Washington, d. G. (ILNS)--A wage
by members of IA Incorporating rail-
road unions under terms of a COM
promise settlement between the unions
and arrangements arranged here by
the National Mediation Board. The
settlement averted danger of strike
between $4,000 and 100000 workers,
who had voted by big majority in
favor of quitting work unless an
agreement was reached.
1t is estimated the wage increase
will add about $98,0O0,000 yearly to
the income of the workers belonging
to the Ia unions, who had asked an
increase of 20 cents an hour.
Negotiations On Other Demands
Demands of the unions for a guar
antee of steady work were left to
negotiation which will begin Sept.
between the unions and the respective
railroads involved. These demands
were for guarantee of years work
for 'full-time" employees, and for two
thirds of years employment by
standby" men who are largely seas
onal workers.
Terms Of the agreement were made
public by Otto S. Boyer, member OF
the mediation board who has been
working since July 16 to compromise
differences between the respective fac.
tions.
The unions, led by George M. Har.
rison, chairman of the Railway Labor
Executives association, filed notice;
of their demands with the individual
roads on March 4. Then, in accord
ance with the provisions of the Rail
way Labor Act, the spokesmen fol
each union held separate conferences
with the respective railroads, at which

MONDAY. MAY 10. 1937

According to astrology this is an uncertain day in planetary direction In the morning hours there is an aspect supposed to clarify the men tai vision and to encourage wise decisions.
 Saturn appears to threaten labor adjustments and to make employ CTS uncertain about policies, but bankers and merchants, realtors and exporters are under the most prom ising rule of the stars.
 Women should be fairly fortunate today which should be a lucky time for shopping. Bargains that are marvellous are indicated for certain commodities.
 Clothing is to increase in costli- ness and the prices of shoes will rise as demands for leather from foreign countries grow
 Crimes of sabotage and incen- diarism, forecast months ago, may increase greatly through the sum- mer. Murders also will be numer- ous. Extraordinary caution in safe- guarding homes is counseled.

MOTHERS DAY AND THE MATERNAL
 DEATH RATE

Tomorrow the nation pauses in tribute to mothers of the land It is a beautiful laudatory gesture Flowers will be dispatched by the carload. From the pulpts of the land mothers will be euogzed in glow ing words Here and there mother will get day off from her multitude of duties in taking of the family while the daughters perform in her stead The imagination can the point of pictur- ing the popular school girl breaking date" to stay home and get the Sunday dinner while mother takes it easy Such things have been known to occur
 The word song and flattering gestures to mothers tomorrow is fitting and commendabe. But it appears as feeble effort when reads the startling figures of the Territorial Department of Health, appearing in yesterdays Empire that the maternal death rate in Alaska is almost twice as high that in the States; that this almost three times high the infant death rate in the United States
 The extremely high mortanty among native in fants chiefly responsible for this embarrassing ln- fant death rate in the Territory the report explains but it makes the condition less astounding in this modern day of obstetrcians and advance in medical science
 And as pay tribute to mothers tomorrow, we can well give thought carrying forward the pro- gram toward reducing the appalling maternal death rate in Alaska.
 We cannot by sending flowers ignore the safety and welfare of the mothers of tomorrows children As the birth rate declines needless cripplng ano deaths of mothers infants in the function Of child bearing become increasingly important from an eco- non1ic and social well medical standpoint. To put it buntly, cannot afford Territory or as a nation sacrifice needlessy the lives of mothers and babies Americans not going to have babies for the good of the State" they do in of the foreign countries Thus some of the elements which deter them from having babies must be eirnina ted
 During the last few years medical science has taken great strides forward in making childbirth less dangerous. Those mothers who afford the best and who go to good hospitals have little trouble. But those mothers who only mediocre at all are the ones who must suffer
 The situation sinners down to two fundamental points:
 Good which some mothers getting must be made available for all. This means that the stan sards of medical, nursing and hospital in every community must be brought to satisfactory standard
 demand for good must be created among prospective parents. They should know when and how and where they can get good care and of what it should consist.
 Most important we believe is making proper available to all. In other words the care must be based on the case itself and not the ability

SUNDAY. MAY g, 1887


 Adverse planetary aspects are strongly active today, according to astrology, but benefic influences ap- pear in the afternoon. Business affairs in the coming week may be affected by propagan- da of some sort, but labor may be kindly disposed toward employers. Under this planetary government the clergy may suffer from un- merited criticism regarding views on public affairs. Pulpit and press are likely to be outspoken in com- ing months.
 Jupiter today frowns upon the legal profession and the stars are not kindly in their influences upon the aged Care of health is en- joined
 This should be favorable day for all who control the destinles of others. Governors, university heads and the President of the United States should benefit from the planetary government.
 Prophets and soothsayers will null tiply in the land and new cults will gain followers who accept half truths.
 Prejudice and misjudgment may be prevalent under this rule of the stars which inclines men to see the faults of others while they are blind to their own defects.
 The week may be time for sudden fluctuations of the stock market. but in any event specula- ton wl.l be widespread with wo- men prominently interested.
 Persons who birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- usual opportunities with tempta- tion to take chances for big re- wards Odd experiences are indi- cated for both men and women

Are The Brooches Significant?
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Robert w. Bingham, Ambassador of the United States of America to the Court of St. James, re- gently revealed his intention to attend the coronation of King George VI attred in, among other things buckled knee brooches, black silk stockings, and dancing pumps adorned with bows.
 The cable reports did not reveal whether the wear ing of the knee brooches and silk stockings was dc- tated by the carefully considered judgment of the gov enment Washington whether the attire was per sonaly preferred by the Ambassador as an individual individual desiring to follow the Westminster Abbey version of doing in Rome the Romans do
 In either case, of course the choice was one of con forming with precedent at the cost of possible ridi- cule-many Americans for some reason believing that ap American man. an Ambassador looks funny in knee brooches and silk stockings The latter view it might recalled, expressed quite express sively by former Ambassador Charles C. Dawes when the question of dress was put up to him.
 It might easily be that Ambassador Bingham Is ting pa atriotism above self in the matter He may have decided to the brooches and the stockings in atonement for the upsetng of the last coronation plans by another American citizen-one who did wear silk stockings but not visible knee brooches. When Anglo American relations at stake what's par of knee brooches?

mediately after a japanese plane had
fired on a group of foreigners which
included American nationals.

The launches were armed with one

pressed by foreign military observers
and officials, however, that the Japa-

doomed battalion" within Chapel, or

Chinese cabinet members apparent
ly were unperturbed by the Chinese
evacuation of the Chapel area of

against Japan five years if necessary.

Shanghai danger zones. Dr. Traut-

There was no confirmation in official
quarters and Chinese officials were
