BOARD WANTS RAIL
 WAGES INCREASED
(Continued from First Page)

and despite the award of June. 1927. the carriers would not have been justified in refusing an increase sim liar to that granted the engineers and firemen of the western district"
 Carriers Justified
 It added that the carriers were justified in offering an increase of 6h per cent to the standard rates, containing. in addition to the rates so increased. the existing differen- tials for mountain and other special service"
 Considering the purpose and in tent of the railway labor act and the evidence presented" the report con- tinued, "the question of the wage in- crease demanded and the differences arises thereon during the negotia- tions are proper questions for arbi- tration, if the spirit of the law is to guide the action of carriers and em- ployes.
 President Coolidge was said to feel hopeful that the recommenda tions made by the emergency board would form a base for settling the controversy between the western roads and their conductors and trainmen. It is his understanding that the findings were largely iden- tical with terms reached at a Wash ington conference between the roads and the representatives of the brotherhood. This was said to be particularly true of the wage in- crease rates proffered. Regarding suggestions as to changes in work ing rules the president feels that these matters will get reasonable consideration from all of the par ties.

Co0LIDGE DEClARES|
 BUSINESS lS GOOD
Bdsv6 Prospaity Xalt @lke With Presidential GnpliSp

Washington. Oct. 30 N-Presi- dent Coolidge holds that business conditions are remarkably stable and prosperous. and that the foun- dalton for this prosperity is secure ly established becauae it cannot be shaken by the presidential cam paiEn now in progress
 Both imports and exports have been represented to him as keeping up and business conditions general ly as beng in a better state than q year ago.
 In view of this. Mir. Coolidge is confident that tax returns for the current year will be large enough to wipe out the $l00.000.0o0 deficit which had beef estimated by next June 30.
 The president Is aware. however, that balancing the budget will be hampered by two or three extra items which will have to be includ- ed among the expenditures before the end of the current fiscal year. Among such items are the increased wages to mail carriers and further appropriati ations for Mississippi flood control. Should legislation be passed for the construction of Boulder Dam on the Colorado river this would also entail additional expenditures.
 On the other hand other appro- priations will be discontinued in the next budget such as work on the Ohio river which has advanced far enough to be cirtually completed with appropriations already made.
 President Coolidge therefore feels that the prospect of getting through this year without deficit is getting brighter every day.

FOR AIR MAIL

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to-

the air mail by giving Govern
ment departments and Con
gressmen the right to use it..
He appeared before the House
Committee on Accounts to support
a bill by Representative Swing tR.p
of California, extending the con-
gressional frank to the air mail.
1t was the second time within a
week that the young flier had been
called before a congressional com.
mittee to give his views on legisla-
ton.
On his last appearance before the
Military Affairs Committees of both
the Senate and House he urged a
square DEAL for Army filters but
refused to endorse a specific bill
Today he .unhesitatingly urged sup
port for the air mail. 1t is. he indi-
Gated. his greatest hobby.
II believe it is essential for the
Government branches to be able to
use the air mail for important mes
sages and letters,'' said Indy. 1T
seems proper that the Government
should use the air mail, which it
inaugurated in. 1919. Growth has
been steady in the past two years.
However. many routes are operating
without great mail poundage."

HONEYMOON

PARIS. March 26.-stanley Morti.
mer. jr.. popular New York society
man and member of the exclusive
colony at Piping Rock Club. and his
lovely wife, the former Mathilda
Cost have just begun piquant
adventures divorce honeymoon.
Shortly after instructing a promi.
nent American attorney to begin
action for divorce, Mrs. Mortimer
yielded to the plea of her husband
to try to recapture, before their final
separation. the happy hours of their
first honeymoon.
The couple are now travelling
through England. where they plan
to attend the Grand National as
they did in their more romantic
days. They will then return to
Paris. where Mortimer wilI~take up
a separate residence and wait for
the French tribunal to act in their
case.
Mathilda Coster, who was a close
friend of Ellen MacKay now Mrs
Irving Berlin, and whose debut
came in the same year, has been
separated from her husband for
many months. She has been living
In Paris and supporting herself as
. SaIestady Tor one Of the leading
cOuturiers. while her husband lived
In New York.
The separation was the result OF
an agreement to try to smooth
over by absence the differences due
to temperamental misunderstand.
ings. Stanley and his wife never
ceased to be friends and have nj.
ways cOrrespOnded with each other.
While Mrs. Mortimer worked as
a saleslady she was seen frequently
In society circles in the fashionable
night places. her simple taste in
dress debating style among a par
ticular younger set.
The separation, however, failed
to have the effect Of bringing about
q solution OF their difficulties, and
several weeks ago Mrs. Mortimer
wrote her husband begging him to
reach some agreement to give the
separation a definite status. Young
Mortimer finally consented and ar
rived last week in Paris.
Before consenting to any step
toward divorce, however he sug-
gested the final honeymoon"

DIAMOND JOE =
WILL SLEEP IN
COLD CASKET

CHICAGO, March 26.-They are
burying Diamond joe opposite to-
day--the most magnificent and
costly funeral ever held in Chicago.
All that is mortal of the famous
Diamond who has been called
1.-The Robin Hood of Chicago's Little
Italy reposes in a $4,000 silver
bronze casket inlaid with pure gold.
Before the mile-1ong cortege be-
gan its march to Holy Name
Church, Diamond Joe's gem-likc
bier formed the glittering center Of
a veritable acre of flowers. Never
in Chicago's long record of elab-
crate funerals--nOt excepting those
of the gangsters Genna and O'Ran-
ion--has there been such q fortune
in flowers.
Packed into every room in the
opposite home, the imposing array
of floral pieces overlooked into the
yard and onto the premises of Dia.
mond Joe's neighbours. Many thou.
sands of dolIars--it would he diff
cult to hazard an estimate--were
spent for these flowers.
But that was not all. Diamonds
friends purchased an additional lot
Ut 10000 loose roses to be dis
tributed from airplanes In the path
Of the cOrtege and over the funeral
ceremonies ut the grave.
This, it was learned, was Dia-
mOnd's own idea--but not for his
own funeral. Mike Cafferello, an
aviator and bosom friend OF the
Diamond, told how Esposito had once
remarked that flowers strewn from
an airplane would re the ultimate
in funeral magnificence.
Diamond Joe, who was shot down
last Wednesday night in typical
gangster fashion by three unknown
assassins. numbered his friends by
the thousands.
For many years the Diamond had
been the dominant personality In
the old Nineteenth ward, scene or
many bloody feuds.

leader under the banner of United
States Senator Charles 8. Deneen,
was regarded by the Italian and
Sicilian population as the arbiter
and ruler OF the ward.

D. c. Man HELD
in 1000 DEAL

Eric Burke cissel. 80, Of 1897
Spring Road N. W.. real estate
salesman, was arrested today by
Headquarters Detectives Clarence
TalIey and Harry Cole and is held
at the First precinct, charged with
larceny after trust involving $1,000.
The arrest resulted from the sale
of the house at 1882 Meridian st.
n. W.. which was sold for M. r.
Davidson last July. Davidson swore
to a warrant, alleging that $4,000
OF the proceeds were withheld.
Since the transaction Cissel was
committed to st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital, but was later adjudged sane
and released, according to Detec-
tlves Varney and Brodie, who are
handling the case.
Cissell told them. they said, that
he received only $500 from the sale
as commission. The rest was
divided between the realtors who
employed him and Davidson, he
claimed.
