is to liquidate him."
And on the House side of the
Capitol, Representative Pace, DEM
ocrat, of Georgia declared that Con-
greSs never intended that any one
should be able to dictate to the
Secretary of Agriculture.
To criticism that Mr.. Bowles had
no authority to order Secretary An
derson to sign, spokesman for
the stabilization chief replied that
he had acted under an executive
order issued in 1912.
That order provides that the eco
nomic stabilizer shall formulate
and develop a comprehensive eco
nomic policy" and that he shall
have the power to issue directives"
on such policy to Federal depart
ments and agencies concerned with
price and wage stabilization.
Uniform Cotton Margin Set.
AS for his reasons why the cotton
regulation should be put into effect,
Mr.. Bowles said in statement:
Il would be failing in my re-
sponsibility if I did not move to
protect the farmer, the legitimate
cotton operator, the textile mill
owner and American families from
further speculative rise in cotton
prices. ."
Additional increases in cotton
prices now would lead to further
increases in textile and clothing
prices. If we are really determined
to hold the line We cannot accept
increases in the general level of
clothing prices"
Under the new OPA order, a
uniform margin of $50 bale will
go into effect on the basis of the
current futures market price of
more than % cents a pound for
cotton. Present margins, the agency
said, are $40 a bale in Chicago, SIS
in New Orleans and $50 in New
York.
The base figure of the new margin
schedule is $40 a bale when cotton
is selling at or under 25 cents a
pound. This goes up an additional
$40 bale for every cent or fraction
Of cent the price advances above

Alternatives Cited.
Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado said hte Senate committee
has three possible courses of action
on sugar: Leave the quota for later
determination in the Sugar Act.
leave the sugar quota at the House
figure Of $4,000 short tons, or re-
store the original provision for $780,
900 long tons. The Senator said he
knew Mr.. McNutt favors the long
ton quota, but asked him which of
the other alternatives he prefers if
the Senate does not make it long
tons.
Mr.. McNutt said he would prefer
settling the Philippine sugar quota
in this bill, because next fall would
be too late-it is almost too late
now"
When Senator Lucas, Democrat,
OF Illinois, asked why the trade bill
has been delayed since last Oc-
tober, Mr.. McNutt said he thought
after a conference of various Gov
ernment officials, with President
Truman presiding, last November,
that the bill would be passed early
this year. He asserted, however,
that despite the conference with
the President "the third and fourth
levels IN some of the departments
kept shooting at this legislation.
When Mr. Clayton took the stand
later he said it was his understand
ing that the conference with the
President had to do only with a
provision in the original bill, al
lowing for 20 years of free trade
AS the bill now stands 1t allows
eight years of free trade. followed
by gradual application of tariffs.
The Senate committee also heard

Appeal to White House.
Supporters Of the 1875 per cent
bill pinned their hopes on the pos
sibility that President Truman, in
a last-minute request to Congress,
might ask that the measure be
passed. 1t was learned that back
ers OF the measure had appealed
to the White House Tuesday night
for the Presidents direct request
1t was considered likely that an
other appeal might be made today
The fight for the 1875 per cent
measure was led yesterday by Mr.
Randolph and Representative Jack
son, Democrat, of Washington, spon-
sor of the bill. Both men stressed
the argument that the bill would
enable Federal workers to meet the
increased cost of living and would
help retain in Government service
men of the highest caliber through
increasing salaries in the top brack-
cts. The bill provides for break

jackson bill for top Federal officials

to be one of the main reasons fol

s420 900 900 cost of the bill would &c

Representative Hook, Democrat
Of Maryland, took the floor to sup
port the bill and chided some Of the
members for opposing it.
Il am surprised to see some o.
my conservative friends oppose thi'
bill on the theory that high Fedora
officials don't deserve the same con.
sideration as lower paid workers,
he said. isn't this something like

16-Cent Rail Pay Raise
To Bring Appeal for
Freight Rate Boost
BY the Assoejoted Presx


CHICAGO, April 4.-The Ma
tion's class / railroads, directed
by two arbitration boards to in
crease wages of 100000 workers
16 cents an hour-which union
officials termed inadequate
were expected to ask for boost
in freight rates to compensate
for the pay boosts
AS one union spokesman disclosed
that new wage demands will be made
on the 130 lines as soon as possible,
the Santa Fe Railroad said it would
Immediately appeal to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for
higher freight rates. Similar action
by other lines was regarded as GER
tain.
The wage increases for members
of IS incorporating and three
operating brotherhoods. retroactive
to last January l, will amount to
about $400 a year for each worker
and a spokesman for the carriers
said the payrolls of the carriers will
be boosted 100000 a year. The
incorporating unions had asked in
creases of 30 cents an hour; the
operating groups demanded boosts
of $3.50 day.
Scale Effective Immediately.
There will be no delay in the new
wage scale becoming effective, said
Bert M. Jewell, chairman of the
Is unions representing 100000 non-
operating employees, as the award
was final and not subject to further
review or to approval by the Federal
Wage Sterilization Board.
Fred G. Curley, Santa Fe presi-
dent, in announcing his line would
ask for higher freight rates. said
the award was somewhat higher
than we had anticipated" and would
mean an annual increase in wages
on the road of approximately s25,-
100000 to SIG, 100000 He added the
wage increase, "plus the very sub
stantial increases now occurring in
the costs of materials, supplies and
fuel, together with a % per cent
decrease in our gross operating in
come in the first two months of
1916, make it absolutely necessary to
ask for higher freight rates"
Spokesmen for the three operat-
Ing unions representing the f1remen
and enginemen, the conductors and
the sWitchmen. said they had not
decided yet whether to join the
incorporating groups in seeking
additional wage increases. Mr.
Jewell said that under the Railway
Labor Act the workers could reopen
the existing agreement" on 80 days
notice, with the new demands sub
ject to the same machinery which
governed the original demands.
Follow Weeks of Hearing.
The awards filed with the clerk
Of the Federal District Court yes
terday came after six weeks hear
ings in Chicago. Both boards said
the wage increase was consistent
with the standards now in effect for
the purpose of controlling inflation-
ary tendencies and is approved in
its entirety for purposes of price in
creases."
The pay boost does not apply to
members of two operating brother
hoods representing the trainmen
and locomotive engineers. Their de-
mands for 25 per cent wage hike
and changes in certain working
rules are being reviewed by a fact
finding board here.
These groups represent about 250,-
600 employees, whose scheduled
strike for March II was postponed
when President Truman named the
emergency panel to hear the case.
The 18 unions involved had agreed
to binding arbitration and did not
take a strike vote.

that it likewise imperils legislation
