EDITION
VOL. XXVI, No. 103
é—IICAGO, August 22 —The Unit
ed States railroad labor board, Fri
day, upheld the principle of time and
half overtime for all railroad shop
men after an eight-hour day.
The board also granted time and a
half of all shopmen on Sundays and
holidays, and “penalizes” the rail
roads for Sunday work, except where
such Sunday work is “absolutely es
sential.”
The decision upholds seven of the
most important working rules of the
national working agreements grant
ed shopmen during federal adminis
tration of the railroads, but greatly
modified other working rules, bitter
ly objected to by the carriers,
While the decision is considered
a sweeping victory for the employ
as regards overtime, the railroads
won many points in the modification
of the rules, and A, O, Wharton, la
bor member of the board, filed the
first dissenting opinion on a decision
by the body, /
The decision holds that:
1, Work performed on Sundays
and legal holidays by shopmen shall
be paid for at the rate of time and
a half overtime, except for opera
tion of power houses, millwright
gangs, train yards and other crews
regularly assigned to Sunday work
They will be paid regular week day
time, '
2. After eight hours’ work on
week days overtime will be paid at!
the rate of time and a half..
3. Employes required to work dur
ing any period of the lunch hour
will be allowed one hour, ‘
4, Employes called from regular
work at shops for emergency work
on the road will be paid from the
time they leave the shop, i
5. Employes sent from shops to
fill vacancies at any point will be
paid hourly from time they leave
the shops, :
6. The eight-hour-day is given full
recognition. ;
The seven rules of the shop crafts’
national agreement, for which sub
stitutes were promulgated by the
railroad labor board today, all apply
to overtime payment, The general
rule, amplified for particular in
stances by other rules, follows:
“Rule 6, All over time.....outside:
of bulletin hours, up to and including
the sixteen hour of service in any|
one 24 hour period,.....shall be paid
for at the rate of time and bne-half)
and thereafter at the rate of double
time, up to the starting time of the
employe’s regular shift, This to in
clude work performed on Sundays,{:
New Year’s day, Washington’s birth-l
day, Decoration day, Fourth of ]uly,!
Labor day, Thanksgiving day, Christ
mas and such state holidays as are
now recognized as punitive overtime
days.”
Rule 7 sets minimum overtime
payments providing that one hour’s
pay shall be made for 40 minutes or
less service if the service is contin
uous after regular working hours.
“Employes called or required to re
turn to work will be allowed 5 hours
for 3 hours and 20 minutes’ service
or less.”
Employes who work during the
lunch hour receive pay for one hour
straight time under rule 9 but are
allowed necessary time for lunch
without loss of pay for the time
taken,
Under rule 10, employes called for
emergency service road work are
paid straight time and overtime for
the first 24 hours “whether working,
waiting or traveling.” After 24
hours, they are not paid if relieved
and permitted to go to bed for 5
hours or more, “Where meals and
lodging are not provided by the rail
road, actual expenses will be al
fowed ”
Employes called to fill temporary
vacancies at outlying points under
rule 12, are paid as follows:
“Continuous time from time called
up to time of reporting at point to
which sent, overtime rates for all
overtime hours, and straight time
for the recognized straight time

ATLANTA, Aug 19th— Showers
were very frequent during the week
in all divisions and there is almost
general complaint of too much rain,
except in the southwest where there
was more sunshine and in a number
of northern counties where drought
had prevailed, Temiperatures have
not been very high. Cotton has not
improved materially; although it has
in many counties a large weed, it is
not fruiting well, and there is evidence
that ther will be but a poor top crop;
there is considerable shedding on ac
count of excessive moisture, and the
damage by the boll weevil of course
continues; cotton is opening up to the
central portions of the State and
picking is progressing slowly, but
will probably become general by the
of August,
Corn is good, edpecially the late
crop; harvesting early matured corn
is under way and fodder pulling con
tinues, Late tobacco has been in
jured by excessive moisture, Plant
ing the fall crop of white potatoes is
progressing. Locally in the south
east sweet potatoes have been injured
by too much rain, but generally the
crop is very good; digging continues,
Peanuts are doing well ,though suffer
ing from too much moisture; early
peanuts are being gathered, Sugar
cane, sorghum, rice, velvet beans and
field peas are all good, Late vege
tables did well. Pastures and hay
crops are very good, Watermelons
are ripening in most northern coun
ties and are good and abundant, The
Planting of fall truck and plowing for
winter cereals is progressing,
C. F, Von Hermann, Meteorologist,
Dr, George Fussell and Mr, Ed
ward Fussell have returned to At

ously from the time of leaving the
home station to the time of return.
Rule 15 specifies that employes
paid on a monthly basis shall be paid
“not less than the minimum hourly
rate established for the correspond

the provisions of this schedule, on
the basis of 365 eight-hour days per
calendar year, with pay at the rate

“LEADER OF QUALITY AND LOW PRICE”
Army Of Unemployed ‘
Smaller Every Day‘
Number of Workers Are Rapidly
Increasing in All Industries .
ATLANTA, August 22 —Business
agencies in Atlanta come forward to
day with what they say are “some
cheering facts” in that reports from
twenty-eight | representative cities
throyghout the country show there
is an appreciable gain in the number
of workers,
Increased empioyment was shown
in railway repair shops, automobile
plants textile mills and in the lum
ber, leather, tobacco, paper and
printing industries,
Particularly marke@ was the im
petus to building operations. Scarce
ly a region but reported considerable
if not extensive construction with a
prospect of larger developments in
the month ahead,
All this is heartening, according to
Atlanta business men, and the more
so, they say, since it comes in the?
midsummer lull, Conditions, they
show, do not warrant excessive en
thusiasm, but they support sober
confidence in the approaching fu
\ture,
The Atlanta postoffice and its cen
tral branch in the Peachtree Arcade,
while not giving out official figures,
show that previous records are being
broken in postal receipts—a striking
evidence of increased business\growth
in the state capital. .

Federal Officers Seek |
o
To Find Draft Dodgers
ATLANTA, Aug 22—United States
deputy marshalls are busy at the pres
ent time endeavoring to serve more
than 300 'warrants, charging viola
tion of the selective service law, which
have been issued during the past two
weeks. Attaches o the United States
district attorneys office have been
busy for several weeks filing bills
of criminal information -against al
leged violators of the seclective serv
ice law, and the warrants were issued
on these bills,
Federal officials stated that a large
per centage of the warrants were di
rected against offenders who failed
to return the questionairres sent them
by the draft boards, In a number of
cases which have already been investi
gated, it is said the men who failed
to return the uestionairres did so be
cause the paper never reached them,
One case has just came to light,
in which a negro voluntarily reported‘
at the marshall’s office, stating that
he had heard there was warrant issued
against him, He told the officers that
he had been living at the same place
since 1916 and could not understand
why he failed to receive a question
naire.
A large number of the cases against
the alleged offenders will never be
prosecuted, it was stated by officials,
because of the fact that in many in
stances the men are found to have
entered the service voluntarily before
the questionnaires were mailed them,
