CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The primary
interest of railway labor in the joint
conference between the railway
presidents and the railway labor or
CARNATIONS, row being held here, is
to relieve unemployment and stabil-
ize working forces.
The labor organizations have pre-
sented program developed during
the last three years to solve the in
secure and diminishing employ
ment, inadequate wages, and present
unemployment.
Ito bring immediate and perma-
nent relief, the labor organizations
proposed that measures be taken to
stabilize employment that where
work could be budgeted, normal
force be assured employment for a
year. 1t was proposed to stabilize
employment during this depression
and relieve more than 100000 men
Of fear of idleness.
The next measure Of relief for the
present and the future is recognition
of soundness Of the principle of the
six-hour day, and organization Of q
JOINT committee to determine means
of applying the principle. 1t would
not create additional employment
but would give reasonable hope that
eventually railroad employment
conditions would be improved.
The employees then proposed that
management and labor join in pro-
noting legislation to their common
benefit, including a federal bond is
sue for grade crossing elimination,
regulation Of motor transport COM
panies, provision for retirement in
surance, and federal provision for
elective workmen's compensation.
The employees also sought estab-
lishment Of an employment bureau.
1t has been unfortunate that in the
past railroads have hired thousands
of new men, when thousands of idle
experienced men would have been
happy to obtain such employment.
Finally, the employees have sought
to emphasize continued co-opera-
ton Of railroad management and

Yields Ladder Clue

Sion the anniversary today of
the twenty-first month of the birth
of Charles Augustus Lindbergh,
jr., police explored one of the
most promising new clues to his
whereabouts they had uncovered
since the youngster was stolen
three weeks ago tonight.
An abandoned house close to
the isolated Lindbergh home
atop wooded Sourland Mountain
was to be broken into by New
Jersey State troopers today.
Same Type of Wood
There was evidence to lndi-
cate pieces of Carolina pine wood
found in a barn adjoining the
farm house were similar to that
used in construction of the lad
der the kidnaperS supposedly
used in spiriting the baby from
it's nursery in the Hopewell
IN. JO. home of the Lindberghs.
Unofficial observers of the
progress of the far-flung hunt for
the kidnapers and the famous
aviator'S child believed an
advertisement signed "Jafsie''
appearing in some newspapers TO-
day and couched in similar
mysterious terms as previous ones
with the same signature alluded
to the abduction.
