FAIL TO AGREE ON
WAGE: REDUCTION.
Southern Railway Appeals to In.
terstate Commerce Commission
and Neill for Mediation.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-Be-
cause of failure to reach an agree
ment in respect to tho matter Of a
reduction of wages of the employees OF
the Southern Railway Company. the
negotiations have been broken off and
President Finley announces that he
Will carry the case to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and to Commits
sioner of Labor Neill, under tho Erd-
mann act.
President Finley to-day gave out a
statement in which he expresses con-
fidence that there yet will be an ami
cable adjustment of the controversy
between the Southern Railway and its
men, and expresses regret that the
latter cannot see their way clear TO
accept the wage scale which the man
agement has offered. The intended ac-
ton OF the Southern Railway In seek
ing the mediation of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Com
missioner of Labor is regarded as
marking the beginning of Il campaign
upon the part of the railroads when
such controversies arise to seek adj
justment In that manner rather than
to negotiate with their employees. The
proposition of the management of the
Southern Railway to reduce the wage
scale was, based, 1t is stated, upon the
ground that the existing business con-
ditions and the falling off in revenue
made it imperatively necessary.
With that object in view conferences
have been going on for two weeks or
more between officials of the Southern
Railway and representatives of the
employees affected. which involved the
1fo nj
machinists and other shopmen. 1t was
proposed to restore the wage scale
which was in effect year ago. Presi-
dent Finleys statement is as follows:
Our employees, working under
contract, having declined our pro-
position in regard to reduction
OF wages, we still feel confident
that there should be an amicable
adjustment, and do not propose to
proceed in any arbitrary way. We
have notified our employees Of our
regret that they cannot at the
present time see their way clear to
accept suggestion as to the wage
scale which the management con-
siders imperatively necessary under
existing conditions, and have stated
to them that we will ask the media
tion of the chairman Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and
the Commissioner of Labor, under
section of the Erdmann act,
which provides that in any contro-
versy concerning wages which
threatens to interrupt the business
of an interstate carrier, either par
ty may ask the Intervention of the
chairman Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission AID the Commits
sioner of Labor, and in the event OF
such request, requires the officials
named to put themselves into COM
munication with all practicable eN-
petition with the parties to the :
controversy and use their best eff
forts by mediation and concilia-
ton to bring about an amcable
adjustment of the questions at
issue.
I'VE have accordingly requested
the mediation Of the officials named
In the hopes of arriving at an adj
justment of all matters in contro-
versy with our men which will be
cordially accepted by both interests
involved"
