Decision of Majority Mem bers of the Railroad Board is In Favor of a Pair and Equi table Seale of Wages for All 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.” Mr. Wharton’s dissenting opinion and the opinion in reply are attached the formal decision increasing the pay of maintenance ot way employes 2 cento an hour, establishing a mini ranging from 25 to 37 cento.
