TUESD Seniority Rights Hitch in Railway Strike Solution “Seniority rights” compose the great barrier facing mediators ia thelr attempts to end the pro- tracted strike of railroud shop- men. Few persons understand just what these “rights” are. Records show that they were established by the Labor Board in a decision handed down in November, 1921 and that they provided as follo “Rule 17.—Employes serving on night shifts desiring day work shall have preferences when va- cancies occur, according to their seniority. “Rule 18.—When new jobs are created or va es occur in the crafts the oldest em- in point of service, shall, ent ability is shown by trial, be given preference in fil ing such jobs or any vacancies that may be desirable. “Rule” 27.—When it becomes necessary to reduce expenses the hours may be reduced to forty per week before reducing the force, When the force is reduced seniority gover “In restoratio 1 -off men will of forces senior be given pref- erence in returning to service. if available ~within —a reasonable time, and shall be returned to their former positions If possible. “Rule 29.-~When reducing forces if men are needed at any other point they will be given prefer- ence to transfer to’nearest point. with privilege of returning to home station when force is in- sed, such transfer to be made thout expense to the compa conference in Lon@on in a lon ta. ment to the Havas Agency defines its’ position at the breakup of thel medt- ing, affirms’ that the delégation showed patlence and moderatio: throughout, and declares that jGer- many s persevering in & policy: cal: culated to make Europe believe she is In a atate of bankruptcy. : Germany’s plan of action, said the statement, explained the systematic depreciation of her currency. She was certain to ruin her own_credit in the operation, but counted o1 the allien being forced to favor an inter- national loan and thus restore her credit. She hoped that the first credit operation for her would be made pos- sible without coercion or pledges and if the operation produced twenty bil- lion marks for reparations she would consider she had paid enough. Her situation then would be better than that of the victorious alliex since she would have only a small foreign debt and her industry would be In full activity. Thus she would resume in Europe and the world, 'at the expense of the alliex, the ece nomic hegemony wrested from her. by the four years of war. The French delegation wished (o oppose an equitable and rational program 1o this German scheme. Would Avold Rupture.
