Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen
t1 at would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs o
$.00,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by
riference 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 suth
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 wt cannot harmoniie our differences of opinion and that eventually the
matters in controversy must be pawed upon by other and disinterested agencies 1 herefore, we propose that your
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 right# and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue
necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be |ust and
reasonable' or in the event the Interstate Commerie Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises
that we jointly request Congress to take such act.on as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and
promptly dispose of the questions involved; or
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law (1 he Newlands Act).
Leaders Refuse Offer and Fake 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 arc 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:
ployes as wages; and the money to pay increased wages
ran come from no other source than the rates paid
by the public.
No other body with such an intimate know.<dge
of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi-
tion in the public confidence.
The rates the railroads may chare* the public for
transportation are now largely fixed Dy this Govern-
ment board.
Out of every dollar received by the railroads from
the public nra
y dollar received by tne raiiroaos iro
rly one-half is paid directly to the en
The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con-
trol over rates, is in a position to make a complete
investigation snd render such decision as would pro-
tect the interesis of the railroad employes, the owner*
of 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 whether this controversy is to be settled by an
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
