TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. 1.-Prof.

Laudon said in an interview. OIL

Mr.. Laudon predicted that with

Dissident Rail Unions
10 Press Wage Fight
Al Meeting Thursday

The incorporating railway unions
which have rejected President
Roosevelts terms for arbitrating
their wage dispute will meet here
again Thursday to continue their
hight for q square deal for those
whom they represent and who have
contributed SO much to the success
full operations" of the carriers.
The unions plan was outlined in
q statement in which they blamed
War Mobilization Director James
r, Byrnes for failure to get sat-
isfactory settlement, when they drew
an implied rebuke from the White
House for insisting that their de-
mands for a basic wage increase
and for overtime after 40 hours
instead of Abe considered as two
issues instead of a single case.
1.-THE real trouble all through this
dispute" the Is union executives
said in the statement, lis that since
early last June Mr.. Byrnes has
persisted in his effort to thwart the
President of the United States in
his declared purpose to remove the
overtime discrimination against
railway employees"
May Appeal to Congress.
They limited, too, that they might
turn to Congress, saying "the right
of petition still exists"
The unions contend they have
accepted a to 10 cent basic wage
increase and that it is not in dis
pute any longer, and therefore is
not question for arbitration. They
are willing to submit to arbitration
only the overtime question.
Mr.. Roosevelt has given indica-
ton of his reaction to the unions
rundown,
Union Statement Quoted.
In their statement, the unions
heads declared:
IF our Government has now de-
cided upon a technically to freeze
the injustice of rates of pay and
existing overtime conditions on the
railway employees involved, then our
Government must accept the re-
sponsibility.

Grating employees will do their level
best to see that the railroads do their
full part in winning of this war. In
time of peril to their country they
will continue Loyalty to serve, even
though some of the government Of
ficials deny them a square deal.
Even giving railroad officials
Army titles and putting them into
Army uniforms and thus putting the
whole force and power Of the armed
services of the nation behind the
employers, they will not deceive the
people Of America into believing that
the arrangements are guiltless and
the workers alone are guilty. Ours is
democratic government, ours Is
still representative republic. The
right Of petition still exists.
These 100000 railway employees
know these facts, cherish this gov
eminent and will continue their
fight for square deal with every

Marine Band 1oasts
vandegrift. Observing
6 century Old Custom

~ the AssociAted Press.
Century-old tradition, with q
serensde and toasts quaffed in hot
buttered rum, was observed by the
Marines Corps yesterday as 1t. Gen.
Alexander A. Vandegrift became
18th commandant Of the corps.
It was in 1801-or about that time
that the Marine Band first stood
before the quarters OF the COM
mandant and played stirring mar
tial music as new marine chief
took ONCE.
Since then the tradition has been
observed. Yesterday the band SER
enaded Gen. Vandegrift with the
Marine Hymn, a new march bearing
his name, and Dixie" for his home
is in Virginia.
Then, still carrying on tradition,
the band leader, Capt. William r.
Santelmann, joined Gen. Vandegrift
on the steps of the commandments
home. stepped inside and joined the
commandant in the first toast OF
Gen. Vandegrift's new term of
office.
The entire Marine Band then
filed into the commandments home
to join in additional toasts.
Gen. Vandegrift, who commanded
troops which drove the japanese
from Guadalcanal and led the in
vasion OF Bougainville. succeeded
1t. Gen. Thomas G. Holcomb, who
Immediately was commissioned as
full general-the first four-star
general in the marines.
Gen. Holcomb, the Navy has said,
will be retained on active duty for
IAN important assignment" No
indication has been given of the
nature of that assignment, but it
seemed likely that he would be-
come a member of the staff of Ad-
miral Ernest ]. King, naval COM
mander in chief, as an expert on
the increasingly important am
phibious type of warfare.
Gen. Vandegrift was sworn in at
ceremony in the Office of Secretary
|of the Navy Knox.
Mr.. Knox, congratulating Gen.
Vandegrift, said he had "the deepest
feeling of confidence in his ability"
II hope I can do as we'll as you,
sir" Gen. Vandegrift replied to con-
gratulations from Gen. Holcomb.
Gen. Vandegrift, native of Char
lottesville, Va, returned from the
Pacific war theater a month ago.

said, "but the responsibility for it

would realize that every strike. in
volving RAILROADS, coal or ANYTHING
else, adds fuel to the enemy's mo-
rale, aside from the material loss
cause by the work stoppage."
In some quarters, the statement
on the effect abroad of the strike
situation had the effect of renewing
interest in national service legisla-
ton, a bill long pending in Congress
which would permit the Govern
ment' to use available labor where
most needed.
Representative .Ramspeck, Demo-
crat. of Georgia said Government
of labor would be "the
only absolute way-the only sure
fire solution for preventing STOP
pages of work" He made it clear
that he would be for such a meas

conviction that if they hung on with
the Germans a little longer chaos ir
the United States would make Il
possible for them to get more liberia

Not Stressed at Wage Talks.
The question OF whether thu

sented to railway and steel unior
leaders before the current develop.
ments in their fields, brought the
reply that it was not clear that such
point had been made.
The principal emphasis seems tt
have been placed on the plea that
the railroads must be kept running
to avoid retarding the movemen,
of materiel
That isn't the problem, it was as
serted-the railroads will be kept
running all right.
The problem is how to counterfeit
the propaganda line that chaos
is at hand in the United States and
get the United States to realize that
delay in the explosion which our
propaganda is trying to promote
abroad means delay in final victory
and the loss of uncounted American
lives that the early realization of
that explosion could save. =.
Proposed Bill Outlined.
While declining use of his name
and saying that his proposal is
still in the formative stage, the leg
islator urging new strike sanctions
said that the legislation would be
complete, invoking stern penalties
against any person who participated
in a strike.
He declared that it would cover
employees working directly for the
Government, those in factories or
mines taken over by the Govern
ment as a result of a wage dispute,
common carriers and any other
business essential to the war eff
fort"
Presumably, his bill would be
presented either to the Military
Affairs or Naval Affairs Committee
for consideration as was the Anti
Strike Act.
In that event, it is likely that the
committee would call in Admiral
Ernest j. King, chief of naval OPP
eratiQns, Gen. George c. Marshall,
Army chief of staff, War Mobiliza-
ton Director James F. Byrnes and
others in charge of the war effort
for their views.
But, even if Congress does not
focus its attention on its return on
a specific bill. it is regarded as an
almost certain fact that the claim
of the damage done by the rail and
steel strike threats will generate a
demand in the House and Senate
for public review of the situation
At Cleveland, Alvanley Johnston
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers chief serving as labor con-

to comment on the assertion threat

By PRESTON GROVER,

Associated Press War Corrsspondent.
NEW DELHI, Jan. 1.-Allied
forces Of Admiral Lord Louis
Mountbatten's Southeast Asia COM
mand looked into the new year
today hoping to see in 1914 the be-
ginning OF victory over Japan In
this theater of war.
The grand strategy Of smashing
Germany ahead OF Japan, confirmed
at the Cairo and Teheran confer
ences, inevitably means contin-
uance for time Of the subordinate
role being played by the fighting
forces based in India, however.
This period Of waiting may last
another few months or it may last
a year, depending on developments
in Europe, but it is obvious that
complete inaction is not a part of
the. plan and that at least a few
strides will be attempted against
the enemy who drove the Allies
back to the Indian frontiers early
in 1912.
Chinese Advance 50 Miles.
Already Chinese troops, American
trained and equipped, have ad-
vanced more than so miles into
Northern Burma along the route
OF the Ledo road, which it is in
tended will ultimately carry sup
plies to China. British forces are
probing into Arakan, 500 miles to
the southwest, determined to avenge
the defeat the Japanese gave them
there last spring.
Heavier and successful fighting
in both of these zones, even though
on comparatively small scale, has
been described in recent Allied
communicates. Aerial activity also
has been intensified. japanese
communications throughout Burma
have been pounded so persistently
that it is becoming difficult to find
targets there and the American and
British planes based in India now
have been reaching for detectives
deep in Thailand.
IL Is clear from these operations
that the japanese are not going to
be given another full year of rest
along the banks of the Irrawaddy.
American soldiers, it can be stated
from tour this correspondent has
just made of more than a dozen
advanced camps in India and China,
want to start licking the japanese
in the most direct way possible.
Other Reasons.
There are additional reasons for
pressing the war on this side of the
world.
The prolonged drain on Indian
resources to help support military
operations not only here but in the
Mediterranean is having an increas-
