Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.
To the Clerks and Affiliated Employees of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company

A committee from the clerks organ
ization asked the general manager for
a conference for the purpose of request
ing him not to put into effect United
States Railroad Labor Board decision
1914 Docket l300), decided June Is.
1922. which was effective on July |,
1922. The general manager met them
in conference and advised them that he
had no alternative but to put the de-
cision into effect. in view of the fact
that decisions of the Labor Board carry
ing decreases had been applied to other
employees. some of whom were on strike
because of that action. The general
manager, however, offered to consider
any individual adjustments based upon
age in service, unusual fitness, quahfica-
tons. usefulness. ETC.. of which there
might be instances where clerks are
underpaid. The reply of the general
chairman of the clerks organization
was, in part: Il specifically stated to
you yesterday that nothing less than a
blanket non-decrease arrangement was
feasible or satisfactory" His reply fur
ther states that We have arranged at
once to carry out our specifications, the
results of which will soon be forth
coming"
| have no idea as to what these
specific instructions" are. and have not
received any information on this sub
ject. On April u. 1922. an agreement
was entered into between this company
and the organization representing its
clerks, in which the rules governing
their employment and method of deter
mining rates of pay were agreed upon
as part of this agreement. There were
several rules. among which were the
sick leave and vacation rules jointly
submitted to the United States Railroad
Labor Board for decision and are still
pending that board. Consequently.

STRIKER FACES
ATTACK CHARGE
Washington Terminal EN-.
ploye Swears Out
Warrant.

The second outbreak in the local
railroad strike situation came to
light last night when police of the
Sixth precinct reported the arrest
of Morris p. O'Connor, 9OS Third
street northeast. Tuesday night, for
an alleged attack on Harold King,
Capitol Heights. Nd. who is eng
ployed at the Washington Terminal.
Attacking King Monday, police
say, O'Connor was arrested Tues
day night by Detective Guy Rome
on a warrant, sworn by King, in
which he states that O'Connor mall
treated him for his affiliation with
the Washington Terminal. O'Con>
nor was formerly employed as an
electrician at the Terminal.
Taken TO the Sixth precinct by
Detective Ron. O'Connor deposited a
collateral of S25 for his appearance
in Police Court. At court yesterday
O'Connor demanded a jury trial. and
the case was set for July 81.
This alleged attack makes the
second case reported this week.
The first case was in connection
with the alleged assault made on
Henry B. Floyd, a strikebreaker at
the Ivy City shops of the Washing
ton Terminal, by William Beckett,
1921 Twenty-fourth street north
east, last Sunday. Beckett was re-
leased in Police Court Tuesday on
bond of $500.
With the exception of these two
cases the local strike situation re
mained the same last night. 1t was
reported by officials at the Wash
ington Terminal that the schedules
of trains have not been affected by
the strike. AS one official expressed
it. Everything is running along

No. 81, reading as follows:
Rates of pay for employees named
herein will be those mutually agreed
upon by the c. and o. executive board
of the organization party to this agree
ment and representatives of the COM
pany, or as authorized by the United

Rule 80. another agreed upon rule,
reads as follows:
This agreement shall be effective as
of February Is, 1922. and shall con-

provided herein, or under the provisions
OF the transportation act, 1920. Should
either of the parties to this agreement

given and conferences shall be held i'm

tce. unless another date is mutually

No notice of cancellation of this
agreement has been received from the
clerks. as provided for by this rule. We
do not feel that the clerks as a body
will sanction the violation of a formally
signed agreement. made for them by
their authorized representatives. A
strike, if that is what j, meant BY
specific instructions" would be against
the decisions Of the United States Rail
road Labor Board insofar as wages
are concerned. would be called while
the disputed rules are pending before

is also in violation of your own signed
agreement. We call upon the members
of this organization to carry out their

The iowly Corncob.

The u. S. Department OF Agricul-
ture, at Washington. after six years
of trying, has rescued the lowly corn
cob from the iGnominy of hog fodder
and raised il to the level of a substi-
tute fer hard rubber and a possible
motor fuel supply.
This has been made possible through
the extraction OF a corn cob by-pro-
duct known as furfural, according to
DR.. w. w. Skinner, assistant chief of
the Bureau of Chemistry. The pro-
duction of furfural on a commercial
scale at about 6 cents a pound was
made possible through the work Of
DR.. Frederick B. La Forge and Gerald
H. Mains, of the Bureau of Chemistry.
"The Importance Of furfural produc-
ton on large scale is apparent" DR..
Skinner said, "when il is realized that
such widely used articles as printing
plates-light, durable substitutes for
clectrotypes monograph records, var
nishes, pipe stems, cigarette holders,
electrical instrument parts formerly
made of hard rubber, buttons, binders
for brushes, glue, and a hundred other
kindred articles are now being manu-
featured from synthetic resin COM
pounds. These compounds are made
with furfural."
The synthetic resins industry, since
chemists discovered the secret of max
ing them about fifteen years ago, has
had remarkable growth. The raw
materials used in this industry are
Chiefly formaldehyde and phenol Gear
bolic acid. These two compounds,
chemically combined, condense into a
solid which is highly valuable as the
basis for making the articles enumer
ated. Thorough tests have proved fur
fural to be an excellent substitute for
formaldehyde in this work.
The possibilities of conservation NAV
be seen when it is explained that the
source of formaldehyde is methanol
wood ALCOHOL, and that methanol is
produced chiefly from the destructive
dlstllation Of hard woods, such as
birch, beech, oak, maple and elm. The
soft woods, while they are more plen-
tiful in America, produce such low
yields of methanol that they are of
small value as source of supply.
The present price of formaldehyde
is to 10 cents per pound for a 40 per
cent solution. Under methods OF pro-
ducing furfural now in general use,
the product sells for about so cents
per pound. The present price of meth
anol is about 60 cents per gallon.
Dr. La Forge has reported the sue
cessful use of fufural as fuel in an
automobile engine. But, because of
its high boiling point, he said it cannot
be used with the type of carburetor
suited to gasoline.
The method of producing furfural is
simple. The corn cobs, with some
water, are placed in cylinder or pres
sure cooker and steam at about 135
pounds pressure is turned in. After
cooking about two hours. the furfuraI
comes out of the corn cobs and is
blown off with steam, passed through
a condenser and collected as solu-
non OF furfural in water. This So
luton is then distilled in G special
apparatus.
