RAIL EXECUTIVES
SCRAP SHOP
n
OF 500,000 UNSKILLED WORKERS DECLARE THIS
ACTION NECESSARY TO AVOID INSOL
VENCY OF THE ROADS.
Chicago. Jan. .'11. Railroad ir.au-re-rs
were advised b the United
.a teg railroad labor board to get to
gether with their employes ad work
tun a "sensible settlement" of wai-'e
controversies here today. The uosrd
ur.gested that the employers get. to
gether with their men when the tuan-
;gers presented a petition asking im
mediate abrogation of the national
agreements and reduction of wages: of
r,0'.oM) unskilled workers.
As W. W. Atterbury. chairman of
the labor board of the railway execu
tive's association, fnished his peti-
ion. Judge R. M. Barton, chairman
of the federal board, informed him
that the employers should be able to
settle the question hy direct negotia
tion with the men.
Atterbury declred that the rail
road situation was so critical that
unless the board gives immediate re- j
iief by granting the petition, the rail- j
roads will be forced to asK lor a
general wage reduction.
Unions Appeal to President i
Chicago, Jan. 31. President Wil- j
son was asked tonight hy represen-.
tatives of seven labor unions to in-j
vestigate the statement ot Brigadier.
General W. W. Atterbury of the Pen-j
nsylvania lines, that the roads must ;
have wage readjustments or be in!
danger (,i bankruptcy, and if the;
statement were found true, to place;
the matter before congress and ak j
that bodv to enact remedial legisla-
tion immediately,
ers. however, in a
president, declared
The union 1
message to
thev did not
lieve the roads to be
in
the financial
condition outlined by General Atter
bury. They charged that he had,
by delivering what they termed "an
ultimatum" to the labor board, "vio
lated all decent proprieties, disre
garded the transportation act, and
flouted exirtinir agencies such as the
interstate commerce commission amH
even congress itself."
General Atterbury's obvious policy,
the telegram said, was "to disrupt
labor unions. turn public opinion
against the employes and place wages
on a tire-war basis so that railway
profits may be enhanced when pros-;
perity returned." The shipper would!
have to pay increased rates and the;
laborer would be exploited, if (Jen-!
eral Atterbury had his way, the;
union men declared.
Would Pay "Prevailing" Wage
Chicago, Jan. 31. Scrapping of
the national railroad shop agree
ments and a reduction in the wages
of r00.)00 unskilled laborers was
demanded before the United States
railroad labor lmard today by W. W.
Atterbury, vice-president of the Pen
nsylvania system, and chairman of
the labor board of 'tie railway execu
tives' associa'ion.
Atterbury. who appeared as the
spokesman of the railroads, after a!
three day conference with the labor
committee of the association of rail
road executives, said a reduction in!
the pay of other rail employes would
not be asked for ninety days if the
l,oard abrogated the shon agreements !
i Three hundred million dollars will j
