l4-INSTRlP OF
LAND SUIT BASIS
Jury Grants Injunction Against
Changing Line Between
Americas Neighbors

A dispute over the ownership of a
strip Of land one foot and two inches
wide and the depth of a city lot, oc-
cupied the time of the Superior
court for a full day this session,
ending yesterday shortly afternoon
when the jury returned a verdict.
The case was the application Of G.
E. Dunnaway, of sos Forrest street,
for an injunction against his next
door neighbor, Mrs. G. R. Winchester,
to sto pher from changing a line
fence separating them. The jury
granted the injunction. The dispute
arose when M rs. Winchester, who
bought her place couple of years
ago, recently measured her frontage
and found, according to her conten-
ton, that the fence dividing the lots
was located Ia inches inside her line.
She attempted to move the fence,
and in so doing dug post holes in the
narrow Dunnaway driveway. When
no agreement could be reached the
dispute went to court. 1t developed
that Mr.. Dunnaway had been in un-
disputed possession of the strip for
the seven years, this by law estab-
fishing the line as legal, regardless of
the terms of the deeds.
Ali yesterday afternoon and today
has been oecuried=in the hearing of
the case of the application to probate
the will of Mrs. Fannie L. Glover,
from ti'.e court of ordinary.
Judge Lit eJohn yesterday excus-
ed for the remainder Of the week
all jurors not serving in the Glover
case, which means that it will be the
last jury case to be tried this week.
Next week will be devited to crimi-
nal business.

discontinued, thus eliminating the
expense of maintaining unnecessary
men on the rolls. Other rules have
been changed to allow the use of
forces assigned to particular classes
of work on other work, when there
is 10 work of their particular class
to be performed.
Many of the rules are highly tech
meal in character. Much time was
spent on the rules regarding electrical
railroads, which at present apply only
to few roads like the Pennsylvania
ard New York Central but which
will become of increasing import
ance as The electrification Of the
steam lines proceeds.
The shop crafts employees involved
are the carmen, sheet metal workers,
machiniats, blacksmiths. boilermak-
ers and electrical workers.
!, The National Agreement, suppIant-
Aed today by the new rules, was enter-
ed into with the employees by the
United States Railroad Administra-
tion September 20,1919. From the
first it was strongly criticised by the
railroad management, and others be-
cause they eontended it imposed nn-
economic methods Of operation on
the cost of operation. The railroads
also complained that taey had no
voice in making the National Agree
ment which they declared was wish
ed ON them by the Railroad Admins
istration. The employees have main
tained that a very large part Of the
National Agreement had been put
into effect on various railroads, prior
to Federal Control by the voluntary
act of the managements, and that I'LL

NEW WORKING RULES FOR
RAIL SHOPMEN IN EFFECT
10000 Employees Effected By Labor Board
Decision Economy of $50000,000 Year
For Roads

CHICAGO, Dec. 1-(By Associat
ed Press,) New working rules for
100000 railroad shopmen, including
at least two important changes, were
handed down today by the United
States Railroad Labor Board. The
decision supplanted the agree -aent en-
tered into by the employees and the
United States railroad administra-
ton in September, 1919.
Economies in operation and in
creased efficiency, estimated to reach
$4,000 year, ard recognition of
the "open shop" on all American rail
roads were forecast today in the pro-
mitigation of revised working rules
governing railroad shop employees.
Far reaching changes in the rules
were designed to afford basis for
permanent stability in the railroad
shops of the country and were de-
clared by members Of the Labor
Board to be the most important work
yet done by the board and much
greater significance than any decision
in the past, even including wage scale
adjustments
Large economies are expected to
result from revision Of the classifi-
cation rules, which were made elastic,
and hereafter will permit members of
certain crafts to do minor jobs pre-
viously done by members of other
crafts. Statisticians attached to the
Labor Board estimated that, econo-
mics in operation, increased effieien-
.cy and Larger output, would approx
mate s5,o00,000 a year.
Provision for the representation Of
minorities who may have grievances
is another important item of the new
rules. Under the National Agree
ment, negotiation for employees was
placed almost wholly in the hands of
labor organizations, with the result
that the railroads and many indus
trial and civic institutions declared
that the agreement forced closed
union shop on the roads. Non-union
men. found it impracticable to attempt
to bring their grievances before the
board and as the rules worked out,
union officials handled the cases,
taking their precedent from the Ma
tional Agreement negotiations in
which union officials acted for the
employees in drawing up the agree
ment under federal control.
Open Shops Theoretical.
"The principle of the open shop
established by the new rules state
ment by board members said, twill in
fact, be more theoretical than prac-
tical at the present time. since a
large majority of the railroad shops
are unionized and the existing unions
are recognized by the board and by
the Transportation Act as represen-
tatiye of the majority.
"Most of the older working rules,
sanctioned by the experience OF
years, are preserved in full effect.
Many of the more rigid rules, how
ever, were considerably relaxed In fa-
vor of the roads, although the recog-
nized rights of the men are fully pro-

game was well played and hotly con-
