Settlement of X. K. Wage
Brighter As Unions Meet

Washington, Jan. 6-(UP)-Lead-
ers Of 10 railway unions turned back
to their tangled wage dispute today
with the outlook appearing brighter
for q settlement.
More than 200 representatives Of
three operating unions--the firemen
and englnemen, the conductors and
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. here TO
review recent developments in which
their refusal to accept presidential
arbitration brought government
seizure Of the railways to avert a
strike.
The chiefs OF is incorporating
unions scheduled q session later to-
day TO discuss President Roosevelt's
latest move, the reconvening Of the
emergency board which awarded the
100000 incorporating employees a
sliding scale OF increases ranging
from four to 10 cents.
The board was instructed TO con-
slider the unions additional claims
for overtime, which were not an is
sue In the original case and were in
jected as a result Of a conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt last spring.
Leaders OF the incorporating
group appeared uncertain whether
the presidents order to reconvene
the emergency board accepted their
position that the sliding scale In
creases no longer were in dispute.
The unions originally rejected
those increases but withdrew OBJ
jections when they offered to SUBJ
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1944-01-06

NIT the overtime alone to the pres
ident for arbitration. Mr.. Roose-
velts arbitration proposal collapsed
because the unions would not ac-
cept a management argument that
the sliding scale Of increases should
be reviewed II the overtime ques-
ton we're arbitrated.
Union officials contended that the
increases already granted-based on
elimination Of substandard rates and
preservation OF wage differentials-
should not be affected by any move
to place railway employees on a basis
equivalent with those In other indus
tries. The wage-hour law, requiring
payment of overtime rates after 4C
hours, exempted railway workers.
The White House announcement
appeared to leave the sliding scale
in effect inasmuch as 1t said the
board would consider the claims
Of the incorporating railway en-
ployes for payments for or in lieu
OF overtime"
The principal concern of the three
operating unions was the arbitration
award of five cents an hour made by
Mr.. Roosevelt to the two other OPP
Grating brotherhoods, trainmen and
engineers, as payment in lieu OF
overtime and away-from-home ex-
penses. The same award presumably
will be offered to the three BROTH
erhoods when the procedure for
settling their case is determined.

washington, Jan. 8 - (URJ -
Congressional and administration
circles today regarded as q healthy
sign for q Democratic government
the current personality and doc
trinal clashes IN the third branch
Of the federal structure =. the SUI
preme court.
One high ofllclal. who asked that
his name be withheld, said such
differences provided better proof
that members Of the high court
were human" and not living In q
world Of their own. His comment
was echoed by q prominent con-
gresham who believed the courts
thinking would be enhanced and
that the tribunal would be given
added strength Of character by the
clashes.
There have been frequent differ
ences among the justices In the
past although the meager reports
seeping out Of the stately supreme
court building indicated that only
personalities were involved. But a
clear indication that they went
deeper came on Monday when Jus
tees Hugo L. Black and Frank
Murphy utilized concurTing opin-
ions in two cases as the vehicles
for open criticism Of the doctrines
Of Justice Felix Frankfurter.
No members of congress would
comment publicly on the situation.
Privately, most legislators held
that It was not for them to inter-
fere or comment on family trou-
bles of the court and one represen-
tative went so far as TO describe the
rift as an 'internecine scrap"
The clash involves strictly New
Deal appointees, with the two Re-
publican appointees-Chief Justice
Harlan F. Stone and Justice Owen
]. Notwithstanding from the side
lines.
The criticism Of Frankfurter by
Black and Murphy was not con-
strained. They went so far as to ac-
cuse him Of engaging In a dan
gerous business" by Interpreting the
law on the basis of personal views
on morals and ethics"
Frankfurter long has been ac-
cused of delving into politics as an
extra -curricular' activity and also
has been mentioned as q head man
Of the so-called White House Pal
ace Guard But the incident on
Monday was the first time In the
memory Of the oldest supreme court
employe that one justice, in oppos-
ing another's opinion, openly had
referred to him by name.

ACE OF aces'' record Of rs enemy

today.
The victory placed Boyington in
q tie with Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker
who gained his victories In World
War I, and with Mai. Joseph j.
FoSs, of sioux Falls, s. D., who shot
down 26 Japanese planes in the
South Pacific during World War II.
Boyington was among more than
SO u. s. fighter pilots who struck
at Rapopo airdrome and Rabaul
Monday, shooting down six and
probably five more planes Of force
Of 20$ intercepting zeros. Two
American Corsairs were lost In the
action.
Twenty Of Boyingtons victories
all over JapaneSe-were gained
in the South Pacific since last
August. In one flight over Vella
Lavella, Boyington bagged flve jap
anese and on December "A, boosted
his total by shooting down four
ZeroS over Rabaul, Japanese
stronghold on New Britain.
Previous to his South Pacific
action, Boyington, flying with the
American volunteer group of Fly
ing Tigers in China, shot down six
enemy planes in l941.
BOyington, who arrived in the
South Pacific theater a year ago,
was kept out of action for seven
months by a broken leg, but re-
turned to action by organizing a
black sheep" squadron--compose
Of pilots nobody else wanted be-
cause Of their inexperience..--and
welded 1t into one of the crack out

Mrs. Ellsworth H. Hallenbeck was
mot surprised" today to learn that
her son, Maj. Gregory Boyington,
Marine flying ace, had shot down
his 26th Japanese plane to equal

I'VE knew he'd do it," said Mrs.
Hallenbeck and her husband, the

are tickled to death to hear it."

DEFINITE POLICY

urged the Republican party last

Congress Power
BEING USurped

Milford, ILL.,, Jan. 6 - (U.P) -
Representative Jesse Sumner. (R),
H., said today she would not run
for reelection because the White
House has usurped the powers of
congress"
Miss Sumner, serving her third
term in the house, said that most
Of the major questions Of policy
are now decided by the White
House instead of congress"
About all rank and file repre-
sentative can do now is try to keep
informed and when colossal blund-
ers are made urge that they be
corrected" she said.
Until some president is elected
who believes in representative gov
eminent enough to appoint admin
istrators to nquidate our expanding
bureaucracy, it is practically farce
to insist that we will have a repub-
lic."
Miss Sumner said there probably
would be formal peace confer
ence after the war, but that the
issues probably would be settled IN
advance at secret meetings like the
ones at Moscow, Cairo and Te-
heran."
