RAIL STRIKE IS

tation Unions

vice unions voted tonight TO can ~,
the strike order for next SUNDAY
morning. The necessary Instructors
will be wired tomorrow from tne
headouarters of the several unions
in Buffalo and Cleveland.
The decision to annul the strike
order is based upon the menloran,
dunn of the Railroad Labor Board
Yesterday, in which the board de-
clares that, while it could not un-
dcrtake to limit the right of either
carriers or employees to ask 1t Tor
permission to make cnangeS,, II
could decide the order in whlch II
would take up cases and that II haa
decided not to consider wage cuts
untiS working rules and conditions
are disposed of.
This, in effect, guarantees the
unions against any further reduc-
tions in wages until well into next
vear-ard, as the working rules 1or,
the shop crafts have yet to be passed
on. almost as long a delay IS PROB
able on these.
These include the rule requiring
time and one half pay for work IN
excess of eight hours. one Of the
main things for which the several
unions have contended.
With this is the guarantee Of the
Railway Executives Association
made at Yesterdays hearing before
the board by Thomas Dewitt Cuyler,
that the roads will not attempt to
nut either cuts or changes in sched-
ulcs and rules into effect without
first seeking an agreement with
their men and, filing that, the ap-
proval of the board to any changes
This. too. settles point that the
men were contcnding for. all OF the
Big Four" chiefs and the head OF
the Switchmcn's Union. allied with
them having accused the roads OF
intending to wipe out the schedules
and rules. According to them, the
belief that these rules and schedules
would be ruthlessly attacked were
a compelling factor behind the strike
vote.
On the other hand, the roads,
which through Mr.. Cuyler have de-
clared their intention to press 1of
further reductions in labor costs
through direct cuts and through re-
vision of such rules, remain free to
make their plans and file as many
requests as they may wish.
To do this, however, they must
first seek to make an agreement di-
rect with the men in line with the
rule laid down in the Erie case of
last spring, where that system at

board by reducing wages first and
compelling the men to appeal to the
board for relief. In that case. under
orders from the board, the cut was
rescinded.
