siderably surprised when vountf un!
old alike were handed a slip of card
board on which stood out in bold black
letters "I hereby enlist for the war,"
and with instructions below to fill out
the card and take it to the "Recruit
ing Officers" in the vestibule, of mail
it to the pastor.
A closer examination revealed, how
ever, that "enlistment" meant that "I
promise to give for the relief of in
nocent sufferers from the War in Eu
rope and Asia a weekly offering (or
its equivalent) as lone as the wr
lasts." Space for the signature and
address followed this statement. The
instructions were to make a cross ov
er the amount, from one cent to five
dollars, which would be given each
week, or quarterly if preferred, and to
indicate on a dotted line what nation
the donor especially preferred to have
included in the distribution of the
church's gift.

Federal .'''Inquiry '' or
, Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that
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 is 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: .w ?."., t;;.", .-.. rf'.'-i
.. "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion,
and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter- ".
csted agencies. Therefore, we propose that your propos Is and the proposition of the rail- "
ways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: '.- v;
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 con-
, trol of the revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and
..: v'. '. equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to .meet the :, ,. . i
added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and v '
Sw 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 maybe
necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the questions
' . involved: or x . r
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of theiFederal law" (The Ncwlands 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.
The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public
body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: ,
No other body with such an intimate
knowledge of railroad conditions has such
an unquestioned position in the public con
fidence. The rates the railroads may charge the
ublic tor transportation are now largely
xed by this Government board.
Out of every dollar received by the rail
roads from the public nearly one-half is paid
directly to the employes as wagesi and the
money to pay increased wages can come from
no other source than the rates paid by the
public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission,
with its control over rates, is in a position
to make a complete investigation and render
such decision as would protect the interests
of the railroad employes, the owners 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 ana 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 ts to be settled by an impartial
Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
