and domestic policy. are much
needed and should be compulsory,
In Meyers opinion. Little has been
done In this field where Meyers
was stationed. He has done some
education himself, with the help of
the Western Maryland CLIO News,
he indicated.
In Coleman's present camp in
Michigan, there is a very good ORR
entation program, In charge of q
former member of the CLIO Office
Workers Union from New York.
The soldiers bring UP their diff
culties about Russia, unions or any
other issue, and get them am
swered In q fine way. Coleman
read them the remarks Of Cumber-
lands Mayor Conlon on the SOL
der vote. Conlon got the razz-
berry.
DIFFER ON MEDICAL CARE
On one subject, that of medical
care in the Army camps, the two
former union officials differed.
Coleman, who has seen the inside
of more than one hospital. thinks
that the attitude of the doctors is
not what 1t should be, and cited
some examples of callousness.
Meyers impression, on the other
hand, was favorable TO the medical
service.
Both agreed that the soldiers
are very much interested in Sc
curity after the war, including
the kind of extended social Sc
curity and medical care offered by
the Wagner-Murray-Dingell Bill.
Meyers, spinner from Lonacon-
ing is headed back for Westover
Field, Massachusetts, where he is
an aviation machinist. Coleman,
from the textile service depart
ment, formerly lived in Cumber-
land. He Is training for the mill
tary police.

A lot Of the talk about what "the
soldier" thinks Is so much bunk;
on q lot Of questions the soldiers
think no different In the Army
from what they did in civilian life,
or not much different.
The big difference Is that the
soldier has one consuming inter-
est: To get on with the war; and
anything that interferes with that
Is wrong. So. soldiers are against
strikes. They are against the
practices of management that bring
on strikes, and against labor lead
ers like John L. Lewis whose poll
cies tend in that direction.
They are against sabotage Of
the war effort by business or con-
gress or anyone else.
SOLDIERS AGAINST TAX BILL
Bro. Meyers said very definitely
that the soldiers in his outfit sup
ported the Presidents action In We
toing the tax bill. The Admins
tration needed the money to carry
on the war, and had asked Con-
gress to supply 1t through taxes.
Congress failed.
The soldiers do not feel that
they are attacking our American
institutions when they accuse
Congress Of obstructing the war
effort, said Meyers. They think
Congress was attacking American
institutions when II passed the
States rights bill to keep service
men from voting.
RACE PREJUDICE LESS
The Army has a broadening eff
feet on most soldiers; they get rid
of prejudices, especially those
based on race and geographic To-
cality. A Southerner who sleeps
and eats next to New Highlander
doesn't talk so much about damn
Yankees" Anti Semitism also
tends TO diminish.
Both Coleman and Meyers regret
ted that Jim-Crow in the Army
prevented the breaking down Of
race prejudices still further. They
pointed to the successful operation
Of mixed crews in the merchant
marine, where white sailors make
no difficulties about serving in the
crews of the three colored skip
pers.
Race friction appears to the
soldier as an interference with
the war, said Meyers. Even

l6-Month Rail
Dispute Ends
BY RAYMOND LAIR
UNITED Press star Corxespsnas

NOAAASS4 - At0H toy8Ak 1871 NpE'
Washington, Jan. 10 - (UPD -
The nations railroads returned to
private management today as the
administration, closing the books
on the critical rail wage dispute,
faced new crisis in the campaign
of the United Steel Workers (CIO)
to break the Little Steel Wage
Formula.
The government. which seized
the railroads December 81 to pre-
vent a strike, relinquished control
last midnight, shortly after Pres
ident Roosevelt announced settle
ment of the 16-month old dispute
involving 100000 incorporating
rail employees.
Almost coincident with Mr..
Roosevelt's announcement, another
critical labor case was brought to
Washington by the United States
Steel Corporation, which asked La
Dor Secretary Frances Perkins to
refer the steel workers demands to
the War Labor Board. The USM
has taken the lead in the CLIO drive
to force a revision of sthe Little
Steel wage ceiling.
The incorporating case was Set
tied in union management agree
ment, providing wage increases of
nine to II cents an hour and ap-
proved by Sterilization Director
Fred M. Vinson. The dispute began
September IS, 1912 when the
unions asked raises of 20 cents an
hour. The case was considered by
two emergency boards and was be-
fore third when the agreement
was reached.
The first board recommended in
creaSes of eight cents an hour, but
VinSon vetoed the award. He said
the employees could claim no gen.
eral increase under the Little Steel
formula but that the lowest bracket
could be raised on grounds it was
subStandard wage and that
higher brackets could receive tap
cred increases to preserve differen-
tials. The second board awarded 10
cents to employees earning less than
AZ cents an hour with increases
tapered in higher brackets to four
cents.
The final settlement provided for
additional raises as compensation
in lieu of overtime after 40 hours a
week, making the award nine to II
cents.
Shortly after Mr.. Roosevelt an
nounced the settlement, Secretary
of War Henry L. Stimson an
nounced the carriers would be re-
leased effective last midnight.
The other phase of the rail wage
dispute, involving the $4,000 oper~
ating employees, was settled last
week.

Soldiers Sore
AtStrikers

Washington, Jan 19-(UP)-Sec-
rotary of War Henry L. Stimson
told congress today that industrial
unrest on the home front threatens
to undermine the morale of fighting
forces, and he called for National
Service legislation to "equalize" the
war obligation of all citizens.
Testifying before the senate mill
itary affairs committee, Stimson
said that "the voices Of these SOL
diers Cat the battlefronts) speak
out very clearly today in demanding
that all Americans accept the same
liability which soldier must accept
for service to country"
Stimson was the first witness at
the hearing on the Austin-W ads-
worth National Service bill. The
authors believe their bill answers
President Roosevelt'S request for a
national service law which would
prevent strikes for the duration.
Stimson said that the recent
threats of coal, rail and steel strikes
indicates industrial unrest and
lack of a sense of patriotic reSpon-
sibility" among large numbers Of
the population" The result is, he
said, that the situation has aroused
q strong feeling of resentment and
