ILos Angeles, July 23. The Los

circularize every Senator and Con
gressman representing California, in
the interest of forced arbitration be
tween the railways and the trainmen
in the theratened strike.
A resolution to this effect has been
adopted toy the Chamber, which has
adopted the attitude expressed by the
North American Review, which has
brushed aside the arguments of both
the trainmen and the railways, and
points out that the public at large

Mr.
says m part:
"The railway problem of the Uni
ted States, which already was com
plex and difficult, has been rendered
doubly so by demands which the lo
comotive engineers, firemen, conduc
tors and other trainmen have made
upon the railways.
"Most people are disposed to re
gard sympathetically all movements
of workingmen to improve their con
dition, on the assumption that any ad
vantage labor may gain will be se
cured at the expense of capital. No
such assumption can be made in this
instance. The proposed increase in
wages would necessarily result in ad
vances in rates; and would, therefore,
be borne, by the people.
"The people pay directly all pas
senger fares, and they pay indirectly,
as part of the prices of the goods
they consume, practically all freight
rates. The average wage of the train
service employes is $1,253 a year.
The average earnings of the 6,615,046
employes in the manufacturing indus
try in the United' States in 1909 were
only $518. It is extremely doubtful
if the average income of farmers
would approach the wages of the train
service employes.
"The train service employes, ac
cording to their leaders, are strongly
averse to submitting their demands
to arbitration.
"The situation presented is remark
able. On the side are the railways,
with 630,000 stockholders, an army of
bondholders and almost a million and
a half of employes who are not di
rectly involved.
"On the other side are 309,000 em
ployes, or 18 per cent of the total
number, receiving almost ?400,000,.
wages, or 28 per cent

You've Wanted a Range
Like This-Here It Is
Every Housewife in America Has Long Dreamed of a
lange that would successfully burn coal or wood or oil,
singly or in combination. The Duplex-ALCAZAR is the
first range to fully fill the bill. It is as near perfection in
construction, operatmn aim iuna a ,
great manufacturing facilities can make it. The Duplex
ALCAZAR is a year 'round range that conforms to every
conceivable weather condition and every possible require
ment of cooking. Not a single part need be changed for
either fuel. In its very simplicity lies its strength.

have made
iway wages and
oi e of immediate
tsi importance and one, there
fore, with which the National Govern
ment should promptly deal. There is
as much reason why wages should be
arbitrated as why rates could lead
to complete interruption of transpor
tation service, while the very wage dis
pute now pending may do this. Now,
no calamity worse than a general in
terruption of railway service could be
fall the country except a great war.
It would throw practically all rail
way employes out of work. It would
inflict enormous losses on investors.
It would shut down every industrial
plant. It would bring quick starva
tion to the people of our cities; for
they are dependent on the railways
for their food supplies from day to
day.
"Whether the demands of the train
service employes are justifiable is a
question as susceptible of intelligent
and fair determination as any of those
innumerable questions arising be
tween individuals and classes which
are constantly submitted to the arbi
trament of courts, commissions and
other similar bodies.
"The only Government body perma
nently possessed of information which
will help in settling wage disputes
fairly, which is composed of men who
are always familiar with the situation
of the railways as a whole, and which
regulates throughout the country the
rates from which wages arc paid, is
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. The logic of the situation and
interests and rights of the employes,
the railways and the public demand
legislation providing for compulsory
arbitration of labor disputes, includ
ing the one pending, that may lead
to interruptions of railway service,
and delegating the duty of arbitration
to the body which regulates the rates
of railways and other nhases of their
business the Interstate Commerce
Commission.''
