OF cOmplcaGed rules governing the
application of wage scales hither-
to agreed upon between the broth
erhoods and the railroads These
have long blocked a settlement of
the controversy. A number of
these rules, upheld by the brother
hoods, have been viewed by rail-
road executives as unnecessarily
hampering the efficiency of rail-
road service.
In consequence, the arbitration
board suggested that the conduct
ors and trainnaen take either the
63a. per cent increase, in. wages
keeping the present form of, con-
tract and rules, or that they, obtain
a 7h per cent increase, rcOnceding
certain alienation in the standard
rules. Specifically, the board men
toned the elimination of the pre-
sent rule affecting the operations
of trains with ,doubleheader en-
gines, and the elimination of the
present rule limiting the tonnage
of freight on single train. Addi-
tional recommendations We're made
as, to modification of Their rules, af-
fecting the operation of trains
where additional locomotives are
attached to "boost" trains over
short stretches, and where the num-
Der of cars are limited.
7 Under the railroad Labor board
procedure, the. arbitration report
made to President Coolidge must
be considered by both the carriers
and brotherhoods during a period
of 80 days. Neither side may leg
ally produce a situation resulting
in suspension of operations during
that period In case they accept
the findings, difficulties will be
completely settled.
