Dissent of Railroads.

"We dissent from this award, - read
their report, "because Standardization
is chimerical and uneconomic; because
such increased cost of living as has
occurred is not sufficient to Justify the
increase granted; because statistics
prove that risk has decreased and
hours of labor have decreased and the
weight of evidence is that labor has
not increased -
Of vital Importance to the employees
is the finding that present schedules OF
pay are not to be changed OF disturbed
in any way where they exceed the
amounts named. Nor are employees to
be curtailed, either in mileage or hours
of labor, to offset the increases
granted
The railroads contention that they
are between two horns OF a dilemma
from which there is no apparent escape
that they must either raise. rates or cease
raising wages-is dismissed by the arbi-
traitors with this assertion:
This board believes 1t must make it's
findings without any reference TO the
dilemma In which the railroads are evi-
IDENTIFY placed, The interstate commerce
commission and not this arbitratio
board has the duty of determining wheth-
er the railroads can earn in addition to
their other charges. without an increas Sc

Decrease of Hazard.

However. the board calls the attention

tracking and improved signals, On this
point the award says;
"All OF these things cost in the aggre-
gate an immense sum OF money Any
policy that would make it impossible for
the railroads to command this money
would be a profound misfortune TO the
whole nation. Such policy would be
bad enough In It's effect upon transport
tation, because II would reduce the ef-
hclency OF the railroads, but II would be
criminal In the sense that It would make

sands follow their hazardous occupa ton
under conditions more hazardous than
are necessary. and, indeed, more hazar-
dous than are justifiable in a country
like this.
The easing safety of passengers Is
equally involved. No American reads the
records OF railroad accidents In the
United States without feeling sense Of
reproach. This board wishes TO call the
attention of the country TO its belief that
railroad accidents can be reduced almost
precisely In proportion TO the undermining

Assault on Measure Made by
F. A. Vanderlip and ]. H.
Johnson, Dean of New
York University.
HOUSE CHAIRMAN
MAKES ADMISSION
Convinced That IL Regional
Banks Are Too Many;
What Vanderlip Would
Say to Wilson.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Banking ant
currency reform with special reference
to the Owen-Glass currency bill was the
subject of a debate tonight before the
Economic club of New York, In which
Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Repre-
sentative Glass of Virginia defended
the measure and Frank A. VanderliI
and Joseph T. johnson, dean Of New
York university, attacked portions OF
the bill.
Senator Owen pointed out the essen
tials OF the currency bill and told how
tho senate committee had tried to meet
objections to it. "The committee has
been between Scylla and Charybdis,
he said. HWe have had all kinds OF
advice and we have pursued the middle
course.
In urging that the proposed re-
eional reserve banks ought to be en-
powered, in case of exigency, to serve
their function by transferring credits
from one to the other, Senator Owen
said:
'In my Judgment no such power will
ever be exercised. Yet if national ex-
igency should arise, the power ought to
be lodged somewhere in order to pro-
teet the national credit"
Mr Vnnderlip said old prejudices and
new platforms would not solve the cur
rency legislation problem.
''It is not likely to be solved cor
rectly by party caucus" he declared,
''nor through the aid of an admins
tration whip"
Vanderlip's Belief.
Mr.. Vauderlip said he believed it
would be desirable to have Legislation
completed at this session, adding, but
il is far more desirable that legislation
should be sound than that 1T be merely
immediate. There is nothing In the
business or financial situation that de-
mands immediate action.
Could he speak direct to the presl-
dent. Mr.. Vandcrlip continued, he
would say TO him:
IL you will now throw the tremen-
dous weight Of your influence on the
side Of free intellectual judgment and
against the brute force of party ma
.iority, if you will throw the great
weight of your influence in direction
that Will lead to an exercise of free
dom or thought without political re.
striction, if you see to it that decisions
may be made upon the economic merit
of the proposals and not be tied and
hampered by party domination, you
will then have earned lasting praise.
Do not again permit the intellect OF
the men who must decide this great
question TO be bound and hampered by
caucus rule. Do not permit partisan
pride to stand in the way Of achieving
what is right, See TO it that there is
free play for the sound and unhampered
judgment OF congress and then you will
indeed have brought TO this country a
new freedom.

of the bill would be removed by one

Cost of Living Basis.

In reaching its award the board ruled
mainly against the employees on four
out of five points submitted as reasons
why the increase should be granted and
found for them on the fifth-the in
creased cost Of living. Since 1909,
when last an increase was granted, the
arbitrators found the cost of living had
increased per cent. Certain minor
contentious also were conceded to the
employees.
"The board does not found its action
entirely upon the increased cost of liv.
ing," reads the award document of
seventy-five pages, "though it looks
upon this as basic.
Without attempting to standardize
the rate of pay between railroad EN-.
ployees Of the east and west, the board
asserts it's belief that it is desirable
but not possible at the present time.
AS to this the board voices the opinion
that congress should make an inquiry
as to whether there is any longer a
substantial reason for the maintenance
of wage differential between the two
sections
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-11-11
Proposed Inquiry.

"Such an inquiry ought to result in
recommendation" reads the award,
''as TO what the differential should be
if it is found that such differential
ought to exist Those making the in
quiry should be empowered to report
upon the existing wage scale in all ter
ritories for the purpose of ascertaining,
if possible, a scientific basis for the
payment Of railroad employees to oper-
ate trains. This suggestion does not
contemplate that the body making such
inquiry should attempt to fix wages" +"
1t is suggested that the commission
on industrial relations recently ap-
pointed by President Wilson might be
competent to carry out the suggested
inquiry.
Analysis of the vote on each article
submitted by the trainmen reveals an
almost unbroken coalition between the
two representatives of the employees
and the two independent members of
the board, with the railroad s repre-
sentatives opposing them. The articles
are dealt with separately and fix the
pay for various classifications of labor
While technical in verbige they pro-
vide chiefly that the monthly pay of
employees in the passenger branch of
the service shall be;

Has borne the bruises of defeat,
Whose pathways have been smooth

For he has never claimed the
sweet
Reward that comes to those who dare
To be triumphant, to possess
The splendid solace of success
Won after failure and despair.

Have never found their love be-
trayed,
Who love but once and journey
through
Life by one little passion swayed;
For they have never gladly laid
Aside the false love for the true.
And they have missed his splendid
thrill
Who, having loved III vain, a

Forget the ache and love anew.

On luckier men who scorned his

To proudly listen to the praise
Which is reserved for those who
gain
Their honors after bitter pain
And many storms and long delays.

Hard Luck Tom.

Tom Hankins was a pessimist, which
no one could deny,
He thought that people charged too
much for what he had to buy.
When he had anything to sell the
price was always low
Tom Hankins was a pessimist, as 4
one might know.
His house burned down one August
night, when all was calm and
clear;
He'd lately had the place insured
which seemed a little queer.
He told the agents up in town a most
pathetic yarn;
But all his furniture was found
secreted in the barn;
Since then it has been mighty hard
to get him to agree
That things upon this earth are not
as bad as they can be.
He never raised a crop of o or
oats that made him glad;
He never felt quite satisfied with any
thing he had;
Because HIS girls had not been boys
he worried and was blue:
And bad news was the only kind he
ever thought was true;
There never was a pleasant day that
filed him with delight.
He never for a moment thought that
things were going right.
When Harvey Dixon's wife took sick
and died within a week
Tom sadly said-and In his voice
their was a dismal squeak:
That's twice he's been a widower-
there's no such luck for me-"
Tom Hankins was a pessimist. as any
one could see.
