His statement was that the leglS-

ing to adjust labor. financial and
operating ills of tho carriers.
Joseph d. Eastman. federal CO.
ordinator of transportation, is
making the survey.
Two reports have been submit
ted since he was named coordin-
ator. Those reports will figure In
conferences beginning today at
which Eastman will seek to COM
promise the rail wage dispute on
the basis Of six months truce as
suggested by President Roosevelt.
Two more reports are to come
In the survey program. Ample time
to complete the reports and decide
on o plan Of action would be OBJ
tanned under the proposed truce.
It Ia notable that labor condi-
lions are to be dealt with in the
last Of Eastman's scheduled re-
ports.
Tho first report dealt with rail-
way organization. conduct and
regulation. Eastman concluded
there were three remedies for car
rier ills.
!. Public ownership and opera
ton which no said would be best
theoretically and logically.
2. Grand consolidation or re-
grouping into n few major lines.
3. Continuation of the emergency
coordination program looking to-
ward pooling arrangements. econ
omy and better rganizati0n with
In tho railway industry.
Eastman concluded government
ownership and operation would BIO
too expensive ut this time and
therefore he did not recommend
It. Neither did he recommend a
grand consolidation plan" argu-
iLg such legislation would invite
controversy which might prevent
decision In any reasonable time. He
suggested that too much attention
In consolidation plans probably has
been given to preserving competi-
ton ana too little TO economy.
Eastman would be inclined to
make economy u major factor In
such program.
He proposed that tho coordina-
ton plan be continued for another
year and that the problem be APP
preached for the time being under
conditions imposed by the mergcn-
cy act.
ObJecuveB would be n pooling OF
effect In scientific research, estab-
lishment OF standards, adoption of
new types of equipment and new
forms OF service, the unifcation OF
terminal operations and readtust-
ment of the ratio structure"

In the act, Eastman concluded,
opens possibilities OF improvement
without immediate major change
In tho industry.
with respect to labor. Eastman
recommended In the first report
merely that restrictions upon re-
duction OF railway labor DO eased.
He considers them unreasonable
and bar to improved operation.
Eastman's second report pro-
posed legislation for regulation Of
motor and water carriers. COMPETE
tion by these agencies has consid-
erably lessened necessity Of main
tanning rail competition, tho coor-
dinator believes.
The third report will deal fur

SEVEN P.O. MEN

From Present Ruling

Seven employees at tho local post
Office, who are technically listed AZ

exempt from the furlough order
sent out two weeks ago ana Will
not DO forced to take off days with

ceived in an executive order from
washington this morning by POST
master James r. Kelley.
Six of the seven employees are
men who do work about tho build
Ing, while the other is q charwom-
an.
The ruling results from tho fact
that the appropriation for the sal
aries OF custodial employees wah
turned over to tho post office de-
partment from tho treasury de-
partment and hence are not AFFECT.
ed by tho cutting OF the postal
budget.
As far as the other post Office
employees are concerned. however,
the order still stands. Each work
or, from the postmaster down, must
take a four-day furlough without
pay before July LIST. Another FUR
Tough was taken last year.
Postal workers' organizations all
over the country have been pro-
testing against the imposition OF
the furlough. Thousands of lcttcrn
of protest have gone to tho post
underground and to the repre-
sentativcs In congress. Tho econ

minimizing of the use of substitute
workers. who have likewise entered
