RAILWAY LABOR UNION
 REFUSES WAGE UT

CHICAGO, Dec. 12. P)-Organ- ized railway labor refused Friday to accept the immediate and vol untary wage cuts as suggested by the railroads but proposed instead that the railway laborers and the railroads enter into further nego- tiations to discuss the situation.
 It was reported that the men would enter into compromise at conference with road officials at which conference labor is deter mined to exact some sort of an agreement regarding the spreading of work, preferably through a six hour day before accepting the pro- posed wage cuts.
 Railroad heads have already drowned upon this proposal of labor.

 Attorney L. V. Ray sounded the keynote of the meeting last night when he said 1t was the duty of every Republican to stand square, ly behind President Hoover. Mir. Ray believed that the time was never more propitious now that the President was under the fire of his political enemies. Tt is when man needs support that 1t should be given" said Mir.

 This observation was received with enthusiasm by those present.

Membership Drive

In Yurtherance of these plans, President Leon Urbach named a committee of three to begin a drive to ferret out every Republican found hybernating within the con- fines of Seward and have them present at Wednesday nights meet ing. Capt. o. A. Johanson was se- fected to take the wheel of this gospel barge and steer 1t thru the shoals of Democratic intrigue and obstruction. Shipped as first and second wates are Mrs. Jennie Paul. son, Harold Sogn, Al Peel and Cole McDougal-a hard crew to match, when Captain Johanson's skill and experience is weighed and it is re- membered that Mrs. PaulSon was secretary of the Republican Club in the last Territorial campaign and gave a good account of herself. MT. Peel is an able wheel-horse of the party. MT. McDougal boasts prow- Ass as an organizer, and MT. Sogn IS very popular with the younger benedictS.
 Seek Ladies Aid
 But, President Urbach Is not con- tent to halt with his main batter 1es set up and ready for action. He wants the ladies to step into the fray and share the honors. There fore, he club voted to delegate to him discretionary powers whereby he may name a purely feminine committee to ride herd on the re- ealcitrants. Thus, in the prelimin- ary jockeying at the post, the G. o. P. put one over on the Bourbons there was not a single feminine face to grace the proceedings of the party at it's convention Decem- Der 8.
 Surprises Loom
 This Is not the only surprise in the bag of tricks the Republican Club promises to spring in the forthcoming campaign. Hitherto, these biennial affairs have lacked enthusiasm and pep, lac-organiza- tion and lethargy born of a cock sureness engendered by the re- peated victories of the party in Ter ritorial elections.

BOTH MEN NOTED
FOR AIR EXPLOITS
Post Easily Won National Air
Race-Gatty Was With
Bromley.

OKLAHOMA CITY, June 24.-When
Wiley Post and Harold Gatty landed
at Chester, England, on the first ocean
leg of their attempt to attain q new
speed record by air around the world,
friends here who know them best
were not surprised at the fine perform
ance of the flyers.
Major ventures in aviation long have
attracted the interest of both men and
they previously had won laurels in the
air.
About six months ago the short,
stocky Post. who has one sightleSS eye,
rode a powerful monoplane from Los
Angeles to Chicago in an easy first
place finish in one of the national air
races.
Was With Bromley.
Some weeks later the slender Gatty,
an Australian by birth, took of from
an isolated Japanese beach with Harold
Bromley in an attempt to span the
Pacific from West to East, but motor
trouble forced q return to land after
they had flown 200 miles toward the
United States. Post, the pilot in the
round-the- world undertaking. used the
same ship he few in the air race VIC
tory-the Whine Mae"
Post started his aviation career as a
parachute jumper with flying circuses
in Oklahoma and is a pioneer in the
ranks of Southwestern transformers.
After about three years of stunt work in
the air he was employed by Hall as pilot
and has been associated with the oil
man ever since.
Was Naval Officer.
Gatty deserted the sea for the air
having spent several years as a navigat-
ing officer in the British merchant ma
rine and naval services. Recently he
instructed Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh in
navigation, while the two were on the
Pacific Coast experimenting with
gliders. He has been in the States for
about four years.
A noted airplane manufacturer,
builder of some of the fastest planes,
came across the continent with Post
once. II never saw man fly so
straight in all my ltfe," the passenger
commented.
