NEW RULES FOR
RAIL employees
ARE GIVEN OUT
Four Hundred Thousand Affected
By Latest Pronouncement of
Labor Board

Chicago, Dec. New working
rules for the 100000 railroad shop
men including at least two important
changes, were handed down today Ey
the United States raiircad labor
board This decision supplanted the
agreement entered into by the en-
ployes and the United States railroad
administration September 20, 1919.
The rules were passed unanimous
ly by the board including the vote q.
a. c. Wraton, Of the labor group, who
east a dissenting vote upon the last
wage cut.
One of the most important changes
was the permitting of apprentices to
do certain repair work formerly re-
stricted to journeymen in that craft.
Another change provided for repre-
senatiCn of minorities in the preSen-
tation Of grievances to meet the con-
tention Of the railroads that old nat
ional agreements practically forced a
closed shop on the railroad. 1t wi |

In ARBUCKLE
CASE ARE GOING ON TODAY

San Francisco. Dec Arguments
and possibly further testimony were
on the schedule for today's sessions
of the Roscoe Arbuckle manslaughter
case.
When the prosecution closed its re-
buttal testimony yesterday it reserved
the right to bring in a small amount
of additional testimony, if that
seemed desirable, as a final effort to
link the comedian with the death o
Virginia Rappe, after a party at the
hotel St. Francis last September.
None knew, except the district attor-
ney and his assistants, when court
opened, whether this evidence would
be forthcoming or exactly what it
would concern. 1t was agreed that
any testimony that might be intro
duced would be brief and that argu-
ments limited by stipulation to four
hours on each side, probably will be-
gin at the afternoon session.

COUGHING In THEATRES
TO BE BARRED In FRANCE

Paris, Dec. Paris actors have
decided to organize a campaign
against the theater cough. Coughs,
they said, have a habit foccuring at
dramatic moments of plays and spoil
ing the effect intended by the play
wrights. There is little excuse for
rs per cent of the theater coughs, ac-
cording to French specialists, who
say a moments concentration when
the cough is felt ODE coming on will
usually prevent it. There have been
instances of actors threatening to
stop performances due to coughing in
the audience.
