Both INDEPENDENCE DAY I see gray coats,, and blue, And Khaki marching by; I see loyal hearts and true, And heads held proud and high. I see dark days .and cold, And hunger-weakened men; I see merry lads, and bold, Who come not home again. I see long nights, and bleak. When sickness laid men low; I see-weary troops, and weak, 111 clad 'gainst wind and snow. I see slow shots and swift, And cruel bullets fly; I see battle-clouds that drift O'er the Fourth of each July. I see brave wives, and dear, And mothers' stricken eyes, I see broken homes, and drear, Where sorrow's echo sighs. I hear low moans, end deep, And cannon smoking by; I see empty sleeves, and weep, On the Fourth of each July. I see men home from wars, And Freedom striding on, I see a new flag with stars. And Independence won! I see warm blood, and red, And soldiers marching by; I see living men, and dead, On the Fourth of each July.

Railroad Unions Make Demand For Radical Changes Chicago, June 27 Demands of five railroad unions for radical changes in so-called working rules the issue that precipitated the nation-wide railroad strike 13 months ago were renewed today. The five unions represent approximately ap-proximately 350,000 engineers, firemen, conductors, trainmen and switchmen. Revival of the rules controversy controver-sy comes while conferences are being held here between carrier representatives and officers of 17 non-operating unions on the demand de-mand of these unions for a 20-cent 20-cent an hour wage boost. The 17 unions represent approximate ly one million shop, maintenance, clerical and other non-operating employees. i Carrier committees headed by ;H. A. Enochs for the east, J. B 1 Parrish for the southeast, and D. P. Loomis for the west, began negotiations June 18 with the non-operating unions. Their wage demands would increase transportation costs $568 million annually, the railroads estimate Mr. Loomis, speaking for the carrier chairmen, said the 44 rule changes proposed by the five operating unions would add another an-other billion dollars annually to railroad costs. "The rule demands," he said, "constitute the biggest featherbed feather-bed threat that ever menaced private industry. "Twenty-eight of the propos ed rules would compel the rail roads to pay more wages for the same or less work. Seven would require additional and unneces sary men to do the same work. Three would interfere with work assignments and the appoint ment of supervisory personnel. The others relate to various phases of railway operation. Mr. Loomis said that while no direct wage increases are in cluded in the demands ofithe op erating unions, some of the rules would "pyramid increase upon increase for certain employees." Most of these, he added, already are in top wage brackets. Most costly of the 44 rule demands, de-mands, Mr. Loomis said, was the one to limit the length of freight trains to 70 cars and passenger trains to 14 cars. Another would require additional addi-tional train and engine crews on Diesel-powered trains one full crew for every power unit in the locomotive. A freight train hauled by a four-unit Diesel, a common practice on many rail roads, would have to carry four engineers, four firemen, four conductors, and at least eight brakemen, or a total of 20 men instead' of five. Most of the proposed rules are complicated and technical. It would require about twelve columns of space to reproduce them in a newspaper. Mr. Loomis said the railroads would seek relief from 25 rules which they claim "are out-dated because they impair railroad ef ficiency and add unnecessarily to transportation costs." The nation-wide rail tie-up of a year ago was brought to an end after two days by the acceptance of a compromise settlement, pro posed by President Truman, which added 2y2 cents per hour, in lieu of rule demands, to a 16 cent per hour increase in basic pay previously awarded the un ions by the President s fact-find ing board. Last year's wage Increase was followed by increases in freight rates averaging about 17 per cent.
