Commander MacNider's message

commander Of the Legion, and chair

vitation on behalf of the American
Legion to the Federation to hold it's

in October, 1922, in connection with
the fourth national convention of the

Commander MacNiders message
follows:
THE American Legion sends you
greetings with the earnest hope that
this meeting and the year ahead may
be filled with great achievements for
the cause of all ex-service men, for
the countries for which we fought
and for the civilized world.
'Our Union is sealed and the

tractual basis. Such action was not
permissible under the National
Agreement, by which the carrier was
bound until the recent new shop rules
were promulgated by the board, ac-
cording to the employees contention.
The road however, declares it is full
ly within it's right and says the ques-
ton cannot be made subject of dis
pute under the Transportation Act.
Nearly year ago, the Indiana Har-
Dor Belt Railway contracted with the
Burnham Car Company TO take over
and operate its repair tracks, the
railroad company retaining the car
inspectors under their supervision.
The shop crafts unions now bring OBJ
lection because wages were reduced
and some of the work placed on a
piece work basis. The unions also
claim that II men were dismissed as
a result Of the contract.
Coach cleaning on the Gulf Coast
Lines at Brownsville. Tex, was
placed on a contract basis April J.,
1921. to which the unions bring objec-
ton. They claim that the workers
employed by the contracting COM
pany are working ten to fourteen
hours for $50, less than half Of the
wage fixed for railroad employees by
the Labor Board.
Several cases will also be heard on
actions brought by the United Broth
erhood Of Maintenance of Way En-
ployes and Railroad Shop Laborers,
involving the Colorado & Southern,
the Indiana Harbor Belt Railway, the
st. Louis-San Francisco railroad, and
the Chicago. Milwaukee e. st. Paul.
bumpers at six pumping stations
have been displaced by section men
or station agents. who have taken
over the work at $12 and SIS month
The union claims that this action was
in violation of the National Agree
ment. The St. Louis-San Francisco
case also involves bumpers.
Fifty track laborers OF the Indiana
Harbor Belt were laid Off and the
work turned over to a Chicago con-
tracing firm. according to the speci-
fications of another case. The con-
tracing firm pays the men 80 cents
<Ah hSai, Inc cNpiosSS nay, dDuul Ten
cents less than the rate at which the
railroad hired its men.
The St. Paul dispute developed
over single employe at Montgomery,
Mimi, who had worked as a coal
passer at as cents an hour. and who
was displaced by a man who con-
tracted for the work at $l050 a year
The union asks that the former en-
ploye be reinstated and paid for all
time lost.
Two cases have been brought by
the American Federation of Railroad
workers and the International Broth
erhood of Firemen and Oilers. the
first over contracting Of track labor
on the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie at
Connellsville, Pa. and the other in
volving the contracting of unloading
coal at coal shutes on the Great
Northern Railroad.

Right of Roads to
Let Out Contracts
Before Board Today

Chicago, Dec. 1s-The right OF rail-
way companies to contract work to
firms or individuals removed from
the jurisdiction of the United States
Railroad Labor Board will come up
for federal investigation when dis
putes on nine railroads are heard be-
fore the board tomorrow. The con-
troversies involve car al locomotive
repair work, track and common la
Dor jobs.
The action in each case was
brought by employees organizations,
whose members formerly did the
work now being done by outside firms
under contract. In most cases. the
wages paid by the contracting Arms
are less than those specified for rail-
way employees, a situation which. the
unions contend, at once throws their
men out OF work and removes wage
and working regulations from the
Jurisdiction OF the Labor Board.
What is regarded as typical test
case is that of the Federated Shop
Crafts against the Erie Railroad,
which has leased its repair work on
cars and locomotives at Hornell, N.
T., to the Hornell Construction Com
pany. The shop unions contend that
wages have been arbitrarily reduced
by the construction company below
the scale set by the Labor Board.
The Shop Crafts have also brought
action against the Chicago Great
Western Railroad over the contract.

necessary to decide the game. The
