Far reaching changes in the rules, which supplant the national agree- ment made during federal con:rol, were, designed to afford a basis for permanént stability in the railroad shops of the country and were de- clared by.members of the Labor beard to be the most important work, yet done-by the board and of much great. er significance then any decision in the past, even including wage scale adjustments. Large economies are expected to re- sult from’ revision of the , classifica: tion rules, which were made more and hereafter will permit members of certain crafts to do mi- Ror jobs previously done by members of other crafts. Statisticians to ‘the Labor board estimated that economies in operation, increased ef- ficiency and larger outpit, would pa proximate $50,000,000 a year, ~ Provision for the representation of minorities who may have grievances is another important item of the new vules, . Under the national agree ment, negotiation for employes was pias almost wholly in the hands of Organizitions, with the result that the raliréads and many indus- trial and civie’ institutions declared thatthe agreement forced a closed union eee on the spade. eres men un it impracticable to ‘at- tempt to bring their grievances be- || tore the board’and as the rules work- ed out, union officials handled the cases, ‘taking their precedent ~ from the national. agreement negotiations in which,union officials acted for the employes in drawing up the agree- ment under federa) control. “The principle of the open shop es- tabilshed by the new rules,” a state- ment by board members said, ‘will in at the present time, since « majority of the raflroad shops are unionized and the existing unions are recognized by the board and by. the transportation act as representa- tive of the majority. “Most of the older working rules. sanctioned by the experience of years, in full effect. Many of were fal se more theoretical than prac- "| considerably. relaxed in favor of the roads, although the recognized rights of the men are fully protected and the principle of collective bargeining and union recognization is retained, as contemplated by the transporta- ton. ‘Ths rules controversy dates back to May 1920, when the ~ railroads from’ government control. Strenuous objectyns to the national agreemerft were made {n a hearing which began January 10, 1921. After several months of testimony, the rules were ieferred back to the indl- vidual roads with instructions to ne- gotiate such“new rules as they could with their employes to replace the federal government rules. Numerous rules were thus agreed upon on individual roads, but on no road was it possible to draft an cn- tiro new set. The rules disagreed up- on were then sent back tothe La- bor board, and the rules promulgated today will replace “any ‘such rules not greed upon by the roads and their employes.. In. any case where a rule has been agreed. upon by. the carrier and its employes, that rule governs, even thuogh the Labor board ruld ‘be entirely different. metho majority of the ‘offect- ed by the new’ rules is in class!- fication of the work to be performed by the various crafts. Almost with- out these classifications are made more elastic. Under: previous agree- ments with the shop crafts, tncluding the national agreement, it has been the,.custom to define in detail the Various types of work belonging to each | craft. The Carriers have complained that the national agreement set up in such minute detail the classification of du- tles that work not requiring special- ized skill in any craft was assigned ‘exclusively to @ partcular craft. For example work not requiring a me- chanic’s skill wis ~aasigned to skilled mechanic, thus making effl- clent and, economical operation: tm- possible, according to the railroads. The rules effective today broad the scope of each craft's work, The machinist working on runtiing repairs may connect or disconnect any wiring, coupling or pipe connections neces- sary to repair machinery or equip- ment. This work was previously as- signed to electricians and sheet metal workers, only, fe Under the new rules, engineers, firemen and” cranemeén are not pro- hibited from making such. repairs. to equipment on the lines of the road as PROPERTY OWNERS ASKED TO AID VICE CLEANUP BY _ With every place in Casper that is suspected of being con- nected with illegitimate GYerations or see + kind being kept closely under the observation of county and preparatory to further raids and cam- paigns against vice, a statement was issued this morning by County Attorney M. W. Purcell requesting that property state authorities here, | they are qualified to perform. The new rules thus allow train operatiyes to perform repair work even though it is ordinarily censidered shop me- chanic's work. Bollermakers' helpers under ‘the new rules are given the job of re- moving and replacing grates. Under the national agreement ali grate rig- ging work whs Rssigned to journey- men baflermakers. vt? The classification of the work of the sheet metal workers, electrical workers and carmen has been changed to allow some of the work previously performed by them ‘exclu- stvely to be done by their helpers and to mechanics in other crafts, where the needs of the seryice require {t. Under the national agreement carmen were exclusively assigned to wreck- ing crews) Under the new. rules Wrecking crews exclusive of egineers, will be composed of carmen, where snfficient men are available but when needed, men of any class may be taken as additional members of wreck- Ing crews. ‘ Fas Another important change affecting carmen is that which allows’ comman laborers to dismantle wooden freight cars hereafter, Under the national agreement, only, qualified ‘carpenters’ were allowed to do this work. About 68 per’ cent of ‘the country's freight ‘cars are built of wood. The new rule will permit employes getting $3.25: to $5 a day to do’ work previously’ re quired to be done by carmen recelv- ing $5.84 a day, -#n entirely new rule promulgated by the board, for the first time, creates a new type of apprentice to be known (as “special apprentice.” Previously there has beem-only two Kinds of apprentices in the skilled shop |, regular and\helpers’ ap- prentices. Regular. apprentices are youths entering the service between the ages of 16 and 21 years and sery- ng. four years’- appernticeship, and h np apprentices are those appren- ticed selected from the ranks of the helpers. Special apprentices are to be selected from. young men between the ages ‘of 18 and 26, who have had a technical school education, and tHey will be required to serve only three years apprenticesi:ip before Lecoming journeymen mechanics. Rules which required certain stand- artis of, force and equipment to be maintained for doing certain kinds of work have been modified and some discontinued, thus eliminating the ex- pense of maintaining unnecessary nien on the rolls. Other rules have been changed to allow the use of forces assigned to particular ‘classes | of work on-other work, when there is no work of their particular class to be performed. Lil | Many of the rules are highly tech- |nieal in’ character.

From the first {twas strongly criticised by the raflroad managements and others be- cause they contended it tmposed, un- economia methods of operation “on the railroads, limited the discretion and control of the management and greatly increased the cost of opera- tion.

Otherwise when the place is seized by officials the* property ownem should not mre- sent the plea that he was not advised of the class of place operated or the danger of having that place abatéd end si up for a year under the state law which permits injunctions against and abatement of properties.
