The railroads aro gct t ng back to normalcy. The decision of the Ilailroad Labor Board Is lniled liere as the first step In an adjuntj went between employers and em ployees. In some respects it is a vic tory for the railroads, but upon care lul analysis the decision is reully iullnd to 'be n compromise. The so-called National agreements which now have been abrogated re quired the railroads to deal us a unit n:th Uielr employees, lu other words. Hi io arrangement was made when the Toids were under Federal control und the Government was' a single om .iyer. Since the systems have been t turned to tlicir owners, tho roads Ji uvc contended that each employer f,huuid .be permitted to work out his own salvation with his own cm p.oycca because conditions aro differ tnt in each locality. Labor insisted it, ..it it was simpler to retain tho Na tional conference Idea. But this the Itmlroad Labor Board has upset and ,jt-, decision also sweeps aside scores r vexatious rules regarding working hours which, it is estimated, have caused a waste of about 300,000,000 ci year As the situation rests now, It is In cumbent upon the railroads to con-i- with their employees and adopt jr,i es to govern working conditions.
