PA. vue ABELL "PHONS tn ———— - Railroad Strike? Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional’ burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that #this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient seryice is acknowledoed, the railroads have no differences that could not be consideredifairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to/thesemployes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: *“Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion snd that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed ye by other and disinterested agencies, Therefore, we propose that yout proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or ihe other of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission te the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its secumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of (the yevenue of the railways, is in a posic tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests afiected pnd to provide additional revenue mecessary to meet the added cost of eperation in case your proposals are { sund by" the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, ander ex ‘sting laws, actin the patminen; that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable th.t Commi‘sion te consider promptly dispose of the questions invelved; or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law"’ (1"he NewlandsbAci) » Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike*Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such ao unquestioned posi tion im the public confidence. The rates the railroads may charge the public for trassportation are now largely fixed by this Govern ment board. Out of every dollar received by the railroads frem the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they bave no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting o one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be smpartial Government inquiry er by industrial warfare.
