TELLS BOARD RAILROADS
ARE ALL SPECULATIVE"
A. B. Garretson Says Workers
Don't Share in Profits and
Losses Shouldn't Count.
GOOD WAGES ALL THE TIME
Baltimore & Ohio Witness AS
serts Eastern Lines Pay
More than Those in the
West and South.

The entire forenoon and afternoon ses-
sions Of the board meeting for the arbi-
tration Of the demands of the trainmen
and conductors on the railroads In the
East at the Manhattan Hotel yesterday
were taken up with the testimony Of
John c. Walber, assistant to the third
vice-president of the Baltimore e. Ohio
Railroad, who also was on the stand all
day Wednesday.
Mr.. Walber submitted tables which gave
the relative wages and conditions OF
work in the Eastern. Western and South
eastern territories. He said he could say
under oath that the working conditions
for the men In the Western territory were
not nearly SO advantageous as In the
Eastern territory. He also said the ex-
listing pay and conditions in the East
produced better results in the way OF
earnings for the workers than the pay
and conditions IN the Western territory
A. 3. Garretson, of the conductors
when the question OF the rights Of the
roads came UP. said:
THE m m have nothing 10 do with the
business of the railroads. The roads are
speculative enterprises and the men are
not under obligation to work Tor 10"
wages at any time
IF that was the accepted idea gen
orally. don't you think there should De
q sliding scale OF wages?" asked the
witness Every question has two SIDES
THE companies want the men TO do
certain things for the benefit OF the COM
panies," replied Garretson. The men are
not sharers in the profits and therefore,
should be paid higher wages.
Garretson was then asked by A. n.
Smith. senior vlce-president OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad. II In case the railroads
lost money the men would not be al
fected also.
Garretson replied that in such case II
would be THE companies funeral, as the
men were not partners in the way OF
sharing profits. and therefore had no
right TO share in the losses The rail-
roads were built for profit to the share
holders and could do as they liked.
An exception to this was taken oy Seth
Low, chairman Of the board VINO re-
minded Mr.. Garretson that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had some supervi-
sion over the railroads. Garretson con-
coded that point. but added that the rail-
roads were more than a speculauon-a
lead pipe cinch'-before the appoint
nent of the commission.

Choosing sides!
: When from their own indi-
vidual choice, not only the
bows, but the whole family side
with you, it's a happy state of
affairs.
Yet that often happens
when it comes to choosing the
boys outfit.
A boy likes to come here
because he knows the best
dressed boy on his block
wears our clothing; besides, he
likes to get his clothes where
his Dad does.
The boys mother approves
our soft of clothing-her more
critical eye detects the careful
making and the better quality
woolens we always use.
The boys father says go as
far as YOU like" He knows
the bill will be moderate and
that his money is only on
deposit until he's satisfied with
the wear the boy gets out of
the clothes.
