The notice read in part: "We hereby give notice of our in tention to reduce, on and after July 1, 1934, all now existing basic rates of pay by 15 percent, such reductions to be continued in effect from said July 1, 1934, for the period of one year.’’ The conference committee of man agers is the group which negotiated wage agreements which stopped rail road strikes a year ago.
