CAL WORKERS OF ROAD
Chicago. 111.. May 31. An esti
mated $400,000,000 will be slashed
from the nation's railway wage bill
when an order cutting wages an av
erage of 12 per cent to be' handed
down tomorrow by the United States
railroad labor board becomes effec
tive July 1. The order affects mem
bers of thirty-one labor organiza
tions, employed on 104 railroads.
While the decision is specifically
applied only to the roads whose cas
es have been heard by the board,
the decision says it may later be ap
plied to any other road asking a hear
ing under provisions of the trans
portation act.
Percentages of reductions com
puted by members of the board gave
the average of 12 per cent, and the
source estimated the annual reduc
tion in wages at approximately $400,
000.000. The decision brought reductions
varying from 5 to 13 cents an hour
or from 5 to 18 per cent, and in the
case of section laborers, wiped out
the increase g'ranted them by the
$600,000,000 wage award of July 20.
1920. For section men the reduc
tion was approximately 18 per cent
or from $3.70 to $3.02 per day.

c-u. uy lur uuiiiu biuue n act lue a u-
vaqced wage scale more than ten
months ago.
The decision tomorrow will say
that since the 1920 wage award
there has been a decrease in the cost
of living and "the scale of wages for
similar kind. of work in other in
dustries has in general been de
creased." These two points were the
chief contention of the railroads.
Testimony was offered in the hear
ing, which began April IS and ended
May 16, to show reductions of 20 to
50 per cent in the cost of living.
Varying reductio'ns in wages, mostly
for common labor, were also cited
by the carriers. " The board be
lieves", the decision says, "that based
on the elements shown the decreas
es fixed are justified and required."
"Whatever may be said as to the
origin or contributing causes, there
has been and is a marked depression
in industry," the board says. "As a
result heavy financial losses have
been suffered, and many hundreds
of thousands thrown out of employ
ment and this loss of purchasing
power by Wiem has accelearted the
general depression by producing the
demand for the products they would
otherwise have purchased. While it
has been argued that the fall in
prices has not readied to any large
extent the consumer, it has without
question most disastrously reached
and affected the producers."
