tween Milesburg and State College

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.
