TEN-ROuR DAY ESTABLISHED BY
LABOR BOARD FOR MAINTENANCE
OF Way WORKERS ON RAIL ROADS
Overtime Will Not Be Paid After Eight
Hours, in New Rules Announced to Replace
the National Agreement; Many Millions of
Dollars Cut From Carriers Pay Rolls.

ular time begins will still draw
time and one-half.
Employees called OFF their regular
assignments and travelling In COM
pany cars under the new rules get
only straight time for eight hours
day. including Sundays and holi-
days.
Straight time will be allowed en-
ployes travelling in other than out
fit cars for work hours only, re-
ceiving half time for other hours,
instead of full time. Men who
work through meal time hereafter
will be paid straight time instead
of time and one-half, being allowed
twenty minutes extra with pay to
eat their lunches at the first op-
portunity.
All arbitrary rules fixing the be-
ginning and ending of the regular
work day are eliminated, these
hours to be fixed by agreement be-
tween local officials and the men.
The board has now completed
consideration OF rules covering ap-
proximately one million railroad
employees.
Characterizing the new MAIN
tenance of way rules as mere re-
visions to eliminate many Of the
onerous effects of the national
agreement, S. M. FELTON,, president
of the Chicago Great Western rail-
road and chairman OF the western
committee on public relations of
the Association of Railway EXecu-
tives, asserted in statement to-
night that the benefit that may
or may not ensue from their APP
plication is mere guess work until
they have been tried out.

Chicago, Dec. 13 (by the Anso-
ciated Press) .-Slashing extra pay
provisions for the first two hours
of overtime after the regular eight
hour days work from rules gov
erning railway maintenance of way
employees. the railroad labor board
has set up a schedule of ten hours
day at the regular hourly wage
for common laporers. In new rules
announced tonight to replace the
national agreement. ..--
The principle of "eight consecu-
tive hours shall constitute days
work" is retained, however, and
time and one-half pay is granted
after ten hours work.
The new provisions make pos
sible a ten-hour day without pen
alizing the railroads. which were
compelled under the federal agree
ment to pay time and one-half
after eight hours.
The rules become effective De-
cember 16, one year after the
agreement was maze between the
railroad administration and the
United Brotherhood of Mainte-
nance of Way Employees and Rail-
road Shop Laborers. They apply
on all railroads where agreement
has not already been reached on
new rules.
Many rules had been agreed on
by a majority Of roads and, in
such cases the federal counterparts
were remanded to roads not reach
ing an agreement. for further con-
sideration. These included rules
on seniority, promotion and special
service, where local conditions were
held to govern. Wage schedules
were eliminated as part of the
rules agreement.
Removal of the two hours over
time penalty was declared by labor
board attaches to cut many mil
lions of dollars from the carriers
annual pay rolls.
The old national agreement rec
ognized the ten-hour day in extra
or floating gangs of workmen
whose employment is temporary
and seasonal, Regular gangs. how
ever, were paid overtime after
eight hours.
Under the new rules the number
OF hours work per day may be re-
duced by mutual agreement to-
avoid reducing forces. The roads
were formerly compelled to pay
eight hours wages a day for each1
man employed. Regular assign
ment of Sunday and holiday work
no longer draws time and a half
pay. When called for less than
days work. however, employees Will
be paid three hours straight time

CHINESE STATES
Difficulties Believed to Have
Been Encountered at Con-
ference Between the laps
and Chinese.

Washington Dec. 13 (by the AS
sociated Press )--Some difficulties
are believed to have been encount-
cred today at the conference be-
tween Chinese and Japanese dele
gates concerning restoration to
China Of the Kiao Chow Tsinanfu
railway, the most important OF the
subjects being considered in the
attempts to settle the Shantung
CONTROVERSY.
ThessGhinese delegates left the
conference room in an apparent at
titude of detection, one saying:
I'VE did not make the progress
we should, and do net understand
the japanese position
1t is believed that the crux of the
difficulty revolves about the ques-
ion of security that China would be
able to give In carrying out her Of
fer to purchase the railway and its
adjacent mines. Japan's position is
said to be that she is ready to listen
to any plan Of Chinese payment,
but is anxious to determine the
kind of security China would be
willing to propose.
1t is pointed out that the valua-
tion of the railroad and mines made
during the Paris peace conference
are about $15.000,000 gold. Ac-
cording to the Japanese viewpoint,
this does not include expenditures
by Japan in the way of improve
ments.

to Purely Domestic QueS-
tons and to the American
Mandate Policy.
AFFIX SIGNATURES
WITHOUT CEREMONY
Copy Of Agreement Goes to
President Harding, Who
viii Submit 1t to the
Senate for\ Ratification.

Washington, Dec. 13 (by the eAs-

Britain, japan and France.
The reservation, presented in
writing by the American repre-
sentatives and accepted by all the
others. declares that the American
attitude toward Pacific mandates
shall not be affected by the treaty,
and that the treaty provision for
a four-power consultation on ques-
tions arising over the Pacific is
lands shall not be construed as ap-
plying to any problems which. in
international law. are only Of do
mestic concern.
No formal ceremony accompan-
led the affixing of seals and sigma
lures. The signing took place in
the ante-room of the office of the
secretary of state. before a large
company of American and foreign
officials, advisers and clerks. There
was no speech making and repre-
sentatives Of the press were not ad-
mitted.
May Delay Submission.
The American copy goes to Pres

lay its submission until the arms
conference is nearer a decision on
the other important points.
The text Of the American reser-
walton follows:
In signing the treaty this day
between the United States OF
America, the British empire,
France and Japan, II Is de-
clared to be the understanding
and intent of the signatory
powers:
"1-That the treaty shall APP
ply to the inundated islands in
the Pacific oceali; provided,
however, that the making of
the treaty shall not be deemed
to be an assent on the part OF
the United States of America
to the mandates and shall not
preclude agreements between
the United States of America
and the mandatory powers re-
spectively in relation to the
inundated islands.
THAT the controversies to
which the second paragraph of 1
Article I one refers shall not
be taken to embrace questions
which, according to principles
of International law lie exclu-
sively within the domestic jur-
isdiction OF the respective
powers"

Special Correspondence TO The Journai.)
Santa Fe, n NJ, Dec. 13.-As-
sistant Attorney General A. NJ.
Edwards today advised State
Treasurer Strong to keep posses-
sion of the $2S0.0O0 notes and
mortgages, furnished him by the
Santa Fe bank as security for state
deposits until further advised by
him or directed by the district
court. Previously State Bank Ex-
aminer Reid asked Edwards n
the $2SO,000 collateral should not
be turned over to him to be pooled
with the rest OF the banks assets
and made subject to distribution
among the depositors in the event
the bank could not be reopened.
Edwards said he would give
written opinion and hesitated 70
give an offhand expression but in
the meantime advised Strong to
hold the notes and mortgages.
Strong also had other security
of $4,000 surety and 100000
personal bond by the bank direc-
tors, but, without the notes and
mortga ges, these do not cover tho
state deposits. Governor Mechem
and Edwards held the view, how
ever that the United States FL
deity and Guaranty company
which furnished Strong's $2,097,-
600 bond to the state, was respon-
sible to the state for deposits In
excess of the legal limit. They
said the state was amply pro-
tected.
The governor said the state
finance board, made up OF
himself. the auditor and treas
Crcr, had not directed the de-
posit of the state funds in the
Santa Fe bank. In fact, he
said, tho board had not desig-
mated any repositories since
he came into office. 1t was
feared, he explained, tho un-
dcrtaking would prove highly
dangerous. The governor said
the bank could have been
closed any time during the
last year and strong said any
heavy withdrawal by him in
the Inst few months would
have prccipitntcd the closing.
