NEW WORKING RULES FOR
RAIL SEiOPMEN IN EFFECT
100000 Employees Effected By Labor Boarc
Decision-Economy Of $4,000, 600 Year
For Roads

jtected and the principle Of collective
bargaining and union recognition is
Retained, as contemplated by the
Transportation"
The rules controversy dates back
to May 1, 1920, when the railroads
emerged from government control
Strenuous objections to the National
lAgreemept were made in hearing
which began January 10, 1921. Aft.
Ter several mcnths Of testimony, the
rules were referred back to the in
dividual roads with instructions to ne
gotiate such new rules as they could
with their employees to replace the
federal government rules.
Numerous rules were thus agreed
upon on individual roads, but on NO
road was it possible to draft the en-
tire new set. The rules disagreed
upon were then sent back to the La
Dor Board, and the rules promulgated
today viii replace any such rules
mot agreed upon by the roads and
their employees. In any case where
rule has been agreed upon by the
carrier and it's employees, that rule
governs, even though the Labor Board
rule may be entirely different.
The majority of the changes ef-
fected by the new rules is in the
classification of the work to be per
! formed by the various crafts. Al
most without exception these classi-
fications are made more elastic. I'm
der previous agreements with the
shop crafts, including the Nationa
Agreement, it has been the custom
to define in detail the various types
of working belonging to each craft
The carriers have complained that
the National AgrGsmsnt set up il
such inmate detail the classification
of duties that work not requiring spe
cialized skill in any craft was assign
ed exclusively to particular craft
For example work not requiring ;
mechanics skin was assigned to ;
skilled mechanic, thus making ELL
|cient and economical operation impos
sible, according to the railroads.
Broader Scope Of Work.
The rules effective today broader
the scope Of each crafts work. The
machinist working on running repairs
may connect or discoanect any wir'
ling, couplig or pipe connections
necessary to repair machinery OF
| equipment This work was previous
lily assigned to electricians and sheet
metal workers only.
Under the new rules, engineers
| firemen and cranesmen are not pro
lhibited from making such repairs to
equipment on the lines of the road
as they are qualified to perform. The
new rules thus allow train operatives

l4-IN. STRIP OF
LANDSUI'r BASIS
Jury Grants Injunction Against
Changing Line Between
Americus Neighbors

A dispute over the ownership Of
strip Of land one foot and two inches
wide and the depth of a city lot, oc-
eupied the time Of the Superior
court for a full day this session,
ending yesterday shortly afternoon
when the jury returned a verdict.
The case was the application Of g.
E. Dunnaway, Of sos Forrest street,
for an injunction against his next
door neighbor, Mrs. G. r. Winchester,
to stop her from changing line
fence separating them The jury
granted the injunction. The dispute
arose when Mrs Winchester, who
bought her place couple of years
ago, recently measured her frontage
and found, according to her conten-
ton, that the fence dividing the lots
was located Ia inches inside her line.
She attempted to move the fence
and in so doing dug post holes in the
narrow Dunnaway driveway. When
no agreement could be reached the
dispute went to court. 1t developed
that Mr.. Dunnaway had been in un-
disputed possession of the strip for
the seven years, this by law estab-
fishing the line as legal, regardless Of
the terms of the deeds.
All yesterday afternoon and today
has been occupied IN the hearing Of
the case Of the application to probate
the will Of Mrs Fannie Il. Glover
appealed from TIE court Of ordinary.
Judge Lit aJuhn yesterday excus-
ed for the remainder of the week
all jurors not serving in the Glover
cage, which means that it will be the
last jury case to be tried this week.
Next week viii be devited to crimi-
nal business.
