Hints that the railroads misht
accept Federal aid IS an alternative
to wage cuts in their search for
economic relief came today from
management officials.
"A railroad strike Is so far, far
away in my opinion" H. A. Enochs,
chairman Of the Managements
Wage Committee, said with q smile,
that there's no use to get worried
about it,"
j. j. Pelley, president of the Asso-
citation Of American Railroads, also
grinned when he told reporters that
any strike was "at least 80 days
away"
Mr.. Pelley asked heads of leading
roads to meet in Chicago Friday to
accept or reject cancellation of a
Is per cent pay reduction. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's fact-finding board
recommended Saturday that the
roads drop that proposal.
Some 900, 900 union railroad work.
ers have voted to strike rather than
accept the cut, but under the Rail-
way Labor Act they cannot walk
out until November %.
To Seek Peaceful Settlement.
Representatives Of labor and man
agement assured Mr. Roosevelt yes
terday they would attempt to reach
a peaceful settlement of the wage
controversy. In turn they received
the Presidents s offer of vigorous sup
port for legislation to help the
carriers.
Mr.. Roosevelt talked separately
with Mr.. Pelley and George Har-
rison. chairman OF the Railway
Labor Executives Association.
They said afterward that the
President suggested joint COM
mittee representing labor and man
agement might try to draft remedial
legislation for congressional con-
sideration.
Mr.. Pelley referred to a six-point
program approved by the railroad
association. 1t includes revision of
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion's rate-making procedure, low
rate Government loans. abolition Of
reduced Government freight rates,
repeal of the long and short haul
rate law, and new regulation of
water transportation.
Mr.. Pelley expressed the opinion
that a general Government lending
program to all roads "is not of much
importance" compared to other fea-
lures of the program.
Carriers to Decide.
Representatives of 139 of the 141
class l roads-those with gross an
nual income of at least $1,000. .000-
had empowered Mr.. Enoch's commit
tee to pursue the wage controversy
to q final settlement.
Mr.. Enochs said yesterday, how
ever, the committee felt it would
not "be the decent thing" to advise
the carriers whether to accept or
reject the presidential boards rec
ommendation.
I'VE have the power to accept or
reject the terms for them" Mr..
Enochs said, but we think it's un-
fair for us to ask the railroads to
do so and so. That's a decision to
be made by the parties themselves"
Omcials of the National Mediation
Board expressed confidence the rail-
roads would comply with the emer-
gency boards recommendations.
They pointed out that in the past
both sides customarily have accepted
such conclusions.

Wage Law Affecs
Newspaper Industry,
Andrews Holds
No Ruling Is Made on
Stutus of Editorial
Employees
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

The Wage and Hour Division con-
siders the newspaper industry gen.
orally in interstate commerce, and
not exempt as service establishments
in intrastate commerce from appli-
cation Of the Faif Labor Standards
Act, it was announced today by Ad-
ministrator Elmer F. Andrews.
Mr.. Andrews disclosed the opinion
OF the division In releasing a copy Of
letter addressed to Elisha Hanson,
attorney for the American News
paper Publishers Association. Mr..
Hanson had requested an admins
tration ruling on the status of news
papers under the section of the act
exempting ANY retail or service es-
tablishment the greater part of
whose selling or servicing is in intra-
state commerce"
Other questions raised by the
newspaper publishers-whether edi-
torial employees are exempt as pro-
fessionals, and problems of comput-
Ing overtime-were not ruled upon
at this time.
In addition to the newspaper rul-
ing. Mr.. Andrews also reported the
following developments:
l. Three complaints of law viola
tlons, including one from the Dis
trict. have been received and are
under investigation. Withholding
Identities, the administrator said the
District complaint was from an en-
ploye who had been discharged for
refusing to work more than 50 hours
per week without overtime compen-
sation. The laws calls for payment
OF overtime wages beyond a hours
OF work per week and the District
complainant said he had put in SO
hours without extra compensat ton,
but had been discharged when he
refused to work longer.
Other Complaints Received.
Other complaints were received
from West Virginia and Kentucky.
the former involving an effort to
force q wage kickback and the lat
ter involving an effort by an en-
ployer to get signed agreement
that employees would work under
the Is cents an hour minimum
wage.
2. Efforts are being pressed to
have other Government agencies
loan employees to the Wage and
Hour Division until Congress can
make sufficient funds available to
pay administrative costs.
Congress provided $4o0, 900 for the
remainder Of the present fiscal year,
but this sum has proved inadequate.
At the present time, the division
has about 40 employees, q few Of
whom have been loaned by other
Government agencies. Most of
such loans have been made by the
Department of Labor, under which
the Wage and Hour Divisioh func-
tions.
Budgetary needs and the employe
problem were discussed yesterday In

Price Of Cream
||sCut 10 Gents
In Dairy War
Producers Preeipitote
Reduction by SIoshine
Charge to Distributor

A war between dairies over the
price of cream threatened in Wash
ington today as all dairies lowered
their quotations. despite the fact
that November ushers in the season
when production drops. The re-
duction amounts to 10 cents quart.
The Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association, an organiza-
ton of 1,50O dairy farmers who
supply most of the milk and cream
sold in the District, precipitated the
cut by slashing the price to the
distributors to whom the associa-
ton sells.
Combat Outside Milk.
The organized farmers took their
step as the opening of a campaign
to combat the competition offered to
their product by cream brought into
the District from beyond the WASH
ington milkshed, which extends from
West Virginia to the Eastern Shore,
and from Pennsylvania almost to
North Carolina.
B. B. Derrick, secretary OF the
Maryland and Virginia Association,
said he would have an announce
ment to make later in the day on
the reasons why the farmers cut the
price when their supply is shrinking.
On the heels of the associations s
action, the Chevy Chase and
Thompson's Dairy, the associations S
chief customers, dropped their
wholesale cream price from IS cents
to IS cents a quart.
Their retail cream prices went
from IS to As cents quart, "a to 27
cents a pint, 18 to Is cents half
pint and II to 10 cents a gill.
Quickly Follow With Cut.
The Embassy Fairfax Dairy, which
buys little of its milk and cream
from the association, quickly fol-
lowed suit in the reduction, under
cutting Chevy Chase and Thompson
in the retail price of quarts and
pints of cream.
Embassy-Fairfax reduced its re-
tail quart price by Is cents, from
SIS to 40 cents, or a nickel below the
other big dairies. The Embassy re-
tail pint price went from 80 to Is
cents. On half pints and gills EN-
bassy, Chevy Chase and Thompson's S
are all in line
The cream battle RACES only over
retail prices, however. Although EN-
bassy's wholesale quart price be-
fore the change was 4S cents, today
it is IS cents, on a level with the
other foremost dairies.
The High Dairy Co., which does al
most a strictly cash and carry busi-
ness, has different considerations In
its price-setting than Chevy Chase,
Thompson or Embassy. Today High
sells coffee cream" for 20 cents a
pint and whipping cream" for SO
cents.

SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

of Hollywood automobile owners
and 7 have been told that they are
a race apart. l am inclined to be-
lieve that because an entire state
that drove after the fashion OF
HOLLYWOOD would soon cease to exist:
The Hollywood driver relies on ollnd
faith in his fellow man. When
HollyWoodian steps into his car ne
points the nose of his car in the
general direction of where ne Is
going, releases the brake, slams the
accelerator to the floorboard, ana
then closes his eyes. What happens
after that depends entirely on the
behavior of the driver of the cars
coming toward him.
The Hollywood traffic directors
did not help to relieve this insane
situation when they placed four
stop signs at each intersection. NO
matter from which direction you ap-
proach a main intersection there
is a stop sign. The cars on the
east, west, north and south sides
all stop, then everybody shifts into
low gear and the cars from all four
sides meet in the middle at the
same time This has a tendency to
cause an accident directly in the
middle Of the street.
I'll say one thing about Holly
wood drivers-they are very sport
ing. No true HollyWoodian would
stop to grumble about the loss OF
such a trifle as a fender or
bumper. In fact, it is considered
very bad form to take the name
and address OF the man who hit
you as long as your car will roll
and the horn will blow
When / left for San Antonio a
general warning was sounded
throughout the state that l had
started. This was a wise move, be-
cause have picked up the traits
of the drivers in all the states
through which | have passed, and
am literally "hell on wheels"
Imperial Valley press., 1938-02-02

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 2. CUP)-
The speedometer on my car read
l3,437 when l left for San Antonio
today, and I propose to tell you of
the various types of drivers I have
encountered literally, too in ac-
cumulating that mileage since
left New York nearly four months
ago.
My observations were made in
more than 25 states, and over trail
that wound haphazardly from New
York to Georgia to Tennessee to
Missouri to Nebraska to Colorado
to Montana to Washington to Cali
fornia and, finally, to Texas.
Just as each section of the coun-
try has its own peculiarities in
accent, behavior and food, so does
each section have its own type of
automobile driver. Take the south,
for example. The southern driver
is of what l have termed the his
torical" type. Put a soutAerner
back of the wheel and the moment
his foot touches the accelerator he
imagines that he is General Pickett
at Gettysburg and starts charging.
Nothing will stop his mad rush
forward save lack of gasoline or
the sweet thud of the back bumper
of a Yankee car.
He is very closely allied in type
to the mid western driver, the only
difference being that the southerner
does his charging down the main
highways while the mid-Westerner
prefers to gain momentum on the
side roads and be at top speed
when he roarsA full tilt on to the
road that has the right of way.
Sometime, somewhere, a southerner
and a mid-Westerner are going to
meet at an intersection and do a
Job of automobile grating that
would cause even a Burbank to
blink in amazement.
My knowledge of California driv-
ers is based chiefly ON the habits
