Beynon explained to the de-

to be played at the first oppor-
tunity, or he could call upon
East to play his highest or low
est diamond. The declarer elect
ed to treat the king of hearts as
a penalty card, and East then
played the deuce of diamonds,
dummy holding the trick.
Declarer, not realizing the ma
ture of East's error, thought that
the play of the seven and deuce
was the completion of an echo,
telling West that he would be
able to ruff the next diamond.
The jack of spades was led next

rounds picked up the trumps.
Now South cashed the king of
diamonds, expecting that East
would have to discard the ex-
posed king of hearts-but East
blandly followed suit. Still in

of hearts, declarer cashed his
last trump, end this time East
had to play his penalty card.
Now declarer decided to fl

cashed two god diamonds. set

play, South was bound to make

was that the episode of the king

he should have q neutral score.

ing machinery of this k n d
which is being mentioned by
many congressman as q device
to prevent labor troubles in the
defense industries.
Though the railway labor
representatives have oske d
that their denonds be met by
July 10. the cose hos not yet
come to the National Medic
ton Boord. the three-mon body
set up under the Railway Labor
Act of lo34>to handle these
motters. And the interesting
thing to observe here is thot
the cose won't be placed before
the National Mediation Board
until efforts have completely
broken down to settle by d.
rect negotiation between the
IA unions involved and the
employers.
SIT DOWN
AND TALK lT OVER
Thot's the first rule Of sue
cessfuI mediation. always. Let
the two sides to the controversy
sit down by themselves and try
TO iron out their difficulties
without government interter-
ence. The stotus Of the cose
at present, therefore is thot
the unions have presented their
demands TO their employers
who ore now holding confer
ences among themselves to de-
eide whot they con do. Then
both sides will get together and
try to reach on agreement.
If direct negotiations should
foil and if the cose follows the
regular cha, neIs, the next step
would be the calling in OF q
Mediation Boord mediator.
The mediotors in these coses
work just like mediotors al
why's have to, informally and
off the record. First they tolk
to one side, then the other,
octine as messenger boys be-
tween the big men who oren't
speaking to each OF h er any
more. Finally, the mediator
may be able TO find O formula
to bring the two together
again, and eventually they
reach O settlement. Ninety per
cent Of the boards coses ore
settled by this mediation.
r. that doesn't work, the
next step is for the Mediation
Boord to suggest arbitration,
under which each side names
one arbitrator, and these two
name q third. This arbitration
boord holds hearings. studies
the cose and makes its find
mos which ore then put in ef-
feet through u. S. federo
courts. Since 1884, u ooses
have been settled by orbitro-
ton following this pottern.

trote, or il the arbitration

sides and it looks as though
