Of his situation. Impelled by the neces-
sity of effectng n coordination of our
strength, we declare for closer coopera-
tion OF our forces which will operate

basic industries. After mature delibera-
ton and with full sense of our respon-

interests Of the employees in these basic
industries must be recognized and we
assert our purpose to apply every honor
able method to secure adequate stand
ards Of living.
Article 2. When it becomes apparent
that any one. or group Of the associated
organizations, is made the victim of un

fo- each eight-hour day or night.
The rate of wages fixed for ap-
prentices has been reduced. This is in
keeping with the now recognized reduc-
tion In the cost of living and the neces-
saries of life. The wages paid for aap-
prentices have been higher, proportion
ately. than those paid for pressmen. As
pointed out above. the pressmen have
had cut in wages because of the loss
of extra work We understand that the
apprentices will not be affected as much
by reason Of the loss of extra work as
will be the pressmen. In keeping with
the times calling for reduction of wages,
we think the apprentices should have
this reduction.
Article Is should read as follows:
XIV. Fly boys and carrier boys who
are not apprentices shall be classed as
skilled labor and may at the Unions
option, be members thereof. The mini
mum wage for such fly boys and carrier
boys shall be s. per e'ght-hour day or
night"
Article IS should rea as follows:
XVI. 1t Is agreed that the presses
may be run at any time by mechanics
or repairmen for the purpose of testing
out or repairing the same"
This provision need not be commented
upon: its statement is sufficient.
Article II should read as follows:
xvii. Both parties agree to give
prompt attention to every complaint or
dispute that arises and to endeavor. in
good faith, to settle any difference by
the Joint Standing Committee"
This Is in harmony with the mutual
understanding TO promote good feeling
and harmonious relations and to avoid
misunderstanding II differences of
opinion arise. it is agreed that the work
will ha continued wi 7nnt ipt Mt ion
until a settlement has heen arrived at.
Article Is should read as follows:
xviii II Is agreed that this contract
covers all questions of wages, hours and
working conditions. and the obligations
thereof are imposed End accepted by
the parties hereto and shall continue
until September J. 1923.

Since the parties have agreed to abide
by the determinations arrived at, it Is
essential that they so agree; therefore
this last provision.

I7S ROADS PETITION
FOR WAGE DECREASES
Seven Labor Organizations
Ask for Increased Pay.

CHICAGO, Feb. % ASSOCIATED Press).
More than 175 railroads, including
cvery big transportation line in the
country except the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. had filed petitions for wage re-
ductions for ~ classes of employees
when the wage docket was closed at the
nltcd states Railroad Labor Board
to-day
Unexpected counter proposals for
wage increases were filed by seven
labor organizations in addition to the
increase Of 13 cents an hour over
present wages asked by the six railway
hop crafts unions, as announced two
months ago.
Hearings on the wage disputes for all
classes of employees except the five
train service brotherhoods--the engi-
neers. fremen. conductors, trainmen
and switchmen-will begin March 6. the
roads submissions generally seeking
rostoration of wages paid prior TO May
2. 1920, when the boards first wage
award. amounting TO $500, 900, be-
came effective. The cross petitions for
more pay vary in the amounts sought,
ranging from to 13 cents an hour.

ton board visited some of the publish

is provided, as well as the worst. Ali
of this has been helpful in arriving at

tions involved with ar eye only to

Extra Holiday Pay.

Article should read as follows:
wi. Holidays. When work Is per
formed on any of the legal holidays pro-
vided for by the laws of the State of
New York. between 7 A. NJ. and p. NJ.
time and one-half shall be allowed"
Since the publisher announced that
extra pay should be given for work On
holidays, there is no reason why all of
the legal holidays provided for by the
laws OF the State of New York and
recognized by it should not be paid for
on the same basis. No good reason is
advanced for selecting but half the
holidays for the allowance of extra pay.
Article Z should read as follows:
wi. All employees of the pressroom
shall perform any work pertaining to the
operation, maintenance, cleaning and ur-
keep OF the presses within the building
and shall be subject to the orders and
directions of the publisher In so doing. "
Article should read as follows:
VIII. Press crews or members there
of may be transferred at the discretion
of the publisher or its representative
or from one press to another or from one
position to another, as efficiency or
economical operation require. provided
that such transfer shall be without re-
ducing the number of men employed In
any regular eight hour shift until the
end of that shift"
Article Q should read as follows:
"IX. The publisher or his representa-
tive shall have the authority to dis
charge employees for good cause. but In
so doing shall keep within the requir e
ments and obligations of this contract.
Article 10 should read as follows:
."X. It is agreed that the jurisdiction
authority and control of each pressroom
/ and all it's work and its employees S
given exclusively to the publisher and its
agents or representatives"
The foregoing provisions OF Articles
VII. VIII. TX. and X. are provided for
with the sole object OF having it clearly
understood that the work shall be
| carried on under the authority and dl.
rection OF the publisher.

amount to be mutually agreed upon be-
tween the foreman and the publisher.
The minimum wage of the pressmen in
charge shall be $3.50 per eight hour day.
The wages of pressmen shall be $3.50
per eight hour day.
The minimum wages for eight hours
Of work at night for pressmen in charge
shall be 50; the wages for pressmen
shall be So"
Since II is the intent Of this contract
that the foreman in the future, in fact
as well as In spirit. represents the pub
Usher, he shall bc employed with due
regard for his ability to superintend the
work in hand. 1t Is TO the interest OF
the publisher to pay wages fully ade-
quate TO obtain the hest services as the
necessities Of this industry require.
We have examined the very exhaus-
ti'e exhibits and thorough arguments of
the union on the one side, demanding an
increase Of $40 per week in wages, and
of the publisher on the other hand. ask
ing for a decrease in wages. We de-
cline to allow the union an increase, as
this is not in keeping with the cost Of
living or family requirements of the day.
The statistics gathered and furnished to
the arbitration board satisfactorily es-
tablish that there is a decrease In the
cost of living, although not in rents. The
m m engaged In this industry, and af-
fected by this contract, have been accus-
toned to earning much in excess Of
these wages by extra work. Under
other provisions of this contract they
will be deprived of this opportunity. and
therefore we do not think It would be
fair that their wages should be reduced
further. We recognize that there have
been reductions In wages in other cities.
but our view Is that In other cities OPP
portunities were not afforded the press
men to obtain extra compensation for
extra hours Of service.
Article should read as follows:
'V. All time actually worked in eX-
cess of the number of hours fixed herein
as constituting days or nights work.
exclusive of lunch time. shall be counted
as overtime. Time and one-half shall be
allowed for such extra time. which shall
be psid for at the prevailing rate of
wages"
This provision is not new between the
parties except as to payment for the
actual time of service. We deem 1t fair
that the actual time be paid for rather
than periods OF fifteen minutes or half
hours.
