RAILWAY PARLEYS
WITH LABOR OFF
Discussion of Legislative Plans
Abandoned Because of
Strike Threats.

By the Associated Press.
Railroad management and labor
have abandoned immediate efforts to
prepare legislative recommendation
to ease the carriers troubles.
Carl r. Gray, Union Pacific vice
chairman. said the conferences, sug-
gested by President Roosevelt, were
postponed because OF the possible
nationwide rail strike over Is per
cent pay cut. Mr. Roosevelt shortly
will appoint fact-finding commission
to make last search for a peaceful
solution.
One railroad chief, it was learned,
expressed hope that the labor and
industry spokesmen might meet in
a month. 1t was evident, however,
that the conferees then would have
little time to get program into shape
for the opening OF the next Congress.

by the plan, were shade lower. The

and the Is of 1948 were trifle higher.
Other rail loans followed the gen.

ploying female after 10 p. m.

partment. The inspector testified to-

Miss Bella Rodriques waiting on

Kind Sentiments

As its broadening scope
brings 1t into closer contact
with newspapermen in the
work of putting across the va
cationland advantages Of Con-
necticut, the state publicity
commission was this week re-
minded of a prayer for the
Fourth Estate.
1t was a spontaneous invoca-
ton, uttered a few years ago,
in a middle western state where
the chaplain was called on to
open a session Of the Iegisla-
ture.
The text was:
"And now, dear Lord, bless
the reporters, whose nimble
pens catch our every word al
most before it is uttered.
Like myself they are omni-
present and almost omnipotent.
"If we take the winds of the
morning and fly to the utter
most parts of the earth they
are there.
"They meet us in the jungles
Of Africa; they waylay us in
the solitary canyons of Colo
RADIO and when at last we find
the latitude of the magnetic
pole-behold they are there.
'May their light and good
ness be equal to their power,
and when the General Assem-
bly, of heaven convenes, let no
reporter be excluded. Amen"
