DUE THE TRA|NMEN
Committees Representing the
Railroads and Brotherhoods
Readjusting Time Schedules.
NEW EIGHT-HOUR DAY BASIS

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. March 20 - Much hard
work remains for the railroad managers
and the brotherhood leaders as a result
of Yesterdays agreement putting into
effect an eight-hour day as from Janu-
ary ]. The task of fitting the new work
ing day to the time schedules Of every
railroad in the country was taken up to-
day by committee of the brotherhoods
and a subcommittee of the railroad man
ayers.
About 500 separate wage contracts must
be signed on the new basis. These COM
mittees will decide in what manner the
back wages due the men from the first
of the year will be computed 1t Is
estimated that the employees will receive
between $12. 900 900 and 100000. There
was some talk today of leaving the com
putation TO the eight-hour commission,
headed by Maj. Gen. C. w. Goethals.
The actual labor of effecting detailed
changes in pay schedules will be done in
| conferences between the individual man
ayers of roads and the general chalrmen
of the four brotherhoods on these roads.
With some 200 roads represented in the
recent controversy, approximately soo
forms of contracts will have to be re-
vised SO that 25O,000 employees in freight
service may receive increases averaging
$240 yearly. or a total OF s60,000.o00 year
| ly, as estimated by railroad heads
Nearly All Embargoes Lifted.
Freight service on all trunk lines mas
been more or less deranged by embargoes
declared in anticipation of strike.
Nearly all the railroads lifted their en-
har haa rd
of the settlement. A return to normal
conditions on some lines was delayed by
the necessity of making reciprocal ar
rangements with connecting roads.
The brotherhood chiefs were in a
happy mood as they dispatched their
code kilograms calling off the strike.

Foresees Protracted Peace.
| w c. Lee, spokesman for the broth
erhoods. made it plain that he look ed
for peace in the railroad world for a
long time Asked whether there was
any intention to bring up in the con-
ferences the question of punitive over
time. Mr.. Lee said:
THAT will not be brought up now.
We believe that overtime can largely
be done away with by speeding up the
chedules.'
