CHICAGO, Dec. 1.—(U/P.)—Dras-
tic changes in the working rules j
governing 400,000 railroad shop em- I
ployes went into effect today. The '
changes in rules were ordered by
the United States railroad labor |
board after months of public hear- '
inns and consideration.
Railroads, who fought for the
changes on the grounds that old j
rules were oppressive and "arbitra-
ry," will be saved approximately
$50,000,000 a year by the decrease.
The new rules were designed by
the roalroad board to bring about
greater economy and efficiency in
roalroad shops.
The "open-shop" principle was
recognized in the decision which pro-
mulgated 14R new working rules. |
Under the plan which went into ef- j
feet today, minorities in railroad j
shops will be represented in griev-
ance matters.

(By U. P.) - Bernice Redick will

dard, psychologist, declared to-
day. announcing the existence of
a strange case of dual personal-
ity.
Bernice Redick, 19 years old,
and Polly Redick, 4 years old-
total strangers until a few weeks
ago -have been occupying the
same human body.
But science Is slowly killing
Polly in an effort to save the life
of Bernice. Hypnotism fs work-
ing the cure in a purely scienti-
fic case.
The girl, formerly a high
school pupil at Lisbon. Ohio, was
brought to the Juvenile research
bureau here two months ago for
treatment.
"She was possessed of two dis-
tinct personalities," Dr. Goddard
said.
"In a single day she changed
back and forth eleven limes from
a 4 year old girl to her normal
self, a 19 year old girl.
