URGES PENALTIES
IN RAIL LABOR ACT
Eastman Would Also. Ban
Company-Dominated
Union on Roads.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal to penalize disobedience
of the railway labor act and to outlaw
the company dominated union on
railroads was sent to Congress yes
terday by Joseph B. Eastman, the
co-ordinator of transportation
Accompanied by letter explaining
the measure, Eastman sent to Chair
man Rayburn of the House Inter-
state Commerce Committee a bill to
revise the railway labor act and write
into permanent law the labor pro-
visions of the emergency railroad
transportation law under which he
operates.
Eastman would make interference
with the formation of organizations of
employees and election of employees
representatives punishable by a Jail
sentence of six months or a fine of
from 81 900 to $4,000. or both, for
each day such interference continued.
He proposed formation of a national
adjustment board to handle disputes
between workers and the railroads
over Interpretation or application of
agreements regarding wages, rules or
working conditions, with power to en-
force its decisions. The Board of
Mediation, the principal authority
under the present railway labor act.
would be reduced from five to three
members.
36 Members on Board,
The Adjustment Board would be
composed of 36 members, equally di-
vided between the railroads and the
workers. 1t would be divided into
tour divisions, each division having
jurisdiction over different classes of
employees.
The proposed adjustment board
would consist Of 36 members, l8 Sc.
lected by the carriers and the same
number by national labor organiza-
tions.
If either side failed to select rep
resentatives within go days after pas
sage of the law, or in the event of
a vacancy within 80 days, the Secre-
tary of Labor would be empowered
to make the appointment.
In the event of dispute as to the
rights Of any organization to par
ticipate, the Secretary of Labor
would investigate and report to the
Mediation Board.
Members of the Adjustment Board
would be paid by those selecting them
and not by the Government.
The Adjustment Board headquar-
tiers would be in Chicago.
The board would meet only when
disputes are to be settled, but would
remain in continuous session until a
decision is reached.
The revisions recommended by
Eastman make provision for includ-
ing in the operation Of the act all

Speaker Henry T. Rainey said yes

into his Illinois district to defeat him
for reelection as "a lesson to Presi-

The veteran legislator of Is terms

about his defeat for the nomination
in the April 10 primaries or in the

Rainey said the report disclosed that
Davis had called a meeting Of Re-

he stated he was being financed by

Major Measures.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate plunges into considera-
ton of the $3.50 .ooo, 900 revenue bill to-
morrow, and the Roosevelt reciprocity
measure also will soon be ready for
consideration.
These measures are regarded by
Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill as
the sina qua non. the very essential
legislation that must be put through
before Congress can adjourn. And
some of these leaders would be per-
fectiy willing to toss other legislat tive
proposals overheard and close up shop.
The House has passed both the rev.
enue and tariff bills. 1t is waiting upon
the Senate. Indeed, the House will
soon be in a position. so far as its own
program is concerned, to adjourn at
any time.

of Democrats who left the President

Hearing Called to
Force BituminOus
Fields Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Declaring an emergency eX-
listed, Hugh S. Johnson, recovery
administrator, late yesterday ap-
proved an amendment to the
bituminous coal code placing
the entire industry on a seven
hour day and revising its wage
scale upward.
The action was regarded as
the first major demonstration
of JohnSons intention to go
ahead with his plan to change
codes wherever necessary to
create employment without
waiting for mutual agreements.
The amendment, however, is
subject to modification if justi-
fled at a public hearing set for
April 9.
In addition to shortening hours for
the miners, the order approved a
wage scale recommended for districts
outside the Appalachian region by
the Joint Wage Scale Committee
which earlier in the week had nego-
tiated contract between the United
Mine Workers and the Appalachian
operators.
Basic Wage.
The new wage scale establishes a
IS basic daily wage, but increases
the hourly rate in some instances
and brings up the daily wage in
others to conform.
Opposition to the committees rec
ommendation developed at the btu
minous coal code conference, princi-
pally among coal operators from Ala
bama and Illinois. The conference
adjourned yesterday, subject to the
call of the chairman, after the Re-
covery Administration had announced
it would hold public hearing on the
entire subject.
The emergency" quoted by John
son was created by expiration at mid
night of the wage and hour pro-
visions of the code. Although the
majority of operators in the Appa-
lachian fields had new contra cts, and
while wage agreements in the rest of
the industry do not expire III til April
l. 1885, 1t was feared miners in the
regions outside the Appalachian
might strike for the shorter day en-
joyed by their fellows.
Informed of the administrator
action, John L. Lewis. international
president of the United Mine Work
ers, said he assumed the order will
be made effective Immediately "in
every mining region to which it re-
fers"
THE action on the part of the ad-
ministrator is justifiable and COM
mendable in the face of the emer-
gency which confronted the indus
try" Lewis asserted. The United
Mine Workers of America will give
complete cooperation in making it
effective"
Approval of the amendment was
urged on the administrator by btu
minous coal code authorities for
Western Pennsylvania and Ohio rep
resenting operators who produce more
than 65 per cent of the Nations soft
coal tonnage.
Operators of the smokeless Appa-
lachian region of Southern West Vir-
ginia and of the Fairmdnt region in
the northern section of the State
have refused to agree to the new
wage scale. Neither group, however,
is seriously opposed to the shorter
day.
The smokeless group throughout
has tried to negotiate separate con-
tracts with the miners, and the Fair
mont operators withdrew from the
general wage conference in protest
against elimination of their 24-cent
wage differential over the Pittsburgh
district.

WHY HAVE PNEUMONIA?

In the present state of medical
thought no one can tell what the con-
sensuS of medical opinion may be
about pneumonia. The views of ply
sicians as to the nature, cause and
treatment Of pneumonia have changed
and are changing. offer here mere
ly my own beliefs about it. So you
wiseacres may as well stop now, for
I'm only doctor and naturally would
not know as much as layman about
such things.
AS it seems to me, then. the idea
that cold, dampness, exposure, chill
ing and the like p1edispose to the de-
velopment of pneumonia or in any
way contribute to such illness is ra-
pidly fading, and the infectious fac
tor is gaining in Importance in sal1i-
tation and in medicine.
While pneumonia, variously called
lobar pneumonia, pleuro pneumonia
and Tin time pasD lung fever, is a
specific infection with the germ known
as the Pneumococcus, from our pres
ent knowledge it is probable that some
contributing cause or causes operate
besides the accident of infection. NOT
such speculative causes as cold or wet
scientific experimentation fails to
support that quaint fancy.
Recent scientific investigation in
dicates that in many instances of
pneumonia collapse doctors call this
atelectasis) of portion of lung fed
by one bronchus occurs and then in
flammation develops in the collapsed
lobe. This collapse or atelectasis is
liableSto happen in cases Of submer-
sion, during anesthesia, suffocation,
from temporary plugging Of bron-
chial tube by m,lcus or foreign body,
and perhaps in other circumstances
which we do not yet clearly under
stand.
Both as preventive and curative
treatment, administration OF 7 per
cent carbon dioxide with oxygen by
inhalation, has proved effective
against this collapse pneumonia. The
carbon dioxide is the natural stimu-
LUIS to breathing and makes even the
unconscious individual breathe deep
~ and vigorously.
More of my own opinion-maybe
I'm quite crazy, but anyway I'm
honest with you: believe the regular
practice OF Belly Breathing. at least
each night when one hits the hay,
and again each morning when one
wakens, tends to prevent pneumonia.
There is only one little catch In this

Ing" which gives detailed instructions
for Belly Breathing, comes to you on
receipt Of q dime and stamped en-
velope bearing your address. II your
school instruction In physiology was
worth q boot you would not need q
doctor now to tell you how to breathe.
am leaving the consideration OF
the infectious or germ factor out Of
this discussion. Well deal with that
later.
Sheer physical weakness or exhauS.
ton appears to increase liability to
pneumonia. From our present knowl-
