By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 81. Fourteen
railroad unions with 100000 men,
bers rejected an offer by President
Roosevelt's emergency board to
arbitrate the wage dispute between
the carriers and 100000 organized
employees, a spokesman announced
today.
Frank l.. Mulholland, counsel for
the IA incorporating brotherhoods,
in announcing the rejection said,
I'VE have gone this far under statu-
tory procedure. If we had wanted
to arbitrate we would have accepted
arbitration long ago. Congress i'm
posed this procedure under the
Railway Labor Act and we intend
TO go ahead and see how it works. "
Five operating brotherhoods. with
800 1000 members, rejected the arbi-
tration offer yesterday. The carrier
managements had agreed to it.
Both groups of unions rejected al
bitration last summer when the dis
pute was before the National Rail-
road Mediation Board.
Oral arguments before the preSi-
dental fact finding board we're
begun by Mr.. Mulholland after five
weeks of testimony.

Field Training Emphasized.
Practically without reservation
they declared that American built
planes were the best in the world.
They said, however. that they be-
lieved the Army should concentrate
more on field training, and al
though manpower and guns were
good. more of both were needed.
Accompanying Col Sarazev, who
has been in this country six months,
were Col. Pavel F. Berezin, a Rus
sian airman, and Maj. Paul CARA

spell on the central front.
While German dispatches from
the front were devoted mainly to the
southern flank, however, Dienst aus
Deutschland said that mention of
attacks on strongly fortified lines
in the central zone had occurred so
frequently lately it could be as
