ovrrAwA. July 31-(OP)—The national war laibor board tonight announced o/ward of an increase of six cents an hour in tho wages of all hourly-rated Canadian Railway

w ere.

The Board's award was made on an application by i8 railway unions for ncreass of 3i cents an hour in the wages of non-operating workers and levelling of the wages of workers in the running trades to those paid on eastern United States railways which would have meant increases of approximately 25 to 32 cents on hour.

The decision is estimated to af- fect from 100.000 to 175.000 work-

ers.

The decision given by the Board on the main case, heard early in May. was also given in two other cases which had been heard previ- ously and on which decision was reserved pending the main case. The two other cases were applica- tions by the Brotherhood of Main- tenance of Way Employees (A.F.L.) i and the Canadian Brotherhood of ' Railway Employees (C.C.L.). The application of the 1D brotherhoods was for a general levelling of rates paid Canadian Railway workers with those in effect on Eastern United States lines. _

The unions said their applica- lion affected 100.000 Canadian workers and the railways estimat- ed any increases granted would have to be extended to another 75,000. The unions placed the cost of the increases they asked at $56,712,000 while the railways said for the Canadian National Rail- ways and Canadian Pacific Rail- way alone it would amount to $l19.999.00l).
