RAIL READS BACK PLAN
TO DROP LABOR BOARD
They Surely Acted Their Part
On our trip last week to the west
end of the county, while we were at
Mnrni-v some of the people there
were joshing us, saying that we would
run into the ditch and the old wagon
would be on top of us.
Wa replied that wo could not see it
that way and if it did happen we
would fess up. So here goes, on that
same evening, as we were nearing
Plattsmouth. we met two cars driv
en bv blind men, they crowded well
over to our side of the road and we
in an effort to prevent them from lut
tinc us went into a ditch filled with
grass and snow, with no damage not
even to our good nature. (?)
We worked for about an hour,
having borrowed a shovel from Roy
Cole, and were making some progress
but were a long way from out. when
along came a number ot ..lurraj -u-ons
who had been to lodge in Platts
mouth ard stopped and picked up our
little d'nky car up out of the ditch
and set it on me iur;uw;i, iui im-u
we are trulv thankful. It being
night some of them got away without
our seeing who tncy were, dui ie
want to sav to W. L. Seybclt, Orville
Todd, A. G. Long, John Farris and the
others we did not get to see, we are
thankful to them for their demon
stration of the principles and teaching
of the Masonic lodge which they in
real life excmplifiel.
Chicago. Dec. 21. The Associa
tion of Railway Executives today ap
proved proposed legislation that
would abolish the United States rail
road labor board and set up substi
tutes. President Coolidge's recom
mendation in his last message that
"a serious effort be made to reach
an agreement" with labor on legis
lation is given credit for the action
in an official statement.
This statement announced marked
progress toward the adoption of a
joint plan "as the result of confer
ences with representatives of the four
engine and train service brother
hoods. It is understood the plan is
designed to promote adjustment and
conciliation between managments
and employes, reducing to a minimum
governmental intervention.
W. W. Atterbury, president of the
Pennsylvania lines, and chairman of
the executives' committee which has
been conferring with the brotherhood
men. reported agreement had been
reached on most phases of the plan.
The proposed substitutes for the
labor board, so far as can be learned,
are boards of adjustment and con
ciliation. The boards of adjustment
would be regional and would com
prise representatives of both sides:
who would endeavor to iron out
grievances. The board of concilia
tion, would seek to get both sides in
more critical disputes to arbitrate
voluntarily. Where the two arbitra
tors chosen by both sides could not
agree on a third, the conciliation
board would select him.
Murray Secured Rodgers Release.
The tendency of the feelings re

cured the release of Mr. Rogers j
who returned to Murray and is stop-1
pir. n here at this time. Mr Connor j
is reported as getting along nicely
