Old Men Have First Place at Moro
ATshie"--Younger Men Next,
Then the Women

When a Moro gives dinner party
the repast is spread upon floor
covered with banana leaves. Rice,
fish, grasshoppers and perhaps
chicken, are on the menu. Chop
sticks are too clumsy, and knives,
forks and spoons too modern for a
Moro. He uses his fingers, and his
fingers only.
When dinner is announced the
old men gather round the festive
floor, and, all squatting down, begin
to eat. Only the old men are per-
mitted to eat first; the young men
and the women stand enyiously by
and gaze at them. An American has
no way of determining when Moro
has reached the age that permits
him to join the seniors, but the
Moro knows. These old fellows pick
up a piece of fish or chicken or a
grasshopper, roll it in ball Of rice,
and away it goes. They work in
credibly fast, and the enjoyment of
the meal is not broken by any idle
chatter. When the old men have
their fill the young men begin. They
are followed in turn by the old
ladies: then comes the turn of the
debutantes.

LABOR BOARDS
RULING PLEASES
Both Railroad Executives and
Labor Leaders Praise De-
Cision of Federal Board.
SEE FINAL AGREEMENT
Will Materially Advance e.
forts Being Made to Arrive
at Satisfactory Agreement
SEE FINAL AGREEMENT

CHICAGO. April 15.-Both rail-
road executives and labor leaders
today declared the decision of the
United States Railroad Labor Board
abrogated the national agreement
would materially advance efforts to
arrive at a satisfactory agreement
to all parties. The board directed
individual roads and employers to
confer and agree on new working
rules by July /. Labor representa-
tives said many of the 16 basic prin-
ciples laid down in the boards de-
cision to govern the conferences on
new working agreements especially
the eight-hour day and right of en-
ployeS to organize and select their
own representatives include princi-
pies they have been fighting for.
Railroad executives said the decis-
ion recognized their contention that
many of the rules should not have
national recognition.
The decision affects members of
eighteen unions including all those
affiliated with the railway depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor. In this group are the Big
Four, the organization of engineers,
firemen, trainmep and conductors.
1t affects telegra piers, clerks, shop
employees maintenance of way, en-
ployes. sheet metal workers, SWITCH
men and those members of the
national organizations of masters
mates and pilots of American en-
ployed by railroads.
When the abrogation of the ma
tional agreement was proposed sew
eral months ago by w. w. Atterbury,
vice president of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, it was declared the nation
al agreements were costing the rail-
roads $300,000.000 a year because
certain economies in shop conditions
could not be put into effect under
the old rule.
The decision came just before the
terms of three members of the board
expired at midnight last night. The
decision had nothing to do with the
various league conferences instituted
by various railroads within the last
few weeks and some of which have
resulted in disputes which have
reached the board. The rul. find
ings will affect pay envelopes only
insofar as it results in modification
Of regulations concerning what con-
stitutes overtime, defining just when
a railroad man starts work, and SIM
liar subjects.
