CHICAGO, October 24-Samuel o.
Dunn, editor of Railway Age, declared
yesterday that, however confusing" the
Interstate Commerce Commission de-
cision on the railway freight rate in
crease might be in other respects, it
was made clear and certain" that rail-
way wages must be reduced as soon as
practicable.
Dunn said there was a serious ques-
ton as to whether railway employees as
a whole actually have benefited by the
maintenance of wages during the pres
ent depression"
In the last depression" he added
1.-The Railway Labor Board made effec-
tive on July /, 1921, an average reduc-
ton of about II per cent in wages.
This was followed Immediately by an
increase in the number of employees,
which averaged almost 10000 more in
the three months Immediately following
the reduction in wages than during the
quarter Immediately preceding the re-
duction.
Wages have been maintained thus
far in 1881, and the number Of en-
ployes has declined instead of increas-
ing since the middle of the year, while
the number working only part time has
increased"
