The shop crafts decision becomes effective July 1, the same date as last week's order. The minority report at the labor jeaders pointedly stated that the ma- jority decisicn becgmes effective July 1, the same date as last week's order. The minority report of the labor leaders pointedly stated that the ma- jority decision was made “with no consideration of human needs” and charges that it fails to carry out the function of the board to set a “just and reasonable” wage. “The tendency of this decision is to vindicate the propaganda of the rail: roads and consequently condemn such statements as the employes have been able to bring to public attention,” the minority opinion said..JIt was signed by Albert O. Wharton, W. L. MecMenimen and Albert Phillips, the three labor representatives. Supervisory forces of the railway shops were not decreased. After due consideration, the decision said, it was felt that the duties and responsibilities of such forces warranted maintenance of the present rates.
