Railroad Workers Score Heavily
In Fighting Proposed Pay Cut
At Emergency Board Meeting
Railroad Workers Have Definite Figures At Hand Show
ing Irregularity OF Employment And Low
Part-Time Pay For Men.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) So far
IN the hearings on the proposed rail
road wage cut before the Presidents
emergency fact-fnding board, the
workers fighting that cut have had all
the human interest, all the history, and
at least 80 per cent of the arithmetic.
The management side says in sub
stance that the railroads are losing
money, and therefore must cut wages.
They lay their loss of money to three
things: bad times, competition of the
auto, and the policy Of the govern
ment which by building power plants
leaves the railroads less coal to haul.
The tactics of the workers are best
shown from their opening statements
of their two attorneys, Charles M
Hay and Tom Davis.
Much Part-Tim Work
Hay gave some figures on railroad
wages and work that are nothing less
than astounding. He showed from
the records of the Railroad Retire
ment Board that of the 1,740,799
workers and officials employed on
Class | roads last year, only $4,000
or 52.73 per cent were employed in
all the II months of the year, while
822,89 or 47.27 per cent were en-
ployed during II months or less. The
average wage of the part-time 822,899
workers was 1857 a year, or S3O.69
month.
Until Hay spoke, probably not a
thousand persons in the United States
outside of railroad forces knew how
irregular is railroad employment, and
how petty the part-time pay.
More Work, Less Pay
Hay went on with his deadly fig
ures. Railroad workers are doing
more work and getting less pay. Rail-
roads now get almost 92 per cent more
work per dollar of pay than they did
in 1920. Railroad wages per hour
have increased ! cent-1.4 per cent,
while wages per hour in manufactur-
ing industry had increased 18 per cent.

cold water. Now pick over one
and one-half quarts of shrimp.
Cream a tablespoon Of butter,
add one teaspoon Of powdered
mustard, one-fourth teaspoon Of
white pepper, one tablespoon of
celery seed, a pinch Of grated
nutmeg, two eggs, a cup of very
fine breadcrumbS, and season
with salt. Mix these ingredients
well and add to the ShrimpS.
Drain the peppers well and stuff
them with the mixture. Set
them in a buttered baking pan,
open side up. Dust with cracker
dust and top with bits of butter.
Pour in the baking pan from the
side, one cup of hot water and
bake in a hot oven for 20
minutes. Serve with a tomato
sauce.
Sweet Potato Pie
Boil the potatoes and peel
them. Rub through a colander
and to every pint of potatoes
take a cupfuI Of rich milk or
cream. Beat four eggs separate
ly. Cream a cup of butter and
one Of sugar together. Add the
yolkS to the sugar and butter
and beat well. Stir in the pota-
toes and beat again. Season
with a little grated nutmeg and
wine glass of brandy. Then gen.
tly stir in the beaten whites of

this mixture. Put into the
oven and bake. This must not

UTHEN the purchase Of a new
w spring outfit becomes the
paramount interest, we just
can't wait until we have every
thing from shoes to hats all
arrayed in our wardrobe ready
for the first nice day. And while
every modern girl loves to shop,
there are a few Of us who will
always buy things first, and then
wonder whether or not they are
suitable.
Adapt
Modes
This happens to some of us
every change of season and
there is really nothing so de-
pressing as having assembled a
nice outfit, and then realizing 1t
Is not suitable to our type. For
instance, we know all shoulders
are accentuated, and while we
must confor INTO fashions trend,
there is no excuse for the short
necked, wide little person wear
ing things to make her look
wider and shorter. While wide
shoulders do detract some from
the hips, stout persons will have
to be careful about every SEM
blance of added width. The rule
Is to wear trim, well-cut gar
ments and be conservative. Only
the slender, exotic ones can ef-
feet the unusual.
ColOrfuL
Season
There is also color to con.
slider, and, according to the fore
casts by those who know, this
will be a colorful season, so be
as gay as you like, but do think
Of your color chart.
You know if you are a red
head, you will not yearn to wear
the puppies and orchids; even
though they may look nice
against your fair skin and seem
harmonious, they will not add
to your chic, so leave them for
the brunette. She (when her
skin is clear will look lovely in
them. You know you can wear
all the rusts, greens, blue, gray,
brown, yellow, and, of course,
black and white, but be care

HOLLYWOOD, March .
G.N.s0.-To strip this story to
bare essentials, 1t will be every
woman for herself in the 1898
Easter fashion parade.
Hollywood's screen StylistS-
who set the pace, Paris and

spoke their forecast for Interna-
tional News Service today, and
the result was as scrambled as

Col0Ts
To be briefer-"copy cats" are
out.
Easter will find the annual
show-'em-off parade rampant
with color.
Put scarlet with shell pink,
purple with orange, green with
magenta, and you'll really be do
ing all right.
Wear pancakes, skillets. stove
pipes or barrels on your head,
and no one will turn to look
twice.
Adrian, Md-M's famous fash
ion designer, takes up the argu-
ment at this point.
"Now, more than ever before,
discrimination on the part OF
the individual woman comes
into play" he says. with such
a variety from which to choose,
she must be sure that her par"
ticular type Of madness suits
her individual personality"
Beautiful
Ensemble
Other stars have attuned
their attire to the moment.
Virginia Bruce, long the epitome
of smartnesS, will venture forth
in a new redingote, with a dress
Of vivid electric blue and brown
silk. The coat is of beige wool,
fitting Snugly, with lining and
rilI collar of matching print.
Her hat, of straw, features .

creased crown, and is trimmed
by a black veil.
Joan Crawford, conservative
in a one-piece frock of sand
with a chalk and white stripe
and white trim, goes the grand
wizer of the Arabian Nights one
better with her hat. It's small
spiral affair created in straw
and twisted bands of soft fabric.

yellow and purple. The dress,
semi-peasant in type and created
from silk. is yellow, dashed
across with sprays of brilliant
purple flowers. Her picture hat
is Of purple straw. Purple &C
ceSsorieS complete the picture.
For evening wear during EaS-
ter festivities, Hollywood's stars
will favor tulle. Betty Cradle,
vivaciouS leader of the gay
younger set and recent bride Of
Jackie Coogan, has a captivat-
ing model of electric blue tulle
over a matching slip of taffeta.

Il ing to concentrate on
keeping young. That will
come before everything else.
I'm not much of a house.
keeper, but if I keep my
youth, I'll keep my husband.
Before 80 girl should ac-
quire intelligence. Looks
will take care of themselves.
But after 80 the emphasis
goes on looks. You don't
need to worry about losing
your intelligence. - Married
Woman Just Turned Thirty"
Is that so? 1t may be what
most young matrons want to be-
lieve, but think I would qualify
that business about the chief
task after 80 being to keep
young. That's fine thought for
the single girl out Of her
twenties, but married women
should think twice before adopt
ing it as a creed.
Don't Mind
"Snlile Wrinkles"
There's no disputing that a
girl who reaches the age Of 80
still in a state Of (shall I say)
single misery" should begin tG
watch the age lines pretty close
ly. But the married woman has
duty as well as beauty to mind.
Which leads up to this:
There's nothing that irks a man
as much as a poorly kept house.
A few Smile-wrinkles in q
wife'S face never caused a man
as much distress as wrinkles in
the curtains, his shirts or an
unmade bed. The wife who does
a good job with the vacuum
cleaner is likely to be popular
with hubby than the one who
spends most Of her time with a
cleansing cream in front of the
mirror.
You can pay your husband
no greater compliment than to
keep his home spic and span. It
makes him feel important and
it makes him proud of his castle
and, better still, Of you.
Judged By
Your Home
I'd like to know how many
family quarrelS have been
started because a man came
home from an office neatly
kept by his stenographer into
a home Uttered and Strewed
with everything from old news
papers to baby'S toys. Lady,
don't you know that he sub
consciously judges you by the
house you keep? Beauty Of face
is only skin deep, but the nat
ural desire of a woman to have
a tidy home is soul deep.
If he's grouchy and irritable,
it might very well be a sup
pressed discomfort about some
thing in his castle. (AlSo
check his stomach.) But if he's
bright and pleasant, you should
feel amply rewarded.
Keep Attractive
But
More and more, however, men
are beginning to realize what a
tough job the little woman at
home has cut out for her day.
You can thank the five-day-week
and husbands day off for that.
But, whatever you do don't
think the most important pur-
suit the other side of 80 is the
quest for eternal youth. No one
ever found it yet. Keep attrac-
tive-keep very attractive. And
remember that your natural
charm-the real reason your
husband married you-will take
care of his love. Look well when
he comes home and he'll for
get how you looked when he left
early in the morning.
Now for the rule: Fifteen
minutes a day for beauty-and
many hours for duty. And re-
member, your husband married
a wife, not a doll!

what's required. s. A.
Still, it's natural On the part OF an.
obviously suspected witness to testify
as balkily as he can. Senator
O'Mahoney realizes as much and is do
that he doesn't want victims; he's
after enlightenment. /.
In addition to having said all this,
my impression is that he has said it
in a fashion to make him widely be-
lieved.
Investigations and Investigations.
There are two outstanding kinds-of
Investigations. ~ e4 stsn.i,f
One type of investigator thinks he
sees evils which he wishes to uncover
and correct. He's honest but he has
his mind made up in advance. He
may be right, too. Nevertheless, the
folk he's probing" are bound to
short circuit him if possible.
A second type of inquisitor seeks
mainly to make himself personally
prominent. I don't assert that he's
dishonest Unquestionably he consid-
ers that he has tolerably good case;
he wouldn't try to advertise himself
by identifying himself with a poor
one. But he doesn't care so much for
the case ''per Sc" as he does for his
own limelight. If he really accom-
plishes something in the public inter
est it is, to him, welcome enough
by-product, but it isn't his essential
article of manufacture; his essential
aim is to be the main thing in a
spectacular, popular investigation.
Senator O'Mahoney's effort appears
to be in a class by itself.
Had the Wyomingite chosen, he
could have been practically the sole
inquisitor. Instead he made his COM
mittee a three jointed Senate,
House of representatives and Exc
cutive. Indeed, he has somewhat OBJ
scured himself t ~ ~
Moreover. If he had had partisan
motives, he would have started his
hearings ahead of November 8. in or
der to Influence election day results.
He didn't do that. He deliberately
postponed his body's activities until

Principally O'Mahoney is a New

packing, but he's exceptionally on the
square.
Here's his philosophy:
