IS RETROACTIVE
 FIRST OF MAY, 20
Opinion is That Labor Board Has Been More Generous Than Unions OF Members Expected.

chicdEo. Aug. 10.-Thirty million dollars was added today to the na- tion's express hill. The T., \. rail- way labor board awarded the S0.00O employees of the American Railway Express Co, an increase of is cents an hour. The decision Is retroactive to May 1, 1920.
 Under the terms of the Esch-Cum- rnins transportation act the express company will be permitted to raise ifa rates sufficiently to meet the in- creased labor costs. Arguments in tho rate case already have been pre- scented before the interstate commerce rcommisslon at Washington,
 New Decision Later. d, sTodny's award does not go into the question of rules and working condi- tons. As was the case last month when the board granted a $500. .000,- 900 increase to railway employees it was announ ed that a decision cover ing new working rules would be hand cd down later.
 The express decision applies to all express employees save 2.500 shopmen who were given an increase of i3 cents an hour in the railway award last month. The award to express men is slightly better than the aver aRe increase to the railroad men the hodrd finding tha. express employees iah a class were not SO well paid as men in other limos of railroad work. & Four Unions Affected. E. -Four unions are affected by the boards decision. They are:
 The brotherhood Of railway and -teamship clerks. freight handlers, express and station employees.
 {. The International brotherhood of tea ursters, chauffeurs, stable men and helpers of America. ! The railway express drivers. chauf- feurs and conductors local No. 720 of ch'caRo.
 The order of railway expressmen.
 Each Get same Raise.
 The board divided express en- pioyes in i've classes but the increase granted was in each case the same, sixteen cents an hour. Messengers and other express employees In the train scEsice whose hours arc com .Jputed on a basis Of 2Io hour month will receive an Increase of f3s.4o. All other employees working on the 2Of hour per month basis will receive 9a2.64 more. The board directs that pay from May 1 to August 51 shall he paid to employees separately from 
 they may know the exaCt amount Of back pay received.
 No Statcmcnt~ Made.
 Presidents of the express unions who were present when the award was handed down, were non-com- mital on it's acceptahility but the general impression was that tho la- bor board had been slightly moro generous than either tho unions or tho express company had expected. Two of tho unions hnd demanded in- rrenses of sbt per month while tho other two asked an increase of t35 monthly.
 The brotherhood of railway and steam ship clerks. freight handlers. ex- press and station employees will hold a grand lodge meeting here tonight to pass on the award. About 66.oOO of tho sO.0OO express employees arc eaid to be members Of thts union.
