RAIL LABOR EXPECTS
BIG LEGAL BATTLE
Mr. Hines Declines to Repre
sent Brotherhoods.
BOARD MEETING TODAY
Ex-Director-General of Roads De
clares He Is Xot la Position
to Act for Unions.
CLEVELAND. O., Oct . (By the
Associated Press.) That the "big;
five" railroad transportation organl
zatlon chiefs are expecting; a legal
battle when they appear before the
railroad labor board tomorrow in
Chicago was indicated today when
they sought to retain Walker D
Bines, ex-dlrector-general of rail
roads, to handle any legal phases. Mr,
Hines told the brotherhood executives
that he "was not in a position" to
represent them and returned to New
York.
Unless the labor board has changed
its attitude concerning the necessity
of. general chairmen of the five labor
organisations appearing at, the Chi
cago meeting. It Is anticipated that
one of the first legal squabbles to be
decided will be on the action of
W. 8. Stone, president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, In no
tifying his general chairmen they
seed not answer the board's citation.
Only Severn Are to Attend.
Mr. Stone announced tonight that
only himself and six grand officers,
In whom the authority of the or
ganization Is vested, will attend the
conference.
Referring to conflicting reports In
telegrams exchanged between Chair
man R. M. Barton of the railroad
labor board and President Stone re
garding the necessity of general
chairmen of the brotherhoods being
requested to attend the Chicago hear
ings. Mr. Stone said:
"My chairmen are scattered all
over the country, and It would be im
possible for me to get them to Chicago
In time for the opening of the hear
ings." When asked how long he and his
grand officers expected to remain in
Chicago, Mr. Stone replied that he
could not answer.
Other Chiefs to Center.
Other brotherhood chiefs would not
indicate whether their general chair
men would be present, except W. G.
Lee. president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, who has ordered
the approximately 200 general chalr
men and grand officers of his organ
ization to be present and with whom
he will confer in Chicago tomorrow.
It is understood that the other
chiefs and their officers will confer
separately preliminary to the meeting.
In a statement today, W. S. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Englnemen, said
"the men are determined to peacefully
leave the service of the railroads until
a satisfactory adjustment has been
reached."
strike Declared Target.
Mr. Carter also stated that "If press
reports are to be taken at their face
the whole power of the administra
tion is going to be used to defeat
the, strike of the employes," adding:
"Not one word comes through the
press that any Influence Is being
used on the railroad corporations."
Mr. Carter's statement, in part, fol
lows: "A source of Irritation which has
resulted in an upheaval among rail
road employes Is the general attitude
of the railroads and of 'everybody
else.' Including the administration,
that upon labor must rest the entire
burden of getting back to 'normalcy."
"The 'open shop' propaganda of
last year made it evident to railroad
employes that there was a conspiracy
on the part of 'big business' to de
stroy labor unions, if it were possible
to achiev . that purpose.
Propaganda I'se AlleKed.
"Immediately upon return of the
railroads to private control leading
railroad presidents and others hired
for the purpose began a nation-wide
propaganda to convince the public
that the high rates were caused by
high wages.
"The oppos'tion of railroad em
ployes to the enactment of the Cum-mins-Esch
law was based upon two
principles:
"1. One of the results of the trans
portation act was to increase the sup
posed valuation of the railroads from
less than $'3,000,000,000 to almost
$19,000,000,000. and upon this Inflated
value the Interstate commerce com
mlHsion was required to fix a freight
and a passenger rate that presum
ably would give to railroad owners a
return for their Investments of be
tween 6H and 6 per cent. Any man
connected wiih the railroad business
should know that such an Increase in
capital charges could not be incurred
without disaster, either to the corpo
rations or to the employes. They
knew that If these railroads upon this
great Inflation of capital investment
were to earn Hi or I per cent, rail
way employes must suffer In the end.
Hoard Make-up Discussed.
"2. Title III of the act creates a
railroad labor board made up of three
'factions': the railway employes are
represented, the railway corporations
are represented and the 'public' Is
represented thereon. If there are three
representatives of ths railroad corpo
ration and three 'representatives of
the public.' then all that would be
necessary to destroy the standard of
living of railroad employes would be
to create a public opinion so that the
'representatives of the public' would
unite with the representatives of the
railroad corporations and thereby es
tablish a two-thirds majority against
labor on the labor board.
"A vast number of railroads, not
content with the wage reduction,
brought about by decision No. 147 of
the labor board, have demanded re--vlslon
of wage agreements that
would destroy rules in effect for
many years. Nothing has alarmed the
men to a greater extent than this
seeming determination to abrogate
. rule, until announcement is now
itade that another wage reduction
will be insisted upon.
' Infractions, Are Reviewed.
"At the meeting of all of the gen
eral chairmen in Chicago in July In
structions were Issued to the chief
executives of the organizations to en
deavor to get some understanding
with the proper representatives of
the railroad corporations so that
peace could again be restored. Not
withstanding efforts extending over
days, the only reply obtainable
from the acrredlted representatives
of the railroad corporations was that
they would not agree to leave the
rules of employment intact and would
not agree not to demand further wage
reductions This situation was set
forth In the strike ballot submitted
tc membership.
"When the ballots were counted
and it was learned that an over
whelming majority of the railroad
employea had voted in favor of a
strike the general committee, re
luctant to resort to a strike, adopted
a resolution Instructing the chief
executives again to get into com
munication with the proper repre
sentatives of the railroads In the
hope that there might be some sat
isfactory adjustment of all these
matters In controversy. This was
done, and at a meeting of the presi
dents of the railroad corporations in
Chicago on October 14 a committee
was appointed to meet the chief
executives of the organizations, at
which meeting the chief executives
used every effort to persuade the
railroad presidents to adopt some
conciliatory attitude. In reply the
chief executives were told that the
railroad presidents had that after
noon passed a resolution that they
would proceed Immediately to secure
another wage reduction. This was
reported to the committees of general
chairmen, when they set the date for
the strike and asked for approval of
the chief executives, which approval
was given.
"If press reports are to be taken
at their face value the whole power
of the administration Is going to be
used to defeat the strike of the em
ployes. Xot one word comes through
the press that any influence is being
URed upon the railroad corporations.'
What is to be done between now and
October 30, no one knows. There
seems to be no disposition on the

board, and that it had determined
several weeks ago to settle this mat
ter first.
130O Cases Still Cswettled.
Of tbe 2u00 cases submitted to tbe
board, 1300 still are unsettled, the
statement said, pointing out that
proper co-operation between the car
riers and the unions would have pre
vented many coming to ths board.
The board's statement, members said,
was Issued tonight, the eve of the
strike hearing to which both the
unions and carriers have been sum
moned for questioning to determine
if the transportation act is being vi
olated by the unions in their strike
plans, In the hope that it would re
sult In representatives of one side or
the other voluntarily offering some
plan to clear up the crisis.
The board has no definite plan, it
was said, and will try in the hearing
merely to bring out all the facts.
A statement Issued by the execu
tives' committee declared that the
carriers were powerless to take any
other position than that of seeking
further wage cuts.
Decision Declared Target.
"Rallroaa executives are' not aware
of any present dispute betweei. them
and their employes," said the state
ment. "The strike vote was taken
solely against a decision of the labor
board reducing wages by 12 per cent
last July.
"The railroads have determined to
seek to reduce rates, and as a means
to that end to further reduce wages.
But the carriers have expressly de
cided to proceed in accordance with
the law. . . .
"The railroads wish It expressly
understood that they would deprecate
a strike, but that their first obli
gation is to the public to ren
der adequate service at reasonable
rates. . . .
"The Issue Is clear. If present
wages are continued, rates cannot be
lowered. If rates are to be reduced
present wages cannot be paid. The
railroads are powerless to take any
other position."
The board's statement to the car
riers follows in part:
"One of the principal causes of this
(strike) trouble lies in the fact that j
said carriers have notified certain I
executives of said organizations (con- I
ductors, engineers, firemen, trainmen, j
switchmen and telegraphers) that It
ia me purpose or ine carriers to apply
to the railroad labor board for a
further reduction In wages, additional
to that ordered July 1, 1921.
"The proper consideration of the
conditions surrounding matters now
pending before the board should re-,
move any Immediate occasion for
strife between the carriers and said
organizations of employes growing
out of a possible reduction of wages
by the labor board.
"Since the organization of the
board a little more than 18 months
ago. more than 2000 cases Involving
disputes between the carriers and
employes have been filed with ths
board. More than TOO have been dis
posed of . . . The board baa been
deluged with minor disputes which
would not have been sent here bad
the carriers and their employes co
operated in the establishment of ad
justment boards, as provided in the
transportation act.
"Three questions of paramount Im
portance have been before the board,
the wage increase of 1920, the wage
reduction of 1921, and the adoption
of new rules and working conditions.
"The two wage controversies were
disposed of . . . The board has
been Justly urged by the carriers to
complete - its consideration of the
rules and hand down its decision. . .
Rale Decision Pat F"irst.
"It is the Judgment of the board
that as a matter of procedure' it
would be unwise, and as a matter of
policy, unjust, to discontinue consid
eration of rules and working condi
tions and enter into a prolonged hear
ing of an application to reduce wages
at this time. ... .
"It is not within the province of
the board to shut the door in the
face of either carriers or employes,
but ... it is within the discretion
of the board to fix the oraer in which
it will take up the numerous mat
ters submitted to it.
"It will thus become apparent that
the employes, who are protesting
against a further wage cut, are cross
ing orioges long before they can pos
sibly get to them and that carriers
cannot hasten a wage reduction hv
applying for it at tula time. . . .
Strike Effects Denied.
"The board : V . is not affected by
the threat of a- strike ... It
adopted several weeks ago a policy
of making everything secondary to
consideration of rules and working
Conditions, but . . . even with the
greatest diligence., it will reoulre
considerable time to complete the de
cision oi rules.
In view of the above considera
tions it is the purpose of the board
that the submission of carriers and
employes on rules and working con
ditions shall be completely disposed
of as to any particular class of em
ployes before a hearing is had on

Daugherty Declares President Will
Act Department of Justice
Is Ready for Walkout.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 25. An
nouncement of the course to be fol
lowed by the government in the event
of a railroad strike may be expected
from President Harding, it was In
dicated today by Attorney-General
Daugherty.
The president, he said, would no'
doubt "say what he had to say when
the time came." Those responsible
for the situation would have to take
the consequenses, he added.
While maintaining his disbelief that
a general strike would materialise,
Mr. Daugherty declared the justice
department was prepared to act "Ju
diciously within the law" to prevent
a tie-up of the transportation facili
ties. Plana Not Discussed.
He did not discuss specifically the
department plans, explaining that the
government might use one method in
one section, adopt another course in
another and use all of its legal weap
ons In a third. qj?
Discussing the country's attitude
toward a possible strike, he declared ,
it his opinion that "the American peo- j
pie have no patience with this sltua- j
tion." I
Conferences with the district attor- I
neys from New York. Chicago, Cleve
land, Buffalo and Indianapolis were
completed today. Mr. Daugherty said,
adding that they had a full knowl
edge of the department's prepara
tions. Western Attorneys to Meet.
Six or seven district attorneys In
western districts are to meet within
the next few days In a western city to
discuss the plans, he announced.
Mean-while. the attorney-general
declared. telegraphic Instructions
were being prepared for the district
attorneys Informing them how they
should proceed.
An Investigation, he added, had
made clear that, "even If the strike
should take place, there Is no danger
that any part of the country will
suffer any serious hardships from
lack of food or fuel for a poriod of at
least two weeks after a general
tie-up."
An abundance of food supplies, ex
cept fresh meats, was reported, but
the department's agents declared pub
lic officials were warning against the
hoarding of foodstuffs and fuel to
prevent a shortage.
The fuel supply was believed to be
normal, except in the northwest, and
lighting plants and other public utili
ties were found to have sufficient
supplies for from two to six weeks.

Do you care as much for your babies

EVERY florist knows this:
Flowers which will thrive
in air warmed by hot -water radi
ators will wilt in the heat from a
hot-air furnace or stove.
Warm, moist air builds health;
hot, dry air undermines it.
Have you ever considered these
facts in their relation to the winter
health of your babies?
The American Radiator Com
pany considered them when
conducting the scientific experi
ments that produced ARCOLA.
You simply must see ARCOLA.
It is new and different. Built by
the Company whose larger heat
ing plants warm mansions, cathe
drals and even the White House
itself, it is guaranteed to be the
most perfect hot-water heating
outfit for small homes and stores
which science has produced.
' Handsome as a fine piece of fur
niture and costing surprisingly lit

dining-room or kitchen, flooding
the room with warmth.
' American Radiators connected
with it, carry its warmth to every
other room ; while the kitchen tank,
' also connected, provides an abun
dance of hot ' water for washing
and bathing.
And we guarantee that if your
home is now heated by 6toves or
a hot-air furnace, ARCOLA will pay
for itself in the fuel it will save. It
