ney Vermette, his business agent

and the plan is o. k. with the un-
ion. I'm an old soldier myself
and we wouldn't charge them a
penny either for initiation or for
dues"
He said that the soldiers
would be paid the full union
scale given laborers which is
80 cents an hour with time and
a half paid beyond the eight
hour day and from S p. m. Fri

The free initiation fee is
worth $28 and the dues $1.5O

BOTH PAYROLLS
Ramey said that men on fur

LONDON, June e.-Air Chief
Marshal A. T. Harris suggested to-
day that 10000 bombers a night
soon might fly over Germany and
that many might fly directly from
America with formidable bomb
loads"
Speaking In a news reel, the COM
mander in chief of the Bomber
Command declared the present
massive raids on Germany were but
preliminary warmups for terrific
punishment in store for Japan.
"One day in the near future. it
might not be impossible to have TO-
900 bombers over Germany in one
night, including hundreds which
could fly direct from America with
a formidable bomb load, though of
course this is only a surmise." he
said.
Despite the massive raids on Co.
logne and Essen in which more than
1000 bombers were used on each,
Marshal Harris declared heavy
bombing hasn't been tried yet"
Some people argue that heavy
bombing will not win wars" he said.
ITO them I answer that it hasn't
been tried yet. When it is, Germany
will be the experiment and Japan
will be the confirmation"

Gays luck was with him. From

He used the life raft bag to keep

Then from the surface Of the sea

Before his eyes American torpedo

To Nation Hinted
BorkIey Sees Decision
Ringing on Results Of
Scrap Rubber Study
By he Associated Press.


Postponement of any Nation
wide gasoline rationing until a
comprehensive survey is made of
the country's available scrap
rubber was predicted in congress
sional quarters today.
Majority Leader Barkley said he
understood such a survey IS con-
templated. and other informed leg
islators added that 1t was likely
President Roosevelt would await the
results before deciding whether it is
necessary to put all private auto
mobiles on short fuel rations.
Senator Barkley told reporters
there were all kinds of estimates on
the amount of rubber that could be
reclaimed from the scrap pile, rang
ing from the 10000 000-ton estimate
of one big business executive down
to a War Production Board experts
guess that only 100000 tons could be
obtained.
Meanwhile, Price Administrator
Henderson reported to Senate COM
mittee that it was likely that Slight
ly more than 300 900 tons would be
reclaimed in 1912.
Mr.. Henderson informed the spe-
cial committee investigating the gas
olin situation, headed by Senator
Maloney, Democrat, of Connecticut,
that 100000 tire caps probably
could be made from this amount.
At the same time Mr.. Henderson
expressed the opinion that no COM
bination of tire conservation meas
ures which did not include Nation
wide gasoline rationing could hope
to avert "a serious transportation
crisis"
Even if improvement in the scrap
situation were to make possible the
top-capping of 100000 passenger
car tires this year and in future
years." he said, there is no reason
to regard the motor transport prob
lem as solved.
He said capped tires, made Of IA
per cent reclaimed rubber, were

speeds less than 40 miles an hour.

of violent fighting and that the
Chinese again were in full pos
