Decision Entirely Unexpected.
The announcement, which said thai
prevailing conditions justify to some
extent, yet to be determined, read

tirely unexpected and came only few
hours after the close of the hearings
which have been in progress since

classes Of railway employees approx
mately 2l per cent or about 100000,
600 a year. Several months ago sew
eral roads announced that they couit
no longer operate under this wage
award and announced reductions aver
aging about 20. per cent in the pay o
unskilled employees. The workers ap
pealed to the board which decided TIA
the roads could not make summary re
auctions but must first hold confer
euces with their men and then. II nj
agreement could be reached, submit thu
case to the board for decision.
Ninety-eight Cases Appealed.
Practically every large road in tn
country then held conferences Will
it's unskilled employees regarding re
auctions and, when the employees re
fused to accept cuts, carried the cas-
to the board. Ninety-eight cases il
all were thus appealed .and the boar
finally decided to hear them as uni
instead of separately.
The announcement that the board fel
that prevailing conditions justified
revision downward in wages, was tn
first indication of its attitude on tn
wage question.
