" m uir'- 1 By JACK ROHAN. ( li ! Trtbime-OmhB Bra lHKd Wire, ' Chicago. Feb. 3. With a final ap peal to the United States railway labor wage board to "save them from bankruptcy" by abrogating the na tional shop crafts agreements, the railroads today closed, their case, after having considered in detail nearly 800 rules which govern the re lations of shop . employes to their employers., t t- ? : , ;, The board went into executive ses sion and will continue to hold exec utive sessions until Monday, when B. M. Jewell ? will , present 'the union's side ot the controversy. When .Jewell concludes his statement the railroads will present their rebuttal. An early decision then is expected fom the board. ' What was regarded as one of the most important developments of the day was the stand taken by a rep reseatative group of manufacturers and bankers who, at a meeting be hind, closed doors discussed ways ana means for getting the railroads back on their fect. A tentative plan for alleviation "of the railroads troubles was con sidered and among its salient fea tures were: Speeding up of congressional ac tion so that the railroads can get :hc money due them since thedays of government control. Abrogation of the shop agreements to such an extent that the railroads will at least have the same oppor tunity in a competitive labor market which other extensive employers of labor have. ? Readjustment of freight and pas senger tariffs so that the roads can get t volume of business large enough to sustain them. . 4 . Readjustment of wages based on decease in the cost of living, this to be gradual and come only as livinsr costs fall. The ' railroad presidents made it plain that they were "prepared to go the limit to get the following concessions from the labor board: .
