RAILS COUNTER WITH PAY OFFER
Emergency Plan Based on ‘Rises in Costs and Carrier Revenues.
-| CHICAGO, Oct. 13 (U. P.) —Rail~
road carriers today submitted to President Roosevelt’s fact-finding board a plan for “emergency compensation” to be paid employees on the basis of rises in cost of living and’ railr gross revenues. The plan countered the Railroad Brotherhoods’ demands for a 30 per cent pay increase, which the carTes described as “Ruinous.” It was. putlined by PF. G. Gurley, vice president of the Santa Fe Railway and executive committee chairman of the Carriers Conference Com-
Mr. Gurley said the. plan would make present pay rates a “floor” below which wages: would not go It would provide additional Rae. terly payments to be computed through a “composite index” in which cost of living increases would carry twice the weight of rises in railroad revenue. : The system would become effec‘tive Nov. 1, 1941, and would expire i Dec. 31, 1942. “Emergency compens sation” payments would be computed as of Sept. 15, 1941, and Feb. 1, May 1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1, 1942, Payments Soya be figured as a percentage of . earnings and would not exceed 15 per cent applied up to $30 weekly earnings or 905/ Seitliontaly,

COURT TO WEIGH, STRIKE CURB ACT
Agrees to Review Wisconsin Law; G. M. Loses Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (U.P) — The Supreme Court today decided to review the validity of Wisconsin’s “employment peace” act and alse agreed to. consider whether membership in the Communist Party is grounds for denying citizenship. At its business. session of the new term, the Court announced acceptance of these major cases for review. It also acted on several hundred: other requests for consideration by the high tribunal. : The court refused, however, to review the conviction at South Bend,.Ind., of General Motors Corp. and three subsidiary firms on charges of violating the Federal anti-trust laws in the financing automobile sales, ‘This action virtually precludes ‘any possibility of upsetting the jury verdict. The court also denied the petition of a receiver for the Hoosier Veneer .Co., Indianapolis, for review of a National Labor Relations Board order against a previous receiver. It agreed to consider a Florida case in which the lower courts held that the Hatch “Clean Politics” Act fous ou apply to primary elections the nomination of candidates

The review of the Wisconsin labor peace act was expected to be of national Importance. The Wisconsin statute attempted a_ general regulation of labor relations and. made. it an unfair labor practice for workers or unions to: intimidate other workers; to engage in mass picketing; or to conduct a strike without first’having approval of a majority of the workers-by sec ret ballot. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has upheld the law. Affirmation of this by the U. 8S. Supreme Court would have the effect of granting states a wide latitude in. the control of labor’s strike and boycott weapons-as used within the state’s jurisdiction,

“I don’t like monkeys,” he said, “and that’s why "I'm" here. Ask Capt. ‘Pope.’ He'll tell you” He pulled out his stubby . pipe,
“It was. about 20 years ago, and I was on the mergency car. We had alot’ of -runs, and I was sitting ‘there writing out the repo:

“Capt. Pope was down in the property room and. he ' discovered that a monkey that was being: held down there:-had gotten info some of the liquor we were. holding ‘as’ ‘evidence: in prohibition cases. “This monkey was . pretty ‘well liquored up. But, like I say, I day's know this, and I didn’t know. where the Captain. was,” but was writing out my JeDosts 25 and didn’t hardly know anything else “When all of a sudden I saw this monkey at my side fumbling through my papers. I jumped up and picked up a phone book and threw it at the monkey. And he picked up an inkwell and threw it at me, and I was ink from head to

in a manner unprecedented in history,” he said. He charged that Germany's use of bombing and submarine warfare would “put to shame the most ruthless pirates of other days.” ~ Mr. Hull recalled that in 1936 47
nations, including the United States,
Britain, France and Germany, subscribed to a formal document setting forth the rules of submarine
| warfare ‘and stating clearly that
unarmed merchant ships ' should not be sunk except on warning and after the safety of crews had been assured. 'He declared that the German Government, however, is and has been sinking American merchant vessels and vessels of other nations with total disregard of this agreement,
Control of Seas at Stake
Mr. Hull said.that the neutrality law now “makes it impossible for American vessels to defend themselves on the high seas against lawless forces seeking world domination.” He said that when the neutrality law was enacted, the Administration did not contemplate such sinkings of American. vessels and hence had not opposed Section 6 of the law. Mr. Hull told the Committee that while Hitler was engaged in a strug-
_|gle to. conquer the continents of
Europe .and Africa, he also was “seeking desperately to control the high seas.” At the conclusion of ‘Mr. Hull's prepared statement Chairman Sol Bloom closed the hearing. : Rep. John Vorys (R. O.) shouted —above Mr. Bloom's efforts to gavel him down—that he wanted it clearly understood that the exclusion of newspapermen was “not by unanimous. consent.” In protest to the limitation of hearings to two days of closed sessions, the ranking minority memsber, Rep. Hamilton Fish, (R. N. Y.) and Rep. George Holden Tinkham, (R. Mass.) were absent when We hearing started.
Opponents Charge “Gag!”
Mr. Bloom's decision to make part of the hearings secret had drawn other charges over the weekend that he was applying a “gag” to opponents ol of: the pending meas= ure. Mr. Hull was expected to be fole lowed by Secretary of Navy Frank Knox; Admiral’ Harold R. Stark, chief “of naval operations, and Chairman Emory 8S. Land of the Maritime Commission. President = Roosevelt,© meantime, called in the' congressional “big four” for a detailed report on prose pects for his neutrality proposals, Vice President. Henry A, Wallace, Senate Democratic - Leader Alben W. Barkley (Ky.), Speaker Sam Rayburn (Tex.) and House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack (Mass.) went into conference with the President.
