made are: Four prizes of $3.50 each,
four at 800 each and 112 honorable
mention awards at $50 each
Photographic technique as we'll as
subject matter shows great improve
ment in general over entries of pre-
vious years. More attention has been
given to composition and lighting.
Filters Improve Pictures.
Land and sea scapes offer further
proof that amateurs are giving more
and more thought to their picture tax
ing. Color filters have been used ex-
tersively to darken and give color to
skies that might otherwise appear an
unattractive, chalky white. Filters
have been wisely used, too in dra-
matically picturing clouds and to bring
out color tones.
Vacations and avocations have been
pictured more dramatically than ever
before. More thought has been given
to picturing animals and pets. They
are not foolishly posed. but show that
care has been given to each shot in
an effort to inject real interest and
appeal in each picture.
Babies and children are we'll repre-
sented in their class and again more
is apparent.

RAIL WAGE CUT
PLAN REITERATED
Management's Intention Is
Voiced in Testimony
Before Hearing.
Ey the Associated Press.

EE the Associated Press.
A reiteration by management of its
intention to put through Is per cent
reduction in railroad wages marked
the end yesterday of testimony taking
by President Roosevelt's emergency
fact-flnding board.
The board. which is attempting to
avert Nationwide strike by nearly
10000 railroad workers opposing
the proposed cut, will hear concluding
arguments tomorrow.
Then it will have until October 81
to submit report to the President.
Both the wage reduction and the
workers strike have been deferred by
law until after this report is made.
j. j. Pelley. president of the Ameri-
can Association of Railroads was the
final witness for the carriers. He
told the board:
There is nothing that can be done
for this railroad industry that would
obviate the necessity of prosecuting
this wage reduction to the last.
We went through this thing one
end to the other before this wage
movement was started. and I know
from my own knowledge that this is
the only way out for us
Speaking for nearly all the ma jor
railroads in this country. he denied
testimony by Chairman Wheeler of
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee that railroads were wasting
81 900, 900 a day.
Mr.. Peiley asserted that railroads
were pleased by legislative relief pro-
grams offered by labor and congress
sional leaders, then added: :
But what / want to say to the
board is that there is no plan. there
is none that can be made. there is
none that can be put in effect that will
meet this emergency we are in now
Senator Wheeler criticized Mr.
Pelley's testimony in statement is
sued several hours after the hearing
ended.
He said the railroads were "likely
to postpone cleaning house" so Ions
as they could go with their hat!

the Nations busiest harbor was
reached tonight by union officials and
a group OF towboat operators.

mands, will be submitted tomorrow
night to the general membership Of
the United Marine Division, Local 1913,
of the International Longshoremen's S
Association "a. r. L., which called
out 1000 men.
Pending the membership vote, the
union continued the strike, which de-
layed docking of several ns-Atlan-
tic liners today and forced others to
pull away at sailing time without the
customary aid of tugs. An operators
spokesman estimated the strike would
cost owners $35, 900 day and workers
$500 daily in wages.
viii Urge Acceptance.
Joseph P. Ryan, I. L. A. president,
said he would recommend that the
union accept the operators terms Of a
$5-a-month wage increase for licensed
men and 81 so for unlicensed men.
That is our rock-bottom price" said
Mr.. Ryan. The union originally had
nd ivap
Its men, but cut this to SIS and $40
before calling the strike at midnight
last night.
James G. Conway, president of the
Towboat Exchange, representing the
owners, said closed shop clause for
the workers also would be recon-
mended to the operators
William v. Bradley Of the union
said 1000 men on 225 boats in New
York harbor and adjacent waters
answered the strike call. Even gar
base scows were being moved only
at Mayor La Guardias request
The only tugs moving in the har-
Dor, Mr.. Bradley said, were those
serving coastwise ships, railroad tugs,
-propelling oil tankers and tugs
from the Erie Canal which happened
to be in the harbor when the strike
started. The strike did not affect
them.
The Nieuw Amsterdam Of the Hol-
land d-American Line docked at Hobo

Times, spoke on Picking Staff" at
the concluding session Of the sixth
annual convention held by the Asso-

sociation.
Il like college-bred reporters" Mr..
Aronson said. Their family back
ground is generally good. And their
training has taught them to explore
the mind.
But staff of all college men would
not function to the best advantage
We need men whose natural ability
and curiosity outweigh their lack of
formal educa tion-who know some of
the things not taught in kindergarten
For reporters get most Of their
training from other, and older, re-
rorters.'
Summer Training Ideal.
Mr., Aronson said ideal training for
aspiring reporters was that provided
by summer vacation work on news
Papers, undertaken by college under
graduates. AS for women, he said
best results came from those who had
found a chance Ito get their feet on
the ground" in other pursuits before
entering newspaper work
John Paschall of the Atlanta Jour-
nal told his conferees he expected
newspaper readers of the future to
demand word pictures" whose graph
Il quality would match that of good
news photographs.
The public is demanding better
text as we'll as better pictures" he
ayerred
GOOD newspaper text is not an eye
strain. The newspaper r-reading public
is bigger than ever before. Radio, in
stead of taking readers away from us,
Is giving us readers"
