TELEGRAPHERS ASK |. C. C..
TO Define THEIR STATUS
Railway Officials and Train Dis
patchers Testify in Classi-
flying Inquiry.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
was asked yesterday by leaders of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers and the
American Assoc;:t.io of Train Dispatch
ers to define the status of their men,
bers as such in order that employing
railroads may not classify any of them
as officials.
]. G. Luhrsen, president of the dis
patchers' association, which raised the
case, contended that the men he repre-
sented should be graded as Subordinate
officials only. and kept out of the off
cial class, in which wages, working
hours and conditions generally cannot
be prescribed by the Railway Labor
board.
L. j. Manion, president of the tele-
graphers' order sought a fiat status as
employees for all such persons, even
those in charge of stations. arguing that
his men took their orders ordinarily
from dispatchers.
