There is a great deal of contusion
in the public mind concerning the
".seniority rights" of railroad employes
To state the matter concisely, sen-
iority in cach class of railroad em-
ployes means that those who have
served lougest in the continuous em-
ploy of a railroad stand at the head
of the list in the order of their length
of service. Standing at the head of
the list means that they have first
call upon promotions, desirable trans-
fers and continuous employment.
For the classes of men now on
strike the seniority rules were pro-
mulgated by the I nited States Rail-
road l<abor Hoard on November 2!>,
11*21, in addendum No. 6 to decision
No. 222.
"Kule 17. Employes serving on
night shifts desiring day work shall
have preference when vacancies oc-
cur, according to their seniority.

From the above rules it is clear that '
the employes whose names stand to- j

these valuable privileges:

Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Asso-
ciation of Hallway Executives, and in
conference with B. M. Jewel, leader
of the striking shopmen and William
H. Johnston, president of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists,
asserted the crop losses through lack
of transportation were becoming se-
rious.
Mr. Jewell, who with Mr. Johnston
called on Semator Borah at the lat-
ter's office, was said to view the New
York negotiations as hopeful. He and
the machinists' head, it was said,
again presented to Senator Borah re-
ports as to deterioration of railroad
equipment.
Senator Borah's telegram to Mr.
Cuyler, the substance of which was
repeated orally to Mr. Jewell, follows:

Of these patients he said 138 have
