Attorney. 3-4t-790-7537 AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR THE SWITCHMEN Award Made by Federal Hoard of Ar bitration Forty Cent I than lO-Hour Wage An eight-hour day, an increase in wages of 5 cents an hour and straight pro rata overtime was granted to the me:ibers of t he switchmen's union, employed by thirteen eastern and middle-western railroads In an award filed in New York city recent ly by the federal board of arbitra tion that heard their differences. The decision of the board has been eag erly awaited by the railroads tn gen eral and the four major brother hoods of railroad trainmen for what bearing it might have on the contro versy between them over the Adam son act, in which the eight-hour day is a question at issue. The decision says that "eight hours shall constitute a day's work," gives "an increase of 5 cents an hour on the present rates of pay," and rules that "overtime shall be paid at pro rata rates," to be computed "on the basis of the actual minutes work ed." What the Men Are J ranted Switchmen at presort receive a maximum hour rate of 40 cents. The award Increases this rate to 45 cents, so that, as explained by Judge C. B. Howry, chairman of the board, on the eight-hour basis they will receive $3.50 for a day's work, 40 cents less than they received unde r the ten hour basis. By working ten hours under the new rate they will receive TffflrBHEsniyar may am a Bronchitis orTonsilitis The irritating, tickling couch fleets 'the lung tissue and wears down nature's power to resist disease germs. suppresses the cold, allays the in flammation, steadily removes the irritation and rebuilds the resistive power to prevent lung trouble.

In a statement appended to th vard by Judge Howry and l'ro, : : "' -. V.n iu!-" 'embi-rs of tne tionrd of rlx. It is de lict Dial the long liour.-t of switch Mi do not imply "excessive physical lor;" that It has been established it will not be possible to make the tual working eight-hour day effect ve In the case of more than a small percentage ot the switching crews" and that "with tho exception of one experiment the testimony was unan imous to the effect that the efficiency of switchmen on tho shorter work day would be only slightly Increased, no that .the burden of the shorter hours would fall almost entirely up on the railroads." "Whllo the switchmen asked for a 10-cent increase, tho statement em phaslzes the point that the 5-cent ad' vance is the largest given In any ar bit ration. The Increase was grant ed, the neutral arbitrators explain because of the high cost of living and the "hazards and hardships of the work." Impose Iliirdcn on I toad m "Tho Increase," they state, "Im poses a heavy burdon upon the rail roads, which owing to the Interstate .0111:1 erce law, they are unable to transfer to the shippers and thence to the public." They add that "It Is the duty of ihe properly constituted govern mental authorities to protect railway interest In this regard, so far as It is necessary." The arbitrators were not unani mous in arriving at their decision all ho all six signed the award. James B. Connors of Chicago, usslstaul president of the switchmen's union, and W. A. Titus of Cleveland, vice president of the union, who repre sented the switchmen on the board, filed a minority report, " dissenting from the awards of the 6 cents an hour increase and the pro rata over time. E. K. I'otter of Minneapolis assistant general manager of the Mlneapolis, St. I'oul & Sault Sta. Marie railway, and T. W. Evans, as sistant general manager of the New ork Central, representing the rail roads, aflo filed a minority report dissenting to the eight-hour grant. The board held its first meeting November 13, lust. Public hearings were held from that date to Decern ber 8 and 1,496 pages of testimony were taken. The original agree ment to arbitrate provided for tiling the award within thirty days from the date of the first hearing. When the board found it could not live up to the agreement, a supplemental one was drawn up extending the time to December 20. Just about that time the differences between the members were still so great, It was learned, that another extension was arranged expiring Saturday. The award makes no mention of the date the new wage scale becomes effective, but It Is suggested by rail road officials that It would apply at once. Hours of Switchmen Too Ijong "Much emphasis has been laid up on the fact that the hours of work of switchmen are often long," says a statement by Arbitrators Howry una Jenke, attached to the award. "Al tho the standard work day has been ten hours, frequently the men have worked from eleven to twelve and sometimes even longer."" It Is Biild on hehilf of the railroad: that the award was interpreted b i he in as "not giving an O. K. to tit Ada'iison law." "This decision In the switchmen's controversy with the railroads has an Important bearing on the Adamson law," It was slated by an oUlcial spokesman for the conference com mittee of managers of arilroads. "It does not O. K. the Adamson act In our opinion. The Adamson legislation gave the men ten hours' pay for eight hours of work or an Increase of about 25 per cent iu wages. The recent award gives the switchmen only nine hours' pay for eight hours of work or between 13 and 16 per cent increase in wage. We get a great deal of satisfaction out of this award." lU'iiiove Fate lilcniUhes Pimples, Blackheads.
