MEN
HOLD SESSIONS
State Association Members
Told They Should Know
Farm Practices.

That the dealer should be Informed as
to the best agricultural practice in order
that he may give the best possible service
TO the farmer, was set forth in his ad-
dress on Selling on a Service Basis" by
E. A. White Of the Farm implement News,
Chicago, at todays session at the Clay
pool Hotel OF the annual convention Of
the Indiana Implement Dealers Associa-
ton.
He continued by saying that unless
the dealer was able to make suggestions
based on such information he did not
see how the dealer can serve the farmer
efficiently. He explained that this In
formation should be used in the form
of suggestions he did not mean
that the dealer should be a so-called
busy body: and that the dealers
bulwark was the service he could render
the farmer in his community.
Professor Coleman Of Purdue Univer-
sity, who spoke on the subject Of How
the Implement Dealer Enters Into the
Farmers Success" also touched upon the
service that can thus be rendered the
farmer by the dealer He touched also
upon the value of the application of eco
nOmic principles to farming.
The program also included an address
by f. G. Weir OF Dowagiac. Mich, and
an address on Farm Machinery Mer-
chandising," by George n. Peck of Mo-
line. III.
At the closing session tomorrow, there
will be several addresses, the transaction
of miscellaneous business and the cleo
ton of officers.

OPEN SHOP is
RECOGNIZED IN
DECISION
New Ruling of Federal Labor
Board Saves Millions for
Railroads.
CHANGES ARE DRASTIC

CHICAGO. Dec. Drastic changes IN
the working rules governing 100000 rail
road shop employees went into effect to-
day
The changes in rules were ordered by
the United States Railroad Labor Board
after months Of public hearings and con-
sideration. Railroads who fought for the
changes on the grounds that old rules
We're Oppressive" and arbitrary VIII
be saved approximately S50,0OO,OOo a year
By the decree.
The new rules were designed by the
board to bring about greater economy
and efficiency in railroad shops.
The "open shop" principle was recog-
nized in the decision which promulgated
new working rules. Under the plan
minorities in railroad shops will be rep
resented On grievance committees
In the past union represen tatives repre-
sented all the men in the shops regardless
Of whether they were affiliated with the la
Dor organizations Pie board stated.
however, the open shop ruling was more
important theoretically than actually be
cause only a small percentage Of rail en-
ployes are unorganized.
The new rules provide that men as
signed to one type Of work may be put
to work on something else If there is
nothing to do in their particular class.
Another rule provides that machinists
making repairs on equipment may dis
connect wires and pipes. Under The old
agreements this work could be done only
by electricians and sheet metal workers.
Only the Federated Shop Crafts Of the
American Federation of Labor are af-
fected by the ruling.
The crafts who started TO work under
the new agreements are: Railway car
men, blacksmiths, drop forgers, sheet
metal workers. machinists, boilermakers
and electrical workers.
Bert NJ Jewell, president Of the rail-
road department Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, would not comment on
the drastic changes which are considered
a victory for the carriers until he had
carefully studied the text Of the ruling.
JEWELS union refused to Join the con
templated strike Of the brotherhoods
called for October. so, and later Cancelled.
At the time, II was announced the shop
men would wait until the rules and work
ing agreements were announced before
taking any strike action.
In hearings before the board, union
representatives resisted any changes in
rules on the grounds that they were the
backbone OF uniOnism.
The carriers, represented by ". W. At
terbUry, vice president Of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad. stated many OF the roads
would go bankrupt II the changes were
not ordered
