NEW REASON GIVEN FOR ABRO
GATION OF EXISTING AGREE
MENT WITH WORKERS
Washington. I. C. Feb. 1. Presi
dent Wilson received today and took
under advisement the telegram sent
hir;) from Chicago last night by rep
resentatives of seven big labor un
ions asking that he investigate claims
of railroads' spokesmen before the
railroad labor I.card that unless there
i sa readjustment of wages, the rail
roads face bankruptcy.
Chicago. 111.. Feb. 1. The rail
roads asked the railway labor board
to abrogate the national agreements
so that an ultimate reduction in rates
without an immediate reduction in
wages could be brought about,
Thomas ! Witt Cuyler. chairman
of ihe Association i f Railway Kx
ecutives, sai l tonight in a telegram
to President Wil-i.n, replying to
one snt him last nignt by represent
atives of seven labor union-.
Mr. t'livl-r denied charges made
against tj- railroad; by the labor
leaders, declaring that they were
"deliberate and gm.-s misrt presenta
tions and pit paganda intended to dis
credit the private man tgt mt nt of
the railroads in the interest- of the
Plumb plan and to defeat eiVorts i,e
ing maile in good faith to a in lisii
rules and working conditions which
wire war measun s."
.Mr. t'ujler said the railroads had
refu-ed a conference wi'h labor
leaders because such a conference
uhl not adjust conditions for all
reads. The roads, however, were
willing individually to adjust condi
tions with their employes and were.
in fact, urging this on the labor
board, he declared.
"Only Possible Action."
"The action requested by rjriga
dier (Jeneral W. W. Atterbury lab
rogation of the national agreement-)
is li i' only action which with gov
ernment, sanction can free the hands
of t'.ie railway executives and en a bit? jit
them by orderly pr.iceo.niv with their
in'.n to develop appropriate rules and
working conditions." the telegram
said.
"The only rules Mint stmd the
tests of practical operation and d-i
Men in transportation rates to the1
pu blic."
"Last, but not least, the roads
request is in the interest of the men
who work upon these railroads.
"We recognize that as the wages
of the railroad employes were the
last to go up, they also should be
the last to come down, and if by re
storing conditions necessary to effi
cient and economical operation the
railroads can postpone for a reason
able period the reduction of basic
wages which will ultimately be re
quired, they will be only too glad
to do so. in the interests of their
employes.
"The pressing financial needs of
the railroads are such that if denied
the opportunity of initial economy,
throng hproper rules and working
conditions, their only other recourse
must be in a reduction of basic
wages."
Hear Employes Thursday.
Steps to hasten a decision by the
federal railroad labor board on the
railroads' plea for immediate abroga
tion of national agreements with the
employes brotherhoods were taken
today.
Judge It. M. Parton. chairman of
the board, announced that Thursday
had been selected as the day for
hearing the employes side of the
allegations presented yesterday by
General W. W. Atterbury. on behalf
of the Association of Railway Executives.
Seven independent employes or-1
g.nizat ions, dt spite opposition of the
railroad brothers affiliated with the
American Federation cf Labor, were
today admitted as parties to the
htaring on rules and working con
ditions before the railroad labor
! bo rd.
