Federal Inquiry
Railroad
yL& -use
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers firemen and brakemcn
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
t 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 on(renco have drmonitrated thin we cannot harmoni? our diflrrenrra of pirtron and that eiially tht
matlrra in enntroveray mint be pined upon by other ind diniritrrrnted agenciet. Therefore, we propoae thai your

Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service 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:
pfoyee an wagea; and the money to pay inrrraned wage
can come from no other aoitrcc than tU tutt paiuV

the public nearly one. half is paid directly to the env
trot over rates, is in a position to make a complete
invcttigation and render such decision as would pro
ud the interests of the railroad, employe. tk owner
of the railroads, sod the public
A Question For the Public to Decide
The 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 con-'--:ig only
one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public 1 that
shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
The single issue beore the country is whether this tontrovtrsy is to bt uttled by an
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
