RAIL BOARD To
FIX wage FIRST
Members Declared Inclined
to Let Dispute Over Ma
tional Rules Wait
N. Y. G. DECISION
COMES THIS WEEK

CHICAGO. April 6.-Twenty- six
railroads have submitted wage dis
putes TO the Railroad Labor Board
within the last month. It was re-
vealed yesterday. This action by
railroad managements followed con-
ferences between rail officers and
employees on proposed wage reduc-
tions, as required under the Trans
portation Act
At least half OF the roads submit
ting disputes are large lines, and
carriers operating in every section
of the country are represented. All
Of, the roads asked the boards au-
thorization to reduce the wages Of
unskllled or common labor, and sew
eral roads also asked reductions for
various classes of skilled labor.
A decision on the New York Cen
trails request for a wage cut for
common labor. to take effect i'm
mediately. is expected this week.
The board has had this matter un-
der consideration since March 80,
when the road asked reduction of
approximately 25 per cent. to be eff
fective April /.
Indication that the board might
allow the wage reduction requests
to take precedence over all other
matters before il was given in the
statement of board members today
that the New York Central case
would receive immediate attention
and disposition.
THE matter OF wages is now much
more important than the question OF
rules" G. W. w. Hanger, public
member of the board, said today.
This rules hearing has been toddling
along 10 months. and il is still a
question as to how much effect the
rules have on wages. The board
is inclined to take up this wage mat
ter for immediate settlement and
work out the rules question as II has
time"
Cross s-examination OF two railroad
presidents was completed before the
Railroad Labor Board today in the
general rules hearing by which the
employees seek continuation of the
national agreements.
w G. Besler. president OF the Cen
tral Railroad Of New Jersey. and II
e. Byram, head Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, were on the
stand yesterday and today. Ques-
toned by Frank =. Walsh, Union
counsel, both agreed that some rules
were necessary II properly applied
and both declared that rules nego.
tlated by the individual roads with
their own employees were desirable

Is TT WEBSTER?

Webster, like Brewster, Sangster
and other names ending in ster is an
occupational surname, but they are
unusual in their formations. Our
Webster came from the Anglo-Saxon
word webbestre, applied first to a
woman weaver. "Stre" was the usual
feminine termination. In those
early days brewing, weaving and
certain other occupations were car
ried on almost entirely by women,
so when speaking of those thus en-
ployed it became usual to employ the
feminine form.
In a later day when brewing and
weaving were occupations carried on
by men more frequently than women
they naturally employed the form
that they had long associated with
the trade was retained. Men weav-
ers were often called Websters and
men brewers were known as brew
sters.
Thus we get our surnames in ster.
