C11ICAGO, Aug. 19.—The United
States railroad labor board today up-
held the principle of time-and-a-half
overtime for all railroad shopmen
after an eight-hour day.
The board also granted time and a
half to all shopmen on Sundays and
holidays and "penalizes" the rail-
roads for Sunday work, except
where such Sunday shop work is
"absolutely essential."
The decision upholds seven of the
most Important working rules of the
national working agreements grant-
ed shopmen during federal adminis-
tration of the railroads, but greatly
modifies other working rules, bitter-
ly objected to by the carriers.
While the decision is considered

as regards overtime, the railroads

the first dissenting opinion to a,de-

The decision holds that:

and lej,al holidays by shopmen shall
be paid for at the rate of time and a

of power houses, millwright gangs,
yards and other crews regularly as-
signed to Sunday work.
These will be paid regular week

2. After eight hours on week days
overtime will be paid at the rate of
time and a half.
3. Employes required to work
during any period of the lunch hour
will be allowed one hour.

As That of Daniel Gingrich
Police and county officers were working Friday to clear the mystery of the murder of
Daniel Gingricji, whose body was found flouting on Belle Isle lake by a motorboat party
late Thursday. That there was at least one woman involved, was the prevailing theory.
There was a bullet hole in the head just above the right temple, knife gashes and
bruises were on the face, and the back of the skull was crushed in as though he had been
struck by a heavy weapon. The body was badly swollen.
J. S. Estes, the man's lawyer, and other friends identified the body which was taken
to the undertaking establishment of the Hahn company. Gingrich was a wealthy oil man
and farmer. lie had been married twice. His first wife, the mother of his children, died
several years ago, and he is now separated from, and has sued for a divorce trom the second,
