HEARING OPENS ON
MIL LEGISLATION
Brotherhood, Bailroads and

GAEEETSON SPEAKS FIBST
Washington, Aug. 31. Railroad of
ficials and representatives "of the
trainmen's brotherhoods appeared in
force today at the senate interstate
, commerce committee's hearings on
. President Wilson's legislative pro
gram to prevent the threatened rail
road strike. i " '
j Elisha Lee, chairman of the man-
agers' comtnittee, headed the delega
tion of railroad officials, which in
cluded President Underwood of the
Erie, President Willard of the Balti
more & Ohio, Samuel Rea, president
of the Pennsylvania; Fairfax Harri
son, president of the Southern, and
: R. S. Lovett, chairman of the board
of the Union Pacific
Representing the men were A. B.
Garretson, W.- G. Lee, W. S. Stone
and W. S. Carter, the four brother
hood heads. Officials-of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor headed by
President Gompers, Assistant Attor
ney General Todd and E. E. Clark of
the Interstate Commerce commission
also were present.
Statement by Ntwlands.
At th outset of the hearing Sena
tor Newlands, chairman of the com
mittee, announced its purpose, and
said none of the legislation lnciuaeu
compulsory, arbitration.
"It simply provides," he said, 'in
case of the failure of voluntary media
tion and arbitration for a government
inquiry and the stay of the action of
all the parties to the controversy un
til investigation and report could be
made, leaving them free thereafter to
act as they might be advised.
Senator ; Newlands spoke of the
short time remaining for congress to
act and said:.'. ., . , .
This present dispute if carried to
ita' extremes will involve the United
States in a civil war. The question
is whether we cannot find some
. means of bringing about a settlement
of this dispute between employers
and employes without resort to force.
The brotherhood representatives
were heard first. At the request of
Mr. Garretson it was agreed that the
brotherhood leaders should address
the committee i two hours in open
ing and an hour m closing. Between
those periods representatives of the
employers and shippers have six
hours. He announced that besides
the heads of the four brotherhoods
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, also
would speak.
- First Speach by Garretson.
Mr. Garretson then began with a
general review of the circumstances
which led up to the present condi-
'Tt'waa the belief of labor organi
sations, he said, that differences be
tween employers and employes
should not be settled by legislation,
but rather between themselves. ,
The success of any labor organi
sation lies, to an extent, in Its mili
tancy," .he uid. "We are in a grip
of power greater than we, and it is
unfortunate that this situation has
arisen, but I believe if a settlement
can be affected by congress, even
though w are opposed to legislative
settlements, we art willing to waive
the age-old tradition against it.
"Today thousands of men through
out this country are working from
twelve to sixteen hours, of which
there is no complete record.
"The brotherhoods demand the hu
man right to enjoy some of the
things that other men enjoy, i
"'We believa that the human ele
ment should be considered regard
less of its effect on dividends. The
obligation on the part of the railroad
employer is as great to keep the hu
man element in good condition as the
wooden , and' iron property of the
road." ,
. Would Disregard Dividends.
Mr. Garretson argued that the ef
fect of an increased wage on dividends
should not be considered when it was
obvious that employes were not being
paid a proper wage.
"A bankrupt road cannot buy its
coal any cheaper than one that is
paying 33 per cent; thin why should
any road buy its labor for less than it
is worth because a proper wage would
decrease its profits?"
Attacking the railways' plea for ar
bitration aa insincere, Mr. Garretson
insisted that it was not offered to
men who were so poorly organised
that they could not enforce demands.
"I say on behalf of these railroad
men," Mr. Garretson declared, "that
there Is evidence today of a deadly
danger underlying the social crust and
that it la liable to be brought to the
surface unless means are found to set
tle this difficulty before it can reach
.1. - J Aksnl1v. h r.
ctared, the brotherhood officials could
only call ott tne strixe dv reporting
that a satisfactory settlement had
been made.
To postpone the strike after the
men had voted it, Garretson declared,
would mean the disintegration of the
brotherhood and "the turning over to
the mob of the trains, aa in 1677 and
1894."
"I want to impress on the commit-
ICC, SSIU UG a.i.v ..v ..
ning of the negotiations no definite
proposal ever has been made to us by
the other side. They have said but
one thing: They have offered to
leave the whole matter to the In
terstate, Commerce commission."
-j Believe in Arbitration. ,
Garretson added that he wanted to
assure the senators that the brother
hoods were not opposed to arbitra-
tion" . , ....
"We believe to the principle' of ar
bitration," he said, "but not in arbi
Lincoln Medical College j
tration where we stand only to lose.
There have been many unfair men on
our arbitration boards.
Under ordinary processes of our
policies," said Garretson, "we would
be out of accord with all of the five
nrooositions made bv the oresident.
But in the hope of effecting a settle
ment we are willing to waive many
deep-rooted principles and we are
willing to aid in passage of a legisla
tive remedy that will make it possible
to recall the order to strike septem
her 4. The eight-hour law ia accom
pamca oy a pruvisiun iu assure mc
ten hours' pay pending inquiry and
I suggest a provision that the gov
ernment should bring suit in case a
road refused to grant the pay, as is
provided in the hours of service law
would satisfy us in this emergency.
.. "As for compulsory arbitration,"
said Garretson,, "Bo influence that
ever can be brought to bear can in
duce our organization to accept it I
want to go on record here as protest
ing against -anything that savors of
making men stay at work during any
investigation. .
Senator Newlands interrupted Mr.
Garretson to say it was his under
standing that the proposed bill would
not prevent any man from leaving his
employment during an investigation.
Concerted action, he said, was what
it was designed to prevent, yuite
true," Mr. Garretson said, "but if
only men, individually, threatened to
strike on the railroads we would not
be here now discussing this proposed
legislation. ' ,
The brotherhoods, Mr. Garretson
said, would not ODDOie being drafted
to run trains as long as it was only
for military purposes.
Asked for the attitude of the broth
erhoods on Senator Lee's pending
resolution to have the strike post
poned a week, Mr. Garretson said he
would like to discuss that later. Gar
retson declared (hat in accepting the
president's proposal the men had
yielded 50 per cent of their demands.
Addraaa of Mr. Gompers.
Mr. Gompers, 1 who followed Mr,
Garretson, said that the federation
supported the brotherhoods and pro
tested against compulsory arbitra
tion. He, attacked government oper
ation of roads for military purposes,
contending it was conscription and
indefensible in time of peace.
Senator Newlands denied his con
tention that the legislation denied
the right of a worker to quit his job.
Mr. Newlands reiterated it meant
only to affect the right tj quit in con
cert Mr. Gompers said he believed he
had contributed as much as anybody
in America to avoiding strikes.
"But, gentlemen," he said, "there
are things worse than strikes. We
have got to live when that strike is
over and ia history, and then, I ask
you, will we find on the statute books
a law that says that men are crimi
nals if they strike In concert? Such
a condition is intolerable. I trust
this legislation, will not be enacted."
, Queetion by Newlands.
Senator Newlands asked Gompers
to give the committee the solution of
the problem.
"On Monday," said Mr. Newlands,
"the railroads of the country will be
tied up. I think the members of this
committee agree with me that com
pulsory arbitration and compulsory
service are both impossible and in
advisable. The suggestion therefore
is made that the government make an
investigation and thera be mediation
and that pending an inquiry into the
facts the parties maintain the status
quo. Now if this remedy ia not right
and is wholly wrong, what ia the rem
edy?" - - ' .
Mr. Gomoers replied that under the
circumstances the employes should be
left tree to strike whenever tney saw
fit and not forced to "unfold their
arms" by law. The question of bring
ing about peace now, he insisted,
should devolve upon railroad heads
who should be expected to agree to
some sort of satisfactory settlement.
"It is more essential," he aaid, "that
the liberties of the employes, should
be safeguarded than that aome suffer
ing, which is certain to follow a strike,
be avoided."
Eight-Hour Day Satisfactory.
W. G. Lee, head of the trainmen,
went into detaila of why the men
refused to arbitrate the eight-hour
day, saying that in many parts of
the south and southwest tne men
had it and "could not arbitrate
whether we should live in a house
which we have bought and paid for."
"We stand ready, he said, "to ar
bitrate all other issues as soon as the
president's eight-hour day proposal is
enacted into Taw, It is beyond us, if
we ever hope to remain officers of
these organizations, if we ever expect
to retain the respect of those men, to
stop this strike by any other method
than to send our general chairmen

code messages meaning 'satisfactory

can be sent if we get the eight-hour
day."
Replying to Senator Pomerene, Mr.
Lee said if it were possible to reach
all the brotherhood men and explain
the present legislation, he thought
they would vote to delay the strike.
But that, he added, was impossible
now, and he laid the blame to the
railroads. '
Lovett for Railroads.
Mr. Lovett was heard first to pre
sent the side of the riitroads.
Mr. Lovett. said .if .the public were
riot involved in the present contro
versy and if there were not thousands
of railway employes not allied with
the trainmen the parties involved
should be allowed to settle the mat
ter themselves. The . railroads, he
said, are no longer owned ( by ; the
bankers, but have stock- widely .dis
tributed. .
The railroad officials, he said, re
gard the problem as one to be settled
by arbitration, because, he added,
"just as certain as the sun sets, the
public will pay the bill. Railroads
have no income except what they can
earn. That depends on the rates they
can 'get My understanding of this
matter is that what the men want is
an increase of wages. If. congress
proposed to enact a law to make them
work only eight hours they would be
up in arms.
"If this burden of $60,000,000 a year
is put on the public because of this
legislation now proposed the responsi
bility will be on congress, not on the
railroads.
"We have done our utmost to set
tle this dispute, except to surrender
what we think a vital principle."
"The issue here." Mr. Lovett con
tinued, "is whether the 100,000,000
people in this country are to be put
at the feet of 350,000 workmen. If
the judgment of the country is that
there is nothing for us to do but sub
mit, we will abide by it. The re
sponsibility is, no longer mine. The
railroads will struggle on and meet
the additional expense in the best
way we can, knowing that ultimately
it will be passed on to the public.
"If you put this burden upon us, we
must abide by it, but I think it would
be the greatest injustice that ever
happened in the history, of this coun
try to force it upon us, with the
hands of our men on our throats."
Faster Tim Impracticable.
Mr. Lee followed Mr. Lovett and
discussed the eight-hour day and the
other proposals from the viewpoint
of an operating official. He said the
change from the ten-hour to the eight-
hour basis and an increase in the run
ning time of freight trains so that 100
miles the standard run could be
covered in the lesser period, would
entail just as much increased expen
diture by the addition of trains as
would a decrease in the basic day
without an increase in train speed,
but with a consequent, larger charge
for overtime. '
Senator Brandecee asked if the ef
fect of the eight-hour day bill would
be actually to reduce hours or in
crease wages.
"Increase wages, said Mr. Lee.
Senator Cummins asked if the rail
roads would run their trains any
faster if the time and a half for over
time were in effect Mr. Lee said a
committee had atudied how to meet
such a contingency; that it found it
would be necessary to cut trains down
so aa to operate faster, that it would
mean more crews, more facilities and
more chance of accident, and that all
came to the conclusion that the most

Heavens in September
. By WOliui F. Rl(f
For early risers the morning skies
will present many attractions this
month. The brilliant planet Venus
will be farthest from the sun on the
12th and will rise then at 2:18 a. m.
On the 5th Venus and Latum will be
in conjunction and the costetlations
of Orion, Gemini and others, with
their bright stars, will surround them
with a rich entourage. Jupiter wii'
then be far to the west, and although
still technically a moving star, it rises
on the 15th at 8:15 p. m. Mars is too
near the sun to be seen.
.The day are diminishing one hour
and seventeen minutes in length dur
in gthe month, being thirteen hours
six minutes long on; the 1st, twelve
hours twenty-nine minutes on the
15th and eleven hours forty-nine hours
on the 30th. On the 24th at 4:26 a.
m. the sun is at the autumnal equiox,
crosses the equator and enters Libra.
Day and night are the equal and as-
