No New Men Hired.
"The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.

all these conditions except the last.
The splendid work done by the em-
ployes who have remained at work
reveals the highest type OF loyalty
and devotion to duty, which is great

we are not willing to 60 back on
these loyal employees. but we are will.
ing to have the employees now out OF
service return to work under the pro-
visions Of my letter Of July 4, 1872,
which provides that they shall take
rank behind the men now at work.
AT this time the question OF Sc
niority is not a large one because but
few men have been hired, and !
earnestly urge that the men consider
the situation carefully and return to
work without losing any more pay,
so that we can resume getting our
equipment in repairs for the fall BUSH
ness. We do not want to employ
new men, but cannot wait much

Circuit Court ~
Upholds Ruling
! ofLabor Board
Decision Of Federal Judge
Reversed in Test Case
Brought by Pennsyl.
vania Road.

Chicago, July 2O.-(By A.. P.) -
The circuit court of appeals reversed
the decision of the federal court in
the test case of the Pennsylvania
railroad against the United States
Railroad Labor board. The carrier had
sought an injunction to restrain the
board from issuing an order CRITICS.
ing it for failure to observe decisions
Of the board and had been upheld
by the lower court.
The Pennsylvania's controversy
with the labor board dates back to
the socalled abrogation of the ma
tional agreements when the labor
board ordered the roads and their
employees to negotiate new rules. In
preparing to make new rules the
officials Of the road were authorized
to send out ballots for a vote on
who should represent them in the
negotiations. ~
The Pennsylvania insisted that
only employees of the road were eligi-
bic to represent the men and ballots
were sent out containing the names Of
individuals. The six federations,
however, sent out ballots containing
the names of the unions and votes
were rturned authorizing the union
officials to negotiate the new agree
ments. Because these officials were
not employees Of the road, the Penn
sylvania refused to recognize their
authority and the case was referred to
the labor board.
The board ordered new ballots
sent out containing the names Of both
individuals and unions. The Penn
sylvania road failed to follow in
structons of the board and was cited
befofe it. When it appeared the
board was about to condemn the road
for violation of the boards order,
the Pennsylvania secured an injunc-
tion restraining the board from issu-
ing the order. ~
The decision by the federal court
of appeals rverses the action of the
lower court and upholds the labor
board.
