FIREMEN
WIN DIESEL
ENGINE DISPUTE

New Haven, Conn. - (AFLNS). =
Firmness and persistence on the part
Of union locomotive firemen employed
by the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad in a dispute over
the use Of firemen on Diesel locomo-
tives saved the jobs Of a large num-
Der of railway workers and averted a
threatened strike.
The controversy arose from the de-
termination Of the railway officials not
to employ firemen on Diesel engines
and the insistence Of the union Off
cials that firemen should be employed.
The strike threat doomed when the
conference between the two groups
d~eadlocked on the proposition and re-
fused to bulge.
Confronted with the probability of a
strike, railway officials consented to re-
sumo negotiations. An agreement was
finally reached under which the rail-
road will employ firemen on Diesel
locomotives now owned, with the pro-
vision that the matter of firemen on
Diesel switching locomotives placed in
service at a later date would be sub
iect to future discussion.

LIEF CRISIS DEEPENS

NEW YORK-(FP)-The march Of
hungry men, struggling for the right to
live, resounded at various points
throughout the nation as a warning to
old-line politicians trying to push
fake economy programs" at the ex-
pense Of the needy unemployed.
At Harrisburg, hundreds of hunger
marchers, converging on the state
capital, found the doors of the House
and Senate locked and adorned with

won the right to quarters in the state
building.
AT St. Louis, 100 members Of the

day-and-night occupation of the intake
hall at the central relief station. They
are demanding that the board of alder
men appropriate relief bond funds at
the rate of $500,000 a month and that
bankers be removed from the relief
committee. About $4,000 persons were
recently cut off relief.

the right to relief in their own homes,
and families gained a promise Of cloth
ing and minimum rents. Cripples seek
ing relief jobs camped on WPA Ad-
ministrator Hopkins doorstep at
Washington and finally gained the
right to a conference.
