RAILROAD WORKERS TO GET OVERTIME PAY ONLY AFTER 10 HOURS, LABOR BOARD RULES

The Big Mystery Play, "The Bat" Begins at the Murray for Two Days, Tomorrow

CHICAGO. Dec. 14. Changes in overtime pay are the outstanding feature of new rules which the railroad labor board promulgated late yesterday for maintenance of way rail workers. The rules take effect Friday and they affect some 575,000 men under normal business conditions, the number at present being greatly reduced. Under the decision, time and a half

rates are to be paid after the. tenth hour of work instead of after the eighth a3 under the old national working agreement. The finding reaffirms the "basic" eight hour day. It sets forth that "except as otherwise provided in these rules, eight consecutive hours, exclusive of the meal period, phall constitute a day's work." That is word for word from the old rules. Hut nnnitive overtime rates do

not start until after ten hours' work. 1

shift, too, is to be arranged by mutual ! understanding. This knocks out rigid! hour stipulations in the old agreement. I The decision defines maintenance of way employes in such a way that omployes engaged in maintenace of tele-; phone, telegraph, and signal equip ! ment are not excluded from the classi-l

licatfon as before. No new rules on seniority were made, 80 per cent of the roads having agreed with the men on this. Some disputed matter was remanded to the men and the executives for agreement.

that the 50 per cent extra goes on. Apply Same Principle. While this is a pronounced change, the old national agreement applied the same principle to a large class of maintenance of way employes. Under the old rules, the time and a half rate started after the tenth hour for laborers employed in extra or floating gangs whose employment is seasonal

and temporary. The board extends this principle to regular track hands. What the saving to the roads will be in dollars and cents none of the figure wrestlers is able to compute. Estimates placo it as low as $100,000 a month and as high as $500,000 a month, depending on the season, on the financial situation of the roads, and on the factor of general business depression or activity. It's a guess. Arguments in Case The, roads In their presentation to the labor board last year set forth that under normal conditions on most roads ten hours' work a day was required properly to maintain tracks. As things worked out, they stated, punitive rates after the eighth hour means that most of the roads were simply paying eleven hours' pay for ten hours'

work. During the slump period most of the overtime has been squeezed out. In normal times, so the roads argued, most track maintenance work must be performed in certain months on account of climate, while in certain months agriculture demands a large part of the common labor. One of labor's arguments has been that if the roads spread the maintenance work more effectively over the ear the eight hour day might be made actual. Too much stress has been laid on seasons, they have said, and punitive rates of time and a half for

ovetime have been advanced to nour-

Take Something Home with You this Christmas

ACK in the old days the Prodigal Son returned home emotv-handed. His soiourn awav

from the home nest hadn't been much of a success. He was mighty glad to fly back again even if he brought nothing with him but good wishes for the family. There are plenty of sons who will wander back to the home on Christmas. But the folks at home know these sons are not prodigals and they're looking for something more than a "Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas." If you are going home this Christmas take with you some useful gift as a centerpiece, a flower vase, a framed picture or a lamp. Your return will be appreciated all the more. ,: . . The best places to get these articles and many others are listed in the Christmas Gift Suggestions columns in the classified section today.
