RAILWAY PAY TO SATISFY

Hints From Labor Board Indicate Award Will Modify Unnest. Chicago, June 11.—General optimism prevails among the members of the United States labor board, now meeting daily’ in executive sessions, that the wage award for railway workers will be satisfactory to all concerned and that it will tend to modify the present industrial unrest. The question of a temporary award is now under consideration, according to G. W. Hangar, representing the public. The permanent decision will not be made for some time, he says. The only hint given as to the nature of the board’s decision, according to persons capable of forecasting, Is that the railroads will be given authority to meet competing wages of outside Industries and the railroad workers will be given wage increases necessary to meet the present cost of living.
