37.5-Cent Wage Rise
Reported as Goal
OF Rail Trainmen
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Aug. 22.-The
size of a wage increase to be
sought by the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen should be
37l2 cents an hour, it was indi-
Gated today by special commit
tee of the union.
Contracts between the indie
pendent rail unions and the ma
tion's Glass / railroads expire
September 80.
Rates Vary Widely.
The trainmen have been pre-
pairing a wage movement" as
the union terms it, for several
months. Last June a 14-member
special wage and rules committee
was appointed to formulate a
plan. and it has been meeting
for several days in union head
quarters here.
The BRIT has about 100000
members. The union did not dis
close the current average rates
of pay. but they vary widely. in
a complex system of Job CLASH
fications and working rules for
road and yard employees.
w. P. Kennedy. BRIT president,
said the committee's recommen-
dations would be presented to
the general chairman's aSsocia-
tion for adoption. The asSocia-
ton. which guides wage and rule
policies of the union. will con-
vene in Albany, N. Y, Septem-
ber 81.
Rail Profits Rising.
Mr.. Kennedy said correction
of inequities in pay rates in some
claSSifications. and more liberal
vacation rules were among other
goals likely to be sought.
Mr.. Kennedy said that al
though farm income continues
to decline" and orders for man
ufactured goods are declining"
railroad profits continue to
reach new peaks. For financial,
industrial and political leaders
to fail to cooperate with labor
to eliminate such inequitable dis
tribution of the nations income,
is to invite a return to the eco
nomic conditions of 1929 and
subsequent panic years"

July cattle had gone to some
of the highest prices since Feb
ruary. Hog values also showed
a steep decline.
Reasons for the change were
varied. The Government was
offering stronger support to the
market by beef purchases, and
the effects of the Southwestern
drought had lessened somewhat.
The rush to market of cattle
was further reduced by Govern
ment offers of hay and feed to
distress areas.
In June cattle receipts at
Chicago came to around 100000
head. In July they dropped off
to about 10000. For the fSst
seven months of this year. how
ever, the cattle total was ap-
proximately 1925, 900 or some %
per cent above the $4,000 during
the same months last year.
The relative shortage of cattle
in July boosted prime steers from
a top of $23.50 hundred pounds
at the beginning of the month
to $1,000 by mid-month. Even
lower grades gained around
$500, and cows and bulls about
$3.50 in the steep ascent.

said. Cattle, once selling at 10
cents a pound on the hoof, now
are bringing 1919 cents, he
added.
Mr.. Brooks said John Davis
Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture, indicated the purchase pro-
gram may be carried beyond the
presently authorized 200 million
pound mark to keep prices at the
present levels.
CCC purchases of beef this
week totaled 11.3 million pounds,
he said. Last weeks purchases
totaled 8.5 million pounds and
the preceding weeks SIS million
pounds, he reported.
Mr.. Brooks quoted Mr.. Davis
as expressing hope that the buy
ing can be stepped up to IS mil
lion pounds a week, with next

He said Agriculture Depart

chain food stores soon will launch
an advertising drive to encourage
increased consumption of ham
