Increased S22,125,OO0 by Action
Labor Board.

Chicago, Oct. 14.--The wage bill Of
the nations railroads was increased
an estimated $22,125 900 by decision
of the United States railroad labor
board today granting increased pay
of 2 cents an hour to over 100000
maintenance of way employees.
Four of nine groups Of the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance Of Way
Employees and railroad shop workers
were affected by the raise, the largest
single group being common laborers.
The decision raised minimum rates Of
pay for the classes affected from the
present % and 35 cents to rs and 81
cents.
Chairman Ben w. Hooper of the
labor board in statement following
the decision said that the board based
its findings on general upward
trend in wages since the boards de-
cision Of last July reducing wages foI
this and other groups of workers, and
not on any pronounced change in llv-
ing costs.
Today's decision marked a victory
for the public group of the board
which proposed the 2-cent increase,
the proposal being rejected at first by
the three members of the railroad
syToun who favored no charrn and
the three members of the labor group
who favored much larger increase.
