! as inconsistent and unsatisfactory, D and announced that it should be re- ! iected by the delegates representing ithe union. The principal demands of the unrecognized unions, self styled "vaca : tionists," was for restoration to the po- 1 sitions they left with full seniority rights and s1 an hour pay. The roads
 have maintained the strikers forfeited ] their rights when they quit work and this stand had the support of the rec ognized brotherhoods.
 The question of rules, under which this dispute falls; has not yet been taken up by the board, but as soon as the express employees wage case is dis posed of the board plans revising the
 rules in effect on all roads.
 The award does not go into the dspo- stion of the many working conditions which the brotherhoods interwove with
 their requests for increased pay.
 Such subjects as the payment of over
 time for Sunday and holiday work, the continuation or elimination of the na- tional agreement, the application of the award to the various new rail organiza- tions were not included in the desision, and these questions will have to be de- termned later.
 The separation of these two phases of the controversy was done on the assump- tion that adequate investigation of these questions would demand time and be- cause the existing tense labor conditions called for an early decision on the wage question
 In making it's flat monetary award several differentials which have long been a source of contention and dssat- 1 isfacton among railway employees were adiudged. The differential which had given car repairmen higher rating than switchmen was virtually wiped out The recent strikes of switchmen have partly 1 been attributed to this differential 1 The repairmen were granted an in- crease of 13 cents an hour bringing their normal daily wage to $s.4S The switch mems rate was advanced from $5.33 to
 S6.S6 and helpers from 8 to SEAS.

 Railway shopment, $193, ,237, coo

 Nearly ,000 employees of the Ameri can Railway Express Company are not included within the provisions of to- days awards. The board will open a hearing Thursday to pass on their de- mands. Only blacksmiths. electricians and other shop employees of the ex- press company, some 2,50o~in number are affected by today's decision.
 The problem of the railroad men who joined new unions last April and struck for immediate increases also remains unsolved. The labor board maintained it's stand that the strikers violated the transportation act by walking out without first submitting their grievances and that therefore the case of the strikers was not before the board. No reference to the new unions is made in the deqision. but the preamble specifically names eighteen recognized organizations as being parties thereto on behalf of the men,

 in other indc stries, however, differ as between different parts of the coun- tr5. Yet standardization of pay for rail- read employees has proceeded so far and possess such advantages that it was deemed inexpedient and impracticable to establish new variations based on these varying conditions. 4e
 "The board has endeavored to fx such W ages as will provide decent living and secure for the children of the wage earners opportunity for education, and yet to remember that that no class of Americans should receive preferred treat ment, and that the great mass of the peo- pie must ultimately pay a great part of the increased cost of operation entalled by the increase of wages determined herein.
 Those persons who consider the rates determined on too high, should reflect on the abnormal conditions resulting from the high cost of living and the high rates now being paid in other indus try. The employees who may believe tne SC rates too low should consider the in- creased burden these rates will place on their fellow countrymen, many of whom are less favorably situated than them- selves"
