RAIL CLERKS AND
AGENTS GET PAY
CUT IN RULING
Penal Overtime Until After Ninth
Hour Abolished, And "Split
Tricks" Restored


CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Abolition of
penal overtime payments until after
the ninth hour of work and authoriza-
tion of split tricks" instead Of com
polling overtime payments or two
shifts for intermittent work over a
5pan of more than eight hours are inn
portant changes in rules governing
railroad clerical and terminal employ
es issued by the United States Rail-
road Labor Board last night.
The new rules, which become eff
fcctive February | supercede the ma
tional agreement made by the federal
administration with the Brotherhood
of Railway and Steamship Clerks,
Freight Handlers, Express and Sta
ton Employees, which has been in eff
ccct since January 1, 1920. About
10000 employees are affected.
Application Of the new split trick
rules aud elimination of time and
one half pay for the ninth hour are
expected to save the railroads mil
lions of dollars, labor board statis-
ticians estimating that the amount
would reach 100000 annually.
During the rule hearing, many roads
testified that baggagemen, train an
nouncers and other employees doing
intermittent work, many of them
young boys or aged men formerly
paid $75 month, were receiving
3175 to $500 due to operation Of the
overtime rule. This overtime will
now be eliminated.
The eight hour day was retained
in principle, however, as were col
ective bargaining and union recog-
milton. The new rules cover all
points in clerical working agreements
not covered by rules negotiated be-
tween individual roads and their en-
oloyes j
Time and one half pay now applies
only to the tenth hour of work or
thereafter, and to hours worked if
held on duty more than two hours
when called for extra work. Sunday
and holiday work will be paid at
straight time, except where the rail
road agrees to do otherwise.
Reopening of small railway sta
TONS, Improvement of service to. all
small towns and on suburban lines is
expected tofollow the adoption Of the
new rule as to intermittent work. 1t
Will now be possible for the railroads
TO place responsible employees at the
smaller stations at all train hours
"'thout the expense which they
clam now is prohibitive, and which
mas resulted in the closing of many
stations and the handing of others
over TO care takers and janitors at
some hours of the day.
Inc new rule announced bv The
BOARD provides that where actual serv.
ice Is intermittent, eight hours actual
tlme on duty within 8 spread Of IL
moufs shall constitute a days work.
When employees actually work more
than eight hours within the span or
"hen held longer than, 12 hours to
perform a their work, they are to be
pald ume and one half for the extra
time. :
Under the old national agreement.
an employe received overtime pay
after expiration of eight hours from
me time he first went on duty, al
,'ough he may have had several
hours of idlencss due to the fact that
mere was no train service nor any
other duties to- perform.
