ASKS RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
PERMISSION TO REDUCE WAGES

with employees early this month had
failed to reach an agreement on any
wage reductions. The case is the
first one brought by a carrier and is
regarded in railroad circles as THE
first move on the pat of the trunk
lines to cut their payrolls.
The railroad appeared prepared to
submit extensive data on wages in
other similar industries and on the
cost of living but the board decided
to confine the present case to the
question of immediate reduction.
Railroad representatives then pre-
sented a mass of statistics showing
the rates paid for similar labor in
other industries and the case was con-
cluded, with a decision expected by
the end of the week.
