CHICAGO. July M4 (U.P). — The biggest labor negotiations in railroad history opened today with employee: asking an estimated $900.QO.000 annual pay increase in face of managements claim to a yearly net income of only $£200.000.000. Affracting 400 representatives of 1.150000 employees and more than 400 railroads the negotiations ranked as the industry's largest because of the sige and nationwide scope of the wage demands.

Because the war against Italy, and later, Germany, was the people's war from the beginning, it is still continuing in the form of pinpricks of civilian resistance to the military adminis tration. And the same complete suspension of poplar support behind the Axis-picked government, as “exists elsewhere in Europe, keeps the chasm between Axis victory by arms and the “new order” unspanned. s = .

Joseph said that before taking action he wanted an opportunity to interview the guard who did not appear at the meeting. Mr. Middlesworth was to make a complete report on the drowning of the Ungericht boy, which puzzled officials since the boy apparently went down while four life guards were on duty and nearly 200 other children were in the pool. Before the investigation opened, City Councilmen Harmon A. Campbell and Dr. Walter E. Hemphill, Republicans, told the Board that they were interested in looking into the life guard situation.

P)— Daniel Moriarity, 40, suspended policeman and alleged “fix” agent for a $1,000,000 abortion ring, faced a life term in prison today for the anistale murder of a 24-year-old rl.
