New Working Rules
For Shop Crafts
Effective Dec. 1
Railway LnW Board An-
0
nounces Good Progress
Made on Drafting Nevr
Regulations.
TIT The AiKKlntrd frrt.
Chicago, Nov. 18. The United
Statei railroad labor board an
nounced tonight that new working
rule (or the six shop craft proli
. ablv will be completed and issued
In time to become ettcctive jJccem
l.cr 1.
Issuance of the rules, under a re
cent decision of the board, paves the
. way for consideration of requests
which may be filed by the roads for
revision of the shop craft wage
kchedulcs.
The new shop craft niles will z(-
fcrt approximately 800,000 men on
all class I railroads m t!ie country,
Onlv 94 railroads are directly con
cerned in the present case, the others
not having their submissions in
proper shape when the case was
taken up, but board members an
ticipate that all the class 1 railroads
probably will carry out the decision
without further hearings.
The board's statement issued .to
night said:
"Such satisfactory progress during
the past week has been made in the
i' c n si deration of rules and working
conditions for the six shop crafts
that it is altogether probable that
these rules will be completed and
will become effective December 1."
The board members pointed out
tonight that the new rules virtually
have been completed in less than
five months, while the national
agreement, which they supersede,
required the attention of railway,
government and labor representa
tives and experts seven months.
The board, it was indicated to
night, will next take tip the rules
and working conditions for the main
tenance of way employes.
There is a large number of dis
puted questions regarding these
rules already before the board, and
statisticians have prepared most of
the cases for presentation. -It is
probable that formulation of rules on
the disputed points affecting' this
class of employes will be more ex
peditious than was possible in the
shop crafts cases, because, accord
ing to board members, the questions
are less complex and do not invoh :
so many classes of labor.

New York, N'ov. 18, Emphatic
.Mir.mi-i! that the iron and Steel
manufacturers of the United States
arc toliitlv a lionet! with delegates to
the nrm conference in their etforts
to end wars, was given by Charles

After paying high tribute to tnc
marshal and telling him that in the
language of the grcatc.t of ports, he
had been "grappled to our souls with
hoops of steel," Mr, Schwab, who
is head of the Bethlehem Steel cor
poration, said:
"I would like to take advantage of
this occasion to say something which
has long been upon my heart and
which at this significant moment, it
is clearly my duty to say.
Expresses General Sentiment.
"It w as stated at t"mi sessions of
the recent league f nations meet
ing in Geneva, and it has often been
carelessly suggested in the press, that
tne name ot war i, in great measure,
kept alive by those intermted in the
private building of naval ships and
the manufacture of munitions of war.
I ran, of course, speak only (or my.
self, but 1 believe 1 know and ex
press the sentiments of others placed
in similar positions to mine when I
say this:
"I am at the head of the largest I
war materials manufacturing worka I
In the world. The ship yards of my
company build more nval ships than
ire built in any other yards under
one management in the I'nitcd
States, llut I have been thrillc I be
yond expression, as has every good
American, by that brilliant and
statesmanlike scheme laid before the
conference it Washington by Secre
tary Hughes. The carrying out of
that plan may involve great mone
tary fuss in some quarters, but such
a thing as financial loss Can be of no
considcr.it ion when compared to the
inestimable boon to mankind which
would be involved in the realization
of that magnificent plan,"
Behind Conference.
Mr. Schwab declared that should
the statesmen now as.eiiibled in
Washington find it nostilile to brim?
about disarmament anj permanent
peace, gladly would he see "th war.
making machinery of the Bethlehem
Steel corporation sunk to the bottom
oi the ocean.
'Nothing could contribute more to
the ultimate tmj permanent prosper
ity and happineas of the world, he
added, "ilisn the conclusion of '
aKrerment Umtni the great nation
of 111 world hich would eliminate
war and the causes of war, and so
let us say to the men gathered at
Washington, W it go out from this
gathering of turn of the steel and
iron b'tiiktry, that we are solidly
liehin l every effort they ran make
which will hasten the coming of the
time when war shall be no more."
