of statistics here between experts ttitude toward the New Deal and

for the railroads and for their employees. Columns of conflicting statistics are being marshaled before the President's

general railroad strike against a 15 per cent pay cut demanded by the carriers. | The average railroader earned $1785 in 1937, say the management spokesmen. Union leaders retort that it was only $1115 if casual la-| bor—snow shovelers, etc.—is omitted. The Railroad Retirement Board says nearly two-thirds of all Tailroaders earn less than $1500 a year. The statistical generalities are confusing to those whe would like to know just what goes into the pay envelope of the Casey Jones of 1938. A recent statement of the Interstate Commerce Commission gives a clearer picture. It shows that average

earnings in June of emplovees of the Class 1 roads were: Passenger engineers and motormen, $281; t

Governor Allred praised labor's persistent fight for social security and for other legislation designed to aid the common man.

Onlv three of the resolutions touched on the feud between the Federation and the rival Committee for Industrial Organization. One called for “less antagonism” between the two factions, cautioning that “in union there is strength.” Another urged executive council to initiate new peace talks with the C. I. O. The third, offered by delegates of the

Hotel and Restaurant Employees International Alliance and Bartenders International League, at-

tacked the Federation for ordering its forces out of Labor's Nonpartisan League, C. I. O. political arm. This move, the resolution said, ‘plays into the hands of the reactionaries ard endangers the gains made by labor in the recent period.”

F. of L. power in Congress will come this winter when the reappointment of Donald Wakefield Smith to the NLRB comes before the Senate for confirmation.

These amendments would curtail unlawful assumption” of broad powers by the agency; would give aggrieved unions the right of appeal from the Board's decisions; would prevent the board from invalidating bonafide contracts beween unions and employers: would specific provisions for the ". method and time of holdnt elections and would limit the board's power to determine the proper unit of collective bargaining in relation to craftsmen and unskilled workers There was little doubt but that the proposed changes—more drastic tha the “clarifying amendments” which Mr. Roosevelt had approved —would be accepted by the convention.
