BIG SLASH FROM
RAIL PAY ROLLS
WAGE CUT WILL AMOUNT TO
MORE THAN FoRTY-EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS.
WILL AFFECT 100000 MEN
Decrease Affects Mostly Maintenance
Of Way Workers and Cut May Be
Extended to other Glasses.
A Big Saving.

Chicago-More than $4S000, 900 was
railway employees in decision by the
United States Railroad Labor Board
here.
The decreases, which averaged five
cents per hour In the majority of
cases, followed cuts of $400,000,000
made last July by the board. The
new decision, however, affects mostly
maintenance Of way workers. although
decisions are pending affecting other
Classifications.
II the wage cuts made in this lat
est decision are extended to others
expected soon, 1t was pointed out in
railway circles, much of the S600,000,-
GOO increase given by the board ir
1920 will be wiped out and wages re-
stored to a level which railway Off
cials have told the board will lead to
new era OF development and open
the way to the employment Of 200, 900
men.
The decision was signed by the three
railway members of the board and the
three members representing the pub.
lie, A dissenting opinion was filed by
the three members representing the
labor group. The majority opinion
said that the wage cuts, effective July
| /, were made in accordance with de.
creases in the cost OF living The
minority opinion contended that the
wage scale provided in the decision
was insufficient to sustain life on the
basis of American standards.
The dissenting opinion was signed
by the three labor members OF the
board, A. o. Wharton, Albert Phillips
and w. l.. McMenimen. The opinion
gives extended tables and testimony
on which the labor group bases its
decision that the wage cut is not JUS
titled.
The rates Of pay established under
this decision" the dissenting opinion
said, will merely perpetuate the low
level OF purchasing power possessed
by this large class of workers in pre-
war years"

COAL PRODUCTION is
UP DESPITE STRIKE
100000 Tons Is Weeks Output In
Btuminous Fields.

Neutrality-suspicious. from the BIZ
luminous coal fields still operating in
spite of the general mine strike show
ed general and notable increase
in production setting in last week,
the geological survey has reported.
For four successive days including
Thursday-the last reported-railroad
cars loaded with new coal numbered
more than 14600 and on Tuesday
the total was 1902 cars.
The survey estimated this would
give a total production of more than
100000 tons for the week, as COM
pared with a high previous week,
April /, when the strike was called
of about 100000 tons.
"The increase is largely in re-
sponse to higher prices and more ac'
tive demand the report said, call
ing into production mines which have
been hitherto working only part
time, in districts not affected by the
strike. To much smaller extent
the increase results from resumption
OF work in eastern Kentucky and
southern West Virginia"
The survey added that 1T is clear
that consumers stocks must be fall
ing, but by how much is uncertain.
Anthracite production remains al
most completely stopped by the
strike, the report indicated.
