Rail Improvement Needs
Put at S716,784,374

American railroads should spend
$7l6.784.374 during the next three
years for improvements and to make
up deferred maintenance, according
70 a survey released today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The figures were based on lis re-
plies to statistical missionaries
sent to the railroads by the I. c. C.
last December. The I. c. C. said
summary of the replies was being
issued for public information, but
had not been considered or adopted
by the commission.
The study showed that at the close
OF 1888 there was deferred main
tenance on the railway properties
amounting to s283, ,820,0 ,066. assuming
traffic as large as that of 1897
to be in prospect. The reports also
indicated that S495 ,757 LOG should be
spent during the next three years
for additions, betterments and ex-
tensions to enable the carriers to
handle traffic more cheaply or ex-
peditiously. 1t was not considered
necessary that all of the deferred
maintenance be made up in the
next three years.
The report pointed out that the
railroads would not necessarily need
loans for all this work, because much
of the expense could be met out of
revenues If traffic returned to the
1887 level.

Wage Law Exemption
OF White Collar
Workers Discussed
Persons Making More
Than $2,400 q Yeor
Would Be Affected
Ey the Associated Press,

E3 the Associated Press.
White collar" workers above a
specified salary level would be ex-
empt from the Federal labor stand
ards law under an amendment dis
cussed with the House Labor Com
mittee yesterday by officials of the
Wage Hour Administration.
Some committee members said
the idea of the administration was
that the proposed exemption should
not apply to persons making less
than $2,40O a year.
The said Elmer F. Andrews, Wage
Hour Administrator. expressed no
opinion, but that his legal aides
outlined the amendment as one pos
sible solution of complaints that the
laws limitation on working hours
interfered with the work of news
papermen, commercial artists and
numerous other groups.
The wage-hour attorneys indi-
Gated, it was reported, that they
thought $1,000 should be the salary
level above which the exemption
would apply, but that a level as
low as s2,400 would be acceptable.
Others have suggested exempting
persons making $1,000 or more.
Mr. Andrews, Calvert Magruder,
counsel for the Wage Hour Admin
istration, and Rufus Poole, Mr.. Ma
gruder's assistant, appeared before
the Labor Committee at a closed
session.
Mrs. Mary T. Norton, Democrat,
of New Jersey. chairman of the
committee, predicted afterward that
the wage-hour law would be amend
ed at this session of Congress in an
effort to meet some complaints and
save the statute from a fate like
N. r. AS
The committee was in agreement
on few amendments that would
make the bill much stronger. she
said. and it felt these amendments
would be in the interest of labor.

Judge Roedy's Class

Judge Ellen x. Raedy began her
career as first woman member of
the National University Law School
faculty last night with a few tips
to the class on court etiquette.
Girls, she said, should not wears
hats in the court room nor should
men wear overcoats. Lawyers are
officers Of the court, she said, and
ought to conduct themselves ac-
cordlngly.
Judge Raedy admitted this does
not come within the field of legal
ethics which she was teaching, but
thought it would not be amiss to
devote some attention to courtroom
courtesy.
The new professor took over ner
duties after a little ceremony in
which she was introduced by Walter
Bastian, whom she succeeds.

for assuring peace"
I'VE are more likely to have stabil-

these powers in the Presidents

Senator Townsend, Republican, of
Delaware asked why these powers
should be in control of the President
instead of Congress.
For the same reason as having
national defense in his hands," Mr..
Wallace replied, adding that prompt
action might be needed.
Senator Adams, Democrat, of
Colorado asked: Would it be to our
advantage to devalue our currency
today?"

Mr.. Wallace asserted that was
necessary to meet possible foreign

If this were true. Senator Adams
asked, then should not the presi-
