Open fight
ON S-HOUR DAY
Alton R. R. Would Abolish
Rule Among Train
Service Men
PETITION GOES
TO LABOR BOARD

CHICAGO Nov. 2.-(United Press)
Railroads OF the country today
opened their battle for abolishment
of the eight hour day among train
service employees with the filing OF a
petition before the United States rail-
road labor board by the Chicago
and Alton asking modification OF
working rules.
The Alton asks:
l. Adjustment OF time and one
half pay for overtime in road freight
transfer and hostler service.
2. Extension OF the time limit OF
service in short turn around passen-
ger service from to 10 hours.
3. Extension of the work day In
outlying yards.
This Is the first step by the rail-
roads to abolish or radically modi-
fy rules governing the working train
service employees" declared state
ment made by engine and trainmen
brotherhoods. IF the Atoms petit
ton is granted other roads can be
expected to Immediately take ad-
vantage of the opening.
1.-The Alton was picked to make
the test case because It is in the
hands of a receiver and the ability
to pay has been a prime factor in
previous decisions by the Railroad
Labor Board"
Railroad executives here would
not comment on the Atoms case but
admitted they were watching the
outcome closely.
While individual railroads have
filed similar petitions in the past be-
fore the board they did not have
the backing OF all the lines and in
definite postponements were grant
ed in most cases.
The Alton case was regarded as
the most important to come before
the board since the wages of shop
workers were cut. resulting in the
strike of July i.

Director Anderson Says
Lack of Money Handi-
caps Training
ADVISES 1T FOR
ALL COMMUNITIES

Boys work was the topic of the
day at the weekly luncheon meeting
OF the Wilmington Rotary Club in
the Hotel dupont this afternoon.
The committee In charge of the pro-
gram consisted OF Harry T.. Speak,
man. ID. y. Barnard, and Lewis w.
Brosius. There was a large attend
ance and the members entered
heartily into the spirit OF the day
welfare work for boys being one Of
the chief activities of the club.
The speaker of the day was A. b.
Anderson. director of vocational
training In the Wilmington public
I schools. He spoke OF the success
! that had attended the vocational
work In the local schools and said
the cooperative system In vogue
between the schools and the various
Industrial plants Is operating very
! satisfactorily. At the same time he
complained OF the lack of facilities
for vocational training in the VIII
mington High School and referred
especially to the fact that the Board
OF Education, while willing to sup
port the system as It should be sup
ported. was unable to obtain funds
necessary to do so.
Following his address Mr.. Ander-
son was questioned on various phases
of the work by Ellwood Souder,
president of the Wilmington Board
OF Education. and DR.. T. r. Brown,
president OF the State Board OF Edu-
cation, and others, which led to
sort OF round-table discussion of the
subject OF apprentices being sup
piled to Industrial plants through the
high school. Mr.. Anderson said
the old-time apprentice system had
become very largely a thing of the
past.
In answer to a question by DR..
Brown. Mr.. Anderson said that in
any community where they could
have ten or more boys who wanted
to go into vocational work. 1t would
pay. The fact that they didn't live
in large Industrial community
would not be a barb Mr.. Anderson
said, hut he did not think 1t would
he advisable to install vocational
course with fewer than ten pupils.
