NO INCREASE is
ALLOWED ON SHORT LINES

dismissed appeals for increased wag-
es filed with it last fall by Is railway
labor unions against CT "short lines
throughout the country.
Short lines which accepted for
their men the terms of the $500, ,0O0,-
900 wage award Of last July will not
be privileged to 60 back to the old
scale, under today's action, however,
.he announcement of the board say
ing:
"This decision shall not be consid-
cred as affecting any wage increase
now in effect nor any agreement re
garding wages between any Of the
carriers and their employees
The boards decision affects approx
imately four thousand employees.
The railroads involved are in general
remote from large cities and provide
service for small communities located
in nearly every state. Because IF the
varying kinds of work performed by
the employees the board declared it
found it "impracticable to decide on
the evidence, which already are rea-
sonable wages for the varying work
under prevailing conditions" by the
employees.
The decision points out that there
are under consideration by the board
several bundred grievances which
should be de. .ermined by the boards
Of adjustments if such boards were in
existence. It also pointet out the
d., erse kinds of work don, b. the
employees was unclassified md there
fore thae it actually was impossible
to undertake the need of Standard
ization of rus upon which to base
a wage award.
A general rules and working hear
ing affecting the trunk lines of the
country is before the board. No set
of rules, however, has ever been ap-
piled uniformly to the short lines. The
board declared it was impracticable
To determine what reasonable rules
shall be in effect on the short lines
until the question of reasonable rules
and working conditions on the stand
ard railroads has been disposed Of"
Representatives of the carriers and
the employees are still given the right
to confer as to wages and working
conditions under the boards decision.
Representatives Of Is employees or
CARNATIONS are among the 1000 men
affected by the decision. In a few
cases, employees belonging to- all Is
unions are involved on the same road,
but on the larger part of the roads
only few classes of employees come
under the decision for the reason that
the boards decision affects only those
in whose behalf a dispute was
brought to<the board. .....
Disputes were originally certified to
the board on the part of the employ
ees belonging to one or more of the
Is unions on 103 railroads. Ten of
these roads, however, were electric
lines and the board ruled these lines
out. Twenty-six other lines adopted
the wage schedules paid by the trunk
lines, laid down in what is known as
decision number two, the wage award
by the labor board handed down July
20, 1920. Trunk lines in the wage
decision were those represented by
the Association of Railway Eexecu-
tives.
Following the application of deci-
sion number two, employees on roads
not affected began to file disputes
with the board and the whole matter
was taken up in a hearing known as
the short line hearing on October 18,

HIT By TRAIN AFTER REPORT.
WinOoski Man Injured 81 Hours After
Daughter Reported Accident

BURLINGTON. Sept. 1o.-Coinci-
dence of an odd sort came to light here
yesterday with the discovery that fact
and fiction were separated by a bare 24
hours when Thomas Gosley. an aged Win
ooski man. was struck here Saturday by
a Rutland railroad train.
On Friday. according to the police.
Gosley's daughter. employed al the choco-
late company'S plant. was excused from
duty after she had told the officials that
her father had been struck by a train near
the lime kiln in Wiuooski. The story.
widely circulated in the city. proved to be
false when a reporter ran it down. and
Gosley's daughter admitted that the choc-
olate company had been misinformed.
Saturday Goslcy really was hit by n
train near the Queen City Cotton com
pany's plant here, while he was returning
| home from the chocolate factory where
he had gone to draw his daughters pay.
He is suffering with several broken ribs,
4 broken elbow and a fractured arm. His
recovery is considered probable by attend
| ing physicians if internal injuries do not

PUBLISHES NAMES
OF RECALCITRANTS
Massachusetts, Minimum Wage Com
mission Exposing Manufacturers
Who Ignore Decisions

BOSTON. Mass, Sept. 19-Employ-
ers who do not comply with the DEGREES of
the Massachusetts minimum wage COM
mission have discovered that they are sub
ject to publicity which from their stand
point may not be wholly desirable.
The penalty provided by law for non
compliance is publication of the names of
employers refusing to accept the commits
siOn's recommendation. According to the
state department of labor and industries.
no other state or country having mini
mum wage legislation has this require
ment, all other laws being mandatory and
enforceable in the regular way.
1t was only this month"; however, that
the commission made use of its powers to
the extent of publication of names. Tn
til the latter part of 1918 it was prevented
from making complete inspections to de
ternfine compliance with its DEGREES. be-
cause the cOnstitutiOnality of the mini
mum wage law was contested. The state
supreme court finally upheld the commits
sion's right to make such inspections.
After this decision things went so
smoothly that the commission was able to
obtain compliance without legal action
But it struck a snag in July of last year
when it recommended specific minimum
wages in the paper box manufacturing in
dustry. Although the majority of firms
accepted its decree. several refused. Sim
of some employers of Office building clean
ers and women's clothing makers.
As the supreme court in its decision
had reserved for later consideration the
question of the cOnstitutionality of the
publicity provision of the law. the COM
mission recently asked Attorney General
J. Weston Allen of Massachusetts for an
opinion. The attorney general in
formed the commission that in his opin-
ion no constitutional right or privilege Of
an employer was violated by the provision
and that publication of names under its
terms was a privileged communication
(which, if made in good faith without
malice and with reasonable cause to be
lieve the sta tements contained therein to
be true, could not be the basis for any
liability for libel"
On Sept. > there were approximately
279 cases in which employers had refused
to comply with DEGREES.
Acting on the advice of the attorney
general" the commission announced, the
commission is publishing the names of the
employers in question"

Egg Market Firmer and Poultry Higher
Demand for Potatoes Falls on -
Poor Demand for Beef Cattle - Can
ner Cows Bring Cent -and-a-Half LIB.
BOSTON, Sept 19-The bureau of
markets and crop estimates of the United
States department of agriculture issues
the following Boston market review for
the week ending Sept. 16:
Dairy and Poultry Products.
The markets for butter, cheese, eggs
and poultry the past week showed much
Improvement. The hot weather of 10
days to two weeks ago was the cause of
lighter receipts and smaller percentage
of fancy goods. Vacation time is over
and most of the people have returned to
the city, causing a steadier buying de
mand The bureau of markets and crop
estimates storage report showing a short
age of butter compared with last year of
p 100000 pounds gives the butter market
a far better statistical position. All these
factors contributed to the irmer tone and
higher prices.
Fancy butter was short and found an
excellent demand. The price of fine
northern goods was advanced from around
44c. to about 46c, and even at that price
it was almost impossible to buy any guam
tity. Receipts of northern butter are
very light. Western extras at the close
sold at He. with very little available.
Medium and undergrades. however. were
in liberal supply and sold at practically
the same prices as a week ago. 36-4Oc.
The cheese market early in the week
was quite firm due to higher markets at
country markets. At the close the mar
ket had settled to a steady to firm posi-
tion with trading taking place at about
the same prices as last week. Wis: Twins
at pic, and small styles up to 2215c.
The egg market gradually became tirmer
during the week. As receipts of fine eggs
became lighter the competition among
buyers became keener with the result of
advancing the prices of nearby all fancy
eggs of about 1c. Nearby eggs held steady
at 60-6jc, depending on quality and size
of lot. Western hennerys found a good
demand up to 5Sc., and extras up to 4Sc

HANDLING MATERIALS
 BY MECHANICAL MEANS

American industry is now entering another definite epoch. namely that of attention to means of mechanical distribution. The time to manufac- ture 6 product is made up not only of time consumed by operations at machines, but also of time consumed in handling material between ma chimes This latter interval is re- ceiving the best attention of those interested in industrial development. Methods of handling affect directly many items of cost. and cost is one of the most essential items for con- sideration by present day industry and business of every kind.
 Moving pictures showing the ac- complishment of various types of conveying machinery in present day industrial life will be shown at a meeting Of the Bridgeport Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the Chamber of Com merce room, Court street entrance, at s D. rn-, Friday, May 27.
