ORDERS PAY CUT
ON 210 ROADS
Federal Rail Labor Board Do
crees 12 Per Cent Reduc-.
tion on All Big Lines.
(SAVING OF $400,000,000
New Wage Schedule Effective July 1
All Class 1 Employees Hit by
New Ruling Unions Expect
ed to Accept It.
I Chicago, June 20. Tlio United
jBtntos railroad Inbor board extended
Its wage reduction order, effective
'July 1, to practically every largo rail
'rond In the country. No chango from
'the average 12 per cent reduction
Igrnnted 101 curriers on June 1 wns
made by tlio decision. The board's
order covers 210 rouds.
The now wogo decision of the Uni
ted States railroad labor board will
make a reality of tho estimated $400,
000,000 nnnunl savings expected when
the board's 12 per cent cut, effective
July 1, Is applied to all employees on
nil railroads known as clnbs 1 enr
rlcrs. The decision, drawn up as an
addendum to tho wage reduction order
of Juno 1, was mado public here.
It ndds practically every railroad In
class 1 division to the original list of
104 ronds authorized to make tlio 12
per cent reduction.
When tho reduction order was Is
sued, It was estlmutcd that, If applied
to all employees on nil class 1 roads,
It would lop approximately $100,000,
000 from tho country's rnllrond labor
bill. The now decision will mnlco this
cut possible, by ordering reduced
wages for employees not Included In
tlio original case.
While no definite returns have been
unnounced from the referendum being
taken by all the railway unions on
acceptance or rejection of tho 12 per
cent cut, It was expected that confer
ences hero on July 1 would agree to
accept tho board's decision without
any Interruption of tralllc.
