Big 4 Roll Unions
Seek Wage Rdise
Operating Workrnen Will
Meet In Chicago Dec. 7
To Map Demands

Washington, d. c. - Chiefs Of the
big Four" operating railroad unions
and of the Switchmens Union of
North America will confer in Chicago
Dec. to canvass the situation prior
to making demands for a wage in
crease on behalf of $4,000 rail EN-
ployees.
The fifteen incorporating railway
unions demanded a wage increase Of
20 cents an hour on Sept. % and a
union shop for 100000 employees on
Glass I railroads.
When the general chaimen meet in
Chicago the wage demands are likely
to call for an increase of between 10
and IS per cent to cover the rise in
living costs in the last two years.
David b. Robertson, grand chief of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Firemen
and Enginemen, declined to discuss the
program of the Chicago conference
other than to say that the revision
which would be sought in the wage
scale would seek to bring the unions
into balance with others that have
had recent wage increases.
Rises Granted Last December
Last December the incorporating en-
ployeeS were awarded a wage increase
of 10 cents an hour while the operat
ing employees won Il wage increase of
9.5 cents an hour from an emergency
fact-fnding board
The discussion at the Forthcoming
Chicago meeting will be concerned
partly with the Presidents Executive
order of Oct. 3 calling for wage sta
bilization and the War Labor Boards
policy respecting the order.
The demands of the incorporating
unions are now being discussed be-
tween the individual unions and the
managements of the carriers. An effort
may be made soon to have a national
wage conference.
The demands of the incorporating
groups included one for Il minimum Of
20 cents an hour as well as for the
union shop. 1t was the first time that
4 demand for the union shop had been

PRAISES WOMEN
IN ORGANIZED LABOR

New York City.-Women must be
accorded an Integral and articulate
part in organized labor, declared
Matthew Vol. vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, in an
address at the Womens International
Exposition in Madison Square Garden.
He said that as an official Of the
AFL. representing more than G,DOO,ODO
men and women Of the trade union
movement. he could attest to the mar
yelop adaptabiity of the women Of
labor
"OrganiZed labor welcomes among
its new members more women than
ever before in the history of the move
ment," he declared, estimating that
almost 3,5OO.0OO women belong 10 labor
unions today.

"A sixty-honr week was found TO
be detrimental even during the last
war when we didn't have nearly as
much mechaniZation.' she said, adding
that surveys have proved that a work
er can account for as much output in
forty-eight hours as in sixty over a
period of time.
If, in an emergency, longer hours
We're necessary, they were advisable
only for relatively short periods, she
declared.
On the.average, women in this State
are not working more than the forty
eight-hour maximum except in in
stances where factories with war work
contracts have APPLIED for longer hours
under the Special Dispensation Act.
That Il decrease in the relative etfi-
cheney of Il worker accompanies
heightened working hours is practical
ly Il truism today.
Efficiency Curve Drops
A spokesman for the New York
Academy of Medicine explained that
when you plot the efficiency curve OF
the day, it drops as you approach the

only to drop again at the end of the

His book is not q blueprint for

WIDE MARGINS" (Harcourt
w Brace Is the rich, full auto
biography Of George Palmer Put
nam, publisher extraordinary and
man about the world. Not content
with the esteemed and highbrow
heritage that was his birthright as
the scion Of one of Americas oldest
publishing houses, Putnam struck
out for himself, literally and edi-
torially.
At eleven he published his own
newspaper enthusiastically" and
In his twenties he edited
a weekly, acting on the side as the
""boy mayor" Of Bend, Ore. Then,
with the death Of his father and
brother, he returned to New York
to join G. p. Putnam's Sons, and
headed for Poland to secure Pade-
rewski's memoirs. Although he was
unsuccessful in getting the great
pianist to write, his trip was to bear
him later fruit and he returned to
New York again, this time to find
himself virtual head of "the House."
Under his aegis, Putnam's moved
rapidly into new fields. The young
publisher became the patron, father
confessor and prodding boss of such
noteworthy figures as Rockwell
Kent, Ben Hecht, William Beebe,
Richard Byrd, Charles Lindbergh,
and his own wife, the late Amelia
EarhArt. OF these, Putnam speaks
Familiarity and informally, often
with bright anecdotes.
Businessman though he was,
publishing was for him merely the
springboard to q series Of apparent
ly unrelated adventures, the popu-
larizing Of champagne, for instance,
or o trip to the Arctic. Thus, along
with the bright, fast-paced story Of
Manhattan's literary life, Putnam
also tells his own RESTLESS vivid
story. Concisely. II somewhat naive
ly written, wide Margins" gives
the highlights of O man and his
world, q story of energy and inge-
nuity frankly and lightly told.

by Raoul de Roussey de Sales, is a

De Sales examines, in. critical
fashion, the motivating forces be-
hind the different nationalismS OF
Germany, France, England and
America, and the theological forces
spawned by the modern industrial
age.
Much Of the book is an intensely
interesting diagnosis Of the Amer
