New York, July 10-The leaders OF
the conductors and trainmen's unions
here arranging for a general strike on
Eastern railroads intimated today
that they would decline the invitation
to go to Washington Monday and dis
cuss their grievances with President
Wilson and w. B. Wilson, Secretary OF
Labor.
Without meaning to show disre-
spect for the President Of the United
States. l say frankly II is not for us
TO move from our present position" "
announced w. G. Lee, president of the
trainmen.
AS there is no counter proposition
from the railroads. what is there to
arbitrate? 1t seems a little late for
the government to interfere. We talk
ed the matter over in Washington last
week. but now the House has reported
bill amending the Erdman act, which
is neither satisfactory to us nor the
railroads"
President A b. Garretsop. of the
conductors. said:
we have official knowledge OF
what is going on in Washington, and
will not be influenced. We shall pro-
ceed with the strike arrangements
since the railroads have not changed
Tor an increase in wages. One thou
sand men representing the executive
committees Of the unions involved will
be in New York by Saturday morning.
and by Monday morning we expect to
nave an interesting statement for the
the public"
Both Garretson and w C. Lee char
acterized the circular sent out during
the day by the committee of managers
as misleading. In joint statement
they said:
The railroad managers claim tha,
while the increase in the cost of liv.
ing during the last twenty-five years
has been approximately 90 per cent
the railway employees in that period
have received an Increase in pay
amounting 10 39 per cent
Meanwhile. how has the owner OF
stocks Jared?
"A summary of reports from the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
the earnings OF railroads since 1890
purports TO show that the amounts
paid in dividends has Increased about
i:9 per cent
The Joint statement then says:
Attention is further called TO the
fact that the average rate was S.0a
per cent, the difference in results being
largely produced BY economies. which
placed far more onerous duties upon
every conductor and trainman in the
service"
Elisha Lee, representing the mana
gers. issued long answer to the union
men. claiming that on the New Yorl;
Central lines alone the demands would
amount to an increase OF 236 per cent
over the wage rate now being paid
He charged that the full crew Law
passed at the recent session Of the
New York Legislature would require
the company to employ additional, and
in the opinion of the mana cement
unnecessary men at an annual cost
OF S75o,00O.
