RAIL LEGISLATION
WHIPPED THROUGH
Separate JobIess Program
Faces Uncertain Fate
at White House.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A separate program Of unemploy-
ment insurance for railroad workers
faced an uncertain reception at the
White House today.
The Senate whipped the measure
through with virtually no debate and
without q dissenting voice yesterday,
despite opposition from administration
quarters. The House approved the
same bill earlier in the week.
The Treasury opposed the proposal,
and the Social Security Board advised
congressional committees that It un-
derstood the system was mot In accord
with the program Of the President"
Carriers Oppose Bill.
Railroad union leaders asserted the
program would mean a saving for the
roads and greater benefits for workers.
Representatives of the carriers. dis
putting both premises, said they be-
lieved many provisions of the bill were
unworkable.
Benefits provided in the bill would
be more liberal for most employees and
tax rates would be somewhat lower,
proponents said. than under the exist
ing social security set-up.
Railroad workers now are covered by
unemployment insurance systems in
the States in which they work.
A separate system already has been
set up for old-age pensions for rail
workers under the Railroad Retirement
Board, which also would administer
the unemployment insurance program,
Excludes State Programs.
Railroad employees would be excluded
by the bill from State programs oper-
ated under the social security law.
Instead, the roads would pay q tax OF
3 per cent on pay rolls, up to $500 a
month
The bill would provide a system of
benefits based on the pay of the worker
and the length of time he was unem-
ployed in each l5-day period. He would
have to be unemployed for at least
seven days before receiving any bene-
Ats
Thereafter, he would receive from
SITS to So day for the rest of the
l5-day period. Compensation would
be given for a maximum of approxi-
mately five months. No employe could
receive In one year an amount greater
than 80 times his daily benefit rate.
Although the administration has ex-
pressed opposition to the legislation,
some proponents said they were hope
full President Roosevelt would sign it.
Meanwhile, Chairman O'Connor Of
the House Rules Committee said Con-
gress may be called into special ses-
sion soon "if the expected financial
collapse Of number of the large rail-
roads occurs"
The New Yorker said in a state
ment that the failure of Congress to
enact legislation to aid the roads was
"a matter Of deep concern to me"
because Of the millions OF empolyes
involved.
Many have been laid OIL already
and more may be. adding to our un-
employment and relief problems" he
said.

with her left jerked shut the throttle. The nose

white ribbons that were roads. There were cars
moving along those roads, and a group of farm
buildings almost directly beneath her, and tiny
moving dots that were men who ran toward the
wreck and then halted to peer at the parachute
and the human figure dangling from the
shroudines. There was no sensation of falling
until the last hundred feet, when the earth
seemed to rush to meet her. She gripped the
shroudlnes and pulled with all her strength
an instant before her feet touched. The wind
driven chute dragged her for few yards over
the stubble, then collapsed. Polly rose, shook
herself gingery, found that she was all in one
piece, then grnned as she saw the cars already
halted in the road and the men and women
running toward her across the field.
