preme Court Decision.

CHICAGO. June l2.-While addi
tional wage cuts threatened 10000
600 further pay cuts to $4,000 more
railway employees. it was rumored to-
day that any rail strike growing out
of pay decrease decisions by the
United States Railroad Labor Board
might be directed and financed from
Canada to evade the recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court
holding unions liable for damages
causYi by their members
Leaders, of the rail unions said to
be contemplating the move viewed
the establishment of Canadian head
quarters as legitimate, because the
unions are international organiza-
tions Financial penalties in case of
walkout could thus be averted it
was said.
Total Cut S15O,OOO.OOO.
The new wage reduction order is
expected to increase the total cut
from railway workers wages TO ap-
proXimately s150,00O,000 a year.
Clerks. signalmen, stationary firemen,
oilers and marine department en-
ployes will join the shopmen and
maintenance of way employees as vic
TINS OF tnc SlaSn.
Strike ballots to the 10000 railway
shopmen, sent out from Chicago. We're
accompanied by the following letter:
Every possible effort should be
made to obtain the vote of every em-
ploye eligible. The ballot will be
tabulated as soon as possible. and
there will be no stoppage of work
until you are properly authorized to
do so.
This Is the time for action and not
talk or unnecessary delay. The rail-
way employees department desires
that every ballot shall be in Chicago
at the earliest possible moment and
in no case later than June 80"
