ROBERTSON Written for United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—The primary interest of railway labor in the joint conference between the railway presidents and the railway labor organizations, row being held here, is to relieve unemployment and stabilize working forces. The labor organizations have presented a program developed during the last three years to solve the insecure and diminishing employment, inadequate wages, and present unemployment. ((To bring immediate and permanent relief, the labor organizations proposed that measures be taken to stabilize employment that where work could be budgeted, a normal force be assured employment for a year. It was prooosed to stabilize employment during this depression and relieve more than 1,000,000 men of fear of idleness. The next measure of relief for the present and the future is recognition of soundness of the principle of the six-hour day, and organization of a jonit committee to determine means of applying the principle. It would not create additional employment but would give reasonable hope that eventually railroad employment conditions would be improved. The employes then proposed that management and labor join in promoting legislation to their common benefit, including a federal bond issue for grade crossing elimination, regulation of motor transport companies, provision for retirement insurance, and federal provision for elective workmen's compensation. The employes also sought establishment of an employment bureau. It has been unfortunate that in the past railroads have hired thousands of new men, when thousands of idle experienced men would have been happy to obtain such employment. Finally, the employes have sought to emphasize continued co-opera-tion of railroad management and employes. Carriers in Final Plea By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 21. —Representatives of the nation’s railroads laid their cards on the table today at their wage conference with railway labor leaders. In what was regarded as the railroads’ last word of the controversy, Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and chairman of the committee of nine railway president, read a 1,200-word statement answering labor’s demand for “more figures.” Willard listed reductions in the last two years of 58 per cent in net operating income; 50 per cent in purchases of rolling stock and equipment; 33 per cent in total earnings; 48 per cent in total operating expenses and 27 per cent in pay rolls. TAX REFORM IS VOTED Legislature Takes First Step to Solve Chicago Dilemma. By United Press SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 21. The first victory in Chicago’s fight for financial rehabilitation was celebrated today with passage by hostile state representatives of a bill to reform Cook county tax machinery. By vote of 114 to 31 the representatives approved the emergency decree. Today the senate, which passed the bill 48 to 1, received the measure for reconsideration. The house added two minor amendments, but passage of these by the senate was regarded by Governor Louis L. Emmerson, Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago and civic leaders, who have labored for weeks for the reorganization, as a foregone conclusion.

Light Novels Favorites of Foreign Born Readers and Youngsters. Stepping into the Haughville branch library is like the old world stepping out of the volumes of books on the library’s shelves. Sixteen nationalities are served by the library at 519 North Belle Vieu place. The Slav miss read her Harold McGrath alongside the Polish lad. The Irish mingle with Bulgars by the book-shelves. It is a library of problems as well as printed words. For to the foreignborn the librarians are judges of matrimonial, parental and juvenile behavior. The patrons come with questions of ethics in living in this adopted “Fatherland” to be ironed out between the borrowing or returning of books. “And if they keep on reading highbrow literature, we’ll be needing the New Yorker on our magazine shelf,” explained one librarian. But beginners in fictional books of American parentage read down instead of up. “Where they asked for Tolstoy in their own language they ask for some light, fluffy, novel of this country when they learn to read English,” the librarians say. SPECIAL VENIRE CALLED Three Days Fail to Net Jury to Try F’ormer Banker. By United Press ALBION, Ind., Jan. 21. —Questioning of a special venire of approximately two-score persons started in Noble circuit court here today after three days of legal bickering in the trial of Walter A. Gillian, former Kendallville bank official accused of embezzlement. For a while it appeared that the trial would be delayed until the March term of court. Defense counsel entered a motion contending that the January jury panel was illegally selected, and it was upheld by the court. Then the defense entered a mtion preventing Sheriff William Hoffman from impaneling anew venire. This motion, however, was withdrawn and Special Judge W. P. Endicott instructed Hoffman to have a venire ready today. Gillian was indicted following the closing of the Noble County Bank and Trust Company, of which he was a vice-president.

HOME BREW DREGS BLOCKING SEWERS

Street Commissioner Brings New Complaint Against Prohibition Law. Prohibition is just a “pain in the neck” to Wilbur H. Winship, city street commissioner. It’s not that Winship is seeking repeal of the eighteenth amendment, or anything like that. The trouble, he explains, is that home brewers and illegal distillers help to stop up the city sewers by pouring dregs from home brew and mash from illicit stills into the sewers. But law violators are not the only persons adding to Winship’s woes, for innocent housewives also are flagrant offenders, he said. “We get thousands of calls in a year from folks who complain that our main sewers are clogged up,” he said. “When we investigate, usually we find the trouble is with the private sewer leading to the main sewer. “And in many cases, the trouble is due to housewives pouring greasy dishwater and grease from frying pans into the kitchen sink. “As soon as this grease strikes the cold walls of the sewer pipe, it congeals, building up on sides until, in time, the sewer p*pes are stopped up completely. “Some of this grease gets into the main sewers and mixes there with remains from home br#w, mash and other refuse, sticking to the walls and causing the department a lot of v - ' ” TRAPPED BY CAVE-IN Samuel Rodgers Buried Half Hour, But Only Bruised.

RELIEF APPEALS STILL AWAITED BY DEMOCRATS Party Might Launch Plan for Federal Aid If Shown Need, Is Belief. By Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Direct appeals for federal aid in unemployment from mayors of cities or other responsible officials might cause Democrats in congress to get behind a definite program to provide such relief, it developed today. Some party leaders cited the fact that while various persons have pictured distress over the country, neither official information nor official pleas for help from municipalities or counties yet had been laia before congress. Speaker John Garner of the house, it was learned, knows generally of the testimony for federal aid in unemployment relief heard by the La Follette committee. He does not doubt the veracity of witnesses who told the senate committee of the wide-spread distress accompanying unemployment and general financial depression. Welcome Information But Garner takes the position that his party in congress might be quicker to act if the need were expressed by mayors of cities, alderman, judges or any other recognized municipal or county officials who are responsible, with charitable agencies, for relieving hunger and distress. On the senate side, the same attitude is said to be held by Senator Hull (Dem., Tenn.) and others. Hull, a member of the joint Democratic “policy” committee, apparently wants information about distress and the ability, or inability, of cities and other subdivisions to meet it before voting appropriations for unemployment relief. Need Proof of Distress Other party leaders such as Senator Harrison (Dem., Miss.) have said they would disregard precedent and appropriate money from the federal treasury to prevent starvation. But these, too, apparently, want proof of distress from the lips of official witnesses who are responsible for alleviating hunger. If a Democratic program were formulated, it would have to come from the “policy” committee of which Garner and Senator Joe Robinson are the heads. This committee has met several times, formally and informally, but unemployment relief has not been discussed seriously. RETAILERS TO CONVENE Program Complete for Session of Hardware Men.

AID FLOOD REFUGEES Coast Guard Boats Carry Food and Medicine. By United Press GREENWOOD, Miss., Jan. 21. Eight coast guard boats from Chicago cruised today over 800,000 acres of flooded northern Mississippi land, removing refugees and carrying food and medical supplies. Red Cross workers loaded some of the boats with doctors and medicine for Crowder, a small isolated town in Quitman county, where disease was reported breaking out among 1,400 refugees, 1,000 more than the normal population. As many as five and six families were reported crowded into small, flood-surrounded three-room houses.
