FAVORABLE RULING
STRONG 8-HOUR AWARD MADE
BY LABOR BOARD

Washington.-In an 8-hour award
in the case of Foundry Employees
union No. 18 versus the American
Locomotive company of Schenectady,
N. Y, and two other cases, the ma
tional war labor board orders that in
each establishment a permanent COM
mittee of four shall be created to
fairly enforce the eight-hour decision.
The committee shall consist of two
employees and two company repre-
sentatives, the decisions of any three
Of whom shall be binding.
This plan to give workers a greater
influence in the making of working
conditions was first announced by
Chief Justice Clark of the North
Carolina supreme court, acting as
umpire for the board in the case Of
Wheeling (W. Va.) iron molders
VS.. the Wheeling Mold and Foundry
company. The full board now writes
this theory into eight-hour decisions
that effect the American Locomotive
company, the Mason Machinery COM
pany Of Taunton, Mass, and the
United Engineering company Of
Youngstown, Ohio.
In these case the board rules that
excessive overtime shall not be eX-
acted or permitted and no worker
shall be entitled to overtime pay or
extra time unless he shall work 48
hours in said full week Cor SO hours
where a holiday intervenes), except
III the case Of illness or other una
voidable cause.
The employer shall guarantee to
each worker who shall be employed
on the first day Of any week the op-
portunity to work at least Al hours
in such week, or 36 hours where a
holiday intervenes, exclusive of over
time or extra time, and in default Of
providing such employment shall pay
the worker full time for such hours,
exclusive of overtime and extra time.
The locomotive company is ordered
t) pay for all time worked over 48
hours in any one week since May l
last and double time for work done
on Sundays and legal holidays.

all of our people and only by holding
a great national meeting such as we
have arranged can his message be
properly got to the citizens Of the

"By bringing to Chicago repre-
sentative men and women from var
ious sections of the country the
spirit of President Gompers' message
will go throughout the country as it
could in no other way"

SADIE GOMPERS is DEAD

Washington.-Miss Sadie Gompers,
only daughter of President Gompers
and Mrs. Gompers, died in this city
after a two-days' illness with in
fiuenza. Interment was private. Pres
ident Gompers was in Italy with the
American labor mission at the time
of the tragic occurrence.
Miss Gompers was an accomplished
singer, and she was we'll known to
trade unionists because of the many
conventions and public meetings she
had attended with her father. The
high esteem in which she was held
was indicated by the kilograms and
floral offerings received at the family
residence from trade unionists and
other friends in every section of the
country.

FORCED TO ACCEPT 8 HOURS

Wheeling, w. Va.-It was neces-
sary for representatives of the de-
partment of labor to acquaint the
West Virginia Aircraft company with
the governments labor policy before
the management came down from its
"high horse" Carpenters were forced
to work nine and one-half hours a
day and when they attempted to pro-
test their committee was denied re-
cognition. To force matters they re-
fused to work longer than eight hours
and the company locked them out.
Government representatives Sc
cured settlement which establishes
the eight-hour day with pay for over
time.

The trouble existing between the
Ohio Electric Railway and its en-
ployes, which resulted last week in
a walk-out and a complete tie-up of
the lines operated by the company,
has been adjusted in manner emf
nently satisfactory to the striking
operators.
James Leedy and l.. S. Loughman,
members of Division No. 839 of this
city, returned from Springfield Mon
day, and are we'll pleased with the re-
suits obtained, having secured recog-
milton of the union and a substantial
increase in wages.
Through an agreement drawn up
by representatives of the war labor
board and signed at an early hour
Monday morning, by H. c. Glpin,
general manager of the company,
arrangements were completed for
ending the strike which had tied up
the interurban and local traffic since
last Tuesday. 1t was agreed that
representatives of the four division
unions present at the executive ses-
sion should at once notify their local
organizations of existing conditions,
and that after the action had been
ratified by meetings to be immediate
ly called, the ban should be lifted and
the men permitted to resume work as
soon as possible. This was accom-
plished in short order and cars were
running before noon on Monday.
The real cause of the strike order
being withdrawn was the official re-
cognition of the union by the Ohio
Electric Co. through it's general man
ager, in signing the following agree
ment:
at is agreed by the officials of
the Ohio Electric Railway company
that in any conference between
them and a committee of their en-
ployes, during the life of such an
award as may be made by the Ma
tional War Labor Board, they will
permit a properly accredited repre-
sentative of the employees to be
present, even though he is not him
self an employe.
(Signed) III. G. Gilpin,
"Gen1 Mgr"
This action on the part of the rail
way company came as result of the
efforts made by Harry S. Godfrey, c.
E. Hope and VIM. A. Davis, members
of the War Labor Board, who arrived
i'll Springfield on Sunday, assisted by
