UNITED STATES RAILROAD La
Dor BOARD MAKES PUBLIC
A DRASTIC DECISION.
EVERY LARGE ROAD INCLUDED
The Rates Of Reduction for Several
Glasses of Employees Were Added
to This Latest Order Of Board.

Chicago.-The United States Rail
road Labor Board has extended its
wage reduction order effective July l,
to nearly every large railroad in the
country. No change from the average
twelve per cent reduction granted 1O4
carriers on June l was made by this
decision The boards order covered
21O roads.
The reduction order involved nearly
all classes of employees on virtually
every railroad known as class one
carrier not included in the original
reduction order. The class one group
includes every big road in the coun-
try.
All classes of employees have been
named in the submission of some of
the roads. The wage cut, however,
applies only to those employees of a
given road which we're named in that
roads submission.
Rates of reduction for several minor
classes of employees were added to the
order, which was issued as an adden-
dunn to decision LAT, the original wage
reduction order. Chefs and other res
taurant workers. dining car employees,
laundry workers and porters were
named in the added sections Of the
decision.

600 900 road Improvement bonds last
April for Mecklenburg county, in ad-

made on State highways running into
the city. sentiment in favor of good
roads has shown marked increase in
the county.
While there were opponents to the
bond issue before the election, the
county highway commission is now
besieged almost daily with requests
for new or improved roads, and when
the expected 100000 is in hand,
the impetus towards standard paved
roads through the county, it is believ-
ed, will be so strengthened that the
building of new roads will be sought
In every corner of the county.
