WAGE DEMANDS ON
SHORT LINES ARE
TURNED DOW N

Chicago, March 2S.-The United
States Railroad Labor Board today
dismissed appeals for increased wages
filed with it last fall by fifteen rail
way labor unions against sixty-seven
"shortlines" throughout the country.
The boards decision affects approx
imately four thousand employees. The
railroads involved are in general re-
mote from large cities and provide
service for small communities located
in nearly every state. Because of the
varying conditions of work performed
by the employees the board declared
it found it Impractical to decide on
the evidence submitted what are reas.
onable wages for the varying work
by the employees.
The decision points out that there
are under consideration by the board
several hundred grievances when
should be determined by the boards OF
adjustments if such boards were in
existence. 1t also pointed out the di-
verse kinds of work done by the EN-
ployes was unclassified and therefore
that it actually was impossible to ovr.
estimate the need for standardiza-
ton of rules upon which to base a
wage award. A general rules and
working hearing. affecting the trunk
lines of the country is before the
board. No set of rules, however, has
ever been applied uniformly to the
short lines. The board declared II
was "impracticable to determine what
reasonable rules shall be in effect on
the short lines until the question oi
reasonable rules and working condi
tions on the, standard railroads has
been disposed Of" I'D
