Federal
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
matter in controversy must be pasted upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that jour
proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods:
1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its
accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi
tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue
recessary to meet the added cost ot operation in case your proposals arc found by the Commission to be just ?nd
reasonable; or, in tlie 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 and
promptly dipoe ot the questions involved; or
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act).
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:
1-
o other body with such an intimate knowledge
of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi
tion in the public confidence.
p. The rates the railroads may charge the public for
transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern
ment board.
Out of every dollar received by the railroads from
the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em
ployes 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 con
trol over rates, is in a position to make a complete
investigation and render such decision as would pro
tect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners
cf the railroads, and the public.
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.
The single issue before the country is ivhether this controversy is to be settled by an
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
