Nerve center of half of slate gov ernment, the building was a roof less mass of ice, leaking water at every crevice. Gov.

Thirteen hundred employees I told to stay home, however striking switchmen reported for work last night, compared to about 20 per cent on the early morning shift Thursday.

The early morning shift today on 25 railroads in Chicago also had nearly 100 per cent working crews, the Army's railroad control board said. Of 1,558 men normally on the job, 1,507 reported for work. An Army spokesman said the 51 off duty was "about normal." There were similar reports from many other cities where the work stoppage had continued during the week. Only a few scattered points reported switchmen planned to remain away from work today. The switchmen returned to work faced with the gigantic task of helping to unscramble the jammed freight yards.

An estimated 700.000 of the nation's 2,000,000 freight cars had been tied up during the walkout, which started in Chicago and Detroit on Jan. 30. In Chicago, the end of the walkout opened the gateway to country traffic, and the movement of vital freight log-jammed in the city's immense yards.

The hike was only about half the amount reached in an agreement negotiated in December but later rejected by the rail unions. The raise was granted as the Nauonal Mediation Board in Washington attempted to effect a settlement in the long wage-hour di.spute between the carriers and four rail unions. Included was the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the union affiliate of the some 12,000 switchmen who staged the two "sick" walkouts.

Staff physicians said that today Mrs. Stevens acknowledged the return of some sensation in her arms and legs. "They're aw-fully cold," she said.
