CHICAGO, June 27.—The United States Railroad Labor Board to-day extended its wage reduction order, ef- fective July 1, to nearly every large railroad in the country. No change from the average 12 per cent. reduc- Ses granted 104 carriers on June 1, ade by to-day’s decision. The Board's order to-day covered 210 roads The new decision will make a reality of the estimated $400,000,000 an- nual savings from wage reductions, The decision adds practically every railroad in the class one division to the original list of 104 roads author- ized to make the reduction. About one-half of the roads included in to-day’s award were parties to the original decision, the duplication result- ing from the fact that many roads did not include all classes of employees in their first petitions for a wage cut. All ciasses of employees have now been named in the submission of some of th roads, The wage cul, however, applies only to those classes on a given road *which were named in that road's sub- mission.

Other building “operations in the Bronx total nearly $25,000,000 more and there has been a growing monthly increase since the passing of the Collins Tax Exemption Law. “There is no telling where the present spurt will lead,” said Mr. Ravelle to The “ening Worid. “If only the ‘present rate is main- tained we will have under way before 1922 buildings to house about 10,000 families in the Bronx.+ This will be a big item and will go a great way toward cutting down the hard- ships that we faced early in the year.” Plans filed show that operations so far this year will accommodate 4,103 families. The homes to be con- structed have an estimated cost of | $16,784,050. “I never knew of such a boom be- fore,” said John Straton O'Leary, one of the pioneer building eperators of the Bronx. “Every one seems to have come forward with a wil! to relieve the situation.” | The first evidence of a spurt was) apparent in the Marck figures, which | showed plans filed for accommodations | for 867 families, at a coxt of $3,094,- 300. In January there had been filed, plans for only sixty-nine families at $276,900. February showed a little gain, the total jumping to accommo- date 153 families at an expenditure of $685,700. Then the Collins Tax Exemption Law went into effect and in March came the big juinp. There was a slight falling off in April wheo the figures dropped to 666 families at @ cost of $2,730,000, but in May they spurted again and buildings were planned to accommodate 1,105 families at a cost of $4,325,150. This record was broken for the first twenty-five | days of the present month, which saw plans filed for 1,244 families at a cost of $5,172,000. The operations are scattered all over the Bronx. There are over eighty large tenements planned, which will cost approximately 76 per cent. of the $17,000,000 to be spent. Tie other 25 per cent. is being put inv one, two and three family homes.
