Chicago, May 1.-The decision
against contracting shop repair work
to outside firms by railroad companies
in an order handed down by the rail-
road labor board yesterday will not
halt the strike vote being taken by
the 5000 union shop men on the

1t formally brought all the contrac-
tors employees back under the juris-
diction of the board. The principles
of yesterdays decision, the board
said, will apply to all future contract
decisions. There are thirty-seven
