"As a step in the direction of
using more efficiently the avail- -
able (railroad) facilities and '-v n.n< efficiently,
forces, the railroad administra- _r
tion called on the representa-
tives of the organized railroad
workers to agree to certain
modifications in their contracts
with the railroads relative to
hours of labor and to agree also
to modifications of the rules
governing the promotion of me-
chanics to apprentices and help-
era.
"Under these modifications
the railroad employes patriot-
ically gave up privileges and
concessions which their organi-
zations had obtained through
many years of negotiation and
controversy, in which they
agreed to an extension of the
hours of service to 7<> per week,
and to the promotion of all com-
petent helpers and apprentices
