said that the board cannot make an intelligent and air decision aa to wage rates ex- cept it reaffirms prevailing rates until the new agreements have been filed and promulgated The for this Is Neither railroads nor employees can know what wage schedules mean or to until they know the rules on which tie are to be plied Manifestly employees cannot be expected or asked to accept a wage schedule when they have no meus of knowing exactly bow much they are to receive under that schedule It equally manifest also that to IM- a new wage schedule before the new agreements are negotiated would preclude the possibility of our reaching any agreement through negotiations Veterans To Vote be experienced to be fully appreciated Much it should be quite sary but no one of the nations con- cerned can settle
