Shopnen On
 Big Four Win
 Treaty of Peace
All Over the Country, Affected by Action.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. ./9.-Treaty of peace affecting 1000 widely scattered shop craftsmen has been signed be- l tween the C., C., & St. L. Ky. Co. (Big Four) and System Federation 54 as of
 July 19, 1924
 The Big Four was one of the first roads to contract out certain of it's shops and since February, 1922, loco motive repair work has been done by the Railway Service & Supply Cor poration.
 Under the agreement entered into between the officials of the road and the federation all employees who were in the service of the company in the locomotive department at Beech Grove when that department was closed down, will be reinstated with all rights and privileges prescribed i'll general and special rules of October 1, 1923, provided application for reinstatement is made within 30 days after the rail way company resumes operation of the locomotive department.
 Disputes will be handled under pro- visions of the October l agreement and the wage scale negotiated in ,Septem- Der, 1923, on the remainder of the road will be the recognized hourly wage rate in the locomotive department when that department is resumed as of July 19, on which date the contract between the railway and the service and supply corporation became void.
 The memorandum of agreement was signed by D. J. Mullen, superinten dent of motive power, and L. V. Hart, president of the system federation.

Express Clerks Win Important
 Decision

Chicago, Aug. o.-In Decision No. 2590 effective August 1, the Railroad Labor Board has ordered number of new rules, applicable to employees rep resented by the Brotherhood of Rail way Clerks in the American Railway Express Company's service.
 The most important change is that they have fixed 240-hour basic month and all hours worked in excess of that will be paid time and a. half. The previous rule permitted the carrier to work the employees 270 hours before overtime rates began. .#+.
 Time and a half for Sundays and holidays has been established, with a provision of one days rest in seven. No split tricks are to be worked ex- cept at stations where less than five employees are kept regularly. In other words, the straight eight-hour day, ex- elusive of lunch period, will be in effect.
 This decision restores a number of favorable conditions previously en- joyed by employees of the American Railway Express but which were abro- gated or modified by decisions of the labor board during the last two years

cataloguing and card-indexing each minute process of manufacture and have subdivided labor accordingly for purposes of economic and speedy pro- duction, now frankly admit that such methods utterly destroy the skill with out which industries cannot perpetu- ate themselves. The alleged 'efhcien- cy made these industries so helpless l that they were compelled to turn to | the public schools to revive, through vocational courses, the trade knowl- edge which was fast being lost. This false theory of economy developed in industry is now being applied in the public schools by the Chicago board of education It is an example of materialistic efficiency gone mad. Labor Has Public Duty. ~ Tn this grave emergency, the Chi cago Federation of Labor and its afi1i ated trade unions have a great public duty to perform. The board of edu- cation has refused to give heed to our protests. Only one course now re- mains open to us. We must arouse the people of Chicago to the dangers ahead"
 The Chicago Teachers Federation characterizes the platoon system as ''the factory system of labor applied to the education of the child" The excuse offered by the proponents of
 the platoon system is Shortage of school revenue" The teachers answer
 this argument by saynig that only 10 per cent. of the $4O,OO00O0,O00 of tax able property in Chicago is assessed. In this connection the Chicago teach CTS make the following serious charges :: Illegal tax evasion by the rich is loading the tax burden on the poor and at the same time robbing the cf1il dren of their rightful educational opportunity.
 ''Vicious inter1ocking, tax-fxing syn dicates in Chicago, composed of tax l officials and other officials, corpora tions, coal dealers, insurance agents, contractors, owners of valuable build ings and sites in the loop and else where, are profting enormously by ssessment-fxing.' These syndicates are a rich source of campaign funds for political parties and candidates.
 These campaign funds are used to elect tax officials and other public off cia1s who keep up these tax-hxing, campaign collecting syndicates at the expense of the honest taxpayers and the children"
