ARE URGED FOR ENGINES

By The Associated Press.
The Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers and the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
urged the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today to require railroads to
install power reverse gears.
A brief filed by the brotherhood
said these gears, used to reverse the
direction of locomotives, are more
suitable, practical and safe" than
manually operated ones.
On behalf of railroads, the Associa-

posed the proposal, contending it
would not increase safety and would

RESCUER OF MINE

Diamond Driller Still on Company
Pay Roll, Official
Says.

By Stan Correspondent o! Fne Star.
TORONTO. Ontario, July 23.-"It
isn't the throbbing needle of the dia-
mond drill, but the Kleig lights Of
Hollywood that Billy Bell wants now"
was the comment of Michael Dwyer
Nova Scotia minister of mines, when
shown a newspaper story based on a
letter Bell had written to Alfred
Scadding, who, with DR.. D. E. Rob-
ertson. was lntombed for 10 days in
the Moose River Gold Mine in Nova
Scotia last April. Bell was the dia-
mond driller whose efforts first estab-
lished contact with the men and
showed a waiting world they were
still alive.
The letter definitely stated Bell
was out of work and would take
almost anything" to make a living
for himself and family.
He is still on the pay roll and
has never been out of a job since
his diamond drill bored a shaft of
life to the Moose River Mine VIC
tins" DWyer continued
Three weeks ago he was ordered
out with a diamond drill outfit, but
he refused, giving as his reason he
had a better job with a Hollywood
studio in prospect and did not want
to waste time. Bell has been kept on
the pay roll and is receiving $50
month from the Nova Scotia govern
ment as retainer When actually
employed he is paid for full time.
Dwyer had no knowledge of dissatis-
faction on the part of Bell
He could have spoken to his i'm
mediate superior, Deputy Mines In
spector J. P. MeSservey, Deputy Minis
ter Norman Mckenzie or myself. De-
partment of mines records reveal that
Bell has done nothing like that"
Scadding, with prospect of another
six weeks in a hospital here before
he walks again, is progressing favor
ably, and at present there are no plans
for further operations on his feet.
He already has had all his toes and
part of the left foot amputated.
