RAIL BOARD CUTS WAGES
Reduces Pay on Minnesota Road 20
Per Cent to Avert
Bankruptcy.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-In authorizing a
20 per cent wage cut for engineers,
motor men, fremen, conductors and
bralemen on the Electric Short Lines
railroad running between Minneapolis
and Hutchinson, Mimi, the United
States railroad labor board set
precedent.
The decision stated "the road would
90 bankrupt without the reduction"
The ruling is of import because of
the present railroad situation and the
announced plans of the steam roads
to ask the board for a new wage re-
duction of 10 per cent on the grounds,
among others, that they could not
continue to operate under the present
wage scales.
