Head of Harrlman Lines Says Only
Solution of Labor Troubles Is Put
ting Merits of Controversy Up to
People, Who Are Nearly Always
night Bureau of information.
CHICAGO, April 10. Julius
Kruttschnltt, first asulntant to tho
Into K. II. Harrlman, and himself
one of tho leading railroad authori
ties of tho country, today expressed
to tho United States commission on
Industrial relations tho opinion that
tho only solution ot labor troubles Is
the designing of a vehicle through
which tho public, "which Is almost
always right," shall decide tho merits
of controversies.
"One ot tho duties of this com
mission," said Commissioner James
O'Connell to Mr. Kruttschnltt, who
was tho first witness at today's ses
sion Is to "ascertain tho causes of In
dustrial unrest and to recommend a
remedy It possible. What is your
opinion?''
Public Opinion Illgbt
"I havo observed a great many
strikes nnd In tho end public opin
ion deides Justly as a rule," replied,
the witness. 'Xo strike that I re
call ever succeeded with public opin
ion against It. Tho great American
public settles them all. Tho older
I grow tho moro I am convinced that
tho task of settling labor troubles
Is the task of keoplng tho public In
formed. "Tho establishment of a machine
for the purpose should bo compara
tively simple. Thero Is a publicity
clause In tho Canadian arbitration
law and tho Canadian's havo a ma
chine for Informing the public Im
partially of tho merits of labor dis
putes. Tho Canadian public thus of
ficially becomes a board ot arbitra
tion In all such cases. I don't favor
compulsory arbitration; It has been
a failure In New Zealand where It
was tried out for somo yoars.
Itcfer fo Government
"It was public opinion which de
cided tho strike ot 1911 la favor or
the railroads. Tho boards or media
tion and conciliation at Washington
seems a movo in tho right direction,
but machinery for getting correct and
impartial Information to tho great
arbitrating public Is needed.
"Tho government now controls tho
railroads, their earnings and oven
their expenses. It Is only right that
labor disputes which may lnvolvo tho
railroads In additional expenso shall
bo referred to It, so that, among
other things, It may point out whero
money tor Increased wages Is to conio
from."
