RAILROAD WAGE
DISPUTES FACE
HOOVER, BOARD
Strikes Threaten Two Large
Roads; Not Serious,
Officials Say.
BY c. ]. ITLLEY
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHING zion. April 3.-COn-
fronted with serious wage disputes
on two large railway systems. Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover has already
taken extraordinary action in one
and is pressing government officials
to bring about mediation in the
other.
The President last week issued a
proclamation creating a special
beard to intervene in the Texas &
Pacific railways wage dispute with
all four of the railroad brother
hoods. The Texas & Pacific is one
OF the large southeastern roads.
Yesterday tabulation of a strike
vote by shopmen OF the Southern
railway was begun by union Off
Gals, although the United States
board of mediation is attempting to
bring about an agreement on that
road.
Samuel H. WinsloW chairman OF
the United States board Of media
ton. said HOOver's proclamation in
the Texas & Pacific dispute was the
third such executive order in two
years. It automatically stays a
strike for thirty days while a special
board of five attempts mediation
and reports to the President After
the report is made the strike is de-
layed another month in order to
permit the President to act
III the two previous cases acted
upon by President Coolidge, Wins
low said peace was effected within
the first thirty days.
Government officials refused to
recognize either dispute as serious
and said that strike threats no
longer had the meaning they carried
in the old days
While officials Of the Southern'S
shopmen were reluctant to discuss
the strike vote, it was believed to
be favorable. Government officials
said it might never be utilized be-
cause the United States board Of
mediation was acting in the dispute
and felt certain that arbitration
would soon be accomplished,

Point was the logical site for a model
airport.
two and one-half years ago. Since that
time every one interested in the queS-
ton has had the fullest possible oppor-
tunity to examine other sites. This has
been done and yet we sooner or later
get back to the table-Gravelly
Point.
Hoover Field Inadequate.
"The Hoover Field site could be de-
veloped as temporary airport, of
course, but it never would be adequate.
There are no facilities for the landing
of large flying boats in the river at
Hoover Field. The construction of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge is adding an
obstacle to those already existing around
the field. 1t would be very difficult for
heavily loaded plane to get up over
that bridge when it is completed.
II had Hoover Field at the time the
airport committees were making their
SURVEYS. and even though 1t would have
been decidedly to my advantage to have
Hoover Field selected and developed, I
could not conscientiously recommend 1t
and so stated to the members of the
