Conditions Not Treated.
The award did not deal with work

only. 1t leaves the way open for
further hearings. The. matter of
overtime and holiday and Sunday
pay was not mentioned and will
stand for the present as II is now
operative. which is different on the
various roads.
AS the increase is retroactive the
employees will have coming to them
on their next pay day the aggregate
of three months increase. The
board urged the roads to proceed
without unnecessary delay in pay
ing this amount. but, in view of the
large amount Of clerical work it will
involve, asked the men to be patient
and refrain from pressure or
criticism.
In its decision the board says:
1T has been found by this board
that the scale of wages paid rail-
road employees is below that paid
for similar work in outside industry,
that the increase in living costs
throws wages below pre-war stand
ards of living and that justice as
we'll as the maintenance of an es-
sential industry in an efficient con-
dition requires a substantial in
crease to practically all classes.
Those persons who consider the
rates determined on herein too high
should reflect on the abnormal con-
ditions resulting from the high cost
of living and the high rates no>
being paid in other industries"
