1t isn't advisable to take a daily
bath during the winter.

Road Ordered To
Reinstate Walters
With Back Wages

Chicago, July 5-(CNA) - The
Joint Council Of Dining Car En-
ployes won a tremendous victory
this week with the ruling of the
National RAILROAD Adjustment
Board that the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
pany must reinstate, with COM
pensation for loss of wages suf-
fered since June %, 1888, a num-
Der of Negro dining car cooks and
walters fired by the road when it
introduced the new type of Grill
and Cafeteria Car.
The new cafeteria cars replaced
a number of dining cars and were
stated by white girls not previ-
ously in the employ of the carrier,
at wages lower than those paid the
walters under an agreement in. eff
feet between the road and the I'M
ion. At the same time, senior Ne
gro employees were reduced to the
extra board or furloughed from
service.
The union based it's claim for re-
instatement and compensation of
the fired men, upon "the long es-
tablished principle that senior quail
flied employees shall have the right
to advancement to preferred runs
and higher rated positions with the
craft or class and the fact that the
management arbitrarily removed
work from the jurisdiction of the
agreement and assigned these du-
ties to other persons who formerly
held no seniority with the carrier
as dining service employees"
The union charged further that
the road violated the agreement
again when at established a rate
of pay" for the new employees low
er than the wage scale specified in
the agreement.
The Board sustained the conten.
tons of the union both counts.
