|65 Carriers
in Orde er
Advance Of One to Two Cents
Awarded Clerks, Freight
Handlers and Others
by Labor Board.
Signalmen Denied Boost

Chicago, Oct. 21.--The United
public a decision tonight. awarding
increases Of 1 to cents to clerks,
station forces, dock. warehouse and
platform freight handlers, and similar
employees of 65 carriers.
The decision followed closely on an
other. denying an increase to signal
men. The present decision reads:
I'm the case of the signalmen. their
present rates of pay and the very
favorable treatment they had re-
ceived in previous wage orders and
adjustments, made It seem inequitable
to award them an increase of wages
under the state of proof before the
board. In the case of the clerical en-
ployes proper, itis undoubtedly true
that their present wages and the pre-
vious wage awards and orders affect
ing them through a long period of
years, do not show that they have
ever received treatment which could
be termed preferential" A dissent
ing opinion accompanied the previous
decision denying an increase to the
signalmen.
The employees affected by the pres
ent decision were represented by the
Brotherhood of Railway and Steam
ship Clerks, Freight Handlers. Ex-
press and Station Employees. by the
Brotherhood OF Railway Station En-
ployes and by the International Long
shoremen's association.
An unusual provision Of the de-
ciSio,. is that the "snm of the In
creasss granted TO the employees In
each section shall be distributed by
Joint action Of the representatives of
such q manner as to bring about just
and equitable rates for the employees

which increases are provided"
