Chicago. Dec. l9.-Punitive pay for
Sundays, holidays, ana time worked
in excess OF eight hours is again de-
I MED maintenance OF way employees i'm
a decision (No. l450, dockets 2064
1 and 2500) handed down last Satur-
i day by majority members of the
Railroad Labor Board. 4 dissenting
| opinion is presented by A. o. Mhar-
ton, labor group member. Chairman
Hooper eoncurred in that part Of the
| dissent which applies TO Sunday and
holiday work. The effect of the de-
cision is that this class of employees,
numbering over 100000, will continue
to receive pro rata pay for the ninth
and tenth hours and for Sunday and
the seven recognized annual holidays.
This decision determines the hither-
to undecided portion of the disputes
| between the carriers and the Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way En-
ployes and Railway Shop Laborers
referred TO i'm decision No. 1867,
| which awarded 2 cents an hour in
crease to certain classes of mainten-
ance employees.
The original submission of the em-
4 u
cents an hour and restoration of the
8-hour day, with other changes IN
rules and working conditions. Ii will
be recalled that sanction Of strike
of maintenance employees was with
held last July on the promise of GER
tain board members that their griev-
ances would be given prompt and
| helpful consideration.
The present dicision sets up many
rules supplementary to those estab-
lished in decision No. SOL, which ap-
piled to various classes of railroad
employees, the most important being
those covering hours OF service and
/ overtime, which are practically the
same as designated in Decision 50l /,
effective December 16, 1921, which
eliminated all punitive overtime pay.
In his dissenting opinion, Mr..
Wharton said;
"Since the promuigation OF Decis-
ion sol every argument advanced by
the employees regarding the necessity
of a punitive rate for time worked
in excess of eight hours as a means
to insure the workers the Dement'S
accruing under the S-hour day has
been justified by the action OF the
carriers, who have quite generally re-
ouired substantial numbers of these
employees to work 8 and 10 hours per
day.
aThe majority, in denying these
employees punitive overtime rates for
Sundays and the seven designated
holidays and for service rendered IN
excess of eight hours, are at variance
with the trend of modern thought.
Wise employers have quite generally,
recognized the justice of the workers
, plea. The federal, state, and munici-
pal governments have almost uni.
formly recognized the principle OF
punitive pay for this overtime. Tn
bunals and boards of arbitration
created and selected to pass upon TINS
question are to be included in the long
list, and society generally indorses
this principle. ..,o,,
"There is one notable exception,
and that is the tribunal created by
an, act of Congress, obligated under
oath to establish just and reason
able rates of pay and rules govern,
ing working conditions for railroad
emnloVps"
