Houston. Tex.. May 29. The Bro
therhood of Railroad Trainmen late
today voted to limit members' work
ing hours so that approximately 11
thousand men now out of work may
be given employment. President A.
F. Whitney announced.
The resolution was announced at
the brotherhood s triennial conven
tion here. It limits the working
hours of members in yard service
to 26 days or two hundred hours a
month; of members in freight service
to 3,500 miles or its equivalent; of
members in passenger service to 5,
500 miles or its equivalent.
President Whitney said the chang-
ru uvui a an u iiir iuiic4iirni nil it atr
in employment winch he set speci
fically at 10.S50 men would become
effective within 30 days, or as soon
as the general brotherhood chair
men for the respective railroads
could reach home and arrange con
ferences with railroad executives.
The resolution is tantamount to
an order to all members.
President Whitney had estimated,
at the start of the convention some
three weeks ago. that some 41 thou
sand brotherhood members were un
employed. "This resolution." said the pres
ident, "is a humanitarian action on
the part of the brotherhood to aid in
relieving the present unemployment
situation among its members and a
step toward ending the present eco
nomic depression. When it goes in
to full effect on all the railroad sys
tems in the United States and Ca
nada it will place 10,850 members
of the brotherhood now out of em
ployment in jobs and aid them to
support their wives and families."
Mr. Whitney said the convention
would adjourn within the next three
or four days. -World-Herald.
Lincoln. May 29. Three Illinois
gangsters pleaded not Kiiilty here to
day to the Lincoln National bank
robbery and were held under bonds
of 100 thousand dollars each for trial
in district court.
County Attorney Towle said he
would try and have the case set for
June 8.
The trio. Thomas P. O'Connor,
John Britt and Howard Lee, demand
ed a continuance of the preliminary
hearing and asked for lower bonds.
but Municipal Judge John Pilk re
fused both requests.
A squad of national guardsmen
and most of Lincoln's peace uflicers
were mobilized to guard ihc- city hall
during the preliminary hearing.
An armed caravan in five automo
biles and two police motorcycles took
the three men from the state peni
tentiary, where they are being held
for safe kcenine. and rushed them
back again when they failed to put
up bond. At the city hall, even the
persons who wanted to pay bills were
denied admission for a time.
he three defendants seemed to
have a good time during the hearing.
Arrested at East St. Louis May s in
a gangster roundup. they were
brought to Lincoln from Chicago last
Tuesday.
K. s. Woifenbarger, Lincoln sales
man, identified all three of the men
today as participants in the bank rob
bery last September 17.
W. E. Bark ley. a di lector of the
bank, testified the holdup men ob
tained about $1,250,000 in currency
and securities belonging to the insti
tution and its customers. Complaints
in the case charge $2,500,000 was
taken.
T. Clement Gaughan, Lincoln at
torney, told Judge Polk that he had
only two days to prepare his case
while Prosecutor Towle had six
weeks. He said Louis Pickett of Chi
cago, chief counsel for the gang
sters, was busy rounding up witnes tea
and couldn't be present now.
Later he objected that the bonds
were "unreasonable, disproportionate
to the crime charged and excessive
under the constitution." Towle re
torted the bond was so small the
gangsters might cover it with the
bank's own cash, and threatened to
ask for bonds of 200 thousand dollars.
SEES PANHANDLE WHEAT
A. E. Anderson, state and federal
agricultural statistician, is anxious
to see what the wheat crop will be
like this year in the Panhandle re
gion, where a large part of the coun
try's wheat is grown. He left Wed
nesday for an inspection trip to de
termine if lack of moisture will harm
the crop.
Reports to his office were that
there has been little or no precipi
tation for the wheat and barley fields
since the blizzard of last March. The
wheat is heavy but theie- is no sur
face moisture to fill it out, is the
news. There also is said to be some
frost damage.
Anderson said wheat in this part
of the state is in generally good con
dition. He returned late Tuesday
from a trip to Clay Center. Fields
between Lincoln and that point look
promising, he said.

Plattsmouth
Philadelphia, Pa.. May 2f. Pres
ident Hoover 'old the Cnion League
here tonight that after "two yean
of fever and tumult in Washington"
the reception extended him would
be an "undoubted and great encour
agement" in the tasks ahead.
Speaking extemporaneously in re
sponse to a speech by George Btuart
Patterson, president of the dub. who
presented the chief executive with 0
portrait of bimseff, Mr. Hoover de
scribed the dub as a "sanctuary of
the great tradition of loyalty to the
government of the United State.-."
The Cnion League dub was form
ed during the civil war to combat
organized sympathizers witli the
southern states. Through its portals
have walked all the republican pres
idents of the United States since
that time with the single exeepuim
of President Harding. He had ac
cepted an invitation for October but
died in August. 1928.
At Valley Forge Today.
The portrait, painted by Phil Idee
Costa, a Greek artist. M character
ized by Mr. Hoover as a representa
tion of himhelf he "liked much more
than the very lifelike pictures the
photographers make."
Early tomorrow the president goes
to Valley Forge, near here, to lead
the nation in its Memorial day ob
servance. His address will be deliv
ered over both nationwide radio net
works at 8:30 o'clock (Omaha time).
In presenting the portrait Patter
son told the president that the club
wished to take the liberty of say
ing that you and your associates
have met the crisis of worldwide eco
nomic depression with courage and
ability snd in accordance with the
principles upon which the govern
ment was founded.
Tn times of discouragement, he
said, the club wanted to "urge that
there is a vast amount of common
sense hidden away in tne in'niis oi
the American people and that com
mon sense teacnes them to nave con
fidence in you."
Only One Democrat.
Sitting near the chief executive
at the main table of the dinner group
was Governor Pinchot, and practical
ly every republican leader in Penn
sylvania. The only democrat at the
table was George Norris, governor
of the federal reserve bank of this
In accepting the portrait Mr. Hoo
ver said in part :
"I am deeply honored by your
courteous hospitality. When your
committee c:.me to me ami Bade the
invitation extended to every presi
dent of the United States that I
should come to your club, as your
guest, I said that in these times of
extra and heavy burdens that I
should prefer, perhaps, to dliru
public questions as my predecessors
have done as tin y bad felt honored
to do before thin body.
IV HI.. T , 1
"They, however, extended to me
a delicate consideration that brook
ed no refusnl: the sugeestion that
the club WOUld like to extend fts hand
in encouragement by a reception,
with no request for a public address.
In these times when a large number
of segments of our population are
seeking relief, that wa. indeed, the
greatest and most considerable re
lief ever extended to the president
of the United States.
"Your generous reeption has gone
beyond even the frontiers of hospital
ity. You have presented to Mrs. H o
ver and myself a portrait by a skill
ful artist.
"After two years of fever and tu
mult in Washington, I assure vou
this is a gratifying occasion. In
these quiet halls there is restfulness
and feeling of security an Inspira
tion "of faith in one's country."
Mr. Hoover will return to Wash

ly after delivering his Valley Force
