Recognize Living Wage
Definite recognition of '1iving
wage" and Saving wage" was made for
| the first time by the board in Friday s
| decision. Although abnormal postwar
conditions were pointed out as obstruc-
tions TO fixing any scientific living or
saving wage at present, the board de-
clared that as soon as this condition
was removed it would give Increased
consideration to all the intricate de-
tails incident to the scientific adjust
ment of such a wage"
The bulk of those hit by the new cut
will be 100000 clerks and 1000 sta
ton employees. The majority of clerks.
those with two years experience or
more, are cut three cents an hour.
Other clerks are cut four cents and
beginners, instead of the former min
imum months pay of SGT. will get $50.
After the first six months they will
receive so instead OF the former rate
of $3.50. Storekeepers, chief clerks
train and engine crew callers, train
dIu lociu
will be cut three cents.
Under the four cent reduction come
janitors. watchmen. office boys, mes
sengers and freight handlers, as well as
all common lahorers around stations
and warehouses.

ciared, have suffered from improper
tionate increases and decreases hereto
fore. received the most welcome news
of the order when minimum wage of
SS5 a month was fixed by the board
with the further proviso that any
hello girls who receive more than
that amount at present shall not suf
fer any reduction.
The 10000 signal men received the
heaviest cut of the group, being re-
duced five cents an hour. with helpers
suffering six cent slash.
Signal foremen, assistant foremen
and inspectors, however, escaped with
no reduction.
The 5000 train dispatchers likewise
escaped cut, the board declaring the
nature of their work and their respon
sibility warranting continuance of the
present rates.
Stationary engineers, firemen and
oilers. numbering 10000, escaped with
the smallest slice from their pay en-
velopes, being cut cents an hour.
viii Take Strike Vote
Executives of the firemen and oilers
union, the signal men and the clerk
brotherhood. decided at a conference
with other labor unions in Cincinnati
last week to issue strike ballot if
their wages were reduced. The six
shop crafts and the maintenance of
way union, also in the conference, al
ready have their strike vote under way.
Dining car employees and the culinary
workers on the ferries in San Fran

The board explained that the clerks
'ut was lighter than some other classes

rules and because they never have been
