Composed of Eight Merf; Four From Railroads and FourFrom Brotherhood s Washington, March 23. Director- General of Railroads McAdoo tonight announced the creation of a perman ent wage adjustment .board to con senting the roads and four the Big Four Brotherhoods. The board which will sit monthly at Washington and have final decis ion "on all controversies growing out of the interpretation or application"' of wage or j other agreements between roads and employes. At the same time, it was 'indicated the present railroad wage commission willbe continued indefinitely "to pass on broad questions of wages and hours directing policies" rather than settling controversises. Four members of the new Board to be known as the railway board of adjustment. Number 1 are to be se lected by Regional-Directors of the Railroad, Administration for the east ern, southern and western districts." and four by the presidents of the four brotherhoods. These officials are sig natory to an agreement binding the roads and unions to submit griev ances to the new board. Should the board be split four and four, the decision can be referred to the Director General on vote of anjq four members. The pending general increase is under discission for the past few weeks before the railroad wage board will be handled by this body, but fu ture controversises will be. before the new organization. Decision on the new wage schedules is expected short ly, and, it is believed, will add from $250,OGO,000 to $500,000,000 a year to the railroad payroll. Authority vested under the eight hour law to the ommisison of eight was transferred to the new board which may revoke or alter its decis ions. The board will remain in existence for the duration of the war "and thereafter," unless a majority e eith er the Regional Directors' or the Brotherhood Presidents vote to dis solve it. The board, is to meet in Washing ton within ten days after selection of its members. It shall meet regularly each month, and sit until all matters before it are disposed of. Creation of the board was accept ed as removing for the rest of the war all possibility of strikes or la bor troubles. It was thought probable that the other rail unions, not connected with the brotherhoods .but affiliated with the American Federation of Labor would become signatory to the agree ment or a similar one.
