(By Associated Press) Chicago, July 1. Wage slashes totalling 1135,000,000 annually go Into effect on the railroads of the country today. There are approx imately 1,425,000 railway workers in the service at present, but pro bably not more than one million of these will feel the cut in their pay envelopes. Three decisions of the - United States Railroad Labor Board dur ing the last month and a half form the basis for the wage reductions. Several classes of employes, not ably the engineers, firemen, con ductors and trainmen, were not in eluded in the reductions and no de cision has yet been issued for one other group, the telegraphers, and the train dispatches suffered no re duction whatever. The railway employes were' not hit as hard this year as when the board cut the wages of all workers last year a total of $350,030,000. The cuts ranged from one to nine cents an hour for various classes of workers, while certain groups of semi-official and supervisory em ployes escaped the pruning knife entirely. ' The following table gives the approximate number of railway employes in the group classifica tions, present figures being com pared with those nuder the feder al railroad administration, when the number of workers reached the hihg-st point in history. 1918 Yardmaster and assitants 7,000 Train Dispatch ers .... 5,500 Enginee r s a,n d firemen ....... 136 950 Conductors and trainmen -. . . . .189,900 Mainten a nc e of way employes .689,500 Clerks ...218,500.
