TWO CHILDREN
Die IN FIRE

Eyes wide with the fright of
the experience she had gone
through, Leila Sweet, 5, related
to her grieving mother and fire
department officials how her
little brother, Robert, 18-months
old, had kicked over a cabinet
type oil burner in their fourth
floor flat at 81 Rose st., South
End, bringing death to himself
and his little brother, Paul, g.
months-old.
The burned bodies of the two
victims were found, one on a
bed and the other in his crib,
when firemen under Acting Fire
Chief Daniel Martell battled
their way into the top-floor
apartment through smoke and
flames. The flames swept the
Sweet apartment and spread
into the third-floor home Of
Clarence Moore, the ianitor.
Andrew Hicks, II, who lives
in a second-floor apartment was
the hero of the fire, carrying
four small children to the street
when the flames were raging
in the floors above his home.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. An
drew Hicks were at work at the
time.

The Dorothy Maynor Recital

A Federal Judge hearing a con- tempt charge against railroad strikers declared today switchmen have challenged U. S. sovereignty and that army officers should be running the railroads.
 Judge Michael L. Igoe made this observation from the bench in Chi cago. Over the | country back-to- work movements of striking switch men were gaining momentum.
 Some key railroad centers, includ- ing Chicago, Cleveland and St. Louis and in Pacific northwest, still re- mained undermanned and the long tieup continued.
 The back to-work trend began yesterday in New York, Philadelphia and a number of other eastern points.
 Judge Igoe unloosed verbal blast at strikers during a hearing of Federal contempt charges against officials of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen for a sick call strike in December
 Several bright spots appeared on the troubled rail front following the first major break yesterday when thousands of switchmen re- turned to work
 Service was normal on major lines in the New York and New England areas. It was near normal in many other cities. And many carriers ex- pressed hope for normal service soon as the, back -to-work move ment spread from city to city.
 But there were some dark spots too, in the overall picture. No inn provement was reported in the Se- attle area.
