SHOP TRADES HAIL DECISION
OF RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
AS VICTORY IN STATEMENT
Set Of Is Principles Is
Approved by All Mem
bers; Big Business Had
Influenced Course Of
Board, Says Gompers.

Chicago, April 15.-Abroga-
hon of the national agreements
between the railroads and their
employees, announced Thursday
by the railroad labor board,
was officially accepted Friday
night by the executive council
of the shop trades in a state
ment which hailed the decision
as a great victory for labor, de-
claring it did not impair labor's
economic or social status.
About 100000 men are en-
ployed in the shop crafts.
Steel Trust Influence?
During the day the railroads through
the conference committee, the Asso-.
citation of Railway Executives and
through statements from the heads OF
federal roads, approved the decision
as a whole, although critlcsing GER
tain phases of it.
The attitude of the shop trades
council, however apparently was not
shared by all labor leaders, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in a statement
issued in New York, declaring that the
board must have been Influenced BY
big business while others termed the
decision the swork of the steel trust"
and criticised it severely.
Board Is Pleased.
The labor board itself expressed
satisfaction over the fact that the de-
cision apparently had met with some
that this indicated it had at least
opened the way to a perment indus
trial neace between railroad employees
and employers.
The decision of the board to permit
individual conference between each
road and it's employees instead Of grant
ing labor's request for one national
conference, was said by board mem
bers to have been the only course open.
Negotiations Unhampered.
''There is nothing in the law to
authorize the board to set up ma
tional conference or a national set OF
agreements" said a member of the
public group. "Every railroad has The
free and inalienable right to negotiate
with it's own employees if it SO desires
and every American citizen has the
right to make his own terms with his
employers if he so desires. Neither
could be bound by concerted action on
either side"
The board also let it become known
that while the set of sixteen principles.
which the decision said should be part
of any agreement, was written by
Henry T. Hunt, of the public group,
it had been approved by each member
of the board, although only major
ity was necessary to incorporate it
in the decision.
