Atter- bury, vice president of the Pennsyl- vania lines, again was on the witness stand today. when Frank P. Walsh, labor attorney, began the fourth day of his cross-questioning of railroad officials before the Railroad Labor Board. . Mr. Walsh inquired concerning standards of classification in railroad labor, asking the Pennsylvania of- ficial if he thought the iabor board could establish such standards. “It can’t establish any such stand ards to cover the country,” Mr. Atter- bury said He said he thought it couid establish standards for one road, such as the Pennsylvania, and admitted the power of the board un- der the law to establish wage stand- ards. “No board can establish a jnst wage standarq that is national in scope, however,” he added. Mr. Atterbury's testimony yester- day, when he turned the tables and cross-examined Mr. Walsh, using poker playing and cartoons as illus- trations of his points, brought a crowd to today’s hearing. Verbal Sparring. Mr. Walsh and Mr. Atterbury spent most of the mornigs on in ver- bal sparring, the lennsylvania vice president always beginning ques- tions of his own whenever Mr. Walsh Sseemed to be attempting to corner him. To most of Mr. Walsh's conten- tions concerning justness of working conditions. he replied that ‘“that might be true, and undoubtedly could be settled in negotiations between in- dividual roads and the employes.” “Taking into consideration the im- mense mileage of the roads and their 8,500,000 employes, would not the fact that there have been only 175 cases in dispute before this board in a year indicate quiet and rest on the rail- roads” asked Mr. Walsh. “No,” answered Mr. Atterbury. *“That only indicates that the people in ‘Washington making decisions gave the men every blessed thing they asked for.” Would Go to Labor Board. After Gen. Atterbury had said that if classifications of work were de- manded by the men the matter would have to go to the labor board, pro- vided his plan of individual negotia- tion failed, Mr. Walsh asked why not “place the matter before the board in the first place?” “Because the board is to quiet, not foment trouble,” said Gen. Atterbury. “If the board starts in to write rules, it won't be pouring oil on troubled waters, but will be throwing rocks in the water.” Mr. Walsh took up many railroad labor rules in what seemed to be an attempt to get Gen. Atterbury to ad- mit that some basic rule or principle of the national agreement was just, but the witness always countered either by denying the rule's justness or saying that “it might be put into effect on the Pennsylvania by indi- vidual negotiation.” Gen. Atterbury’s Stand. Brig. Gen. W. W. Atterbury took an emphatic stand against national agree- ments, which he termed “prolific of misunderstandings” in a heated all-day cross-examination before the Railroad Labor Board yesterday. Questioning by Mr. Walsh brought replies from Gen. Atterbury, and time and again the witness replied by cross-questioning his interrogator. The gist of Gen. Atterbury’s testi- mony may be summarized thus: Rules should be negotiated between officials of the roads and their own em- ployes, across the comference table, “like a game of poker.” The eight-hour day could mot be universally applied to all employes, especially train service men, “because the Lord didn't build the railroads that way.” The establishment of the hourly basis of shop work has destroyed the energy and inftiative of shop employes and abolition of piece work would be the “most dreadful thing that could happen to railroad employes.” National rules constituted a dog col- lar around the necks of the railroads, which would be free to negotiate their own rules with their own employes “the minute the board cuts the dog collar.” Refers to Cartoon. Gen. Atterbury was referring to a from a labor paper represent- ing national gareements as a collar on a dog labeled “Railroads,” and led by “Labor.” Two charges against umon officials were lald down by the general in the climax of the day’s testfmony. He declaved that although the national agreements had the object of employ- ing more men, he was “a better friend of my men than any of the union men at this table” ~ The declaration brought from Mr. Walsh a query whether Gen. Atterbury represented the section hands of his road. “No, but you do not. Those men are Dot represented here,” the general re- piied. Shortly afterward, in a discussion of specific rules, Gen. Atterbury demanded that the rules be interpreted clearly and words defined. Mr. Walsh said he thought the ordinary meaning of words applied. This brought a quick retort trom the witness: “Yes, but when it comes to devising means and methods of getting money out of a rule, you gentlemen are the most expert of any I know.” ““These rules appear very clear to me, Gen. Atterbury,” Mr. Walsh said. “That's because you don’t know any- thing about them,” the witness replied. “Dog Collar” Placed om Roads. In his testimony Gen. Atterbury said that he had always been able to nego- “Cultivate the Habit of Taking Home Candy” splendid fection. Not the highest priced candy, but the highest grade camdy that any price can buy.

He read from several American Federation of Labor balletins, which, he said, “throttled the ems ployes.” Gen. Atterbury read a statement ear- lier in" the day, which declared the American people had reached “the part- | ing of the ways.” ““No more ious question confronts us today,” he said. “One road Ie ol government ownership. national Plumb planism and s the other road to ind the continuation of th 4 tiative, energy and responsibility which | is peculiarly American. The signboard on one road is ‘National Agreements’; on the other road, ‘Negotiate D:reclly) With Your Own Employ | Gen.

M. Costin here yesterday, notice was given to the management that no reductions would be accepted and that the workers had decided to appeal the case to the labor board for final decision. Joseph Dutton of Tndianapolis, gen- eral chairman throughout the Big Four system for maintenance of way and shop laborers, announced that he had received orders from the grand president of his union not to accept any reductions. He stated that this was also the sentiment expressed by the men when a recent circular an- of rates reduction nouncing. was — A Beautiful Complexion & Admiration Ladies— A few days’ treatment with CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER up the skin than all CART L ménta ' crea ER i perfect plexion is a it liver. i and mi Milhflolp{’mp_!&m d middie age, Bty ‘sod i 3 myfl o Skin.
