h (a IN SHOP FOR RAIL CRAFTS S ORDERED BY PAYROLL CUT OF $50,000,000), CHICAGO, Dec. 1 (Associated Press).—Economies in operation and increased efficiency, estimated to reach $50,000,000 a year, and recogni- tion of the “open shop” on all Amer- jean rAilroads were forecast to-day in the promulgation of révised work- ing rules governing railroad shop employees by the United States Rail- road Labor Board, The rules become effective to-day 42nd take jurisdiction over approxi- itely 400,000 men immediately, al- though still more will be affected when normal traffic conditions are restored. | Farreaching changes in the rules, which supplant the national agree- ment made during Federal control, were designed to afford a basis for permanent stability in the railroad shops of the country, and were de- clared by members of the Labor } Board to be the most important work | yet done by the board, and of much greater significance than any deci- New System Made Effective To-Day Involves 400,000 Employees and Eliminates Great Waste in Repair Work. LABOR BOARD; established by the new rules,” a statement by board members sald, “will, in fact, be more theoretical than practical at the present time, since a large majority of the railroad shops are unionized and the existing unions are recognized by the board and by the Transportation Act as representa- tive of the majority. “Most of the older working rules, sanctioned by the experience of years, are preserved in full effect. “Many of the more rigid rules, however, were considerably relaxed in CLEANLINESS “Cleanliness is the first virtue” This is the opinion of makers of “Pride of ‘the Farm To- mato Catsup.”” From the first careful sorting and vigorous favor of the roads, although the reo- ognized rights of the men are ful of contemplated by portation Act.” The majority of the changes effected by the new rules is In the classification of the work to be performed by the various crafts. Almost without excep- tion these classifications are made more elastic. Under previous agree- ments with the shop crafts, including the national agreement. it has been the custom to define in detail the vari- ous types of work belonging to each craft. The carriers have complained that the nation! agreement set up in such minute detail the classification of duties that work not requiring spe- clalized skill in any craft was assigned exclusively to a particular craft. Under the new rules, engineers, firemen and cranesmen are not pro- hibited from making such repairs to equipment on the lines of the road as they are qualified to perform. ‘The new rules thus allow train oper- atives to perform repair work, even though {t Is ordinarily considered shop mechanic’s work. Bollermaker’s, helpers under the new rules, are given the job of re- moving replacing grates. Under the national] agreement, all grate rig- king work was assigned to journey- men bollermakers. The classification of the work of the sheet metal workers, electrical work- ‘8 and car men has been changed to allow some of the wurk previously performed by them exclusively to be done by their helpers and by mecha jes in other crafts where the nee of the service require it. Under the national agreement, car men were exclusively assigned tu wrecking crews. Under the new rules, wrecking crews exclusive of engineers, will be composed of car- men where sufficient men are avall- able! but, when uveded, men of any class may taken as additional members, Another important change affect- ing car men ts that which allows common laborers to dismantie wood*n freight cars herafter. Under the tional agreement, only qualified car- penters were allowed tu do this work. —$—<$—<>—____ DPSPONDENT; FOUND DEAD FROM GAs.
