The order affects 400, 000 men This order, the $400,000,000 slash of last July, and pending orders affecting other classes, if they carry the same ratio of redu:tions, gill place railroad labor back where |t was before the $600,000,000 increase of “May, 1920. Impending decisions governing «the wages of 500,000 railway shopmen, 200,000 clerks, telegraphers, siation employes and other classes, were ex- pected to follow closely upon. last night's order, which cut the pay>of maintenance of way workers from one to five cents an hour. While their settlement over working rules still is pending, the “big four’ brotherhoods and the switchmen are not yet involved in any wage dispute as before the board. Thos classes 'r< ceived a 12 per cent reduction last July, however. Immediate consideration of last night's order by the executive council of the United Brotherhood of Mainte-- nance of Way Employes was in pros- pect today with the prediction by’ B. M. Jewell, head of the railway depart- ment of the American Federation of Labor that the decision will be rajeeted and submitted to a vote of the mens Brotherhood officials characterized the cut as “indefensibie” asserting that the case they presénted to the board did not warrant the reductions The three labor members of the board returned a dissenting opinion to .the order " Wages of maintenance of way em- Ployes, now ranging from 2: to 40 cents an hour, will, after July 1, range from 23 to 35 cents. Common labor suffered the biggest cut. This class numbers about 187,000 employes who face a rafiuction of five cents an hour. Section, track and maintenance fore- men will take a three cent reduction, while mechanics not under the shop crafts agreement were cut four cents and mechanics’ helper one cent. , In its order the board expressed the belief that after the reductions are made; common labor on the railroads will still be receiving higher wages than similar labor in most other in- dustries. 2 BOY IS SCOLDED, TAKES OWN LIFE WOODLAKE, Neb., May 29.—After he had been scolded by his mother, with whom he had been working in |a garden, Harold, 13-year-old son of Charles Kirkpatrick, manager of the local station of the Standard Of com- pany, yesterday went into the house, placed his brother's shotgun between 'his knees and pulled the trigger, kill- ing himself instantly.
