was ever in the style and manner Of

something that reached to the heart

VICTORY FOR
CLOSED SHOP
Organized Labor Wins Big Point
in Controversy With Pull
man Company.
UNION CONVENTIONS UPHELD
Railroad Labor Board Definitely De.
nies Right of Company to Refuse
to Deal With Employees Repre-
sentatives in Conferences.

Organized labor, in its defense of
the closed shop, won victory through
a decision of the United States rail-
road labor board dismissing the APP
plication of the Pullman company for
authority to reduce wages of it's shop
employees and clerks u per cent.
The decision marks stage in con-
troversy in which the Pullman COM
pany has been involved with labor
unions for several years. Specifically,
it disposed of dispute that originated
MAY %, when the company served
notice that it would cut wages July 1.
The contention of the unions in
fighting this proposal before the labor
board was that their representatives
were not called into conference with
the company officials, as provided by
the transportation act The Pullman
company, on the other hand, main
tanned it had satisfied the provisions
of the act when it placed the wage
question before a majority of its en-
ployees in mass meetings June 2.
OF 10079 employees, evidence pre-
sented to the board indicated, 6,112 at
tended the massmeetings. OF these
2,246 voted to accept the cut, 1920
opposed it, and 1,7O6 declined TO vote.
The board held that the wage con-
ferences should have been held with
the "duly elected representatives of
the employees"
The Pullman company had for years
declined to deal with union officials
in matters affecting its employees, and
had evolved an industrial relations
plan that organized labor has been
fighting.
