IYardmas!er Contract
with Living Cost Rider
Takes Effect Today
BY the Associated Press

A monthly raise of about $54
for 1000 railroad yardmasters
was announced yesterday by the
White House.
The agreement was reached be-
tween the AFL's Railroad Yard
masters of America and repre-
sentatives of the Nations rail-
roads with the aid of John r,
Steelman, assistant to President
Truman.
Settlement terms are over and
above the 18-cent hourly boost
recommended by a presidential
emergency board. In addition to
that, the yardmasters get cents
an hour, for a total % cents in
crease.
The agreement, effective today,
calls for three-year ban on any
new union contract demands and
provides for an additional penny
an-hour pay boost for every point
increase in the Governments
cost-of living index.
48-HOnr Week Continued.
The agreement. similar to one
negotiated by the AFLs switch
mems union on July 6, provides
for five-day week. But it stipu-
lates the 40-hour week will be
set aside for at least one year
and be thereafter subject to the
desires of the employees and the
manpower situation"
Thus the yardmasters, like the
switchmen. will continue on 49,
hour week for the time being.
A White House statement sale
President Truman approved the
settlement and congratulated
both sides for their willingness
to compromise.
Similar terms have been re.
jected by the trainmen and con.
ductors' brotherhoods, whose
strike threat during the summer
led to Government seizure anc
operations of the railroads since
August 81.
New Pay Drive Planned.
Meanwhile, 16 unions represent.
ing l million rail workers were
reported getting ready to start
new wage increase drive. They
have scheduled a strategy meet
ing here on October II.
The yardmasters' cost of living
clause is pegged at an index fig
ure of 174. That is, the index
must rise to ITS before the yard
masters get an added cents

had offered to reveal information.
George White, committee inves-
tigator, said tonight a subpoena
had been issued for pretty Vir-
ginia Hill, girl friend of the late
gambler, Benjamin (Bugsy) Sic
Igel, to appear before the commit
tee.
| Siegel was shot to death in Miss
Hills swank home in Beverly

Mr.. White said he could not

had been served on Miss Hill at
Bar Harbor, Me.
In Kansas City the Senate COM
mittee questioned nearly two dozen
Missourians in three days of prob
ing into Interstate crime and
possible links between the under
world and public Office holders.
The witnesses ranged from Gov
Forrest Smith down to a number
of gamblers. underworld figures
and convicts.
AS he wound up the hearings
Senator Kefauver said the COM
mittee had obtained valuable and
substantial" information on how
Interstate crime operates.
I'm fairness to Gov. Smith"
Senator Kefauver said, "it must be
pointed out that Binaggio and his
crowd made little headway in try
ing to bring about changes in the
Kansas City police department"
or in opening up the State to
gambling.
Irritated by Attitude.
4 Senator Kefauver referred to
Charles Binaggio. Kansas City
underworld and political leader,
who was slain last April 5 in his
North Side political club.
/ Senator Kefauver was visibly
irritated at the attitude of the
witness DiGiovanni today. He
told Di Giovanni that the reason
he was perjuring himself was to
| protect his wholesale liquor per-
init.
DiGiovanni pleaded that he
had been confused last night.
"Oh no, you weren't" Senator
Kefauver said heatedly. "You are
business man who made $50, 200
, in one year. You know what you
are doing"
This committee does not in
tend to take perjured testimony, u
, Senator Kefauver emphasized.
DiGiovanni told the committee
he got his liquor distributorship
in 1884 and added that he paid
nothing to get it.
He said his brother. Vinson. was
; interested in another firm which
. handled another brand of liquor
{Schenley).
Overruled on Objection.
It was for the latter brand that
= Wolf c. Rimann, spot Staying VIC
tim in 1949. was seeking to obtain
partial distributorship.
DiGiovanni said he knew moth
E ing about the Rimann Staying.
Another witness was Walter
Rainey, gambler now under in
: dictment for evasion of Federal
income taxes.
. His attorney objected to the
line of questioning, but Senator
Kefauver overruled him.
Rainey said he was interested
in a number of gambling con-
cessions at taverns and eating
places in Kansas City and jack
son County.
Pendergast Name Mentioned.
Earlier, the committee went

Visiting Writers Astounded.
Most well-informed Americans
have been aware that football
betting in Britain has assumed
vast proportions because. every
now and then, they read about
some poor housewife or day labor
er winning some staggering sum.
Not so many months ago, a prize
of 100000 went to a woman who
had invested only a few shillings.
But it takes a visit, even if it's
only a brief one, to one of the
huge pools buildings to get grasp
of some Of the organizational
problems involved in this amaz-
ing enterprise.
A group of American sports
writer's paid such a visit recently
to the Edge Lane headquarters of
Littlewood Pools. They came away
talking to themselves!
Without any ado, they were
ushered into a room about the
size of Washington's Union Sta
ton. 1t looked as though there
were about 1000 girls hard at
work in this room and hardly a
one even looked up when the
visitors entered. Questioning
brought out that the 1000 esti-
mate was quite correct, but that
the company employed $4,000 in
all since there are five other
similar buildings in the Liverpool
district. Furthermore. there are
several other Pools organizations
in the city, with Vernons the next
largest.
The girls work eight hours a
day. five days a week for a weekly
average wage of about $40. This
isn't nearly so bad as it might
seem, for the company operates

where it provides what its press
men call a three
