Whichever figure is right, the financial cost to the carriers would be several times as great as their total net income in any late year. It would be substan tially greater than their anticipated qet profit for 1941, which is a year of abnormally high earnings due to the vast volume of defense shipments. The President delayed the strike by submitting the controversy to an emergency arbitration board made up of men with solid reputations for fairness and in tegrity in labor mediation work. The board gave the unions an increase of seven and one-half percent, which, it is estimated, would cost the railroads $270,- 000 a year. The carriers at once accepted the findings even though, their spokesmen said, they regarded the increase as an excessively heavy burden on the lines, increase as an excessively heavy burden on the lins. One day later the leaders of the five operating railway brotherhoods rejected the plan flatly and called for a nation-wide railroad strike beginning December 5. We will know soon what is to happen. No other strike of such magnitude and such infinite importance has been threatened.
