EMPLOYING PRINTERS DECIDE ON NJ LESS
 THAN 48-HOUR WEEK

At tcorference in Phoenix yester- day. attended by representatives from practically all the commercial job printing shops in Arizona d resolution was unanimously adopted, every one voting, declaring their disa pproval of movement for anything less than 4S-hour week.
 Following is the resolution adoptee:
 We, the undcrsiqned employing
 printers and publishers, having
 thoroughly and carefully conId
 cred the proposition of changing
 from 43 to A hour week in
 the various departments of our
 plants, as demanded by the differ
 ent printing trade unions. do here
 by declare our disapprovaI of such
 change. as serious economic
 mistake which would increase
 printing costs at time when
 every other industry in the country
 is being asked and is expected to
 reduce costs: and that wc are un- alterabIy opposed to any reduction in the hours of tabor at present
 existing and we agree that we will not mako any contract or agree
 rnent for anything less than 4S- hour week; and that no contract shall be made or entered into with any printing trade union until it has been approved by the execu-
 tive committee of the employing printers"
 | Several of the employing printers o1 the state who could not attend the conference yesterday wired theil agreement to stand solidly for nothing less than a 4S-hour week. Severa other of the larger shops which coule not attend also wired that they would stand by the action of the conference. The conference in this city yesterda, i followed the action of rhe interna tional unions of all the allied printing crafts in attempting to force a 44-hou week on May 1. After a thorough con sideration of the matter it was de cided that a 4S-hour week would b. 1 neither a physical unfairness nor un reasonable at this time when the gen eral public is demanding lowering o all prices and a speeding up instead o a reduction in production.
 This action of the Arizona employini Iprinters is in conformity with the ac ton taken by a majority of the em ploying printers of the country.
 It is understood that the small one lman shops usually owned by a unio tcard man will, of course, agree to '44-hour week, but with only one or fw

RAILROADS
LOSE CLAIMS
Allownces For Depreciation
Of Labor Under u. S.
Control Denied
I.C. c. RULES ON
ROAD CONTRACT

WASHINGTON. Aug. S-cost Of
labor allowances to railroads for
the six-month guarantee period. fol-
lowing Government control. viii in
volve only increased wages and not
alleged ineficiency Of labor factors,
under a decision handed down by
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion.
Under the ruling the carriers must
stand any loss incidental to alleged
unwilingness or inability OF labor TO
perform during the guarantee period
Of private control as much as be-
fore the war. The question involves
the basis OF claims by the railroads
against the Government for labor
costs in operation and maintenance.
Claims founded upon alleged inef-
fectiveness of labor during the
period amount to some ten OF mil
lions Of dollars" the decision said.
The controversy centered on the
meaning OF the words "oost Of
labor as they we're used in the
standard contracts between the
government and the railroads at the
time the roads were taken over dur
Ing the war. The Director-General
OF the Railroads contended that the
contract intended to guarantee the
rates Of pay per unit for railroad
labor. while She carriers argued that
the labor should be computed in
terms Of the accomplishment of q
given result. and hence the words in
cluded in their meaning quality as
we'll as wages OF labor.
The contract language under dis
pute follows:
During the period of Federal
control the Director General shall
annually. as nearly as practicable. ex-
pend and charge to railway operat-
ing expenses, either in payments for
labor and materials or by paying
into funds, such sums for the main
tenance. repair. renewal, retirement
and depreciation of the property as
may be requisite in order that such
property may be returned 10 the

troll in substantially as good repair
and in substantially as complete

open the door 70 a comparison o.
the quality or efficiency OF labor. Tt
hold otherwise would be contrary t'
the plain extent OF the proviso. 10
II is impossible, by resort TO the ac
counts Of the carriers to determine
the relative efficiency OF labor at va
rious periods. and the introduction
OF this indefinite and intangible fac
to- would have relegated the 'ac
cotnting' test to the very limbo o
controversy and conflict OF opinio
which 1t was designed TO avoid.
