The widespread effect upon the industries of the
country a whole is beyond measure or anpraise-
ment at this time and agree with the nsistent and
widespread public concern over the gravity of the
situation and the consequences Of surrender BY the
railroads in this emergency
In like manner We are deeply impressed with the
sense OF responsibility maintain and keep open
the arteries of transportation which carry the life
blood OF the commerce of the country, and of the
consequences that will flow from even temporary
interruption Of service over the railroads but the
issues presented have been raised above and beyond
the social and monetary questions involved, and
the responsibility for the consequences that may
arise will rest upon those that provoke it.

The Final Railroad Pror

(a) The railroads will, effective September l. 1916
keep the time of all represented in this movement
upon an hour basis and by separate account monthly
with each man, maintain record of the difference
between the money actually earned by him on the
present basis and the amount that would have been
earned upon an hour basis-overtine on each basis
to be computed pro rata
The amounts so shown will be subject to the
aeclson OF the Commission, provided for in Paragraph
(c) of this memorandum and PAYABLE in money as
may be directed by said Commission in its findings and

President may fix, not, however. less than three
months
(c) In view of the farreachng consequences of the
declaration made by the President accepting the
hour day not only upon the railroads and the classes
OF labor involved directly in this controversy but to
the public and upon all industry it seems plain that
before the existing conditions are changed the whole
subject in SO far as it affects the railroads and their
employees, should be investigated and determined by
a Commission to be appointed by the President, of
such standing to compel attention and respect to
its findings The judgment Of such Commission

and such legislation as intelligent public opinion so
informed. might demand

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in Our respectful udg-
ment e1nnently suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency Of fair
arbitration, and cannot be disposed Of to the public
satisfaction in any other manner
The decision Of a Commission or Board of Arbi
tTat1on having the public confidence will be accepted
by the public and the social and financial rearrange
mens made necessary thereby will be undertaken by
the public, but in less deliberate nor orderly
manner.
The railroads of the country cannot under present
conditions this enormous increase in their
expenses Ii imposed upon them it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank
ruptcy and imperil the power of all to maintain
their credit and the integrity of their securities
The immediate increase in cost followed by other
increases that would be inevitable would stbstan-
TALLY appropriate the present purchasing power of
the railroads and disable them from expandiSq and
improving their facilities and equipment, to keep
abreast OF the demands of the country for efficient
transportation service
