Rail 1 Employes Open Talks On Wage Increases CHICAGO (UP) The biggest labor negotiations in railroad history opened Thursday with employes asking an estimated $900,000,000 annual pay increase in face of managements claim to a yearly net income of only $200,000,000. Attracting 400 representatives of 1,150,000 employes and more than 400 railroads, the negotiations ranked as the industry's largest because of the size and nationwide scope of the wage demands. Management statisticians contended the wage demands, if granted, would call for a 41 percent over-all increase. The last nationwide railroad labor negotiations in 1938 involved a request by management for a 15 percent wage decrease. The move died when a Presidential emergency board recommended against the decrease.

The negotiations were termed by management as "a major crisis in the American railroad industry" and by labor as "an attempt to share in railroad profits from defense shipments." Conferences opened today with an 18-man carriers' joint conference committee, comprising members of the eastern, southeastern and western regional committees, facing five executive heads and 300 committeemen from the big five operating brotherhoods. The 14 non-operating brotherhoods, represented by their 14 presidents and a conference chairman, Bert Jewell of the American Federation of Labor, will meet the management committeemen on Friday and alternate days thereafter. Principal negotiation issues: 1. Demands by 350,000 operat ing employes for a flat 30 percent wage boost with a minimum in crease of $1.80 per day. 2.

Demands by 800,000 non-op erating workers for 30 to 34 cents hourly increases with an hourly minimum of 70 cents. 3. Carriers' proposals for exten sive changes in rules governing employes' working conditions and highly technical compensation re gulations.

VALUES TO $4.00 abin's The Man With Plenty Face By PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent HOLLYOOD For any movie customer who has grown a little tired of the symetrical landscaping of stellar faces, the rugged pan of Jean Gabin will be a welcome Cabin scenery. Sculpturally, it is of the truly heroic mold like, the Rocky Mountains the only screen aero Gabin resembles is Spencer Tracy.

In this coun try, foil owing the releases of such i ures as 'Pepe' Le ko" and "Grande Illusion," Gabin became generally identified as "the Spencer Tracy of And the fans of that unhappy nation refer to M. Tracy as "the Jean Gabin of America." Such a situation would whip up jealous rivalry between two particularly, feminine stars, but Gabin and Tracy are pals. Soon after the Frenchman came here, they spent an evening together. Gabin knew no more than six words of English, and Tracy hadn't ever learned to pronounce his guest's name. (It's Ga-bann, with the last syllable accented.) Being actors, they made a game of trying to make each other understood.

By the time Gabin went home he could say with fair clarity: "Okay, but make it a short one." BROOKLYN ACCENT You ought to hear him now. In a little more than two months the newcomer has learned to speak Americanese without accent and with few of the inverted phrasings that many foreigners use. Matter of fact, he sounds amazingly by Jimmy Cagney. All this has been done in four daily hours-of studying by a low Who generally-played hookey from school and ran away from it forever at the age of 12. Gabin has revised other early tastes.

His father, a cabaret had urged Jean to be an actor but the son wanted no part of it. What he most wanted, for awhile, was to be a prizefighter like his brother-in-law. So he fought and worked in a foundry, and presently had to put in his two years of military service. Out of that, and unable to find any sort of job, he finally allowed his father to find something for place as a chorus boy in the Folies Bergere. Gabin thus became the most unusual-looking gentleman of the ensemble since Wallace Beery's hoofing days on Broadway.

He became a song-and-dance man, soon was doing comedy (which he hated) on the stage and in French pictures. It was through dramatic parts that he got to be a top star in his own country. LIKES HIS GINGER Gabin trotted around with Marlene Dietrich when he first was brought to Hollywood. His current attraction, though, is Ginger Rogers. Back in France, he admitted, friends used to rib him about the blind crush he had developed for Ginger, just from seeing some of her pictures.

It was several weeks before he met Miss Rogers, and by that time he had learned enough English to ask her for a dtae. They're getting along fine. In June, 1939, Gabin had just built a new home 75 miles from Paris and was in the midst of production of a picture when he received his mobilization order. "It is easier for me to learn the language," said Gabin, "than to get used to a country where there is peace and plenty to eat." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS (A. C.

Spain invaded Chile in 1535. The Spanish found the Arauca- nians, chief Indian tribe, harder to subdue than the Incas.

Spain did not gain control of the entire country until 1773. Napoleon's invasion of Spain gave Chile its chance for independence. The Spanish governor was forced to resign in 1810. After eight years of struggle, in which Argentina aided the patriots, independence was proclaimed in 1818. Henriques, who was priest and author as well as journalist, was forced to flee to Argentina during the revolt.

He lived there eight years, returned to Chile in 1822 to found another paper. He died May 16, 1824, at the age of 54.
