Government Board Is Expected to Am
nounce New Wage Schedules
For Railroad Workers.

Chicago,-The railway labor board
may hand down its decision fixing a
new wage schedule for all classes c'''
railroad workers next week. No date
can be set definitely, however, accord
ing to Judge R. NJ Barton chairman
Of the board, as reconsideration of the
assembled decisions may delay the
final award for a week or more.
Judge Barton denied reports that
the board faced a deadlock because
of the widely divergent opinions Of
the members representing the roads
and the men Admitting that there
was natural difference Of opinion as
to what increases should be granted,
the chairman said no insurmountable
difficulties had been encountered.
Publication in Washington of the
text Of President Wilson's message
asking the board to expedite its award
cleared up the mystery which had
surrounded the telegram, receipt of
which had been denied by members
of the board. Judge Barton, after
reading the published text, announced
that the message was sent to him
marked personal and confidential"
and that he had therefore withheld il
from the rest Of the board.
