RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

OVERTIME EXTRA PAY AND EIGHT-HOUR DAY BEFORE RAIL BOARD fRv Associated Press) I CHICAGO, Jan. 10 Extra pay forlR. overtime work and the eight-hour day' j were the principal points sought by railroad clerks in controversies over the rules of the clerks' national agreement which were up for consideration j by the United States Railroad Labor j board today. The board expected to complete its draft of new rules within two week3 and promulgation of a new set of rules to replace the agreement made under federal control is looked for by February. ' Eight rules of the old agreement affect the clerks' pay and these rules j have been the subject of the greatest disagreement in negotiations during the last few months. Like the national agreements of other groups of railroad employes, the clerks' agreement was ordered replaced by new rules which the board directed the employes and the carriers to draw up by agreement. The disagreements resulting from such negotiations were referred to the board. Submit Disagreements Forty-four roads submitted disagreements on Rule 57, calling for time and one-half pay after eight hours work, which the clerks wish continued. Eight roads have agreed with their clerks to pay pro rata time after eight hour3, 1 but other carriers are asking no extra I pay for the ninth hour, pro rata fori the tenth, and time and one-half only: after 10 hours. j The large majority of carriers desire to abolish time and one-half for Sunday and holiday work, also, except after 10 hours. Monthly and weekly bases of pay are sought by about two-thirds of the roads involved as opposed to a daily rate basis which the employes ask to be continued. Another rule which the employes ask to be retained provides three hours pay for two hours work for calls, and time and one-half thereafter when the full weekly assignment of hours has not been worked. The roads seek elimination of any punitive payment under this rule. Half Roads Agree. Another rule specifying time and one-half for work done before and after the regular work period was agreed to be only half of the roa4s ' . ..: : .j ; . kAn.j 'T' l. carriers who could not agree to this rule desire to pay only pro-rata pay for work continuous to the regular assignment. The eight-hour day, provided by rule 48 has been agreed to by 25 carriers but 29 roads objected to certain features of the rule. The main objection Mas in its application, especially in the case of men having light or intermittent employment. Other carriers ask a nine or 10-hour day. A large majority of roads indicated their desire to pay a straight monthlysalary for all services in such cases of intermittent work. This would eliminate all overtime and would apply mainly to agents at small stations where the train service is infrequent; to gatemen, announcers, train crew callers and" similar employes. Seek Elimination Elimination of personal office forces, usually chief clerks and stenographers from jurisdiction of the agreement is sought by most of the roads. This, question -has come up in several cases already heard by the board. The decision in each instance was that there was no distinction between such employes and the general group of clerks. Other important rules in dispute are those governing seniority and promotion. Employes in some cases seek to have seniority the sole requirement, disregarding fitness or ability. A number of carriers brought special objection to placing men in such positions as cashier or rate clerk merely because of seniority, claiming that inexperienced men would be detrimental to the service. In the case of rules agreed to by a railroad and its employes, those rules will be effective, superseding the corresponding rules of the national agreement. The rules disagreed on will be replaced by those drawn up by the board. W. C. T. U. DISCUSSES LAW ENFORCEMENT A program on law enforcement was presented at the meeting of the Frances E. Willard W. C. T. U. held on Monday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. It is announced by the union that a representative from its organization will attend all city council meetings.

Plans for the year's work were outlined and every member pTedged herself to use only non-alcholic flavoring extracts. I One new member was taken into' the union. The entire membership, it is reported will attend the federation luncheon with their guests on Jan. 16. LEAVE OUT POLITICS IN ROAD WORK, JONES W. O. Jones, superintendent of Wayne county highways, spoke on the need for elimination of politics in road work at Liberty Tuesday afternoon. First class machinery, a good patrol system, and attendance at a road school were among the other points stressed by him. Taxpayers of Union county are making efforts to get greater efficiency in the expenditure of their money and for this reason they invited Mr. Jones to attend their meeting to give them the benefit of his experience. C. J. Luellen. of Henry county, superintendent of roads there was a guest of Mr. Jones in Richmond, earlier in the day.
