ST. HELENS MIST. FRIDAY. JULY ? 1916 Mi IS ii 91 4 : Federal Inquiry or ailroad Strike? Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen hat 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 it 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 hive demonstrated tint we cannot harmonize our difference! ol opinion and that eventually tht mattera in controvert)- must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, ne propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railway! be disposed of by one or the oilier of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, hy reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a por tion to consider and protect the right! and equitiei of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenut necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the 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 ts enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the questions involved; or . By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlanda 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, i The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as th public body to which thisJssue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other body with such an intimate knowledge i railroad condition! has such in unquestioned posi tion in the public confidence. The rate! the railroads may charge the public far transportation are now largely fixed By this Govern ment board. Out of every dollar received by the railroads from the public nearly one-half ii paid directly to the em 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. National EL1SHA LEE. Chairman r. R.
