rate paid for the same class of work

this program. the disputed cases will be
filed Immediately with the Railway La
bor Board.
In commenting on tho probable
time this operation will occupy, l.. f.
Loree, Chairman of the Eastern Ex-
ocutives' Conference, said yesterday
that the Labor Board should be ready
in sixty days TO study the cases.
There are only a few items of rules

is no reason why tho board cannot
clear its docket in sixty days for the
consideration Of the new wage reduc-
