LABOR STUDIES FEDERAL BOARD

FOR MEDIATION

Arbitration Plan Will Go to A. F. of L. Council For Action.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—A new

Federal arbitration plan to prevent!

costly labor-capital disputes will be proposed to the executive council of the American Federation of Labor at its preconvention meeting beginning tomorrow in Atlantic City, N The proposal, to be submitted by Charlton O g b u r n, Federation counsel, would provide for establishment of a Federal board to arbitrate differences employers when voluntarily mitted by both groups.

A board, possibly of three mem-

bers. or even a panel from which various arbitration boards could be selected, would be given authority bv the Federal Government to settle employee disputes or jurisdictional arguments between rival union groups. At present, he pointed out, there are three Federal bodies which have broad bles.

The Labor Department's conciliation service, he said, has been found - lacking in some authority to settle |

Mr. ally constituted board might, in the course of vears, build up a reputation for fairness and impartiality as well as establish a record of precedents and tradition which would facilitate greatly ment of prolonged strikes and encourage submission of disputes before they reach the strike stage. Mr. Ogburn said it might me possible to appoint a board composed of a man with previous labor experience, one with previous business experience or a record of pubHc service, and conceivably a prominent judge—even a member, retired or active, of Court.

mild farmer who wants to take his milk and eggs to market by air, today pieced together his homemade airplane, battered by four crashes,

for another flight.

Disturbed neighbors, expecting the worst,

They did not intend to be caught unawares as was J. J. Hamburger,

who was sitting on the porch of his ®

farm home whittling last Saturday, when he heard an awful screeching and rattling and looked up to .see Mr. Schapansky bearing down on him. Mr. Hamburger saw that Mr. Schapansky's plane was traveling about on a line with his chimney. He dropped on his knees to pray, then sank prone on his face. He peeked up as Mr. Schapansky and his plane veered a few feet to the left of the chimney and headed for the pasture. The plane clattered to a stop. Mr. Hamburger ran over to see if Mr. Schapansky was hurt. He wasn't, but he was disgusted. “The water boiled out of the motor and we broke a shock absorber,” he explained. “I'll give ‘er another whirl.”

PIPES TOO LOW, STEEG CLAIS

Overfllows Are Below Fall Creek Level, Cause Stoppage, He Says.

City Engineer Henry B. Steeg today told the Works Board that North Side sewage stoppage was caused by overflow pipes being placed below the Fall Creek water level. Reporting the results of a two weeks’ survey, Mr. Steeg said the stoppage was not a result of an inadequate sewage system. The investigation followed residents’ reports that sewers backed up and flooded streets and basements during recent heavy rains. Mr. Steeg said the condition could be remedied only by raising the overflow pipes above the Fall Creek water level. Sewers Dragged

However, Board Secretary Ernest Frick said it was possible the overflow pipe stoppage was caused by citizens who had charged the overflow polluted Fall Creek and had threatened to place boulders in the overflow pipe outlets at the creek.

sewers. He said they found no large amount of debris in the sewers. The City Engineer said it was possible that trouble reported in the 38th St. overflow along College Ave. was caused by stoppage of the averflow pipe. It had been reported dry,

although normally carries three or four feet of water. Mr. Steeg said he would investigate the pipe.
