eral Inquiry or
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 service is acknowledged, the railroads have no (
differences that could not' be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body.
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration'
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the
controversy is as follows:
"Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion
and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter
ested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the rail
ways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods:
1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal f
which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its con i
trol of tnc revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and ,
equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the
aacicd cost of operation in case your proposals arc found by the Commission to be just and ,
reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing
laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be
necessary to enable the Commission to consider anf promptly dispose of the questions ,
involved: or
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act)s
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:
4."
No other body with such an intimate
knowledge of railroad conditions has such
an unquestioned position in the public con
fidence, The rates the railroads may charge the
public for transportation are now largely
fixed by this Government board.
Out of every dollar received by the rail
roads from the public nearly one-half is paid
directly to the employes as wages; and the
money to pay increased wages can come from
no other source than the rates paid by the
public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission,
with its control over rates, is in a position
to make a complete investigation and render
such decision as would protect the interests
of the railroad employes, the owners of the
railroads, and the public.
A,
A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000
, a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only 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.
1 - The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial
Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
