Especially in Reducing
Wages Of Employees and in
Failure to Cancel Cuts
WHEN ORDERED TO
BY LABOR BOARD
Federal Board To-day
Ruled Against the Erie
in Six Respects

Chicago, March THE railway la
Dor board to-day ruled that the Erie
railroad had violated previous board
rulings in six respects, particularly in
reducing wages OF employees and in
failing to cancel these reductions when
ordered to do so by the hoard. The
road had contended that the board
must hold hearing before ordering re-
storation of previous rates of pay
The Erie had, ordered % per cent
cut in unskilled labor pay effective Feb.
order 20 restore the rates of the July,
|, and subsequently ignored the board 5

When the case came before the board
on Feb. %, the employees charged ylo-
lation of the transportation act in set
ting aside the provisions of the board s
wage award applying to common la
bor Erie representatives admitted
that a reduction had been mdhle and
was still in effect They denied, how,
ever. that the road had violated the
transportation act.
Business depression, reduced cost OF
living and revenues below operating
expenses were given by the road as
the reasons for the reduction order.
The road maintained its right to hire
common labor al the prevailing local
rates. declaring this class of workers
was governed by the law of supply and
demand
Many eastern lines already have an.
nounced conferences on the question
Of maintenance of way wage reduc-

HOUSE on so. MAIN ST.
ENDANGERED BY FIRE
Flames Had Probably Smouldered All
Day, Breaking Out in Evening
Damage About $500.

Fire. which evidently had its origin
about the kitchen stoyepipe and chm
ney, might have DESTROYED the home OF
Mrs. S. j. Kelsey at 1875 South Nam
street Saturday evening but for the
perception of w. G. Pirie, a neighbor,
who, in passing the home, noticed
smoke pouring from the roof and chin
nev of the home. A few moments later
the roof was ablaze, but the quick re-
sponse of the fire department to first
alarm, a telephone cell sent in by Mrs.
Pirie, permitted the use OF contents OF
the chemical tank of squad A truck IN
time to prevent destruction 2t the
home. Mr.. Pirie had first notified his
wife TO warn the department and then
stepped to tirebox to ring general
alarm.
Meanwhile Vanceton Bates of South
Barre, who happened by and Mrs Pirle
endeavored to gain entrance 70 the
house to reach the source of the tire.
MIR. Bates was compelled to force open
a door, thus enabling the tiremen, who
arrived Immediately after, to make an
attack upon the flames without delay,
A line of hose WAS connected TO the
nearest hydrant and directed both upon
the interior and exterior OF the home,
tie fire having gained good hold on
the woodwork OF the second floor, where
the fire originated about the chimney,
and in the roof. 1t started to climb
along the roof and spread between the
floor and ceiling Of the first story, and
axes and chemical tanks were used for
precaution. j,
Mrs. Kelsey, owner of the home had
been absent from the house since ,
o'clock in the afternoon and upon re-
turning about O'Clock from shopping
was much surprised to learn that the
department was engaged at her home,
rs no fire had been kept in the stove
leading TO the chimney since 9 O'Clock
in the morning.
Chief Heney, after examining thor
oughlv, was satisfied that the blaze
originated from a hot stovepipe in the
morning and had gradually spread into
a flame by nightfall. Discovery OF the
fire might have been made had the
rooms on the second floor been oceu-
pied bv anyone, or visited during the
dav The loss was roughly estimated by
the chief at $500, this being covered by
insurance with g. Herbert Pape.
