Action at Chicago District

CHlCAGO, MdTCn ll.-otepS "
bring about reductions in wages OF
skilled employees probably will be
taken by many railroads as soon as
adjustments can be made in the pay
of unskilled workers, according to
officials of the Association of Rail-
way Executives.
Such reductions, if made, will be
handled individually by the various
roads in the same manner that pres
ent announcements of cuts for un-
skilled workers now are being made
it was said. with no attempt at con-
certed or simultaneous action by the
railroads.
In line with this policy, however.
it became known that the assoc.a-
ton had a meeting in New Haven
March 4, adopted a resolution that
it was the sense CT the meeting that
reductions in the pay of skilled en-
pIoyes were not considered obJec-
tioaabie by the executives.
The matter was then referred to
individual roads. fOfficials today
predicted that announcement of re-
adjustment of wage scales of skilled
men similar to the one made few
days ago by the Pennsylvania lines
soon would be forthcoming.
Belief that the proposal OF the
Penn road to confer individually
with the various crafts over new
wage scale might not be in accord
ance with the spirit of the trans
portation act was expressed by
labor officers. They said that one
conference must be called covering
all craft.
No word had been given out by
the labor board concerning request
of the unions that a group of rail-
way executives be subpoenaed for
cross questioning. Frank p. Walsh.
attorney for the Brotherhood and
various labor leaders. were gather
ing here for the session Monday,
when a reply to the request for
subpoenaes is expected.
