Nogotlating Rules on Ech Road
Would Cost Workers $6,-
'000.000. Ho Says '
PRESENTS LABOR'S CASE
"Bylhe AftMcUfod Presa
Chicago. March 24. Negotiating
rules and working agreements on each
Individual railroad as' proposed by the
railway executives would cost the rail
road workers more thVn ?0,000,600 nnd
require the services of mor than 5000
men, it was stated before the railroad
labor bonrd 'today by B. M. Jewell,
president of tho railway employes' de
pnrtment of tho American Federation
of Labor, in presenting the labor aide
of the controversy over national rules
and agreements.
"If the request of the conference
rommlttce of managers of tho. Associa
tion of Bailwny Executives were
granted," said Ir. Jewell, "and tho
national agreement abrogated by de
rision of the board, remanding Ihe sub
ject matter of rules'" and working con
ditions to the respective railroads nnd
committees of their employes for con
ference on individual lines, the em
ployes' conference committee on each
railroad would necerearlly be composed
of at least one man fronCcach craft at
each point on the railroad!
"For the 107 roads listed, the figures
show that the services of 5158 commit
teemen would be required at a total dally
expense of 565,700 and a total expense
for ninety days of ?5,918,442, besides
additional expenses.
Proposes Conference Committee
"Much of this enormous expense on
both railroad management, and railroad
labor, together with tho consumption ot
valuable time of the highly skilled and
essential railroad officials and railroad
employes, should be eliminated by co
operation between railroad management
nnd tne recognized railroad labor or
ganizations through the creation qf a
ronierencc committee nutnonzca rep
resent on the one hand railroad-. man
agement and on the other railroad em
ployes of their particular crafts,"
He cited figures to show that 05 per
rent of the, 4rf!,77G railroad ahop em
ployes of new Class 1 carriers are mem
bers of their respective craft- organiza
tions, and declared tli at since 1012,
when the railway employes' department
of the American Federation or Labor
was organized, there has not been a
single authorized 6trike of federated shop
craft employes.
"It is also significant that during this
time." Mr. .lewell said, "the greatest
progress toward the nttdnment of Just
und reasonable wages and wonting con
ditions nnd uniform rules applying alike
to all railroads was made.
Urges Universal Agreement
"Ah representing the federated shop
crafts employes, we hold that nn agree
ment applying nllkc to all railroads will
be a great, If not the greatest, factor
in assisting the establishment of effi-.
cient und economical railroad opera
tion. . ,
"It will remove the costly labor turn
over, which always has existed to a
crenter or lesser extent and is due mostly
to the fart that wages and conditions of
employment on one railroad were more
favorable than upon another railroad."
Mr. Jewell's statement is expected to
occupy several days in its presentation
to the labor board, following which the
labor side will present numerous ex
hibits on the various rules and principles
of the national agreement.
