Decision of Majority Mem
bers of the Railroad Board is
In Favor of a Pair and Equi

Workers.
(By Associated Press)
Chicago, 111., Oct 30.—The majority
members of the United States Rail
road Labor Board, In a decision to
day confirmed the assertifin that
just and reasonable’’ wage shall be the
basis of decisions In wage disputes
between carriers and employes.
Chicago, Oct. 30.—Attacking the
theory of “the living wage” as a basis
for determining wages of railroad
workers, the public and railroad
groups of the railway labor board ir
opinion made public last night de.
clarcd such a course "if carried to iti
legitimate conclusion, would wreck
railroad in the United States and
if extended to other industries would
carry them into communistic ruin.”
The opinion, in the form of a re
joinder to a dissenting opinion filed
by A. O. Wharton, labor member, in
the recent decision increasing tho
pay of maintenance of way employes
to an hoar, declared if employes
granted a 72 to 75 cents mini
wage for common labor with
corresponding differentials for other
kinds an increase in railroad wage
bill would become necessary.
Even if the 48-cent minimum wage
requested by maintenance ,of way
were granted and corresponding
differentials were made for other
classes of employes, the opinion said,
increase of 50.45 per cent, in
wages would be necessary, adding
$1,249,390,904 to the annual wage
bill of the roads, bringing it up to
$3,726,884,540, thus forcing the
carriers to face an annual deficit of
$378,078,125.
The phrase "living wage” was
termed in the opinion as "a bit of
mclifluous phraseology, well calculat-
to deceive the unthinking.”
'If the contentions were that the
board should establish a living wage”
the majority would reaaily accede to
the proposition,” the opinion said,
“and as a matter of fact the board in
this instance as in all others, has
granted a living wage. But the ab
stract, elusive thing called ‘the living
wage confessedly based upon a make
shift and a guess, cannot receive the
sanction of this board, because it
would be utterly impractical and
would not be just and reasonable as
the law demands.”
