Recause of failure to reach an agree
meut in respect to the matter OF re-
duction of wages Of the employees OF the
sluthern Railway Company, the negotis-
t,ons have beeo broken of and President
Finley anuou aces that he will carry the
case to the Iaierstate Commerce Com
mission and 10 Commissioner of Labor
Neill under the Erdmsn act.
President Finley yesterday gave out a
statement In which he expresses conf
dence that there will yet be an amicable
adjustment of the controversy between
the Southern Railway and its men, and
sxpres.es regret that the latter cannot
see their way clear to accept the wage
scale w5ich the management has offered.
TIE into ended action Of the Southern
Railway 10 seeking the mediation of the
Interstate Commerce COmmissi IN aud the
Commissioner of Labor Is regarded as
marking the beginning Of a campaign
upon the part OF the railroads when such
controversies arise TO seek adjustment in
that matter rather than to negotiate with
their employees.
The proposition Of the management Of
the Southern Railway to reduce the wage
scsle was based, it is stated, upon the
ground that the existing business cOndi-
tions and the fal irg eff in revenue made
II imperatlvtly necessary. With that OBJ
iect ia Wow conferences have been going
on for two weeks or more between Of

resentatives of the employees effected,
which involved the locomotive engineer
aud fremen and mschinis,s and other
shopmen II was proposed to restore the
wage scala which was in efee. year
ago.
President Finley's statement is as fol-
low:
"Our employees, working uoder con-
tract, having declined our proposition in
regard to q reduction in wages, we still
feel confident that there should be an
amic able adjustment and do not propose
to proceed in any arbitrary way. We
have notified our employees of our re-
gret that they cannot at the present time
see their wsy clear to accept the sugges-
tions as to the wage scale, which The
management considers imperatively nee
essary under existing conditions, and
have stated to them that we will ask the
mediation of the chairman of the later
state Commerce Commission and the
Commissioner of Labor, under section 2
of the Erdman act, which provides that
in any controversy concerning wages
which threatens to interrupt the business
of an interstate carrier, either party may
ask the intervention Of the chairman OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Commissioner OF Labor, and in the
event OF such request, require The OH
cisls Damed to put themselves into COM
Inunicatiou with the parties TO the con-
troversy and use their bsst ehJrts, by
mediation and Cancellation, 10 bring
about an amicable adjustment of the
questions ct Issue.
ave have, accordingly, requested the
mediation u The officials named in the
hope OF arriving at so adjustment of all
MASTERS in controversy with our men,
which will be cordially accepted by both
interests involved"
