APPLY TO FIRST
CLASS RAILROADS

CHICAGO. Nov. 1s-The United
States Railroad Labor Board an
nounced last night that new working
rules for the six shop crafts probably
VIII be completed and issued in time
to become effective December /.
Issuance OF the rules. under a re-
cent decision OF the board paves the
way for consideration OF requests
which may be filed by the roads for
revision OF the shop crafts wage
schedules.
Tho new shop craft rules will ef-
feet approximately 100000 men Of
an class on railroads in tho country.
Only "a railroads are directly con-
cerned in the present case. the others
not having their submissions in
proper shape when the case was
taken up, but board members anti
cipate that all the class on railroads

without further hearings.
The boards statement issued last
night said:
such satisfactory progress dur
ing the past week has been made in
The consideration of rules and work
ing conditions for the six shop crafts.
that Il is altogether probable that
these rules will be completed. and
p will become effective Deem Der L."
The board members said that
the new rules have been practi-
caily completed in less than five
months. while the national agree
ment which they supersede. required
the attention OF railway, government
and labor representatives and OK
perts for seven months before Il was
completed.
The labor boards work on the
rules was Interrupted by the threat
ened railroad strike which was
averted October %. A few days
previously the board had announced
that no further wage reductions for
any class of employees would be con-
sidered by the board until working
rules and agreements in dispute for
that class Of employees had httr
passed on.

and statisticians have prepared mos.
OF the cases for presentation.
The national agreement which tho
new rules will displace. was first
brought before the railroad admin
istration in January, 1919. Il was
submitted 10 a committee OF 2S men,
IA representing the employees and
IA the roads. This committee con-
sidered the rules for four months
after which the findings were re-
viewed by the national board on rail-
way wages and working conditions.

Agreements before the labor hoard
were taken April 16. 1920 after tho
railroads and their employees had
finished preliminary negotiations
both as to wages and rules and work
ing conditions without reaching any

decision by ordering further con-
ferences between employees and tho
