PREFACE.
In devising a plan for the compilation of an index-digest of the Railroad
Labor Board decisions, two different methods were considered; one is the so-
called law digesting method, in which the analyses of statutes or of reported
cases are grouped in alphabetical order of subjects with analytic subdivisions,
so as to avoid the necessity of an accompanying index, which appeals to the
practiced researcher; the other is the plan used herein of making a brief synop-
sis of the principal points decided and listing the cases numerically in the
order of their appearance, the location of each case being dependent upon a
specially classified index properly preceding the digest, thus being especially
adapted to the use of the layman.
The index to this book is intended to supply the reader with a key to the
questions or principles in which he is interested, and the digest is expected to
provide a synopsis sufficient to determine the applicability of the decision to the
subject under consideration. With this object in view, a comprehensive index
has been prepared to direct the reader to all preceding cases of a similar char-
acter, while the summary in each case brings out only the principal points in-
volved, being made as brief as permissible and citing the complete decision at
the conclusion of each digest.
It is expected that those who desire to use a particular case as a guide or a
precedent will avail themselves of the original text of the published decisions, as
in most of the digests principles can not be stated in the exact language used
in the original decisions and therefore can not have the same force and effect
when used for citation purposes.
The basal arrangement of this publication follows the simplest and most
natural construction with a view to segregating the contents into special parts
and thus obtaining the greatest amount of practical utility. Four principal sub-
divisions have been adopted, as follows:
Part 1. Cumulative index classified by subjects.
Part 2. Cumulative digest of decisions and regulations.
Part 3. Cumulative list of parties to disputes.
Part 4. Cumulative list of dockets and cases disposed of.
The first part comprises, a cumulative index and an explanatory preface
thereto which it is believed will be helpful to the researcher; it also contains a
table of main classifications the study of which is essential to the location of
any given subject. The second part consists of cumulative digests, each of
which has been assigned a reference number. This reference number is used
in the scheme of indexing instead of the usual page reference, and inasmuch
as the number corresponds to the original decision number of the case digested
it serves as a key for locating the original decision in the annual publications
of the Board. The third part gives a cumulative list of carriers and organiza-
tions listed separately in alphabetical order and followed by the number of the
particular decision in which a carrier or organization is named as a party. The
fourth part presents a cumulative list of dockets and cases disposed of-the
docket and case numbers are those used in the filing department of the Railroad
Labor Board-listed in numerical order so they may be readily located by those
who know the file number of the case but have no knowledge of the decision
number assigned.
This publication covers the period from April 16, 1920, the date of the or-
ganization of the Board, to July 1, 1923, and includes an index-digest of De-
cisions Nos. 1 to 1870, inclusive, regulations of the Railroad Labor Board, and
court and administrative decisions and regulations of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in respect to Title III of the Transportation Act, 1920.

CUMULATIVE INDEX TO DECISIONS AND REGULATIONS
(TO JULY 1, 1923)

EXPLANATORY INTRODUCTION TO INDEX.
:
As stated in the preface to this volume, the cumulative index to decisions and
regulations is intended to supply the researcher with the initial key to the
cases in which he is interested, and an explanation of its construction is there-
fore deemed advisable.
The scheme of indexing used has been constructed with a view to employing
main classifications and principal parts thereof most consistent with practical
utility and necessary separation, which method allows most subjects to be
placed under a single and natural classification.
66 Rules
It is quite obvious, of course, that such all-inclusive classifications as
and working conditions" must necessarily be divided into principal parts
And, in turn, division must be made of such principal parts of main classifica-
tions as "Application of rules governing working conditions," since it would
be too extensive unless some of its principal components-namely, "Discipline,"
Representation of employees," Seniority rights," etc.-were assigned pri-
mary places in the main classification. Where necessary separations have been
made, the components designated as main classifications are noted under the
dominant classification for reference.
66
With but few exceptions, the main classifications and their principal parts
have been uniformly subdivided into secondary parts, indicated by colon lines,
which consist of standardized groups of employees, and they are listed here for
convenient reference and preliminary study.
Clerical and station forces.
Dining-car and restaurant employees.
Dispatching-service employees.
Engine-service employees.
Express employees.
Maintenance-of-way and unskilled forces.
Pullman-car employees.
Shop employees.
Signal-department employees.
Stationary-engine and boiler-room employees.
Steamboat employees.
Supervisory forces.
Telegraph-service employees.
Train-service employees.
Yard-service employees.
The main classifications not having the above subdivisions, as will be noted
by examing the index, are those relating to Railroad Labor Board decisions,
Railroad Administration orders, and similar subjects, which are subdivided
by their respective decision or order numbers and not by groups of employees,
for the reason that such numbers are the most natural subdivisions and the gen-
erally recognized references.
The secondary parts, or so-called colon lines, wherever permissible have been
further divided into groups of appropriate subjects, and such subjects or the
minuter details thereof direct the inquirer to the object of his search.
The following table shows the main classifications used in this index:

Claim of employees that certain positions in the office of the auditor of
merchandise receipts-the duties of which have been materially changed-
should be bulletined and employees holding same be permitted to exer-
cise their seniority rights under the rules of the clerks' national agree-
ment, the contention of the employees being that the employees involved
in this dispute held positions of rate revision clerks and that the change
in the character of the work coustituted an abolishment of these posi-
tions and the establishment of new positions of correspondence clerks.
Decided: That the positions held by employees in this dispute were not
abolished and the action taken by the carrier was not in violation of any
rule of the clerks' national agreement. Claim of employees is therefore
denied. (Decision No. 740.)

worker, who held seniority over men retained in the service, in reduction
of its forces at Kingston, N. Y. Decided: That since it is agreed that em-
ployee is classified and rated in accordance with the shop craft's agreement,
that but one seniority roster of this class of work was kept at Kingston
and that employee in question held seniority over certain men who were
retained, and inasmuch as no distinction was made in the agreement be-
tween the different classes of service of sheet-metal workers, employee was
entitled to a trial in one of the positions in which men younger in the
service were retained and shall be paid for the period out of service. (De-
cision No. 768.)

ticle V, of the maintenance of way national agreement, based on a 10-hour

intermittent service performed in excess of his regular assignment? The
carrier claims that employee has been properly compensated according to
section a-12, Article V, of the agreement. Decided: That position of the
carrier is sustained, the evidence indicating that the duties of the position
in question are not such as to place employee on an hourly basis in ac-
cordance with the exception contained in the last paragraph of said section.

paid at the rate shown for baggagemen in paragraph (a), Article I, of
the conductors' and trainmen's agreements. The former practice of having

Shop Laborers v. Illinois Central Railroad Co. (III, R. L. B., 177.)
Question as to whether foremen and laborers at coal chutes shall be
covered by the maintenance of way agreement. Decided: That while the
maintenance of way agreement did not specifically mention foremen and
laborers at coal chutes, information in the possession of the Labor Board
indicates that practically all carriers recognized and applied that agree-
ment to this class of employees. Therefore foreman (refers only to fore-
man in charge of laborers) and laborers at coal chutes should have been
considered as coming under the provisions of the maintenance of way
agreement. (Decision No. 777.)

interested parties and where it is found that an employee senior in

Dispute as to right of train dispatcher to return to position on division

800a. Brotherhood Railroad Signalmen of America v. New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad Co. (HI, R. L. B., 193.)
Claim that employee classified and rated as signal maintainer should
be reclassified and rated as leading maintainer. Decided: That employee
in question is not a leading maintainer within the meaning and intent
of the agreement between the carrier and its signal department em-
ployees, and claim of employees is therefore denied. (Decision No. 800.)
801a. Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen of America v. Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad Co. (HI, R. L. B., 194.)
Controversey as to seniority rights of employee accepting supervisory
position. Decided: That appointment to the position of signal super-
visor did not constitute a temporary appointment and that continuity of
service with the carrier was not disturbed thereby; that as a result
of being demoted he is entitled to the position of signal maintainer by
displacing signal maintainer having the least seniority rights on the
senority district. (Decision 801.)
802a. American Federation of Railroad Workers v. Boston & Maine Rail-
road. (III, R. L. B., 196.)
Dispute in regard to seniority rights of employee who bid for and
accept temporary position of car inspector but who refuse to bid on
position when adversited as permanent, the carrier taking the position
that the East Fitchburg shops and Fitchburg station are two separate
points and that under rule 31 of the national agreement covering shop-
men employee lost his seniority at the shops when he took the position
at the station. Decided: That inasmuch as the position of car in-
spector at Fitchburg station was advertised as temporary" it is reason-
able to assume that employee accepted the position with that undertsand-
ing, and should therefore not have been denied seniority at Fitchburg
shops; that he shall be restored to his seniority rating at said shops and
compensated to the extent of any wage loss suffered, less amount earned
in other employment. (Decision No. 802.)
803a. American Federation of Railroad Workers v. Pennsylvania System.
(III, R. L. B., 197.)
Claim of carpenter who was laid off in reduction of force to rein-
statement in accordance with his alleged seniority. Decided: At oral
hearing of this dispute employees stated they would again handle the
matter with the carrier in an effort to reach a satisfactory agreement.
This docket will therefore be closed without prejudice to the right of either
party to again bring the matter to the attention of the Board. (Decision
No. 803.)
804a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers v. Michigan Central Railroad Co. (HII, R. L. B., 197.)
Dispute regarding right of assistant roadmaster, whose position was dis-
continued, to displace section foreman at Frederick, Mich. Decided: That
the employee's appointment to the position of assistant roadmaster did not
constitute a temporary appointment and the continuity of his service was not
disturbed thereby; that as a result of being demoted he is entitled to the
position of section foreman by displacing the junior foreman in the service
at the time of such demotion. (Decision No. 804.)
805a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway

806a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers v. Chicago & North Western Railway Co. (III, R. L.
B., 200.)
Claim of engine watchman, Montford, Wis., or adjustment in rates of pay
in accordance with section 8, Article III, of Decision No. 2, on an hourly
basis, the carrier contending such employee should be paid on a monthly
basis, as per section a-12 of Article V of the maintenance of way agree-
ment, which article provides that engine watchmen at isolated points whose
service is not continuous shall be paid a monthly rate to cover all service
rendered. Decided: That Decision No. 524 of the Labor Board shall be
followed in determining whether or not Montford is an isolated point; that
if, in accordance with Decision No. 524 it is proper to consider Montford
an isolated point, the carrier was justified in establishing a monthly rate
for the position in question which should have been predicated upon the
rate of pay and assignment in effect at the time such change was made;
that if section a-12, Article V, of the agreement does not apply, the hourly
rate shall be reestablished upon the basis of what the hourly rate would have
been had the monthly rate not been established. (Decision No. 806.)

Shop Laborers v. Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Co. (III,

808a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers v. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co. (III, R.

Should crossing watchman, paid a monthly rate under section a-12,
Article V, of the maintenance of way agreement, be paid overtime at
pro rata rate for ninth and tenth hours and time and one-half thereafter
for all time worked in excess of his regular monthly assignment? De-
cided: That section a-12 of Article V provided for the establishment of a
monthly rate to cover all service rendered. The Board does not construe
the language of this rule to prohibit the temporary assignment of em-
ployees covered thereby to longer hours in case of emergency, though this
decision should not be construed to permit the assignment of employees to
longer hours for any considerable period of time without the payment of
overtime therefor, and in no case unless an emergency exists. (Decision
No. 808.)
809a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers v. Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway Co. (III,
R. L. B., 203.)
De-
Claim of track laborers to position of temporary track foreman.
cided: That in view of the fact that employee in question was credited
with less than six months' service record at the time the promotion com-
plained of took place, the Board is of the opinion that the question of
seniority had no bearing upon the case; that the Board can not find that
the carrier has violated the rules of the agreement in this particular case
and the claim of the employees is therefore denied. (Decision No. 809.)

has no application to this dispute and the case is removed from the docket

press and Station Employees v. American Railway Express Co. (III,

the work in connection with reduction in force, and the request for re-
instatement by employees is therefore denied. However, when the force
in the seniority district in which this employee worked is increased he shall

That the service performed by employees classified as train directors, gate-

tion bureau clerks and telephone information clerks and foremen should

ing the work of grease cup filling and who were previously classified and
rated as machinist helper shall be privileged to exercise their seniority
as machinist helpers, this decision predicated entirely upon the par-
ticular question in dispute and shall not be considered as interpreting
or affecting rules agreed upon between any carrier and its employees.

1582a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers v. Chicago & North Western Railway Co. (IV, R. L. B.,
91.)
Dispute with reference to proper classification and rating of certain
employees of the carrier operating drawbridge at Oshkosh, Wis. Decided:
Inasmuch as positions in question were classified and rated as levermen in
accordance with Interpretation 10 to Supplement 13 to General Order
No. 27 of the United States Railroad Administration, on which basis these
men were paid until February 15, 1922, no change should have been made
in the rates of pay for such positions except in the manner provided in
principle 7, Exhibit B, Decision No. 119, and in the transportation act,
1920; that it is the recommendation of the board that a conference be held
between the interested parties to definitely determine the duties of these
positions and an effort made to agree upon a classification and rating
therefor. (Decision No. 1582.)

Shop Laborers v. Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway Co.; West Side
Belt Railroad Co. (IV, R. L. B., 93.)
Request for reinstatement of laborer laid off in force reduction while
younger men in service were retained. Decided: That the carrier did not
violate the meaning and intent of the agreement then in effect in relieving
employee in question from the position occupied, account of his age and
physical condition, but it is recommended that when the forces are in-
creased he be reemployed in some line of work that he may be capable
of performing. (Decision No. 1583 )

Shop Laborers v. St. Louis & Hannibal Railway Co. (IV, R. L. B., 94.)

fore such changes are made. (Decision No. 1584.)
1585a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers v. New York Central Railroad Co. (IV, R. L. B., 96.)
Claim for machinists' rate of pay for certain work performed by bridge
and building carpenters. Decided: Based upon evidence submitted in this
particular case, the claim of employees is denied, but the decision shoull
not be construed as permitting the assignment of carpenters to work classi-
fied as that of machinists or sheet-metal workers at a lower rate of pay
than established for those crafts. (Decision No. 1585.)
1586a. United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers v. Great Northern Railway Co. (IV, R. L. B., 98.)

Freight Handlers v. Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. (IV, R. L. B.,
100.)
Dispute as to classification and rating of employee of the carrier now
classified and paid as grease cup filler. Decided: That rule 64 of Adden-
dum 6 to Decision No. 222 outlines the work which shall be paid for at
machinist helper's rate, which rule omits reference to grease cup filling,
and the carrier is therefore justified in taking the position that the work
outlined as being performed by this employee does not come within the
scope of the work of machinist helper. (Decision No. 1587.)

occupies. (Decision No. 1589.)

Freight Handlers v. Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. (IV, R. L. B.,

Dispute with reference to classification and rating of certain employees
of the carrier now classified and paid as grease cup fillers. Decided:
That rule 64 of Addendum 6 to Decision No. 222 makes no reference to
lubricator filling, and the carrier is therefore justified in taking the position
that the work outlined as being performed by these employees does not
come within the scope of the work of machinist helpers. (Decision
No. 1590.)

1e. Wendele v. Union Pacific Railroad Co. et al. (I, R. L. B., 95.)
Employees of common carriers in the State of Kansas failed to reach an
adjustment of a wage dispute with the carrier, and thereupon referred the
disagreement to the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations. The carriers
demurred, claiming that the court had no jurisdiction; that such disputes
must be adjusted under the transportation act, 1920; and that they were
willing to submit the dispute to the Railroad Labor Board created by
said aet. The court held that the Kansas law does not conflict with the
Federal law, but may be supplementary to it, and proceeded to issue an
order fixing minimum wages for various classes of labor, effective July 1
1920, but applicable only to residents of the State of Kansas. (Kansas
Court of Industrial Relations. Docket No. 3293.)

2e. Gregg v. Stark. (I, R. L. B., 104.)
Two conductors employed by a common carrier in the State of Kentucky
claimed the right to a certain run and the dispute was submitted to and
decided by the Railway Board of Adjustment No. 1, created by the Rail-
road Administration. The adversely affected conductor applied to the
Kentucky Court of Appeals for an injunction and questioned the validity
of the Adjustment Board's decision. The court decided that the Adjust-
ment Board had no jurisdiction because the dispute arose subsequent to
Federal control; that the case did not involve interstate commerce, but
was essentially a private dispute; and that the transportation act, 1920,
had no provision for a single individual to obtain relief from the Labor
Board created thereunder. The State court, therefore, took jurisdiction
and decided the dispute contrary to the Adjustment Board.

3e. Mahoney et al. v. Washington & Old Dominion Railway. (I, R. L. B., 109.)
A number of employees were discharged by the Washington & Old
Dominion Railway because of their membership in the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, and the employees brought proceedings in equity to
restrain the carrier from discharging further employees pending a decision
by the Labor Board. Answer filed by the carrier denied the jurisdiction
of the Labor Board, claiming to be an interurban or suburban electric
railway not operating as a part of a general steam railroad system of
transportation, but substantially admitted the dismissl of employees be-
cause of their membership in the labor union. The court held that the
carrier comes within the purview of Title III of the transportation act,
1920, but denied the request for an order restraining the carrier from dis-
charging its employees pending a hearing and decision of their claims by
the Labor Board. This denial was based on the ground that the carrier
had a right to dismiss its employees for becoming members of the labor
union. (Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Equity No. 38189.)
4e. St. Louis Union Trust Co. v. Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad Co. (II,
R. L. B., 623.)
K
The receiver appointed by the court to operate the Missouri & North
Arkansas Railroad Co. filed a petition asking for advice relative to con-
tinuing the scale of wages fixed by direction of the United States Rail-
road Labor Board in its Decision No. 2, effective May 1, 1920. A statement
was filed showing that the carrier has been operating at a loss both be-
fore and since the receivership, and that money could no longer be borrowed
on receiver's certificates. The court held that, under these circumstances,
the wages of employees may be reduced below the scale fixed by the
Labor Board without subjecting the carrier to the penalty provided by
section 312 of the transportation act, 1920. (Ünited States District Court,
Eastern Division of Arkansas. 270 F. 796.)
5e. Birmingham Trust & Savings Co. v. Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Rail-
way Co. (II, R. L. B., 625.)
The Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railway, operated by a receiver
appointed by the court, claimed that the operating revenues were insuf-
ficient to pay operating expenses and meet future pay rolls, and that only
by reducing the wages and salaries could the receiver escape suspension
of operation. The court authorized the receiver to reduce wages and
salaries, and the question arose as to the jurisdiction of the United States
Railroad Labor Board with respect to wages. The court held that while
the Labor Board has jurisdiction over wages of receiver's employees,
the court has jurisdiction to determine whether receiver can pay current
wages, and that the carrier can not be compelled to operate at a continuous
loss. (United States District Court, Northern Division of Georgia. 271
F. 731.)
6e. Birmingham Trust & Savings Co. v. Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Rail-
way Co. (II, R. L. B., 634.)
A strike vote was taken on the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Rail-
way prior to the time the railroad went into the hands of a receiver, and
involved only a demand for decision by the United States Railroad Labor
DIGEST OF DECISIONS AND REGULATIONS.

When a re-
Board, which it had held itself without authority to make.
duction in wages was made effective a strike was called. The court held
that the refusal to work further, when summoned by the receiver, no
matter what the reason or justification, terminated the employ and forfeited
the standing of the employees with respect to their right to be heard
at the hearing to fix wages. Upon the question of the wages to be paid
in the future, the standard set by the Labor Board is to be taken as pre-
sumptively correct, and to be disturbed only so far as the condition of the
railroad demands. (United States District Court, Northern Division of
Georgia. 271 F. 743.)
7e. Pennsylvania Railroad Co. v. United States Railroad Labor Board et al.
(IV, R. L. B., ———.)
"
Suit brought by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. to enjoin the Railroad
Labor Board from functioning as a board and from exercising the asserted
right to control the method of selection of employees' representatives, the
carrier contending the transportation act, 1920, gives the board no right,
on ex-parte submission or on its own motion, to proceed under the pro-
visions of said act. The court held that the act providing for a Federal
Labor Board is valid, but that such Board is only authorized to hear dis-
putes on failure of conferees to agree and joint reference by the parties;
that the Board is without power to intervene in a proceeding prior to
such reference; that no authority is given the Board to direct or control
the method of selecting employees' representatives; that decisions of the
Board on matters not jointly submitted are advisory only. (United States
District Court, Northern District of Illinois. 282 F. 693.)
8e. State of Texas v. Interstate Commerce Commission et al. (IV, R. L. B.,
-.)
Bill filed by the State of Texas attacking the constitutionality of Titles
III and IV of the transportation act, 1920, as infringing upon the rights
of the States, seeking an annulment of all action taken thereunder affect-
ing railroad carriers in Texas, and enjoining defendants from further
action respecting such carriers. The court held that the claim that Titles
III and IV of the transportation act infringe upon State rights is un-
tenable, since it is only where rights in themselves appropriate subjects of
judicial cognizance are affected prejudicially by a statute that its validity
may be called in question; that the carriers and employees are necessary
parties to a bill to vacate decisions of the Railroad Labor Board, and that
the fact that necessary parties can not be joined because of their citizen-
ship does not justify proceeding without them. (United States Supreme
Court. 258 U. S. 158, 42 Sup. Ct. 261:)
9e. United States Railroad Labor Board v. Pennsylvania Railroad Co. (IV,
R. L. B.,
Appeal by the Railroad Labor Board from a deeree of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois enjoining the Board
from proceeding under the provisions of the transportation act, 1920, to
the determination of a dispute concerning rules and working conditions
unless there has been a joint submission of dispute and from making publi-
cation of any decision as to matters submitted contrary to injunctive
order issued by the lower court. The court held that after conference and
failure to agree disputes may be submitted to the Labor Board by either
party; that when jurisdiction of the board is denied by the carrier on the
ground of settlement of dispute between the parties, the employees denying
the representation of those purporting to act in such capacity, such matter
is for determination by the Board; that the Board may prescribe rules
for electing representatives of employees to settle dispute. (U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit. 282 F. 701.)
10e. Rhodes v. New Orleans Great Northern Railroad Co. (IV, R. L. B.,
.)
Appeal from decision of the lower court in which appellant was denied

that the transportation act, 1920, is unconstitutional, that is does not im-

pose any penalty upon or authorize any suit. against a carrier for fail--
ure to obey any order of said. Board, and confers no jurisdiction, power or
authority on any court to render judgment enforcing an order of the
Board. The court held that the provisions of the tranportation act, 1920,
giving power to the Railroad Labor Board, under conditions provided, to
fix wages of employees of carriers, are valid, that findings of the Board
have the effect of an arbitration or award and are enforcible in the State
courts as any other money obligation or contractual right. (Supreme
Court of the State of Mississippi, 91 Se: 281.)
11e. Great Northern Railway Co. v. Local Great Falls Lodge of International
Association of Machinists, No. 187, et al. (IV, R. L. B., -)
A hearing upon plaintiff's application to restrain, pending suit, alleged
activities of labor union defendants. it being charged that the defendants
in their refusal to abide by the Railroad Labor Board's wage scale" strike
against the United States." The court held that functions and orders of
the Board, under the transportation. aet, 1920, are advisory only. (Dis-
trict Court of Montana,. 283 F. 557.)
12e. Portland Terminal Co. v. Foss et al. (IV, R. L. Ba,
Motion for injunction continuing in force restraining order previously
granted, which involves consideration of the rights and duties of the parties
under the transportation act, 1920. Complainant and its employees in
station service entered into a contract to be effective until "changed under
the provisions of the transportation act, 1920." A dispute having arisen
which was not settled in conference was submitted by the parties to the
United States Railroad Labor Board, but pending decision by the board,
defendants who were officers of employees' organization, proceeded to take
a strike vote, which resulted in favor of a strike. The court held that the
right to resort to a strike to settle the dispute was waived by the contract
accepting the provisions of the transportation act, and that on a showing
that a strike would interrupt operation of the carrier and cause irreparable
injury complainant is entitled to an injunction restraining defendants
from ordering strike. (District Court of Maine, Southern District, 283 F.
204.)
13e. Panhandle & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. Curtis. (IV, R. L. B.,
Appeal by carrier from decision of the lower court sustaining action for
damages against it. because of alleged breach of contract to employ ap-
pellee as a machinist in its railway shops, the carrier contending,, among
other things, that the employee had failed to seek his remedy before the
United States Railroad Labor Board, which was a condition precendent to
the right to sue in the courts. The court held that the transportation act,
1920, does not take away the right of an individual employee to, first re-
sort to the courts to adjudicate his rights. (Court of Civil Appeals of
Texas, 245 S. W. 781.)
14e. Pennsylvania Railroad Co. v. United States Railroad Labor Board. (IV,
R. L. B.,
•
Suit brought up on appeal by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co: against
the United States Railroad Labor Board praying an injunction against
alleged unlawful proceedings under the transportation act, 1920, in as-
suming jurisdiction of dispute between the carrier and its employees with
reference to method of selecting employees' representatives and against
threatened official. publication that the carrier has violated the board's
decisions under the act. The court held that. one of the specific powers
conferred upon the board by the transportation act is to make regulations
necessary for the efficient execution of the functions vested in. it by the act,
which must include authority to determine who are proper representatives
of the employees and to make reasonable rules for ascertaining the will of
the employees in the matter; that the board is within its rights in publish-
ing its decision. (United States Supreme Court, 261 U. S. 72,, 43 Sup.

1f. Regulations Governing Nominations to Labor Board. (1, R. L. B., 116.)
The Interstate Commerce Commission is required by the transportation
act, 1920, to prescribe regulations for offering nominations to the Presi-
dent for appointment of members to the Labor Board. Regulations were
therefore issued authorizing Groups 1, 2, and 3, composed of certain speci-
fied labor organizations, to offer nominations for the labor group members
representing the employees; and also authorizing one group, composed of
the Association of Railway Executives, to offer nominations for the man-
agement group members representing the carriers. (I. C. C. Regulations
dated March 8, 1920.)
2f. Regulations Defining "Subordinate Officials." (I, R. L. B., 118.)
The Interstate Commerce Commission, under authority vested in it by
the transportation act, 1920, held public hearings for the purpose of deter-
mining what groups of employees of carriers shall be included within the
term. "subordinate officials" as that term is used in the above-mentioned
act. Regulations were therefore issued defining the following groups of
employees to be included within the term "subordinate officials"; Claim
agents, engineers of mechanics, foremen, supervisors of signals, yard-
masters, train dispatchers, and storekeepers; each group includes certain
specified classes of employees. (I. C. C. Regulations dated March 23,
1920.)
3f. Supplement to Regulations Governing Nominations. to Labor Board. (I,
R. L. B., 119.)
Under date of March 8, 1920, the Interstate Commerce Commission pre-
scribed, under authority vested in it by the transportation act, 1920, three
groups of organizations of employees who were authorized to offer nomina-
tions for appointment of members of the labor group to the Labor Board.
Those regulations are now supplemented by adding a fourth group, com-
posed of certain additional specified labor organizations. (I. C. C. Regula-
tions dated March 23, 1920.)
4f. Regulations Governing Nominations to Labor Board. (I, R. L. B., 122.)
The Interstate Commerce Commission, under authority vested in it by
the transportation act, 1920, heretofore issued certain regulations govern-
ing the offering of nominations for appointment of members of the Labor
Board. The commission ordered that all previous regulations be super-
seded, and issued new regulations governing the making of nominations.
Groups 1, 2, and 3, composed of specified labor organizations, grouped with
respect to the more or less analogous character of the services performed,
and Group 4, composed of specified labor organizations representing "sub-
ordinate officials" and such employees who may not be members of the
organizations named in Groups 1, 2, and 3, are authorized to offer nomi-
nations for the labor group members representing the employees. The
Association of Railway Executives is authorized to offer nominations for
the management group members representing the carriers. (I. C. C. Regu-
lations dated November 1, 1920.)
5f. Regulations Defining “Subordinate Officials." (I, R. L. B., 125.)
The Interstate Commerce Commission, under authority vested in it by
the transportation act, 1920, heretofore issued certain regulations desig-
nating the groups of employees that are to be included within the term
"subordinate officials," as that term is used under Title III of the trans-

portation act, 1920. The commission ordered that the regulations of
March 23. 1920, be superseded, and issued new regulations defining the
groups of employees to be included within the term "subordinate offi-
cials as follows: Auditors, claim agents, foremen, supervisors and road-
masters, train dispatchers, technical engineers, yardmasters, and store-
keepers. Each group includes certain specified classes of employees. (I.
C. C. Regulations dated November 1, 1920.)
6f. Regulations Defining "Subordinate Officials." (I, R. L. B., 126.)
The Interstate Commerce Commission issued certain regulations under
date of March '23, 1920, and November 1, 1920, designating the groups
of employees of carriers to be included within the term "subordinate' offi-
cials as that term is used in the transportation act, 1920. In order to
correct typographical error, further notifications were found necessary and
it was therefore ordered that the regulations of March 23, 1920, and No-
vember 1, 1920, be set aside and that the following groups of employees
be included within the term "subordinate officials": Auditors, claim agents;
foremen, supervisors and roadmasters, train dispatchers, technical engi-
neers, yardmasters, and storekeepers; each group includes certain specified
classes of employees. (I. C. C. Regulations dated November 24, 1920.)
7f. Regulations Governing Nominations to Labor Board. (II, R. L. B., 637.)
The Interstate Commerce Commission, under authority vested in it by
the transportation act, 1920, heretofore issued certain regulations govern-
ing the offering of nominations for appointment of members of the Labor
Board. The commission ordered that all previous regulations be super-
seded, and issued new regulations governing the making of nominations.
The only modification of previous regulations relates to Group 4. One
organization is added to this group and the following proviso eliminated:
"Provided they agree among themselves upon nominees jointly repre-
sentative of any of the organizations in this group." (I. C. C. Regula-
tions dated April 16, 1921.)
