gency F act-Finding
Board in the railway
crisis today recommend
ed against a proposed
wage reduction by the
carriers, which had been
scheduled for December
1. The board, headed
by Judge Walter P.
Stacy, told the President
railway wages are not
high as compared with
those in comparable in
dustries.
BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's Fact-Finding
Board put into final form for delivery
to the White House today it's report
on the deadlock between railroad labor
and management over IS per cent
wage reduction.
Mr.. Roosevelt arranged to receive
the report at 1890 pm. White House
aides said it would be made public
as soon as feasible after the President
had studied it, probably during the
afternoon.
None of the board members would
give any hint as to what conclusions
they had reached in their effort to
avert the strike vote by nearly
1000, 900 rail workers in protest against
the wage cut.
The board was appointed a month
ago. Its chairman is Chief Justice
Walter P. Stacy Of the North Carolina
Supreme Court. Other members are
Dean James NJ Lands of Harvard
Law School and Prof. Harry A. Mills
Of Chicago University.
Need Not Be Accepted.
Neither side need accept the boards
finding. although workers must re.
frain from striking and the manage
ment from cutting wages for 80 days
after publication of the boards con-
clusions. That is requirement Of
the Railroad Labor Act under which
the board was appointed.
The report originally was scheduled
TO be made by midnight Of last Thurs
day. The board asked for a two-day
extension of the deadline. however,
and both railroad labor and manage
ment agreed.
Since October II the board has re-
viewed arguments, charts and data
presented by the opposing parties at
public hearings that started the last
day of September.
Several times the members called in
spokesmen for railroads or the brother
hoods to clarity some argument or
exhibit.
The wage dispute originated last
spring when group of railroad lead
ers decided a general pay reduction
was the only way the industry could
meet financial stress They estimated
the Is per cent cut would save $780,
OOO, 900 annually.
Labor Refuses Cut.
Brotherhood leaders said labor would
not agree to pay cut and suggested
that management join in seeking Gov
eminent loans and legislative relief
A group conferred with President
Roosevelt April 4, but received no
promises.
On May IL the railroads served
ondcial notice of the pay reduction,
to be effective July l. Numerous
conferences failed to produce . set
tlement and services of the National
Mediation Board were invoked, also
without settlement. Meanwhile the
cut was held in allegiance.
Finally the railroads served notice
that October would be the effective
date of the reduction. Labor countered
with vote for a strike.

occasions were still too frequent on which she had to bite her cheeks to keep from giggling. After helping at her first operation she was humili- atingly sick at her I>omach. And there was the historic day when unable to find a seat in the operat- ing amphitheater' w:lere Dr. Sar- gent was to do something very dar- ing in the way of laparotomies- she climbed to point of vantage in a tree that gave on one of the win dows. It should have been an in- structive afternoon but for the fact that Tran placed too much confi- dence in rotten limb, and awoke to find herself in bed with two broken ribs, which, 1t seemed. Dr. Benchley had already set and strapped.
 When she tried to thank him, he snapped with brief return to the Bob Benchley Tran used to know, "Oh, Agility if you would only stop being such a precious little idiot. If--"
 Then he turned crimson. broke 1 oil abrutply, gathered up the stethoscope he had been using and stalked out of the room.
 But that hadn't meant any thing, after all, it appeared; for a day or so alter Beula Tagg told Tran that everyone in the hos pital was talking about Dr. Bench ley's affair with Mrs. Maitland a pretty young widow who had been patient.
 Not that 1t mattered, for three times in the last month Tran had been alone with a patient when Dr. Sargent came in. Once he had even smiled at her and said Thanks. That helps lot," when she had moved light to better position for him without being asked.

All that mattered was that he should be alive and here where she could see him sometimes, strid- ing around with that look he had of knowing that the world was his oys- ter, and exactly what he was going to do about 1t Only that now everything would be entirely differ ent, because she understood now that he knew how to laugh, and how to be kind And some time she was going to work with him.
 Naturally, when one might con- template radiant god even If only from a remote distance one had no time for lesser beings like the Bob Benchleys of the world.
 The situation might easily have proved difficult when, early in Trans second year, she was as- signed to duty in Emergency. For young Dr. Benchley had been re- tained at Saint Vincent,s as as- sistant to Dr. Sargent; and it was he who was most frequently called to Emergency in an advisory ca pacity when the internes found themselves beyond their profes- sional depth.
 But young Dr. Benchley seemed to have retired with definite final ity to distances of his own. He was brisk, businesslike, and i'm personally courteous when theil paths crossed.

VISITORS STARTLE
 PATRONS OF PARK
Physical Likenesses o Abe Lincoln, President
 Roosevelt Amazing

Persons seeking some degree of relief yesterday in Library park were bemazed when two tall men, one resembling President Franklin Delano Roosevelt the other, Abra- ham Lincoln, halted during the afternoon before the statute of Ben- jamin Franklin and spent some minutes there in apparent discus sion of the statuary.
 But explanation of the visit of the doubles" of the current pres ident and his companion was made later. Seems that the one who re- sembles President Roosevelt is J. Henry Smythe, Jr., the New York sloganeer who, seeking to popular ize Benjamin Franklin, brought the statue of the latter to Water bury seventeen years ago. He was on tour of inspection of Frank liniana, or whatever the interest in the life Of the great Colonial pa triot and inventor might make him.
 The other individual ringer" for Lincoln, was Rev. Dr. Lincoln Cas- well, of Stepney, host to Smythe for the weekend Both of the doubles" of presidents announced Republican sympathies. however and Smythe bemoaned the demo- ton" of Franklin's profile to the half-cent stamp, Is agitating to have his idols face appear on a penny, with Lincoln on the nickel.
 Isn't Franklin the patron saint of thrift?" he queried," and thus unpopular with the New Dealers?' Thus, the reason for his move In behalf of new faces on certain coins and stamps was explained.
 When he brought the Franklin statue to Waterbury, the trip was attended by public celebrations at Philadelphia and Baltimore, and Smythe said to trip was made to make the public Franklin conscious

How Morconi Developed Wireless Teleqrophy

THE urge to experiment in phys
 ical and electrical science gripped Guglielmo Marconi at an early age. As boy he began his studies at Bologna, Florence and Leghorn, Italy. By the time he had reached 2l he was thoroughly convinced that a system of teleg- raphy through space could be pro- vided by use of electromagnetic waves.
 Interesting experiments had al- ready been conducted in. this field, but Marconi was the first to de- wise the practical means to effect a new and revolutionary method of wireless communication. Mar coni's first crude efforts estab- lishcd communication over q mile. Soon after, Marconi rapidly in- creased this distance.
 In July, 1897, company was formed in London to commercial iZe Marconi's work. The next year wireless telegraph was first employed between lightship and shore. In 1899 it was used to ef- feet rescue at sea. Next Mar conf established communication across the English channel. On Dec. l2, 1901, he succeeded, on his first attempt, in transmitting and receiving signals across the Atlantic ocean from Cornwall, England, to St. Johns. Ncwfound- land. So was wireless really born.
 Marconi died a year ago at 63. He appeared to be on the threshold of new and greater discoveries. He is shown above on one of three current Italian stamps hon0ring his memory.

old mule-drawn canal boats brought
back for excursions to revive the ro-

Calling attention to Secretary Ickes'
recent disclosure that action has been

Secretary Ickes announces he will

back. want him to restore the mules
