Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
*
Faced by demands from tbe conductor», engineer», firemen and brakemen
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation cofts 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.

Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New

or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether
authority shall be given these leaden to declare a nation-wide strike.

A Question For the Public to Decide
T he 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 Irons a public tribunal that
shall determine the merits of the cate after a review of all the facts.
The tingle issue befert the cauntry is whether this cantraversy is f he settled by on
