Rail
Strike


CHICAGO, Sept. 5. CUP)-Nine.
teen Railroad Brotherhoods an
nounced today that their 1,l50,0OO
members had voted overwhelmingly
to strike for increased wages and
other concessions from the nations
booming carriers.
Zero hour for the strike was set
for 6 pm, Sept. 11-but this does
not mean that the lines, burdened
with defense traffic. will become
idle at that time. The strike call
merely projects the controversy into
new stage of mediation under the
National Railway Labor Act.
No strike is possible for at least
60 and possibly 80 days,
The strike vote-which swept the
membership by 95 to 100 per cent
ma jorities-brought to an end the
second stage set up by the railway
labor act after weeks of direct labor
railway negotiations had reached
Next step is for the National
Railway Mediation board, sitting
here, to notify President Roosevelt
that an emergency exists. The pres
ident is expected to appoint spe-
cial fact finding commission to stu
dy the issues and no strike may
occur during the go days this COM
mission has in which to make its
report.
Presidents of the big five" oper-
ating brotherhoods declared their
members voted 987 per cent for a
walkout, the largest vote in the
history of the big five in favor of
a strike
Persons close to the negotiations
of the past several weeks said the
closest the carriers had come to
meeting the Brotherhoods' demands
for 80 to Al per cent wage increases
was an offer of 10 per cent in
crease for the duration of the de-
fense industry boom.

The probability that the subma-
rine commander mistook the Greer

elusive for in all the weeks the
navy has been patroiling the wat
ers between the United States and
Iceland, this was the first attack
on an American war vessel. But If
the torpedoes we're fired knowingly
at an American ship it would pre-
sage a fundamental change in
German policy toward American
Warships in the zone of German
maritime operations, and a series
of such incidents.

argued hat it would bear most
heavily on Americans earning less
than $50 a week, who, he said, COM
prise the great mass of car owners.
The vote against La Follette's
motion was announced as 35 to 80.
La Toilette told the senate that

Chairman Walter F.. George, D,
Ca, of the finance committee, an
nounced the action after a series
of hasty conferences with opponents
of the community property provi-
sion.
He said, however, that the issue
would be brought before congress
when new bill is introduced to
set up revised procedures for ad-
ministering the tax laws. That bill
is expected to be offered soon
THE committee has made this
agreement in full recognition of
the fact that the senators from those
eight community property states
should and have a right to present
their cases to congress and the
country George told the senate.
Sen. Tom Connally, D., Tex,
opened the attack on the communi-
ty property levy, which hits directly
at husband-Wife incomes in the
eight community property states. In
those states, the totat income of a
married couple may be.sooled and
then divided in half for tax pur-
poses-making it possible, in many
instances, to reduce total taxes on
the income.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5. UP)-
Donald NJ Nelson, key official in
the new supply priorities and allo-
cation board, met today with Ber-
nard M. Baruch, head of the old
World War Industries board who
advocates "one man with authority
to head the defense program.
Nature of the meeting was not
disclosed but it was believed they
surveyed priorities problems in the
light OF Baruch's experiences with
them in the last war.
Baruch held a long luncheon con-
ference with President Roosevelt
yesterday. Some hours later the
president issued an executive order
establishing new division in the
Office of Production Management
that will help spread defense orders
among little factories which are
not now participating in the rear
mament program.
The executive order, which brings
about the second major reorganiza-
ton in the defense administrative
setup within a week, created a divi-
sion of contract distribution. Mr..
Roosevelt named Floyd B. Collum,
Atlas Corp, president, as its direc-
tor. Previously, the president estab-
lished the supply priorities and al
location board with Vice President
Henry A. Wallace as its chairman
and Nelson as its executive officer
Baruch has been especially criti-
cal of the administrators tardi-
ness in taking advantage of the lat
ent productive capacities of small
businesses. He told White House
correspondents yesterday that the
new supply board represented a

bombers lay in ruins on the cliffs
of a north Russian naval-air base,
presumably the island of Kron-
stadt, off Leningrad.
GERMAN VERSION
The German version of the battle
of Leningrad was that operations
of encirclement were proceeding,
but unofficially it was acknowledge
ed that resistance was so strong
that a direct assault was uncertain
The relieving Russian counter
drives may decide the outcome more
directly than the embattled defend
ers in the suburbs. In addition, the
Russians were fighting to keep
open their lines in the north and
London heard that the Red army
was making progress along the Arc
tic coast in a sea and land drive
near the port of Petsamo.
On the Mediterranean 'front.', the
British navy reported successful
opera lions against Italy. British
submarines sank three Italian ships,
and damaged two others. A liner OF
% 900 tons, probably the Duilio, a
tanker and supply ship were
sunk, the admiralty said, while a
10000 ton cruiser (probably the
Trento) and supply ship were
damaged.
WHOLE FRONT AFLAME
The whole Russian front appear
ed to be in action from the Arctic
coast to the Black Sea reaches of
the Dnieper.
London heard that a little-re-
ported Soviet offensive in the Arctic
is now nearing PetSamo, Finlands
outlet to the Arctic sea. Capture of
Pesamo would give the Russians
another major entry port for sup
plies from Britain and the United
States. 1t also would afford an ad-
vanced base for operations toward
far northern Norway, in coopera-
ton with British sea operations on
the same front.
On the 175-mile jagged sector of
front in the Smolensk- -Gomel area
the Russians still were attacking
and, according to reports, forcing
the Germans back.
Along the Dnieper the Russians
and Germans had similar cross
river operations in progress. Berlin
claimed that all the Soviet landing
operations failed. Moscow said the
same thing about Che German oper-
ationS.
The Russians reported that two
German thrusts across the Dnieper
were repulsed and that the 263rd
German infantry division had been
smashed with a loss of 1000 men
in a six day battle Some IA Ger
man planes we're said to have been
destroyed at Nazi bases west of Lake
linen.
The Russian air force made a
night attack on Berlin. The Ger
mans admitted that 30 persons were
