pute involving Eastern railroads. to
show that the basic wage rates of la.
horers bricl<layers and plasters have
increased since 1921. While the wage
rates for railroad conductors have
fallen from 500 cents TO II cents an
hour.
The board is attempting to settle
The wage dispute growing out of the
demand made by approximately al
600 trainmen and conductors for
wage increases Of about 90 per cent.
j. r. Evans of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
attorney for the Order of Railway
Conductors, introduced the compare
tive wage figures. which he said

1921 to 1926. IN that period. accord
ing To the figures he introduced, the
basic hourly rates of conductors fell
from sos cents to II cents. while the
hourly rate shown for brickla yers in
creased from Sl.194 to Sl.565 in 1926.
The basic wage rate for plasterers
this year. according to his figures
was l.oa3- an hour, an increase Of
3l.o cents over 1921. while the rate
FOR laborers for 1926 was S5.1 cents,
an increase of OF cents over 1921. 3.
Several conductors testified before
the board. Two of them said that
the trains handled by conductors and
trainmen on tho Baltimore and Ohio
and the New York Chicago and ST.
Louis railroads are larger and
heavier" than in previous years.
Factors other than the earnings of
railroads should he taken into con-
sideration in determining the wages
