Hew York. — The keynote of the
reply made by railway executives
representing more than 180 Class 1
railroads of the United States to the
.proposition of President Harding that
’“All strikers he returned to their work
« ad their former positions, with sen­
iority and other rights unimpaired,”
Usa in the Just paragraph of their
reply to the president, ns follows:
*lt is submitted that the atrlUag
does n o t provide pro tectio n In th e ir
p re s e n t em p lo y m en t b o th to tb s
lo y a l em ployees w ho rem ain ed la
th e serv ic e a n d to th e n e w . em ­
ployee« e n te rin g It-’’
T he executives had accepted the
First two conditions proposed by the
president, nkmely, that both employ­
ers and employees accept the deci­
sions of the labor hoard, and that all
law salts growing out of the strike
bo withdrawn; and In relation to the
third condition state, not only os
above, bat also as follows:
Agree With the President.
“The railroad executives and man­
agers agree entirely with the presi­
dent’s statement in bis letter that It
la wholly unthinkable that the rail­
road labor board can he made h use­
ful agency of the government In main­
taining industrial pence in the rail­
way service unless employers and
workers are both prompt and unques­
tioning to* their acceptance of its
decisions.
“Many men la the service refused
, to Join the strike and la so doing
were assured of the seniority rights
accruing to thorn and of the perman­
ence of their positions. On some Im­
portant lines 50 per cent or more re­
fused to join the strike. To theae old
loyal employees have been added
thousands of new men who were em­
ployed and could be secured only up-
on a definite promise that their serv­
ices would be retained, regardless of
the settlement of the strike, with all
the right« appertaining to such em­
ployment, Including that of seniority
under the working rales sad regula­
tions previously approved by the rail­
road labor board.
MJiiat the Opposite Effect.”
“We especially point out that a re­
fusal to the old men who remained
la the service and to the new men who
accepted service of the rights of sen­
iority incident to their employment
would have just the opposite effect
to that desired by the president, and
would moat seriously discredit the
labor board.
"The board itself prescribed the
rules of seniority under which the
m an referred to have secured
their seniority rights, and the rail­
road companies have neither the legal
n o r moral right to deprive these men
■of those rights. By public utterances
since the strike began the board has
recognized and emphasised these
rights, and to deny them now would,
instead of upholding the authority of
the labor board, overthrow its rules
and discredit its authority. The chair­
m an of the labor board at the time
th e strike was called made the- fol­
lowing public statement:
“ TTpon one questio n th e strik in g
em ployees should n o t be deceived!
T h e ir le ad e r has said th a t th a
s tr ik e r s a re no longer e m p l o y e d

rie rs a re giving th e ir fo rm er em ­

m e n w ho rem ained In th e service
a n d those w ho a re now e n te rin g It
w ill h av e right* of sen io rity th a t
th e b o ard could n o t Ignore.'
What the Proposed Plan Maana.
“It roust bo understood that any
proposal that employees now on strike
-shall be parmitted to return to the
wnrvice without Impairment to their
mmlortty, la merely another way of
aaggastlng that those men who took
wmployment In this crisis in good
f a ith , relying on the promisee ot the
m il roads to protect them In their
positions. these promises being Justi­
fied by the authoritative utterances
v f th e labor board, and thus have
made possible the continued operation
■ef the railroads, shall aow be sscri-
t t o d In favor of n&a now on strike.

who not oaly brought about the crtala,
but, by their own action and declar»
tioa, are no longer employees ot the
railways, under the Jurisdiction of the
United States Railroad Labor Board,
or subject to the application ot the
tn u p N rts tio t act.
“la addition to the necessity of up­
holding the labor board and maintain­
ing the pledges made by the railroads
to the men now at work, there is the
practical effect on the supervisory of­
ficers of a violation ot the pledgee
they ware authorised to make. Their
diaeourasemtat and damoralisatlon
would be far snore disastrous than this
or nay other atrlke."
