Newspaper Page TextEIGHT PAGES DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1916. PAGE SEVEN 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: "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our difference! of opinion, and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter cited agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the rail ways 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 con trol of trie revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and equities of all tfie 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 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 to enable the Commission to consider ana promptly dispose of the questions involved: or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act). I Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train servic e 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 h.is such an unquestioned position in the public con fidence The rates the railroads may cTiarge the public tor transportation are now largely fixed by this Government board Out of every dollar received bv the rail roads from the public nearly one-halt is paid d'rectlv to the employes as wages; and the money ro payincrea j 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 emp1 yes, the owners of the railroads, and the public. A Question For the Public to Decide The railro ds feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to thesj employes, now highly paid ana constituting only om'-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.

It was again evident' in the opening market that slocks in the war group are gradually drift i i, j. back to where they started. The market for all slocks was gen rally irregular at the opening, with a firmer feeling developing as trading progressed. During the early period the list stif fened and mure than held its own, but at the end of the first hour a ser ious reaction set In, and was reflected In nearly every department. Some sharp losses were sustained on the lower movement, and the re covery later in the day was as irre gular a the reaction. The rails held best as a class, and w hile they were not as active as dur ing yesterday's market, prices main tained a comparatively steady trend. Heading continued to lead, and the price wan hammered below par at first, but absorption was of good or-1 der Crucible Steel fell off almost 2 1-2 points under close before the strong feeling was emphasized. Steel common was steady around 66 3-4 at first. The copper stocks were unusually active, and considerable pressure was applied to that department. Anacon da. Butte & Superior and Inspiration were most affected. Baldwin and American Locomotive stocks s. .hi down in heavy trading. -Marine preferred was weak. Mexican Petroleum posted a lirge amount of business, with the, price staying for the most part above 102. In the forst hour the total pales am ounted to 167 :'i0 shares.
