July 7, 1922 TO THE PUBLIC: It is a matter of common knowledge that a large number of railroad empleyes, designated generally as members of the Shep Crafts, withdrew from the service of their employing companies at 10 o'clock a. m., July 1st, 1922. This strike or stoppage of work en the part of certain classes of railroad empleyes, en the same date and at the same hour en practically all of the railroads in the United States, is understood te be in harmony with a pre-arranged plan authorized by the chosen representatives of the men involved. It has been stated in the columns of the daily press that this procedure en the part of the men is in pretest against action taken by certain railroad companies with reference te piece-work practice, te the leasing of railroad shops and facilities te outside contractors, and also against Order Ne. 1036 of the United States Railroad Laber .Beard, effective July J.. 1922, authorizing certain reductions in wages. A large number of Baltimore & Ohie empleyes, members of the Shep Crafts, joined in this concerted movement, although the Baltimore & Ohie Company se far has net sought te re-establish piece work, nor has it leased any of its shops or facilities te outside contractors. Ne controversy con cerning the two specific matters just mentioned exists between this Company and any class of its empleyes. The Baltimore & Ohie Company, however, is subject te the Trans portation Act of 1920, and in accordance with the previsions of that Act it did announce its intention te put into effect en July 1st the new basis of wages fixed by the Laber Beard and found by that Beard te be just and reasonable when tested by the requirements of the Transportation Act. While mere than half of the empleyes affected by Order Ne 1036 withdrew from the Baltimore & Ohie service, a very substantial number of the same classes of empleyes remained at work and have expressed their intention te continue in the service of the Company at the new wages law fully prescribed and new in effect. The duty is imposed by law upon the Baltimore & Ohie Railroad Com pany as a common carrier te provide adequate transportation for all who may desire te make use of the facilities, and it is also the duty of the officers of the Company te make every possible and practicable effort te operate such trains as may be necessary te serve the public needs The efforts of the Company te fulfill its obligations te the public have 'neces sarily been hampered by the strike new in effect. The management of the Baltimore & Ohie Cempanv has se far refrained from hiring new men in large numbers, as it might easily have done for the purpose of filling the places made vacant by the men new en strike hoping that after giving the matter further consideration many of the men who took part in the strike might conclude te return te the service A considerable number have already returned. It is felt, however bv the management of the Company that it must new proceed vigoreush- te resume normal operations, and te the extent that the men new out of service fail te return, it is the intention of the Cempanv te employ new men as fast as suitabli and competent men can be obtained. The Cempanv would much prefer te have its old empleyes return te the service but it cannot evade its responsibility te the public under the law. It must under the law make every reasonable and practicable effort te maintain its property and operate its trains, and this duty it will endeavor te perform. The Baltimore & Ohie management has been extremely anxious te maintain pleasant relations with all classes of its empleves, and it deenlv regrets the situation which has arisen. It is ready and willing te pay the wages fixed by the Laber Beard as just and reasonable. It is net authorized te pay mere; it does net expect or desire te pay less. In this connection attention is railed te the following paragraph from a bulletin put out by the United states Railroad Laber Beard en the 3rd Instant : "RESOLVED, that if it be assumed that the empleyes who lenve the service of the carrier because of their dissatisfaction with any deci sions of the Laber Heard nre within their rigrhts in se deinir, it must likewise be conceded that the men who remain in the service and these who enter it anew nre within their rights in acceptimr such employment that they arc net strikebreakers seeking te impose the arbitrary will of an employer en empleyes; that they have the moral ns well as the local right te cngnjre in such service of the American public te avoid interrun interrun tien of indispensable railway transportation, and that they nre entitled te the protection of every department and branch of the Government State and National. ' j l'1 .is 8"ffgested that carriers bulletin this resolution which wns adopted by the majority action of the Beard. "By order of L. M. Pnrker, Secretary, this July 3d, 1022. "UNITED STATES RAILROAD LABOR BOARD, "Ben W. Hoepor, Chairman." 1 Recognition of the deep interest which all must feel in a controversy of this kind has suggested the publication of this statement.
