Reduce Their Wages

Railroad Men Tell President Ia Wit
Reduce Their Wages
Washington. Nov. 15-An earnest
protest was made to 1lne president
against the proposed railroad freight
rate legislation. The protest was aIed
by representatives Of the five great
labor organizations connected with
railroading-the Engineers, Firem on,
Conductors. Svitchmen and Trainmen.
The members OF the delegation which
called on the president represented
the several organizations. They point
ed out 20 him that railroad rate Iegis-
laton logically meant tho lowering
OF rates This they contended will be
followed by a lessening Of the earning
power OF railroads and consequently
by reduction eventually OF tho wages
or railroad employees.
In repsonse President Roosevelt as
sured the delegation that IL was not
his purpose or the purpose or those
who favored railroad rate legislation
20 do anything that might injure the
railroads Of the country or. inciden-
tally. the employees OF the railroads
lie said that il was his purpose that
all GLASSES shippers and
employes-should have perfectly fair
treatment lie was OF the opinion that
the proposed legislation would not
mean a reduction necessarily in rail
road rates, and suggested that the
mem bers OF the delegation. therefore.
were proceeding on q wrong under
standing OF the situation.
