cent.
George NJ Harrison. representing

fected by the law, which will fix a
minimum wage of Is cents an hour.
Both Sides Agree.
Both sides likewise agreed that hour
provisions of the acts-did not affect
rail employees. '
Opening the railroads final argu-
ments, Mr.. Alderman asserted that
financial conditions of the roads are
such that they require the pay cut.
The brotherboods have voted to strike
rather than to accept it.
They say put the railroads through
the wringer' and then they bring in
Senator Wheeler Democrat, of Mon

in these reorganization cases." Mr.
Alderman said. This whole case has
been lot of now you see it and now

Of the brotherhoods, said in argu-
ments prepared for delivery later in

mated by chronological improvements.

sides today the board will study the
evidence it has received and report
its recommenda tions to President

BY PRINTERS UNION
Copies of Plea Sent to Lewis and
Green-C. I. o. Is Blamed
for Dissension.

Peace and reconciliation between
the American Federation of Labor and
the Committee for Industrial Organl-
zation was asked in a motion adopted
by the Columbia Typographical Union
Yesterday at its regular meeting.
The union wants the warning labor
leaders to accept the plan OF Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins, who suggested
each organization name Intermediates
to iron out the differences which have
split labor in this country. Copies
of the plea for harmony were sent
today to William Green, A. F. OF l..
president, and John L. Lewis, c. I. O.
chief.
In addition, the typos agreed to
contact leading printer locals to join
in the reconciliation movement. John
B. Dickman, typo head, said today
he did not know how effective the
plea would be, but indicated it pri-
marily depended on the attitude Of
Mr.. Lewis. 1T all depends on him."
he said, adding Lewis opposition has
kept the c. I. o. and the A. F. Of L..
apart.
John Locher, head of the Central
Labor Union, said he did not know
about the Typographical Unions mo-
ton and did not know whether the
subject would be discussed at the
meeting of his organization tonight.
Il have just returned from month
In Texas. where I attended the A. F.
Of l.. convention in Houston, and l
haven't had time to look into the
matter" he said.
