REACHED AT RAIL
WAGE FARLEY

committees of the eastern, western
and southeastern rail groups, repre-
senting management, and Byrnes
and Vinson.
The conferees went into session
at 2:30 pm, EWT.
Participants carried authoriza-
ton of their principals to reach an
agreement, and with President
Roosevelt putting en- emergency
pressure there was a distinct pos
sibility of immediate and summary
settlement.
The grave concern with which
the President viewed the possibili-
ty that would tie up war traffic
was apparent in the fact that he
called the conference only one day
after his return from five weeks
of war conferences in Cairo and
Teheran with heads of Allied gov
ernments.
The dispute, over wages, result
ed from union demand for an
increase of So a day for their $780,
900 members. An emergency med
iation board ordered an increase
of 80 cents instead, and union heads
called the award an insult
While only the operating brother
hoods were involved in today's con-
ference, the incorporating unions,
numbering about 100000 clerks,
shopmen, and other rail workers,
also are demanding pay increases
which have been denied. The non
operating workers asked for 20
cents an hour, agreed to accept
cents, and declined to have any,
thing to do with a substitute sche-
dule ordered by Vinson which pro-
vided a sliding scale of increases
ranging from 4 cents an hour for
the higher paid workers to 10 cents
in the lower classifications.
The incorporating unions watch
ed the White House session with
the closest interest end even a lit
tie chagrin that they had not been
included.
maybe it pays to get tough, :"
commented George M. Harrison,
spokesman for that group of I'm
ions, in pointing oct that his Or
CARNATIONS, on the outside, had not
yet called strike to back their
demands.
A congressional move to give the
incorporating workers their cents
an hour by legislation has been
held over for decision after the
Christmas recess or Capitol Holl.
The Senate has approved legisla-
ton to that effect and House COM
mittee hearings have been con-
cluded, but House members were
looking to the White House for a
solution which would avoid raising
the issue openly in that chamber.
Unions heads participating in to-
days meeting were A. F. Whitney
of the railroad trainmen,' D. B.
Robertson of the fiji e]men and en-
ginemen, Alvaniey Johnston of the
locomotive engineers. H. F. Fraser
of the railway conductors, and T..
c. Cashen of the sWitchmen.

WARCA CAPTURES
THE MIAMI OPEN
Favored Sammy Byrd Fin
ishes Second In The =
Tournament

MIAMI, Fla. Dec. 80 -
Steve Warga, Jr., young profes
sional who is a spare-time golfer
for the duration while he works
here as an airline radio operator,
took first money in the $4,000
Miami Open tournament today with
an even-par $50 for the 70 holes.
Coasting home with a regulation
70 today, Warga won his biggest
golfing purse in seven years as a
professional with a three-stroke
edge over Sammy Byrd of Detroit,
the pre-tournament favorite.
The former national amateur
champion, Ems. Willie Tunesa of
the Navy, grabbed amateur
honors with a 284, score which
earned him a third place tie with
Johnny Bulla of Atlanta, one-time
touring pro who now is an airline
pilot.
The biggest gallery of the tour
nament deserted the handful OF
name players to follow the husky,
blondish Warga and cheer when he
clinched $1,000 in war bonds by
firing a two-under 80 on the first
nine.
1t was no trick at all for the
dead-eye clipper and putter, play
ing a course which almost adjoins
the airfield where he is employed,
to negotiate the final nine in a
safe 81.
Warga took the lead at the half
way point Friday when he carded a
70 in the rain and wind to overtake
National Open Champion Craig
Wood, the first round pace-setter.
He held the advantage even
though he needed II yesterday

Bulla slumped today to a 1888
II, and had to yield second money
to Byrn, whose 36-33-69 gave him
a 283 for the distance. Turnesa
pulled even with Bulla by virtue of
another SO, a IS going out and "a
coming in.
Second place was worth $500 in
war bonds to Byrd, and Bulla re-
ceived $500 for his efforts. A $10C

UNAPPRECIATED

prominent business man of Key West
speaking to The Citizen the other day, ex-
pressed surprise that so many Americans
fail to appreciate the tremendous accom-
plishment of this nation in connection with
the present wars.
During the first twelve months of the
struggle, we have transported more than
one million men overseas and, what is more
important, they have been fully equipped
and supplied by the output of American in
dustry and labor.
In connection with this accomplish
NEST, it should be remembered that in the
first World War, American soldiers fight
ing in France were supplied with weapons
by the British and French. Today, eighty
five per cent. of American production of
guns, planes, tanks and ships have been de-
voted to equipping and preparing our own
fighting men.
In view of the magnitude of this
achievement, it seems bit strange to hear
of Americans who are unappreciative of the
Importance of the task at home While the
British have accomplished wonders i'm
speeding up the production of war material,
it is obvious that when the final history of
the war is written, the contribution of this
country, in men and supplies will be recog-
nized as the decisive factors of both wars
in which we are engaged

THE EASIEST TAX

Key Westers are more tax conscious
row than they have or had ever been in
the history of the, city. Reason: Probably
10 times as many Key Westers will pay
taxes his year as compared with any other
year.
The moro we are aware of a tax The
more it hurts Us, or presumably hurts Us.
The present outdated federal tax structure
makes you pay this year for last years in
come, and it has happened repeatedly that,
cut of the millions of Americans who have
incurred the liability of owing taxes, fair
~ large percentage of them have not the
money to pay when the taxes become due.
Some years are worse than others. In
1926, thousands of investors and specula-
tors in Florida realty had no money to
pay taxes on 1925 earnings or supposed
earnings The result was that the govern
ment lost millions of dollars.
Now, had the Ruml pay-as-you-earn
plan been in effect in 1925, not only would
the government have collected practically
all the taxes that were due it, but their pay
ment also would have had tendency 20
curb, if not stop, the plungings OF those
'the-sky s-the-imit'' Binder Boys. 1t was
those gents who skyrocketed prices in Flor
ida realty, and it was those gents who
reached that point where they were no
longer able to keep the rocket up, and it
fell to earth with a tremendous explosion,
an explosion that killed financially count
less thousands of wildcat operators.
There are two taxes that don't hurt.
One Of them we will discuss later; the 9th
CT is the sales tax. The most burdensome
sales tax this country has ever known is
that on gasoline, yet it seldom occurs to us
that One-third of the amount we pay for a
gallon of gasoline is tax.
So it is with all other sales taxes now
in effects unless we are reminded of them
at the time we buy articles on which there
are such taxes And so it would be with
general sales taxes. We would reach that
point, in paying them, where they would no
more occur to us than the payment of the
gasoline tax does at present.
Political economy is a complex
science; not even experts agree on the
phases of it that pertain to taxes. Yet that
circumstance does not alter our opinion that
the most equitable Tax is that which is APP
piled generally, and the easiest tax to pay
is that of which we are least aware.

POWERFUL sTIMULANT HARMLESS

four year study of concentrated slim
ulants, such as those said to be used by Nazi
panzer troopers, reveals that the powerful
pep pills are harmless to human beings.
Dr. Maurice fainter, professor of phar-
macology, at Stanford University, says that
the methyl-benzedrine composition pro-
duces great stimulation, enabling the taker
to think more clearly and react more quick
ly. Three milligrams will keep a man wide
awake for at least Is hours and when the
effect wears off the person falls into normal
sleep.
If this is true. we are inclined, in view
OF our recent thinking and activity, to ask
someone to pass the methylbenzedrine.
