Still WraRg|ing In the
Norfolk & Western Case

Chicago. Jan. 4.-Requests for rules
covering yardmen riding on cars and
providing for filling switch tenders
jobs with disabled yardmen were the
principal points brought up at the AZ
ternoon session Of the Norfolk 6; West
ern Railroad hearing before the United
States Railway Labor Board today.
The rule regarding yardmen riding
on cars in hump yards was requested
as n safety measure. Road officials,
however, said that there had been Few
accidents and that they did not consider
rules "a necessary.
The brotherhood's submission OF q
rule to i'll all yard vacancies with pro-
notable men and TO employ up to 50
per cent of brotherhood men brought
out considerable argument from both
sides. The rule was asked to prevent
discrimination against white trainmen,
brotherhood officials said. The railroad
contended its right to employ whoever
they chose. An attempt to support the
road was made by the Association or
Colored Railroad Tra!nmen. but the
board ruled not to admit testimony Oh
III. associations representatives.
The case Of yardmen, called and not
used similar to that taken up yester-
day in the case of trainmen. also came
up The session Is expected to be COM
pletcd tomorrow.
