engineers than existing rules upon
many Of the roads.
Problem Complex
The problem before the board was
one OF such difficulty that it be.
came necessary for the board to con-
slider the principles which should OBJ
tain. The facts aDon which it reach
ed its conclusions were so involved
and numerous that they cannot be
summarized. The Investigations re-
garding the compensation to capital,
the intercorporate .elations OF the
railroads, their present earnings,
their future possible earnings ami
other factors. were so complex that
the board was unable TO arrive at
regarding the ability OF
the roads to pay an increased com
pensation.
# was determined, however that
a reasonable wass should be paid.
therefore. the claim OF
the railroads that they were unable
10 bear an increase, the board agreed
to the principle that the engineers
should be paid 1 fair wage.

To place such a strike beyond
the realms Of probability, the board
advocates the creation OF federal and
state wage commissions. These
commissions, the board suggests,
should be vested with practically the
same powers over organized labor
as public utilities commissions now
exercise over quasi public corpora
tions.
1t is the belief OF the board,
continues the decision, that in the
last analysis the only solution is to
qualify the principle Of free con-
tract in the railroad service"
From this suggestion p. II. Norris
sey, the representative OF the en-
gineers on the board, di5sents.
Increase Not General.
While the award increases wages
on some railroads and for some
classes of service, it holds that a
general increase on all roads is not
warranted
The award dates back to May /
ana will hold :or one year. Mr.
Morrissey has already indicated
doubt as to its renewal In the past
with several notable exceptions
contracts, between the roads and
the engineers have been renewed
annually.
! The attitude Of the railroads as
outlined IN statement today by
, President Daniel Willard Of the Bal
timore & Ohio, who represented the
railroads on the arbitration board
is likewise indefinite as to the fu-
ture.
| My acceptance of the award as 1
whole does not signify my approval
OF all the findings in detail said
President Willard He added that,
although the award is not such as
the railroads had hoped for" nor
such as they felt justified by the
facts. they, now accept without
question the conclusion w. hich was
reached
The members of the board of ar
filtration are appointed by the CHIEF
Justice OF the supreme court Of the
United States, the United States
commissioner Of labor, and the pre-
siding Judge OF the United States
Ommerce court.
