Pushing cautiously up to more than a quarter mile beyond the river mouth on the west coast of the island, the Americans found only dead Japanese and a score of wrecked pillboxes.

Warns of Possible Action In Meeting Held in Washington.

his interpretations of the stabilization law and prevent further inroads on anti-inflation policies, is in the middle of the two controversies, which are related although separately conducted, involving the operating and the nonoperating railway workers. He was backed in yesterday's talks by James Byrnes, war mobilization director, and: the President.
~~ Move to Capital
The main result of yesterday's conferences was that the leaders of the operating unions agreed to call their committeemen to Washington
from Chicago, and there was a tentative agreement for a meeting tomorrow in which the committees will be asked to pass on a compro-. mise. This would be intended to give them a portion of their wage demands without too much ohvious damage to government stabilization policies. The union spokesmen for both big classes of railway employees — the operating men who actually run the trains, and the non-operat-ing who perform the essential service and clerical functions—say that the whole double-barreled controversy could be settled through an agreement for each man to get 8 cents more an hour. That, on the eight-hour basis, would be 64 cents a day.
Object to Flan
The railway unions object to the settlements proposed by Director Vinson on the ground that these
would upset the wage differentials| now existing among the niimerous classes of railway o-mployvees. A general raise of 8 cents an hour would leave them relatively where they are—but Judge Vinson has objected to this plan on the ground it would encourage workers in other industries to demand general wage increases. The union leaders say they are determined to get a verdict satis{factory to their members. Messrs. | Byrnes and Vinson are reported

The anti-poll tax bill may be counted an administration victory in the house. The vote was 265 to 110. But the house voted to reduce office of price administration appro priations and to curtail drastically the domestic branch of the office of war Information. It consistently has opposed subsidy payments. And in overriding the veto of the Cone nally<Bmith -anti-strike bill, the forces which condemn Mr. Roosevelt's handling of labor problems rolled up 244 votes to 108. On its return congress will be asked to speed action on the vete erans education bill so that the vane guard of the estimated 1,000,000 re« turning servicemen expected to ens roll under the “free schooling” plan can begin studies this winter.
