the awarding of contracts for carry

that its vessels have equal footing

sionally by deep cough as she un-

there were due to this fact.

lne SnOp crafts unions are fully rec
ognized in the boards decision, although
non-union men were declared to have
full and equal rights In form ballot
drafted for use in the new election,
employees are to be given their choice
of representation by the Pennsylvania
system federation, affiliated with the
railway employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, the
Workers, or by any other organization
or individual for whom a majority vote
is cast.
Not Fair or Legal.
The labor board refused to be drawn
into discussion Of the open shop, for
which the Pennsylvania has openly
contended. 1t was on this principle
that the railroads refused recently to
recognize the union claims to repre-
sentation of the majority of shop en-
election. The board, however, said
the dispute which arose over the unions
claim was merely one of procedure"
Neither the Pennsylvania general
election nor ballot conducted by the
system federation was fair nor legal,
the board said and the employees conse-
quently been denied their legal rights
to select representatives for this i'm
portant conferene u, rules" The
board therefore decided to provide a
method of electing employees commit
rights of every employe, union and
non-union."
The boards decision declared the
dispute one of technicalities., adding
that ''at time when the nation is
slowly and painfully progressing
through the conditions yof industrial
depression, unemployment and unrest,
it is almost reasonable for any en-
ployer or employe to stubbornly haggle
over non-essentials at the risk Of social
chaos"
Orders New Conference.
The boards ruling orders a confer
ence on or before August 10, between
representatives of the road, the Penn
syivania system, federation or any
other organization having shop crafts
members and established to function as
a labor organization, as set forth in
the transportation act, and any other
representative carrying the signed
ployes. This conference is to deter
mine the method of holding the new
election and the general committee will
also have charge of the election. In
structions giving the form of the bal
lot and the rules of voting and the
counting the ballots are also given,
with the direction that the vote shall
be completed "at the earliest possible
date"
The decision points to solution of
dispute that attracted attention even
from manufacturers and shipping as
sociations who endeavored last week
to intervene in the case. upholding the
railroads open shop policy. The Penn
sylvania has never declared opposition
to labor unions but maintained that
a popular vote" of employees, regard
less of union affiliations was the prop |
er way to solve any problem affecting |
their workers.
