will use one Fokker, with "A feet wing eapac- ity, three 00-horsepower air-cooled engines, and another Fokker around 50 feet wing capacity, equipped with Liberty engine.

It looked very Wilkins wired Sandy Smith in New York and ha dhim come down and see the snow motors demonstrated, and Smith said he believed they would go across. He applied for the job of try ing to put them through. Wilkins said he had nothing to lose by it and if the Board wanted to try them out he would like to see it done, for if they could freight their supplies and some material it would be a decided advantage to them and would mean a. quicker start. So the board of di- rectors decided to buy three and to send them up here and see if they would go. It will not be fatal to the expedition if they do not get across, for we ca nfreight by plane. As l said before, our only handicap so far is the loss of the third plane.
 My idea is to set the planes up here and then fly to Point Barrow. We have possibly 30,000 to 10000 pounds to land at Point Barrow 2,500 gallons of gasoline, radio set, men and supplies. It will be quite a lot of work passing over the Endicott mountains, for there is lot of snow on this side and very little on the 1 other side, reports show. But by the 1 time we have made few trips in 1 there and have to turn back few l times we will probably have to fly | about thousand miles-maybe more. It is only once in about two hundred i hours that your engine may stop, and | If that happens to us in crossing the 1 Endicott range, we will just have to l kiss our planes goodbye. But, bar ring bad luck, the chances are that we will get our stuff over to Point l
