Rail Wages Reported
Down 10 18th Place
BY the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-An economist
told Presidential Fact-flndlng
Board yesterday that since 1886
wages of members of three railroad
unions have dropped from third
place to 25th among skilled and
semiskilled workers.
H. P. Melkinow testified for the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen and
the Switchmens Union of North
America.
The Fact-inding Board, named
to avert a strike originally called by
the unions for February /, is study
ing their wage and rules dispute
with the Nations railroads. The
unions are asking a 80 per cent
wage raise and changes in working
rules
Mr.. Melkinow contended that rec
ords of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the National In
dustrial Conference Board showed
wage raises for all workers since
1886 were AT per cent as compared
with 1474 per cent for furniture
employees, 1899 per cent for iron
and steel workers and 1915 per
cent for meat packing employees.
He said about one-half of all
switchtenders earn less than 2,40O

Reserve Officers Vote
To Prepare 10 Join
In Merging Groups

The council of the Reserve Ofi-
GERS Association voted unanimously
today at its annual meeting at the
Hotel Statler to prepare for ANAL
gamation of all reserve officer as
sociations.
The action followed a talk by
Comdr. John Bracken, president of
the reserve officers of the naval
service. The action taken called
for amendment of the association
constitution and bylaws at its sum-
mer convention in Denver to pave
the way for unification.
A question as to whether an in
vitation for amalgamation should
be extended to the National Guard
Officers' Association was answered
by mos" from the floor.
Wants Action on Training Bill.
At their annual banquet last
night the council heard Representa-
tive Towe, Republican, of New Jer-
sey urge action on the training bill
this year, election year or no elec-
ton year." ~"+.e~
However, Mr.. Towe. author of the
bill which has cleared the House
Armed Forces Committee, gave
pessimistic view of its chance this
year.
It's tied up now in the House
Rules Committee" he said, land I
can't predict whether it will be re-
leased or not"
In another address, Chairman
Gurney OF the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee, said he hopes his
committee will "get into universal
military training before the end of
this session"
Optimistic for Others.
Both legislators, however. were
more optimistic about several other
measures which would increase ben
efits for reserve personnel and make
the programs more attractive to
prospective members.
One, which has passed the Senate
and is ready for House action, would
authorize inactive duty pay to re-
servists in the Army and Air Force
This would cost an estimated $l17,-
100000 a year, Mr.. !Towe said.
Another bill would pay monthly
retirement benefits to all reservists
at the age of 60 who had kept their
status in one of the corps.
In a discussion of internal affairs
scheduled for today, Brig. Gen. E. A.
Evans, executive director, is expected
to meet requests of delegates to the
two-day conference that he explain
reasons for sizable membership
losses" in the association.
