Chicago Sept. 27 Associated Press) ).-Presentation of testimony to the railroad labor board in the wages and rules dispute, involving the Brotherhood of R. R. Signalmen and 42 carriers and subsidiaries ended late yesterday at the conclusion of argu- ments by representatives of the East ern. Southea astern and Western roads. The union is requesting wartime wages, with differentials above that level for supervisory classes and a return of the eight-hour basic day.
 Charges that the presentation of fered by D. ". Helt, grand president of the signal workers union. was an informal indictment of the labor board for it's alleged failure to base previous cuts on submitted facts marked the afternoon session. Dr. c. R. Neal, the Southeastern Carriers representative, told the board that President Helt's argument plainly in- dicated that the union was holding it's strike vote over the labor board as threat to force a favorable decision.
 John G. Walber, representative of the eastern roads, said "l'he latest in formation available completely con- tradicts the assertion that the cost of living has increased
 No intimation as to when the board would announce its decision was forthcoming However, it was con- sidered possible that it's finding will be made public in conjunction with or soon after it's ruling in the main- tenance of way case. expected about Oct. 1.
