Rail Wage Hearings
Likely TO Take More
Time Than Expected
Mediation Boords Grant
Extension as Labor Side
Continues Arguments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 13. - Railroad d
labor and management settled down
today for long debate on wages
and working conditions before two
emergency boards of the railroad
labor panel.
Indications were that the hear
ings would require considerably
more time than was anticipated
when the boards started their ses-
sions March /. The board consid-
ering demands of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen for reclassifications
of rates of pay, has extended its
hearing time 20 days.
An indefinite extension of time
was agreed upon yesterday before
the second board, which is hearing
demands of Is non-operatino
unions, representing 900 900 workers
for increases of 20 cents an hour
with a 10 cent minimum.
Still Hearing Labor's Side.
A spokesman for the railroads ex-
planned the extensions were con-
sldered advisable in case the
emergency boards were subject to
3o-day limitation period set up
in the Railway Labor Act. In the
incorporating case any limiting
period was waived by both sides of
the controversy.
The boards were still hearing
labor's side of the case when they
adjourned yesterday until Monday
AT the brotherhoods' hearing the
firemen and enginemen have lust
completed their testimony, with the
engineers scheduled to open their
case Monday afternoon.
Seek New Wage Computation.
The engineers seek a change in
the method of computing wage rates
for Diesel engine operators from the
present weight on drivers scale
TO horsepower basis. The firemen
also seek a shift in wage scaling

demanding that rates Of pay be
based on total weight of locomotives
rather than weight on drivers, Both
unions also want an additional man
added to Diesel crews.
In the incorporating hearing. the
employees case has not yet been con-
cluded and 1t was reported still
uncertain how long it would re-
quire. All parties promised they in
tended to proceed as expeditiously
as possible.
Negotiation and mediation by the
National Railway Mediation Board
failed to bring the parties together
in either case and arbitration was
rejected before the emergency
boards were called in to take a hand

Hitler Is Healthy
And Directing War,
Goebbe|s Declares
kozi Propaganda Chief
Denies Rumors Fuehrer
Has Had Breakdown
By ihe Associated Press.


Noting reports that Adolf Hitler is
Ill, Nazi Propaganda Minister Paul
Joseph Goebbels was quoted by the
Berlin radio today as saying that
Hitler lis as healthy as a human
being can possibly be and he is
practically directing the war at the
front as well as at home
But naturally he is working hard
without Sundays off and without a
vacation" Goebbels was quoted as
saying in the broadcast recorded by
the Associated Press.
Reichsmarshal Goering and For
eign Minister Won Ribbentrop also
were declared to be in good health
although all Of them require a
thorough rest when this war Is
finally over"
Goebbels was said to have told
this to the Berlin correspondent of
a Danish newspaper.
He said Britain was mistaken in
thinking Germany was defenseless
in the air because Of German pre-
occupation In Russia and Africa.
and declared Germany will soon
be able to attack Britain in such a
degree that the British will come
back to their senses"
He also said the Axis U-boat cam
paign would prevent Churchill
from carrying out big invasion"
OF Europe.
Rumors and reports about Hitler's
health and troubles with his gen.
erals have required ever since the
Stalingrad disaster in Russia, and
on Friday Acting Secretary of State
Sumner Welles said his department
had received unconfirmed reports
that Hitler had suffered a complete
breakdown.
Although Mr.. Wells did not imply
he believed these reports, Goebbels
obviously considered their circula-
ton worth answering,

Although the congressional pages
are usually falsely classed as boy
sophisticates, can assure all doubt
ers that we were a very subdued and
impressed crowd of boys. This awe
stricken atmosphere soon disap-

boys but more to the remarka Bile
graciousness of the First Lady.

Mrs. Roosevelt's S charming manner
and pleasant smile had every one

Quoted to the great oak-panelled
State dining room where we were
served a delicious luncheon in true
White House style, with liveried at

was undoubtedly most important,

Between the courses. Mrs. Roose-
welt showed us the high lights of
interest in the historic room and
told some fascinating stories about
the White House. showing a knowl-
edge Of its history that we all agree
we couldn't accumulate in 10 years.
The greatest thrill came when,
just after the dessert, Mrs. Roose-
velt announced that We would be
able to meet the President in his
study In few moments. Tense with
excitement, we assembled the stairs
and moved down the elegantly cush-
ioned corridor with a floating SEN
sation. Encouraged by the First
Lady's ever-present smile. we tip
toed into the famous study where
the President sat, ready to re-
ceive U.s.
Jokes About Congress.
In view of how much we had
heard about the Roosevelt person.
ality, we were not surprised at his
geniality, but what astonished
everyone was the Presidents ease
and brilliancy of conversation. We
were clearly in the presence of a
man who knew boys, and above all,
liked them. There were no tense
pauses. The President joked about
Congress and had us all laughing
Immediately
Joe Bartlett of West Virginia was
soon overcome by curiosity concern
Ing the most curious of the knick-
knacks on the executive desk, a
weird-looking bronze mask from a
Burmese temple, brought back from
the Orient by the Presidents grand
father. Mr.. Roosevelt told us its re-
markable history and tried it on
for size. remarking on its possible
usefulness at Halloween. At this
he and Mrs. Roosevelt joined in the
laughter as heartily as any of the
boys.

they work hard TO win that war
by producing.
/ believe that Nash-kelvinator
is the only plant IN Detroit
where the workers are perfectly
satisfied with their wages and
working conditions, because the
company and the union sat down
and discussed wages peacefully
And they both figured out that
the best way TO keep everybody
happy was 10 pay decent living
wages according 10 living condi-
tons such as they are today
The workers and the manage
ment also the plant guards are
friends. Every one treats each
other like human beings. The
stewards of our union and also
the foremen are doing a swell
job creating goodwill among the
workers OF this plant.
believe If other plants
followed this pattern there
wouldn't be any strikes or labor
troubles.

TO TIE EDITOR:

/ WISH to commend your
~ paper for giving us voters the
information about how shame
fully orr returned vets are
being treated. Whatever has
come over the Jawmaking body
of our country, that there hasn't
been adequate laws passed to
protect these men?
The government has taken
and is taking the flower OF our
manhood TO fight this hellish
war and besides those who have
made the supreme sacrifice,
thousands have already become
manned in doing their part 10
protect their country.
Our government can spend
billions upon billions of dollars
for lend-lease to rehabilltate
countries and peoples all over
this globe, even to the crazy
idea of stocking the streams and
lakes of Venezuela with game
fish, while thousands of our
wrecked boys have already come
home to what?
It's time for thinking people
10 insist that our Congress get
busy NOW on a bill TO rehablli-
tate our own boys. After these
boys are dismissed by the hoSpi-
tails they should have an ade-
quate amount of money TO live
on until they can become self
supporting if their disabilities
are repairable Those who have
permanent disabilities should re-
ceive an adequate pension for
life.
Isn't one of the things these
boys are fighting for freedom
from want? If that statement
is true. it's aboNt time our
elected representatives in Wash
ington get busy and be honest 10
