WORKERS IN ORGANIZED SHOPS WILL NEVER AND NEED NOT ACCEPT TT UNI DER RULING.

The United States Railroad Labor Board has handed down decisions on working rules, among them being rule I, governing hours of labor. In the haste consequent upon the late date at which this news was received the boards decision affecting this rule was wrongly interpreted as es- tablishing piecework on such roads as desired to restore that system.
 A careful reading of the rule as written by the board shows the con trary obe true. The Labor Board has not re-established piecework. This plan can not be rcinstated on any railroad without the consent of the organized shop employees on that particular system. In effect, rule I, as written by the board, retains in. force the hourly basis of wage pay mcnts. The decision merely advises the roads that they may, ii they so desire, appeal to the shop crafts ac- cording to the terms of the. trans portation act to accept piecework. he power of decision is withheld from the roads and still tests with the unions. Failure of the carrier and it's employees to reach an agreement will shift the responsibility to the Labor Board.
 Jew Rule of Labor Board
 The new rule reads as follows: Eight hours shall constitute a day's work All employees coming under the provisions of this agreement, ex- cept as provided in this schedule of rules, or as may hereafter be legally established between the carrier and the employees, shall be paid on the hourly basis"
 Except for the part printed in black face type, this rule Is practically iden- tical with that in the national agree ment which prohibited piecework. tation on this clause as follows:
 This rule is intended to remove the inhibition against piecework con tained in rule I of the shop crafts na- tional agreement and to permit the question to be taken up for negotia- tion on any individual road in the manner prescribed by the transpor- tatlOn act"
 The most important fact about this decision is the evidence that with all the pressure brought to bear upon 1t to re-establish piecework the facts presented by the shop crafts were so strong a refutation of the position taken by the management that the Railroad Labor Board did not care to go on record as re-establishing piccework. It evaded the issue. The board simply passed the issue back to the parties who had formerly dis agreed.
 Issue Will Return to Board According to the boards own inter prctation the addendum to decision No. 222 means that a carrier system may now call the chosen representa- tives of the shop crafts info confer encc to determine whether piece work shall be restored. These nego- tiations must be conducted according to Section 3oI of the transportation act. Under it's provisions disagree ment will bring the matter back to the board as a dispute.
 There is no doubt that piecework will again go before the labor board as a dispute from every railroad in the country. In the course of the remarkable hearings before the board in August, representatives of the enl- ploeys from all parts of the country

TAX ON SPORTING
 GOODS IS DROPPED
Senate Revises Revenue Bill by Knocking Off Some House
 PetS

Washington, Nov. 4.-After spend ing the day discussing the soldiers bonus, the Senate this week proceed ed with the tax revision bill with. un- usual cclerity, voting to retain $75,- 100000 of taxes on corporations which had been proposed for repeal, and looping off number of the ex- else lcvics now in force
 The first important action was the adoption of an amendment proposing a graduated corporation capital stock tax at rates of $I on each $I ,ooO of stock between $5,ooo and $3,ooo, ,ooo and $2 per $I,OoO on all over $3,ooo,- 900. Holding companies in paying this tax would be credited with the amount of the same tax paid by their subsidiaries.
 Rcconsidering the former action approving the present per cent. tax on pianos and other musical instru- ments, the Senate without a rollcall and little opposition adopted an sen, republican, New Jersey, repeal- ing this tax.
 The section proposing a 5 per cent eliminated, compromise amendment striking out this section being adopted 3I to 30.
 The Senate got stuck for time on the chewing gum section, but it final ly voted, 35 to A, to repeal this tax, the existing rate of which is 5 per cent, and that proposed in the bill per cent.
 The Senate rejected an amendment by Senator Wadsworth, republican, New York, to repeal the 10 per cent tax on cameras weighing less than 100 pounds and on lenses for such cameras. It then rejected motion by the same senator to reduce the tax from 10 to 5 per cent.

SPORT NOTES

Veteran Jack Miller, now with the Phillies, allows himself to be quoted as saying that the St. Louis Cardinals were so much the better team in the National league that they should have won the pennant this year with I5 or 20 games to spare. Miller knows the Cardinals pretty well, too, their strength and handicaps, for he was with them once and many thought he should have been made the manager of the team when Miller Huggins and Branch Hickey elected to part.
 The chances are that Glenn Warner will use Herb Stein as defensive cen ter in future Pittsburgh games, shift ing him to end offense. Stein is with out doubt one of the best men in the country backing up the line, and War ner wants him for this in the all inn portant games to come with NebraS- ka, Washington and Jefferson; Syra- cusc, Penn and Penn State. Bowser between center and that position.
 Joe Lynch, former bantam cham pion, was matched to box with Artie Edwards, an English bantam, at the Greensboro Sporting Club, Long Is- land City, last week The fact that Lynch was to box was not much of an attraction, as less than 100 persons gathered in the clubhouse Before the opening bout was put on tl< an nouncer, under instructions of the Boxing Commission, notified the spectators that the bout would not be permitted The reason assigned was that the match was a unsided one, Richards being outclasscd by Lynch. The club managers tried to get Lynch enter received their money back and the entire entertainment was called off.
