S4OOO,OOO,OOO WAGE CUT
LABOR8BOARD EXTENDS IL Per CENT.
REDUCTION TO employees.

Employees on virtually every rail-
road will feel the IL per cent wage cut
ordered by the Railroad Labor Board
to take effect July 1, following a sup
Elemental decision extending the Or
der to nearly 100 additional roads.
The wage slash authorized June 1
to take effect today (Friday) Origi-
nally contemplated 104 railroads, al
though not all employees were affect
ed on all roads. The addendum to that
decision now includes 210 roads, many
of which were parties to the original
decision, but which returned to ask
reductions for employees not covered
in the first order.
The reductions authorized were
identical with those of the original or
der, the only change being the addi-
ton of rates for marine workers in
certain harbOrs and of a section COW
ering restaurant and dining-car en-
ployees whose wages were ordered re-
duced by so per cent of all increases
receive since February 29, 1920.
Except a few subsidiary lines,
whose parent owners filed petitions
for reductions, every railroad af-
fected by decision number two, the
labor boards $6OO,OOO,OOO wage
award of July 1920, has been author
lied to reduce wage at an average of
12 per cent. Most of them have re-
ceived such permission for all classes
of employees. In addition, nearly two
score other roads which voluntarily |
applied the increased scale fixed that
board in 1920, also have received au-
thorization to make similar cut.
Basing it's figures on the normal
of employees on all roads af-
fected by decision No. 2, the labor
board recently estimated that its IL
per cent reduction would cut approx
imately $4OO,OOO,OOO from the nations
railroad wage bill, if applied to all
