'CLERKS TO SUFFER MOST
355,000 Additional Employes
Are to Be Affected by Order and
Total Cutis $150,000,000.
CHICAGO, June 12. (By the
Associated Press.) Wage reduc
tions estimated at not Exceeding
$40,000,000 for 350.000 additional
railway employes, whose wages the
carriers seek to lower through the
railroad labor board, are expected
to Issue from the hoard within
few days to be effective July 1.
The new decision will make a total
of approximately $150,000,000 to be
cut from the annual pay rolls of
the roads. .
The bulk of those whom the new
cut will hit are railway clerks, who
number approximately 200,000. Thjeir
pay, it was said today, would not be
cut more than 5 cents an , hour,
however, and certain chief clerks
and other supervisory clerical
forces may not feel the order at
all. A
' Dispatcher Not Touched.
About 5000 train dispatchers, gen
erally considered as subordinate
officials, while coming under the
pending decision, ' will not suffer
any reduction, according to authori
tative information. Supervisory
officials in the shop crafts, whose

likewise receive no cuts.
Coal passers, oilers and water
tenders, including in - the general
classification of stationary engi
neers i and firemen and freight
handlers, and other common labor
included in the statm employes'
group, are expected to receive a
reduction of approximately five
cents an hour, the same cut applied
to common labor in the maintenance
of way department. There are

D. W. Helt, president of the eignal
