The Accomplice
Courtesy ol Vaughn Shoemaker. Chicago Daily iscws
For the first time in American history a generation is arising
which has no God and what is more feels no need of one.
The blame lies squarely in the laps of the American parent who
owes his child a knowledge of God whose light always shines for those
who seek it.
Let us never forget a civilization survives or perishes on the
basis of its religious belief.
Insure the preservation of American ideals by taking—not send
ing—your child to Sunday School.
National Sunday School Week will be observed April 12-18.
Sponsored by the Laymen’s National Committee, National Headquar
ters Vanderbilt Hotel, New York 16.

Mr. Truman’s order directed

effect on the railroads shall be

The president said these wage
conditions shall be continued un
til further order from himself
or from the Secretary of the Army,
Kenneth Rayall.
A presidential fact-finding board
has recommended a 15 1/2 cents
! an hour increase as a settlement
of the wage dispute. Railroad
management accepted it as did
l nearly a score of other railroad
unions. The engineers, switchmen
and firemen refused to accept it.
They ask a 30 per cent increase.
I These unions have about 190,
000 of the 1,300,000 workers in
the nation’s rail system.
' Johnson told reporters that in
. the week-end negotiations “we
i have reduced our demand and
| tried to get a compromise. We
have endeavored to get a settle
ment by cutting down to the limit
of our demands.
“We’ve done all the giving.
• They want to make the fact-find
ing board a compulsory arbitra
tion board.
“We’re not going to do it.’’
Johnson and Robertson said it
was “too complicated’’ to explain
how they had receded from their
earlier demands.
It was indicated the concession
