Electric Railway
Employees Barred
at Wage Hearing
By Associated Press.

~ A1SocAdted IreS1.
Shlcago, Dec. 18.-The Unite
states railway labor board handed
ooWn decision today interpreting
the Esch- -Cummins transportation act
TO mean that the board does not have
jurisdiction over any interurban or
electric lines
Appeals from employees of various
lines asking the board to hear their
grievances were denied.
The decision affects every electric
interurban in the country and many
city transportation systems owned by
interurban companies.
Arguments In the case were heard
several months ago. Members of the
ooard stated at the time their belief
that regardless Of which side won.
the matter would be appealed to the
United states supreme court for in
depreciation OF tho transportation act.
The decision was rendered in cases
brought by the sixteen railway broth
erhoods against eleven electric lines
whose employees have joined the rec
ognized organizations of steam road
employees. The roads involved include
the interurban railway Of Des Moincs,
and the Iowa. Fort Dodge, Des Moines
& Southern Railroad.
The board held that the meaning of
congress In the transportation act
was to exempt all electric lines mot
operating as a part Of a general
steam railroad SYSTEM Of transporta-
tion." The fact that some electric
lines, all freight, exchange cars with
steam lines. operate in interstate
traffic, or use In part the tracks of a
steam line, does not bring those lines
within tho provisions Of the law, the
decision says.
The board also points out that the
interstate commerce commission has
granted the interurbans a freight rate
increase, but decided 1t had no juris-
diction over the passenger business
1T II obvious as practical mat
ter" the board says. that the grant
ing by the labor board Of a wage in
crease, without corresponding author
ity to tho interstate commerce COM
mission to raise rates would result In
serious complications. The labor
board and the Interstate commerce
commission were clearly intended to
be interdependent in this matter
Such intention would be nullified Il
the labor board assumed jurisdiction
where the interstate commerce COM
mission was without It.
