RIGHTS OF NON-UNION
EMPLOYEES ARE UPHELD

CHICAGO. Aug. 4-The rights OF
non-union employees were upheld by
the United States labor board Thurs
day in rendering a decision in a
dispute between the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Brotherhood Of rail-

Handlers, Express and Station en-

The dispute grew out Of G meet.
ing between representatives OF the
carrier and its employees to negotiate
rules and working conditions. The
carrier submitted a plan for the TAX
Fng OF a ballot Of the employees 10 Sc
leCt their representa- tives for the pro-
posed conference on rules. The rep
resentauves Of the brotherhood re-
fused 10 accept the plan and mace a
counter proposal which was refused
by the road.
The railroad then put out its ball
lot without an adjustment Of the
differences. The evidence shows, -
the board declared. that a large
majority of said employees either did
not participate In the elections held
by the carrier. or their votes were
thrown out. The representatives
elected by a minority Of the employees
have since been negotiating new
agreements for rules and working
conditions TO apply 10 all employees
Of that class. including the majority
who did not vote or whose votes
