PLANS SOON READY
FOR CALVERT BRIDGE
Senator King States Progress, but
When Funds Are Available
Is Unsettled.

After conferring with the Commits
sioners today regarding the status OF
the proposed Calvert Street Bridge prof.
ect, Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee said revised plans for
the structure are expected to be ready
soon. The city heads sometime ago
had plans drawn for single-arch steel
span, but Congress called for a restudy
of the question of the type Of bridge
that should be erected, and the Fine
Arts Commission decided in favor of a
multiple-ar masonry structure.
The question of when funds will be
available to go forward with the bridge
project remains unsettled. Congress
authorized use of $575.000 of the gaso-
line tax surplus to begin the bridge,
but this is part of the 81 100000 gas
tax surplus over which the Budget Bu-
reau was given discretionary power to
decide upon expenditures. and the bu-
reau has not yet released any part
of this fund. Senator King is continu-
ing his efforts to obtain approval for
the expenditure Of the gas tax and
water fund surpluses. however, and he
again expressed confidence today that
funds to start the Calvert Street Bridge
will be made available.

EMERGENCY BOARD
EXP[A|NSPAY RAISE
N. R. A. Demands Declared
Guiding Factor in Rail-
way Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Presidential Emergency Board
stated last night that the demands OF
the National recovery program was one
reason why decision was handed down
in favor of employees of the Louisiana
Arkansas & Texas Railway Co. in their
dispute with the road over wages, rules
and working conditions.
In the report made public at the
White House. the board, appointed by
President Roosevelt, said:
In these days of National recovery
when every effort is being made to
maintain wages and to conserve the
volume of purchasing power upon which
the prosperity of going industrial sys-
tenn defends, the requirements of Ma
tional policy become doubly compelling
If the interests of private ownership
clash with the demands of National
policy. the lesser must give way to the
greater value
The report was signed by Frank P
Douglass, chairman: l.. w. Courtney
and Walton H. Hamilton.
Parties Involved.
The dispute, on which public hear
irgs were held at Greenville, Tex, Au-
gust 8 to l6, involved the railroad and
72 employees. represented by the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Engine Men. the Order Of Railway Con-
ductorS and the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen.
The present controversy involves 9
substantial reduction III wages" the re.
port said. Employees whose wages were
already depressed more than per cent
below those of their fellow Workmer
eli fn lyf
further cuts ranging from 3 to 19 pei
cent"
AS to changes in rules and working
conditions, the board said it felt that a
careful revision should be made. in view
of changed conditions, resulting from
technical Improvements and the in
creased competition faced by railroads
but that any changes should apply to
carriers as a whole, rather than one
system or one line.
Conclusions OF Board.
The board concluded that:
The action of the carrier in putting
the new schedule of rates of pay. rules
and working conditions into effect was
not justified
The new schedule Of rules does not
amply protect the established rights of
the employees
The rates Of pay have been depressed
unre asonab,y below those on connecting
and competing lines and even parts of
this same system.
The employees are justified in their
refusal to accept the new schedule
The schedule of rates of pay rules
and working conditions in effect prior
70 June 3. 1888, should be restored by
The carrier"

In the elevator she said Nine" to the boy

It wasn't until her key did not fit in the lock

I'm sure it will be frightfully interesting Un-
fortunately I have an engagement SO if you
will excuse me"
Wilbur hardly heard him, but Priscilla was
slightly disturbed She began to realize that
whenever SINCE was not with her she got into
trouble.

weeks I've been eating home cooking. Nancy
cooked and cooked and cooked. She made
mullins and biscuits and gems and popovers.
She made fudge and penoche and molasseS

give up smoking and drinking-here waiter!

Priscilla, for weeks and weeks haven't been
out of an evening. I've been sitting in Nancy's
living room or going out into the country
Nancy loved picnics. I'm cured. If you'll take
me back Priscilla, swear you'll never see an

lack of breath and looked pathetically and
hopefully at Priscilla.

of girl to be engaged. But I'd love to go
around with you, Wilbur. I always was ter
ribly fond of you
When she looked back upon the three months
which followed, Priscilla's only recollection was
that she was always breathless.
As she had to spend much of her time in the
theater, she made it practice to ride daily
in the park And she had preferred walking
to spending hours back of red lights in evil
smelling taxis. But now she never put her foot
to the pavement and the change told on her.
Her slenderness increased almost to the point
of thinness and her coloring became less like
