WHY RAILROADS
HAVE YIELDED
Conference Committee of
Managers Issue Statement

The Conference Committee OF
Managers, representing fifty-four
Eastern railroads, makes public the
following letter addressed to the
representatives of the government
under the Erdman act:
New York. February IS, 1913.
Hon. Martin A. Knapp,
Presiding Judge
u. s. Commerce Court,
Hon. G.. w. W. Hangar,
Acting Commissioner Of Labor,
New York City, N. Y.
Gentiemen:-At the urgent re-
quest of you as representatives OF
the government, and under the
strongest protest we are able to
voice, the Managers Committee
agree to arbitrate the fremen's con
troversy under the Erdman Act. The
managers also desire to give notice
at this time that they shall earnestly
reQueat that the hearings In this ar
bftration be open to the public.
As the managers have stood out
to the limit against arbitration I'M
der the Erdman Act, and az the
government-or the publie-is re-
sponsible for whatever the conse
quences may be, the managers re-
iterate their principal objection, to
the Erdman Act; these were pointed
out by the Board of Arbitration In
the engineers case:
THE responsibility which ulti-
mately would rest upon a third
member Of an Erdman Arbitration
Board was too great to impose On
any one
THE operation Of the act is to
settle a dispute rather than to ad-
Indicate a controversy.
1.-The arbitrators are three In num-
Der. Each side is represented by
one arbitrator. 1t rests therefore
upon the third arbitrator to bring
the other two arbitrators as nearly
possible together, and il he can
Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-02-21

not do 30, he must decide between
them. This is accomplished by
splitting differences. and the case
may be adjusted without adequate
Investigation of the facts involved.
and the award may not rest upon q
basis Of equity.
But the most fundamental defect
of the Erdman Act is that the inter-
ests Of the public are not guarded by
it."
The managers feel that the public
will not tolerate a strike, and reallz-
ing their three-fold responsibility to
the public, their men, and their
shareholders, they only agreed to
arbitration under the Erdman Act
when it seemed the only way to avert
the calamity of a strike.
The Firemen's Brotherhood has
no responsibility except to it's men,
bers.
The question the public should
seriously consider is whether, In COM
polling the railroads to arbitrate
under a defective and inadequate
law, and in thus securing temporary
convenience and accommodation,
they are not sacrificing their perma-
nent welfare.
The Managers Committee wishes
to warn the public at this time OF
another and similar demand for in
creased wages made by the conduc-
tors and trainmen. We desire to
put the public On notice as to the
crisis that will confront them when
these demands are considered by the
railroads.
We also desire to call attention to
the serious public danger of these re-
curing demands, backed up by re-
peated demands that the railroads
arbitrate under the law"
The whole situation is now In the
hands of the government and the
people. They have taken 1t out OF
the hands Of the managers at a time
when the latter hoped to make a
stand for the public good.
Yours truly,
(Signed) ELISHA LEE,
Chairman, Conference Committee OF
Managers.

The Most improbable story.
Materials required are as many pen
ellis and sheets Of paper AZ there are
players.
This is an excellent game and is spe-
cially suitable to people possessing the
bump OF imagination. After pencils
and paper have been distributed among
the players they are told that they will
be given twenty minutes In which to
write the most improbable story that
occurs to them. The papers are then
passed on. so that each player gets
some other players story. and the sto-
ries are read aloud in turn and iudg-
ment pronounced. the best story being

A writer in Golfers says that we
are approaching new industrial era.
The stream of immigration which has
resulted in bringing into this country
some thirty million men, women and
children is now coming to a close :
Few OF us realize what tremendous
factor in our prosperity this great and
steady flow Of the best blood. largely
from Northern Europe has meant TO
the United States. Every able bodied
immigrant is estimated 10 be worth a
thousand dollars This means that
there has been added 10 the wealth of
this country from Europe several bill
lion dollars. But this inflow is about
to cease. and we must look elsewhere
for the factors of national development.
The era at whose threshold we stand Is
to be one of readjustment in our ma
tional life. There is Of necessity TO
take place great change in the me-
thods Of living and the occupations OF
many of the people Our great cities
which have become SO crowded as to be
menace to the body politics are to
witness the transplantiEg OF many
families to the agricultural districts.
We have altogether too many consum-
ers and not anywhere pear enough pro-
ducers. We must learn greater econo-
my and convenience OF distribution OF
products from the farm to the consum-
or and altogether must study all the
conditions which lead to thrift and
prudence Heretofore we have been
wasteful OF our resources. Now we
must husband them with much care
and make the most ont of what we
have if we are to continue to prosper.
We shall be all the better for il, if as a
people we can more fully comprehend
the value as we'll as the necessity OF
the simple. healthful life.

The Diamond Drill has always con-
tended that the officials of Iron county
nave been too lenient In the case OF
boys against whom complaints have
been made. We can recall number OF
instances In the past where boys we're
brought up for disorderly doings and
should nave been sent TO the industrial
school. only to be let go because the
parents or relatives of the boys got
some one to fntercede for them. In al
most every case the boys would have
been benefited had they been sent
where they might have had good train
ny under the most up to-date methods
for dealing with youngsters of the
class Our-officjals are doing theseboys
no good in fact they are doing them a
harm for in almost every case it's the
boys nome training that is deficient
and the cause OF his being an incorrig-
ible. All that the boy needed TO make
MIN useful citizen was different sur
roundings. Few people realize that the
home at Lansing is not Jail but a
nome corrective place where the
boys are given the best OF care and
training win the idea of making good,
useful citizens out Of rhom We un-
derstand that Judge Rite has changed
the procedure some what and looks with
more favor upon the industrial school
We are glad TO know this, if II is true,
for IT means great deal both for the
unfortunate bows and for others who
have TO associate with them. Judge
Rite and County Agent o'BrieD
should be encouraged in this move.
