Rail Workers Ask
Adjustment Board
speoiaz Dispatch to The Trtoa,le

NFsC!QI DiSpUIcH 10 fNS 1TtO1Nc
PHILADELPHIA, March "A plan
for the adjustment Of all future dis.
putes between the shop crafts en-
poyees Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and the officials Of that corporation
was offered by the workers representa-
tives this afternoon at conference
with George H.. Peck, vice-president in
charge OF personnel.
The meeting was the first to be held
anywhere in pursuance Of the new rail-
road law, which provides for the setting
boards of adjustment to handle all
matters at issue between the roads and
the men.
NJ. NJ. Jonas, president Of an organi-
zation known as System Federation 30,
which takes in all the shop crafts em-
ployees of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and H. A. Bixler, secretary Of the same
organization. met Mr. Peck in the lat
ters office.
The conference WAS Of preliminary
nature. At it the workers were pre-
pared to offer the railroad officials
plan which they had worked out ten
| tatively and to receive any alternative
plan the railroad may have to offer.
Another conference will be held Thurs
day. Mr.. Atterbury is expected to at
tend later conferences, at which details
of the plan will be worked out.
Whatever plan is agreed upon finally
by the officials and the workers will
apply to all the shop employees on the
Pennsylvania system, east and west.
Under the new arrangement by which
the railroads have resumed ownership
of the lines, fifty-one separate corpo-
rations, grouped under Ave headings,
which heretofore have made up the
Pennsylvania system, will be grouped
into one and administered under one
parent company. The plans will be
subject to the approval Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Though the workers have issued no
statement, it is known authoritatively
that they desire the appointment Of
small railway board of control to keep
down the expense Of administration.
Under the provisions of tho new law
this board of control will consist Of
equal representation of workers and Of
ficials. The union men will ray the
salaries Of their representatives and
provide their meeting place.
The workers present tentative plan
provides for the sending Of one or two
representatives, members Of tho board,
to points where matters In dispute have
arisen, to take evidence and present it
to the entire board for discussion and
adjustment, very much as at present
the state Public Service Commission
delegates one or two Of its members to
conduct hearings and report.

ability OF the road returning to it's
owners was seen. the directors author
lied the purchase Of all-steel equip
ment sufficient to furnish seven com
plete suburban trains. 1t will be sew
eral months before the cars can be
delivered. The Erie management re-
grets that in the mean time the public
must be more or less incommoded."
