.|CKES W|THHOLDS
COMMENT ON SON
Reads Criticism of lob on
P. W. A. Project in
Massachusetts.

Public Works Administrator Ickes
maintained silence today in the face
Of sharp criticism Of the employment
Of his son, Robert H. Ickes, on a
P. w. A. project in Massachusetts,.
Although Ickes had not been reached
directly, an aide said yesterday he
had been informed of the resentment
over his sons job and mad asked to
see reports Of it. He was said to have
refused comment.
Young Ickes, who was graduated
last week from Lake Forest (Ill0 Uni
versity. arrived at the Medford. Mass,
P. w. A. Office Monday with letter
from his father asking that he be
given some hard work. He was made
a sewer inspector at salary said to
approximate S29 a week.
According to dispatches from Bos-
ton, young Ickes' employment was
criticized by Henry v. ODay, State
adjutant of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. and Mayor George Bates OF
Salem, the former stating there were
unemployed veterans in the State who
could have qualified for the job, and
the latter remarking that 1t seemed
peculiar" that a young Illinois man
should be brought to fill job when
many Massachusetts youths were look
ing for work.
P. w. A. officials here pointed out
that jobs in their agency, unlike most
of those in the w. P. A, do not neces-
sarily go to persons in need. Young
Ickes was employed last Summer IN
a C. C. C. camp in one OF the ma
tional parks. His father, as Secretary
of Interior, has jurisdiction over the
National Park Service.

RAIL UNIONS WARN
OF "STATES' RIGHTS"
Same Cry Raised by Reactionaries
Of 1860, Says Weekly Repre-.
senting Six Groups.

B1 the Associated Press
Labor was warned today by six
railroad labor unions to beware of
the cry of States rights
American workers should not be
deceived by this gesture" the six
organizations said in their weekly
Labor. 1t comes from the men who
applauded the Supreme Court when
1t slaughtered railroad pensions, farm
relief. the N. r. A. and similar pro-
gressive legislation which gave Amer
!can producers something of a square
deal"
The cry Of States rights" the
unions said, "is exactly the issue the
reactionaries raised in 1850 when they
we're terrified by the prospect that
Lincoln and the newborn Republican
party might free the slaves"
The unions-the Switchman's Union
OF North America, the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers, the Inter-
national Association Of Machinists.
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. the Order of Rail-
road Telegraphers and the Brother
hood Of Maintenance of Way En-
ployes-in urging labor to act ma
tionally," added:
The Supreme Court must be forced
to obey the Constitution and Amer
ica's economic problems must be set
tied on q national basis"

EMERGENCY RAIL
RATES EXTENDED
Six-Month Continuance Of
Freight Charges Is Given
by |. C. C.
R1 the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Increased emergency" railroad
freight rates, in operation for "A
months, today were headed for an
other six months Of life. They had
been due to expire at the end Of this
month, but the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday authorized a
siX-month extension.
Railroads had asked that the in
creased rates, on a Nationwide basis,
be continued indefinitely. The carriers
contended the rates had increased tn.
income of financially distressed
transportation system more than
500, 100000 in a year.
The Federal regulatory body re-
fused this request.
Included in the notifications to the
general six months extension order
were emergency charges on coal and
iron ore. A Is cent surcharge on
each ton of coal and coke was cut
to 10 cents. The maximum surchsrge
on iron ore was lowered from 10 to
8 cents per ton.
Cut Made in Some Charges.
Emergency charges on unmanu-
factured tobacco, flaxseed, screenings,
woods and ores and concentrates were
removed and those do iron pyrites,
stone, pig iron, raw products and
other products were reduced.
Spokesmen for major railroads here
said the order was a victory although
partial. Members of the commission
agreed the decision left the railroads
major problem unsolved.
Coordination suggestions Of Joseph
B. Eastman, Federal transportation
co-ordinator, were suggested as
move toward permanent rehabilita-
ton of the railroad industry. East.
man, earlier in the day, advanced
a series of proposals for improvement
Of passenger income of the railroads.
The majority of the commission, in
allowing the six-month extension,
said they were not convinced that
the emergency charges constitute an
undue burden upon the traffic upon
which they are imposed or upon the
shippers or receivers of such traffic"
Extension Held Counter to Act.
Commissioner Aitchison. Joined by
Porter and Tate, termed the ex-
tension counter to the mandates of
the interstate commerce act" Atchi-
son oentended that the increase, even
''if lawful. will defeat its own purpose
by making the rail carriers more
vulnerable to competition without
even temporarily bettering their real
position"
The dissent termed the claimed
increase of slO0,O0O,OOO revenue
wholly illusory," saying there had
been definite evidence the higher
rates drove business from the rail-
roads to competing agencies Of trans
portation.
