Washington, Feb. 20. — A hint
from the White House led informed
observer* to believe Friday that the
Nation’s *20,000,000,000 railroad
industry is nearing an agreement
with it* employe* on the question of
pensions.
President Roosevelt told hia press
conference the railroad retirement
board would have an announcement
a few days regarding, an under-
standing between the carrier* and
their 1,000,000 workers.
He did not disclose the subject of
the agreement but members of the
board have been participating in pen-
sion negotiations between rail man-
agement and labor. The discussions
began two months ago at Roose-
velt’s request, against a background
of legal struggle over rail retire-
ment laws, which have been attack-
ed by carriers.
"Feel Very Hopeful"
Murray W. WHmerr.bWd chair-
man, said today that “We feel very
hopeful" aome agreement will be
reached soon. He -said, however,
that some time may be required for
ratification of any agreement by in-
dividual railroads and brotherhood*.
Persons close to management and
labor said any agreement probgfcly
would be built around the present
rail retirement program.
This legislation comprises two
acts, one levying « 8% P«r cent tax
on both railroad payrolls and em-
ployes’ wages and the other provid-
ing payment of pensions ranging up
to 1125 a month.
In district court here, the roads
won a decision that the taxing pro- tween
visions were invalid, but there wa*j usually

no ruling on the pension payments.
3,500 Pensions Paid.
The retirement board now is pay-
ing penning to about 9,500 employes
from Government funds. Contribu-
tions under the act are being im-
pounded pending final determina-
tion of the legal action, which now
is before a Federal court of appeals.
Before the present legislation was
enacted, the Supreme Court had in-
validated the 1936 Rail Retirement
Act.
Informed persons said a pension
agreement probably would involve
dropping the railroads' court test of
the existing statute*.
Changes in the present program
might be sought, however, to bring
it into harmony with the agreement
On Capitol” Hill, the Senate Fi-
nance Committee reported without
amendment a resolution, extending
taxing provisions of the retirement
program from Feb, 23 tor,June 30,
1.938. ,
Rail officials said continuance of
these provisions, already approve*
by the House, was necessary to keep
the program intact, regardless of
pension negotiations.

The Johnson Company has it*
large incubator in operation now. In
fact, it has been in operation for
several weeks, and quite a few chick*
have been hatched.
The largcVfneubator, when filled
with eggs, will hold approximately
80,000 eggs, Eevry third day dur-
ing the hatching aeason about 8,000
eggs can be placed* In the machine,
which 21 days later turns out the
finished product—the Chick.
The Johnson Company has been
operating a chick hatchery in Sul-
phur Springs for 16 years. The man-
agers buy,between $3,000 and $4,-
000 worth of eggs every year, and
ship approximately 50,000 chicks out
of the county.
A visitor to The Johnson Company
can learn that they have two diesel
engines of 50 h. p. to supply electric
energy for their hatchery an* ice
cream plant. The machines consume
between flOt-a# 700 gallons of fuel
oil monthly. One engine is running
*t all times.__
Two year* ago one of the engines
broke a fuel line one night and the
automatic switch cut off the motof.
plunging the building as well as
Jackson Bros. Store into darkness.
Within ten minutes four people had
telephoned the Johnson brothers to
inform them that there was some
trouble at their plant, while three
persons called the grocery store
manager to warn him of burglar* In
his establishment.
Chicks are not fed until at least
38 hours after they are hatched, ac-
cording to information learned at

Speaking for myself and 16,000
other Buick workmen—we’re mighty
glad to be back on the job! It’s been
tough to stand by, knowing how eager
thousands of people were to get one of
these great cars. And it’s a grand feel-
ing now to see the wheels turning and
the line rolling, and to watch those
ular as clockwork! There’s power in
them, and style, and comfort—and
when you see them made, like I do,
you know they’re packed with good,
honest workmanship as well as top-
notch engineering. We’re proud of
those Buicks, and the way you’ve
taken to them, and we’re going to
big, handsome babies pouring out reg- get yours to you as quick as we can.
