PETITION OF
PENNSY TO BE
: TURNED DOWN
Rail Labor Board to Deny
Roads Request in Treating
With Employees.
MAY, IGNORE DECISION

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-The United State;
Railroad Labor Board has prepared
ruling which refuses the petition of the
Pennsylvaia company that it be allowed
to treat with its $500 employees without
meeting federated shop craft officials, ii
was learned today.
That the road may refuse to abide py
such a decision was intimated by utter
ances of its officials and by its petition
to the board which went so far as in
sisting" that it be granted the right to
deal directly with its employees instead OF
"outside~ labor officials"
FIGHTS BATTLE
OF ALL ROADS.
Added significance was given this atti-
tude by the fact that the Pennsylvania
for months has been fighting the battle
of all the roads before the board.
The ruling, when it is made public,
will have little effect on the critical rail-
fFoad situation, it WAS believed in rail-
rail circles here
The way for the Pennsylvania to VIC
late a ruling of the board is easy as
there is no penalty for violation Of the
boards edicts, members of the organiza-
ton have said. Public opinion will be
the deciding factor-the court OF ap-
pcals over the railroad board, accord
in7 to one railroad official.
This statement of Elisha Lee, vice pres
ident Of the Pennsylvania, was considered
significant:
Under no circumstances can we hon
orably pursue the course directed by tAe
railroad board.A
IF SUCCESSFUL
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW.
The Pennsylvania for months has been
fighting the battles of all other roads
before the board. 1t was that road
which first entered the petition for the
slash in wages which became effective
July 1. Other roads then filed their in
dividual petitions.
If the Pennsylvania is successful IA
defying the board it generally is oellevea
the other roads will follow that source.
Sentiment of workers who have voted
overwhelmingly against acceptance OF the
wage cut Of July, toward the open
shop trend of the roads, will be tested
in Chicago and several other cities Sun
day when meetings will be held.
