Grew-an able diplomat but one
who may need skillful support at
this time in what happens to be the
most critical period in the history
of the two peoples. The way to
peace can be found if the will to
peace is strong enough. The Ameri-
can people want, as do the Japanese
people, to avoid a war that will &C
complish nothing that sane counsel
and self-restraint could not better
achieve.

The threatened railroad strike
has been averted. Under present
conditions a tie-up of the rail
transportation system of the
country would be disastrous. The
railroad employees, as well as the
railway management. realized
this. 1t may be that some of
the employees believed that it
would be we'll to force the hand
Of the Government and have it
run the railroads of the coun-
try-even 90 to permanent Gov
eminent ownership.
That, however, is not a popular
idea with the American people,

freight brakeman, $2,507. An en-
gineer or motorman on a passen-
ger train averaged 1852, on a
through freight $3,147 and on a
local freight 1896. Firemen
averaged less than the engineers
and motormen, but still were we'll
up in the wage scale.
The point made by railroad
management is that the rates of
pay for the employees have gone
up materially. both hourly and
per annum. in the last decade.
The increases have outstripped
those made by other groups of
workers. The gains-and, indeed,
the pay-of railroad employees
have exceeded by far the gains of
the average farmer, for example.
A fact-finding board. appointed
by the President, to 90 into the
question Of railroad wages and
the ability Of the roads to pay,
recommended on November 5 the
following increases in pay: For
the operating group, 7l2 per
cent increase, and for most Of the
others, an increase of 9 cents an
hour. These recommendations
were very different from the orig
inal demands of the employees.
The brotherhoods baked, al
though the management was
willing to accept the proposed in
creases. The strike call was the
next step-to take effect Decem-
Der 7. This has been averted by
a further compromise.
Legislation Pushed.
While the efforts of the media
tors continued in the railroad
situation. the House yesterday
tackled so called anti-strike leg
islation. with the Vinson bill and
its cooling of period provision,
the House Labor Committee bill
also with cooling of period
and additional proposals for con-
citation and mediation, and the
Smith bill, far more drastic and
prohibiting mass picketing, etc.
as a series of choices.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee has reported favorably the
Connally bill which permits the
Government to take over defense
plants in which strikes or lock-
outs have occurred, and freezing
the open or closed shop status in
these plants.
The great trouble with the Ia
Dor legislation proposed is that
it fails to get at the seat of labor
troubles. Under existing laws
and their administration, labor
unions are exempt from the op-
Grafton of the antitrust laws.
The Supreme Court has so ruled.
They are exempt from the op-
Grafton Of the injunction process.
There is nothing in the laws to
compel publicity of receipts or
expenditures of labor unions. or
the taking of strike vote by
secret ballot before a strike can
be called.
And apparently there is to be
no real attempt to remedy condi-
tions which play into the hands
OF unscrupulouS union leaders.
The chances are that. when bill
Is passed. it will be more or less
ineffective. Not even that kind OF
law will pass if the labor unions
have their way.

Italian Battle Dead
Raised 10 1900 in
British Estimates
Rescued Fascist Captain
Indicates Sinking Of
35,000-Ton Bottleship
By LARRY ALLEN,

Associated Press War correspondent.
ABOARD THE BRITISH FLAG
SHIP H. M. S. WARSPITE AT
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, April l.
British officers said tonight on their
return from the epic Friday night
battle west of Crete that almost
1000 italian officers and men were
knocked out of the war in the en-
gagement. Three thousand were
believed dead.
Indications from an Italian cap
tain that the 35,000-ton battleship
Vittorio Veneto had sunk raised the
probable Italian loss in the battle
to eight warships-one battleship,
four cruisers and three destroyers.
The Italian captain, Manlio Des-
pisi, rescued by the British destroyer
Jervis from his 10,000-ton cruiser
Pola before she sank. was quoted by
British officers as saying the Wit
torio Veneto probably sank before
getting back to Taranto."
Speed Cut to Is Knots.
Capt. Despisi related that British
naval pilots scored at least three
direct torpedo hits on the powerful
Italian battleship and that the YES
sci listed heavily at the stern. Her
speed was reduced to is knots out
of a possible 80.
Capt. Despisi said the Italian
units were en- route to smash Brit
ish conveys operating around the
Greek Island of Crete when sur
prised by the British, who used the
cruiser Orion as decoy to trap
the Italians.
italian crews aboard two cruisers
which were struck by terrific broad
sides from 15-inch British guns hung
huge white sheets over the sides of
the ships to indicate surrender, the
British said.
OF the 5000 officers and men
believed to have lost their lives
hundreds were known to have
drowned after jumping into the sea
because German dive-bombers pre-
cluded British rescues, they said.
British officers estimated that from
one fourth to one-half of Premier
Mussolini's naval striking power now
was at the bottom of the sea or out
of commission.
Pressure Seen by Nazis.
Smiling broadly and his blue eyes
twinkling, Admiral Cunningham
said:
II don't know whether the italian
ships actually were ofncered by
Germans in this engagement, but
there was no doubt the Germans
exerted pressure on Premier Mus
solini to send the feet to sea.
THE enemy feet had not been
sighted anywhere in the Central
Mediterranean since November IL,
when the feet air arm torpedo
bombers crippled three of II Duce's
six battleships."
The first intimation that the
British fleet was going to have its
chance at last came on March q
with the news that italian warships
were off Capo Passero, Sicily, and
steaming eastward.
