) PAGE FOUR LABOR RULES i BURDEN COSTS OFRSERVICE U. S. Railroad Labor Board Asked to Stop Payments for i Work Not Done. WOULD SAVE $300,000,000 Lower Cost of Service Can Be Secured Only by Cutting Expense, ! Attsrbury Say. Urging emergency action by the United States Railroad Labor Board to end "gross waste and Inefficiency" prevailing under present working rules and conditions, Geueral W. W. Atter bury, vice president of the Pennsyl vania railroad, In a statement to the board in session at Chicago said In part: Many railroads are not now earning, and with present operating costs and traffic have no prospect of earning, even their bare operating expenses, leaving them without any net return end unable to meet their fixed charges. The emergency presented can be met either by an advance in frelRht and passenger rates, or by a reduction In iperatlng expenses. With declining prices and wages In Industry and agriculture, the country demands that the solvency of the rail roads must be assured by a reduction In operating expenses, and not by a further advance of rates. The National Agreements, rules and working conditions forced on the rail roads as war measures cause gross waste and inefficiency. Would Save $300,000,000 I estimate that the elimination of this waste would reduce railway op erating expenses at least $H0O.O00,00O. It would be far better to save this sum by restoring conditions of efficient and economical operation than to reduce wages. We believe that as the wages of rail road employees were the last to go up 1l)?y' should also be the Inst to come down, but we do Insist that for an am ple wage an honest day's work shall Ire given. The public has the right to Insist that this must he obtained. ' The public has also the right to ex pect that the railway executives, with 1he co-opemtlon of the regulatory bodies and the employees, will as rap idly as possible reduce the cost of rail way operation so as to insure eventual ity a reduction In .rates. Ultimately a readjustment of basic wages will be required. Meantime It Is to the inter ests of all concerned, Including labor, that the rules and working conditions Bhall be made conducive to the highest efficiency In output per man. ; Losses in Income Irreparable When wiu;es have been too low the harm done has been offset by retroac tive Increases. Losses of railway net operating Income are Irreparable. You cannot make retroactive tomorrow the savings that should have been made today. The hoard cannot possibly write ttie rules and working conditions of every railroad In this country and adjust them equitably to varylntr geograph ical, opera I in-; mid social conditions. It rests entirely with the board to determine whether this whole situa tion shall drift into chaos, and or derly procedure become impossible ex cept at the price of railroad bank ruptcy, financial shock and still wider unemployment. The Labor Board can prevent this Cr-tastrophe by declaring that the Na- tional agreements, rules and working (-"nditionj coming over from the war i 'od are terminated at once; that I question of reasonable and eco- Domical rules and working conditions hall be rotminiled to negotiations be tween each mirier and its own em-I plnyces; are I tint as the linsis for su'-ti negotiations, the B'Teements. rules, did workitii conditions In effect on each railroad -is of Iloceinber 31, 1!1T, ! fcluill be re e-c .-tliHsl ed. If the tumid will do this, the Labor Committee of tl.e Association or ltiit, way r.xecii'Kes will urte upon ev ery rail roic I ciiuip-iny a party to I'e Vision No. 'I that no proposal fur the reduct'o'i of lm.ic wnr-s shall I.e made within 'In- next suci ee ling nine ty days. This will afford an oppor- tunlty to g iuse the economics wl.l.-b j can be aceiMiipllshed through more ; efficient rules and working conditions, i also will afford additional time hlch to realize the benefits of a ..llier decline in the cost of living. Relief lnpritive and Equitable The course which we are recom mending Is ti"l only Imperative but equitable. The War labor Board ilec'a'-ed that the war pprto I whs an iu'errc-iiiim. to lie used neither bv employer nor em j.loyee for 'tie porpoM' of bettering or impairing 'I.e p.nlt'on of either. To pcrpevni'e as the normal rules and working con lltbns on tl.e rail roads, tl.e evT'ior linary provisions ot the war peri .1 Is distinct vlo'atl..:: of all promise The war has now Veen over nior thus two ye:tr The time has cor- when, If the railway! are to be eF-rently n1 economica'ly operated, In a-cordanee w'th the pro vision of the transportation act, nor mal conditio-" of employment and o working cond t,c mutt be restored and InereaseJ efficiency of labor be Mcwrtd.
