The Unifid States Labor Board: did order a cut of from 1 ¥ 5 cents an Hour, which means $48,- 000,000 a ¥ear from 400,000 railway ‘men. This was voted § unday mghr to be effective July 1. This mo* was: taken:. appatently because it “has been hintetf by the railroads that some 200,000 additional men wbuld ‘bé put to work in case wages were brought down to the level before the $600,- 000,000 raise was given by the board-in July, 1920, Always there are'two sides to the question. Is it necessary to make these cuts in order: to restore sane freight rates and 'sane ‘working conditions?
