Rail- PENSION
BILL PASSED
Retirement Money Bill Is
Sent to White House;
Ends Long Feud

WASHINGTON, June %. (UP)
A three-year fued between the
nations railroads and their en-
ployes ended last night when the
Senate passed and sent to the
White House a bill providing re-
tirement pensions for 100000
rail workers.
Provisions of the act are TO be
considered as having been in eff
feet since January |, 1887.
The struggle to protect rail en-
ployes against the hazards and
hardships of penniless old age, de-
MED them when they were ex-
cluded under the Sociay Security
Act, began in 1884 when Con-
gress passed the first railroad re-
tirement bill.
The act was declared unconsri-
tutional by the y. S. Supreme
Court. Congress then passed a
substitute measure designed to
meet the courts objection to the
first one. Railroads challenged it
in the courts while the workers
were contributing about $1,000
900 toward their retirement pen
sions. An additional $4,000, 900
in taxes from the workers and the
roads was impounded by court ac-
ton.
The entire S10O.OOO.OOO will be
returned to those who contributed
it, under terms Of the bill approx
ed yesterday.
The new measure represents a
compromise between the carriers
and the government. The roads
have agreed not to challenge il
further in the courts.

Meanwhile the House received
the Senate version of the $780,
100000 relief bill, disagreed to
its amendments and sent the mea-
sure to conference.
Sen. Josiah w. Bailey, d., n.
c., one of those who fought to
cut the appropriation and put in
restrictions forcing greater con-
tmbutions from the states, issued
statement warning that Con-
greSS has approved a spending
policy bill" rather than relief
measure.

tors and dealers throughout the

The Senate accepted a compro-
mise report extending the Civilian
Conservation Corps for three
years and eliminated provisions
for Civil Service. Then it began
consideration of a House-approv-
ed resolution extending $780,

committee, however, voted n one
