Expectation Of Reaction In

Houses to Take Profit.
By BROADAN WALL.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Although
developments apropos of the Euro
pean financial and economic situa-
ton were construed as favorable. the
upward trend in the stock market
was less pronounced today. The fact
that the average price of the indus
trials had advanced eleven out Of
the last thirteen sessions caused
many people. especially profession
ais, to sell short or long stock in the
belief that the rebound from the
lows of November 81 had been too
rapid to last. Expectation Of q re-
action also prompted some large
commission houses to advise their
customers to do a little Christmas
shopping at the expense of the mar
ket.

hesitancy.

ANOTHER WAGE CUT
! i
HITS 10000
Labor Board Eliminates Firemen and
and Oilers Time and 0ne-Half
Pay Until After 10 Hours.

Chicago, ILL.,, February 23-- Anoth-
er pay slash, this time hitting 10000
railroad firemen and oilers, was made
by the United States Railway Labor
Board today, when it announced rules,
effective March l, eliminating extra
pay until after the tenth hour and
setting up a "split trick" of eight
hours within a spread of twelve with
out any overtime pay.
Following several other decisions
virtually restoring the ten-hour day
for railroad workers, the board today
authorized the roads to pay only pro-
rata wages after the regular eight
hours, which the board retained in
principle as conctituting days work.
Time and one-half will be paid after
ten hours. In the case of the "split
trick" straight time will be paid for
the first ten hours WORK, whether in
cluded in the twelve-hour spread or
not, and time and one-half will he Civ
en- thereafter.
Formerly the fremen and oilers, all
of whom worked around railroad
shops, were paid time and one-half
after eight hours.
Sundays and holidays will be paid
for at the pro-rata rate, a minimum of
three hours pay being made for two
hours work OF less. Monthly rated en-
poyes' wages are to be adjusted to
eliminate the old time and one-half
provisions.
Ten rules, regarding discipline,
GRIEVANCES, discrimination against
committeeman and similar matters
were remanded to the employees, and
the roads for further negotiation. The
boards new rules supplant the nation
al agreement made during federal
control, which has been in effect since
January 16, 1920.
