BY Wage Reduction Which viii
Take Effect on March First,
II Is Announced

Chicago.-Another pay clash, this
time hitting 10000 railroad f.remen
and oilers, was made by the United
States railroad labor board Thursday
when 1t announced rules effective
March l, eliminating extra pay until
after the tenth hour and setting up n
split trick" OF eight hours within n
spread Of twelve without any overtime
pay.
Following several other decisions
virtually restoring the ten-hour day for
railroad workers, the board Thursday
authorized the roads to pay only pro
rata wages after the regulnr eight
hours which the board retained In prin.
ciple as constituting 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 included in
the twelve-hour spread or not, and
time and one-half will be given there
after Formally the firemen and oil
ers, all OF whom work around rail
road shops, were paid time and one
half after eight hours.
Sundays and holidays will be paid
for at the pro rata, minimum OF
three hours or less. Monthly rated
employees wages are to be adjusted &c
climate the old time and one.half pro
Visions.
Ten rules regarding discipline, griev
noes, discrimination against commit
teemen and similar matters were re
nanded to the employees and the roads
for further negotiation. The boards
new rules supplant the national agree
ment made during federal control
which has been in effect since Jan
uary 10, 1920.
