And he said he must go to bed
earlier and stay there longer.
Why, he can't sleep going to bed
as late as he does now, so what
good will it do to make him go
sooner? "And you paid him for
that?"
Then big brother spoke up. 1T
could be that the doctor is right.
If Benjie ate less meat and more
vegetables, maybe the rest Of us

But nobody minds big brother.
It is possible to feed children
without nourishing them. and
when the doctor points that out,
when he orders another diet, an

Appeals Court Hears
UMWPIeat 10 SetAside
Fine Of S1,400,0O0

With production of coal at a
standstill east of the Mississippi
River, the United Mine Workers
today asked the United States
Court of Appeals to set aside a
s1.4oO,OOO contempt of court fine
levied on them for walking off
their jobs a year ago.
Welly K. Hopkins, chief counsel
for the Mine Workers Union, also
asked the appellate court to set
aside the $4,000 contempt OF
court fine levied on John L. Lewis
by Judge T. Alan Goldsborough IN
District Court.
KEYNOTE 6f Mr.. Hopkins argu-
ment was sounded in his brief,
which declared that if the action
of Judge Goldsborough is upheld
properly may it then be said by
an American citizen-heads the
Government wins, tails the citizen
loses"
Settlement Is Cited.
Mr.. Hopkins contended that the
miners had settled their dispute
without Government assistance
and had returned to work last
April before Judge Goldsborough
levied the heavy fines on the
union and Mr.. Lewis for refusing
to comply with a restraining or
der issued on April 5, 1948. The
fines were imposed on April 70,
although the miners had returned
to work several days before.
The state of truth is so naked
and barren in this record MI.
Hopkins said, that it clearly
iustifies the reversal of the action
of the lower court.
Taft Act Assailed.
The brief filed by the miners
attacks the constitutionality OF
the national emergency provisions
of the Taft Hartley Act which
were invoked to xt1alt the walkout
staged by the miners last year IN
a dispute over delays in establish
ing their pension and welfare
fund.
Attorneys made it clear before
formal arguments were started
before the appellate cours that
the current legal steps have no
relation to the present cessation
of coal mining.
Judge Justin Miller presided
over the three-judge panel hear
ing arguments today. The Gos-
ernment was expected to deliver
it's answers to Mr.. Hopkins argu-
ments later this afternoon.

Railway Unions Reach
Final Terms on Raise
And 4O-Hour Week :
By the Assoeiofed Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 2l.-Final terms
ON $64O, 900, ,000-a-year wage in
crease have been reached in the
11-month dispute between the
Nations railroads and Is non
operating unions.
The settlement, worked out on
a formula recommended by a
presidential fact-finding board
was described by a union spokes-
nan as the most momentous'
wage and hour movement in the
history of American industry.
It will extend the basic 40-hour
week to the railroads for the first
time and affects 100000 en-
ployeS.
The 40-hour week. at the same
pay the workers received for 48
hours, becomes effective next Sep
tember /, but an additional wage
increase of 7 cents an hour is
retroactive to last October l. EX-
cepted from the general terms OF
the "third-round" wage boost are
the yardmasters, who will con-
tinue on a six-day week with an
increase of 10 cents an hour.
Work Week Can Be Staggered.
Overtime in excess of eight hours
in a day or 40 hours in week
will be paid generally at the rate
of time and one-half. Although
Saturdays and Sundays will be
considered ordinary work days,
the carriers must arrange for a
maximum number of employees to
have those days off. However,
they have the privilege of stag
gering the work week where neces-
sary to avoid overtime rates for
those days.
The agreement said the two days
are to be given consecutively SO
far as practical. but the railroads
have the right to split these days
off under certain circumstances
generally when penalty overtime
payments otherwise would be un-
avoidable.
On a straight time rate, the
average hourly wage is raised from
S1.18 to $1.46. The unions orig
inal demands were for a 40-hour
week, Mondays through Fridays,
at no pay reduction, time and a
half for Saturdays, double time
for Sundays, and an increase of
Is cents an hour. The roads re-
fused the shorter work week and
overtime rates and offered a To-
cent pay increase.
Cost Set at $40 Million.
A carrier spokesman said the
settlement gives the employees
"just what the fact-flnding board
intended to give them. No more,
no less" The carriers had esti-
mated cost of the awards at
$640, 10000

Born of humblep arents in the
hills of old Alabama, was Joe
Louis Barrow, a smooth skin
bronze lad who made fame and
fortune by his fist and at the age
of 20 became the youngest ath-
lete in history to become the heavy
weight champion o fthe world.
AS a youth of IS, Joe grad
uated from the ranks of the Gold
en- Glove tournament and entered
the professional boxing game un-
der the totorship of Julian Black
and John Boxbury and trained by
the veteran, Jack Blackburn, who
died a few years ago, and who
would have rejoiced at seeing his
protege complete II long years as
the worlds greatest boxer and
forced to give up the game be-
cause ''there were no more worlds
to conquer"
The Brown Bomber as Joe was
named, met and defeated any and
all corners during his reign as
champion, the title he won back in
June, 1887, when he knocked out
James J. Braddock in the 9Th
round of their 15-round bout for
the championship, in Chicago.
Making his debute as a pro in
1884, Joe scored a sensational KO
over the highly touted Jack Kra-
cken July a, in the first round.

Hailing a Great
Champion

He won IL fights during the
first year; one by knockouts and
two by decision again in '35; IA
victims went down before the
lethal punches of the Bomber.
1t was his second fight in 1886
when Max Schmelling, the Ger
man "Beattle," scored a II round
KO over the Champ to give him
the only defeat of his career. But
this did not halt the ambition of
the youth who went on to win the
title in 1887, and has reigned SUI
preme ever since.
Taking all corners, regardless of
race, creed or color, Joe became
the most talked of champion in
the pages of boxing history. He
was a tiger in the ring and a gen.
tleman out of the squared circle.
However, like all athletes, age
takes it's toll and despite his age,
at the date of retirement, he was
still the most feared man in the
world.
Yes, Joe Louis Barrow, the un-
defeated champion of the World,
steps down from the ring and
turns promoter in order to give
other youths a chance at the great
est prize of the boxing game.
AS a toast to the Bomber, this
writer says, Champions may come
and champions may go, but there
just aren't any more like the guy
named Joe.
