W. W. Atterbury Chicago, March 22.—W. W. Atter- bury, vice-president of the Pennsyl- vania lines again was on the witnes: stand today when IFrank 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 offi- cial if he thought the labor board could establish such standards. “It can't establish any such stan- dards to cover the country,” Mr. At- terbury said. He said he thought it could establish standards for one road, such as the Pennsylvania and admitted the power of the board under the law to establish wage stan- dards. “No board can establish a wage standard that is national scope, however,” he added. Mr. Atterbury’s testimony yester- day when he turned the tables and crogs-examined MNr. Walsh using poker playing and cartoons as illus- trations of his points, brought a erowd to today's hearing. Mr. Walsh and Mr. Atterbury spent the morning session in verbal spar- ring the Pennsylvania vice-president always beginning questions of his own whenever Mr. Walsh seemed to be attempting to corner him. “Taking into consideration the immense mileage of the roads and their 8,500,000 employes wouldn’t the fact that thtre have been only 175 cases in dispute bhefore this board in a year indicate quiet and rest on the railroads,” asked Mr. Walsh. “No,”” answered Gen. Atterbury. “That only indicates that the people in Washington making decisions gave the men every blessed thing they asked for.” . After Gen. Atterbury had said that it classifications of work were de- manded hy the men the matter would have to go to the labor board if the plan of individual negotiation failed Mr. Walsh asked why not ‘place the matter before the board in the first place?” “Because the board is to qulet: not to foment trouble,” said Gen. Atter- bury. “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.” Gen. Atterbury said he thought he could find a case of restrictive pro- Auection for every rule in the national agreement and Mr. Walsh began questioning him on individual rules, but the dialogue soon led to an ar- gument of majority and, minority privileges. just in FINGER IS AMPUTATED.
