100000 RAIL WORK
|ERS MAY STRIKE SOON
Bv Federated Press

CHICAGO.-(FP)-"The employ
es are in no way responsible for
plundering of the railroads, and the
right to just wages must not be de-
MED because of the sins of finan-
ciers."
This is the attitude of the railroad
br%otherhoods toward the assertion
of the railways that they cannot af-
ford to pay a 20 per cent wage in
crease in line with increasing liv-
ing costs and standards.
The resulting impasse left mo al
tentative than to set the day and
hour for the men to Withdraw from
service" union representatives de-
clared. A strike of operating de-
partment workers on U. S. railroads
would affect 100000 workers.
Meanwhile the Natl. Mediation
Board may attempt to arrange for
a compromise or for arbitration at
the behest of either party or on its
own initiative. Union spokesman
indicated that an arbitration board
likely would not be accepted. In
that case Pres. Roosevelt might ap-
point a fact-finding commission to
make a report within 30 days, dur
ing which time the status quo would
be maintained.
A strike is favored by 81 per cent
of the workers involved unless a
satisfactory settlement can be reach
ed.
'The history of American rail
roads is a history of plumber by fin
anciers," said a rail union statement
in commenting on the carriers can't
pay attitude. To take the sins of the
financiers out of the hides of the
workers would be to hold back the
living standards of railroad workers
and prevent them from contributing
their share toward supplying the
mass purchasing power that will
maintain our economy" A passen-
ger conductor receives only lac a
day more than in 1920, a passenger
brakeman 1c more and a passenger
fireman &c more, the brotherhood
pointed out. Such increases, they
asserted, do not buy radios, electric
refrigerators, air-conditioning units
and other modern needs which have
come into general use since 1920.
The mediation board recently eff
fected a settlement involving a 81
hourly increase for 100000 members
of incorporating railroad unions.

THE ROAD BACK

Universal Pictures following their
success with "All Quiet" have at
tempted to duplicate this with its
successor Road Back" At the start
the new production has one big adj
vantage and one handicap. The for
mer overshadowing the latter. Road
Back" is an infinitely stronger plea
against war per Sc, because it shows
the effects of war upon the civilian
population. Its disadvantage was
that the fascist countries would I'M
questionably ban it. In fact, Ger
many exerted great pressure and
even threatened those associated
with the production. How effective
they were we are still unable to
ascertain authoritatively.
The original story as well as the
film suffers from a confused end
ing, but nevertheless the director,
James Whale, has managed to very
clearly show the complete disruption,
economic and social, that falls on
the population through war. That
is a great gain. There was much
disappointment expressed with the
original version. Much of this can
be traced to the comic Interpretation
of two of the central characters, some
to Remarque's original, and the rest,
possibly to cuts. Nevertheless the
film, even with these weaknesses,
emerges as a strong indictment of
war, and as such, deserves our full
support.
As we go to press, we learn that
the ending of the film has been COM
pletely changed. Universal has CIV
en- us the gist of this changed end
ing. That is-that love heals all scars
and ill feelings engendred by war;
certainly no Improvement on either
the integrity or confusion of the orig
inal work.

BARRIERS MUST PAY

Even BARRIERS, who lease out their
chairs to ~journeymen on a percen-

A contractor in Holland, Mich, has
developed a method of manufactur-

together. 1t covers a space of one
square foot, three bricks tall and
three bricks wide. This cuts down
the amount of mortar required to
one-sixth and one hustling brick

JACKSONVILLE, Florida = Jud-
&c Louie w. Strum delayed decis-
ion in the case of a 72-year-old wo-
man because she refused to bear
arms in the defense of the United
States. Born in Detroit, this woman
lost her citizenship in 1918, by mar
rying an alien. When she appeared
in court, the woman declared that
she vas willing to perform non-com-
Blatant service, in the case of war.
However, she said, she was unwilling
to personally bear arms for the pur-
pose of taking human life because
of her membership in a certain
church opposed to such action.

COUNTY SEEKS
RIGHT OF WAY

ROCKVILLE, Nd, March IT.
Continuing with their plans to
acquire the abandoned trolley right
of way in the center of Connect
icut Avenue through condemna-
ton proceedings, the Montgomery
county commissioners today au-
thorized a survey be made Of the
land to ascertain the amount of
property involved.
Following the refusal by the
Capital Transit Co., of an offer
of $4,000 for the land involved,
the commissioners agreed to pro-
ceed with plans for condemning it.
While the approximate 20-foot
right of way in the center Of the
highway from Chevy Chase Circle
to Chevy Chase Lake is reported
to contain about four and one half
acres, Albert M. Bouic, counsel to
the commissioners, said today that
the actual amount will have to be
found before action can be taken.
The survey will be made this
week by the county engineering
department under the supervi-
sion Of John Mcdonald, county
engineer.
The right of way including
rails, poles and wire was orig
inally on the county's assessment
books at SAC, 900. This, however,
has been reduced to $1,000 by the
commissioners.

BILL WILL ASK
NEW PENSIONS
FOR RAILMEN
International News Service

International News Service
Representative Crosser CD OF
Ohio, will introduce a bill in the
House next embodying the new
pension legislation for 100000
railroad workers agreed upon to
day by the railroads and the 81
standard railroad labor unions.
Crosser is author Of the railroad
retirement act which Is pending
before the Supreme Court for a
ruling on it's constitutionality. The
new retirement plan Will be a sub
stitute for the one now in litiga,
ton. It is understood the rail.
roads will drop their fight on the
present railroad retirement act as
q result of the agreement.
BiIPs Provisions
Principal provisions of the new
plan are:
A total tax Of 5 per cent Of the
payroll, instead of the present
z per cent, half to be paid by the
roads and half by the employees.
The tax would apply only on the
first $500 of any employees pay in
one month. The tax would in
crease gradually to Z per cent
after IL years.
The plan would be administered
by the Railroad Retirement
Board, as at present, and the
method Of computing an annuity
is the same as in the existing law.
An employe is eligible to retire
voluntarily at the age of 65 years,
but may retire at so after 80
years of service, with q reduction
in the annuity at the rate Of one
fifteenth for each year he is under
IS.
65 is DeadIine'
There is no compulsory retire
ment age, but an employe who
works after he is IS will not re-
ceive credit after that age. En-
ployeS may retire because Of physi-
cal or mental disability after 80
years Of service with full annuity
rights.
Present private pension rolls of
the railroads are taken into the
Federal system, but in cases where
retired employees are receiving
more money than they would un-
der the Federal system, which
places a limit of $120 a month,
the railroads agree to pay the diff
ference.

Today gives a powerful recup-
