re — RAILROAD WAGES MORE BY BOARD (Continued trom First Page.) Bot require the same skilled service as other branches of carmen's work ‘This heavier reduction for the freight carmen came under especially severe etiticism in the minority report, the labor members declaring there was Ro justification for discriminaton in ear work. Gar cleaners, who now receive an average of $8.18 a day, were cut 5 ents an hour, or 40 cents a uay, The mechanics, whose daily rate Mow averages from $6.11 for electrical workers to $6.28 for blacksmiths, will Jose 56 cents a day under the new de- cision, bringing their daily wage .o approxim::tely $5.70. ‘The board's latest decision, which is to*be followed shortly by reductions for railway clerks, telegraphers and all ‘ other classes of railway employees ex- »@ept the train service men, was brief ‘and offered no explanation of how the jew rates were arrived at. This omis- sion brought more fire érom the dis- senters, who declared the majority de- cision did not consider ‘human needs’ ighored the pleas of the employees for a “living wage" and made ‘‘no at- tempt to show that mechanics are not entitled to such # standard."’ Suggestion for “some recognized standard,” to be worked out by the board and used as a basis for future wage adjustments, was coniained in thé minority report, which consumed several times the number of pages of the majority decision. The labor members felt, they sald, that the doard “should initiate a study which ‘shall determine the amount necessary to meet some recognized standard and that it must use its results as a basin for its decisions and that It must, through those decisions, trans- Ses SSS ——, Best mit this Information to the public." The decision, the minority report continued, tended “to substantiate the position of the railroads that wages need not be established with reference to the needs of the family,"’ contending that a minimum wage for the shop crafts should be 50 cents an hour, which would mean a rate of 87 cents for skilled mechanics, “The savings to the railroads far exceed anything justified by the sav- ings to the public in reduced rates," the dissenters sald, adding that pay- roll slashes during the last six months of 1921 had been made, including lay- offs, at the annual rate of $1,800,000, - 000, “in strong contrast to the increas- ing prosperity of the roads."’ “The increasing spread between profits and just wages will result in lowered morale, thus reductions will not result in economies,"’ the minority opinion said, “The majority failed to carry out the function for which the board was created,” continued the minority re- port, “Such decisions, giving no ex- planation to the public of the process by which the majority arrive at the rates established, gives the public an impression that these rates are not founded upon & careful consideration of facts. “The duty of the Labor Boar, as a constructive, impartial body, Is to provide means whereby railroad em- ployees can have their legitimate human needa satisfied without re- course to stoppages and to enlighten the public so that, through the state of unregulated Industry and the con- fusion of propaganda, they shall be able to see the real facts as they af- fect the body politic. This decision fulfils neither of these duties."’ CHICAGO LABOR WAR REPORTED AT END Rumored Mader Has Re- signed and Landis Award Is Accepted.
