"The only vote taken by the shop

Other Crafts In Same Position.
Other railroad labor organizations,
including the maintenance Of way EN-.
ployes, locomotive firemen, engineers,
trainmen, conductors, oilers, tele.
graphers, and stationary firemen. are
at present in practically the same po-
sition, according to their heads. The
clerks union now is completing vote
on the Labor board decision.
Questions at Issue.
Some Of the questions at issue are:
The letting Of certain classes of
work to so:called contractors, who
hire their own men. Under this plan
the employees are not governed by
the Labor board.
The refusal of some railroads to
meet with the men to draw up work
ing agreements, and other refusals to
abide by the decisiona- of the board.
The adjustment Of overtime pay
for Sunday work for shopmen, except
in emergency cases. This is the
main bone of contention between the
shop forces and the board.
