J 4 The resolution formally declared that the striking shop workers are no longer employes of any railroad B and therefore without the Jurisdiction HR of the board or subject to the applica- Ition of the transportation act. Al- HH though applying directly to the shop- H men at this time, the board also said h that If the malntenancc-of-way men, H ' - gnal men, stationary firemen and oil era and clerks Joined the walkout, t;hey would be relegated to the same posi- H tion as the shopmen. isB! Letters will be addressed b the :H board to both the carriers having men on strike and to the shopmen remain- ! ing at work, advising them to form I "new associations or organizations" L which would function in behalf of the employes before the ooard and which IH would be accorded tho application lM and bonetit of the outstanding wage and rule decisions" of the board.
