Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?

Faced by dcmands from the conductors, engineers, fremen and brakemen
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of
$lOOOW,00O a year. TIL railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by
reference to an impartial Fedora tribunal.
With these employees, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads
have n diferenccst that could moi be considered fairly and decided justly by such
public body.
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employees for the settlement Of
the controversy is as follows:

Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service broherhoods, at the IMnt conference held in New
York, Jun. lis, refused the ofer Of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration
or Federal review, and the employees are o voting OIL the question whether
authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nationwide strike.
The IntertateC Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the
public body to which this issue ought to be referedf for theser reasons:
No ohu body with such an intimate nordy p%.. wwsian d%em money ~y mmmdm wages

A Question For the Public to Decide
500 100000 a year to these employees, now highly paid and constituting only
onc-hhh of all the employees, without a clear mandate from public tribunal that
shall determine the merits Of the case after a review O. all the facts.
The single issue before the country is uhnhv his CONTROVERSY to be- settled by an
impartial GoUvnmnt inquiry or by industrial warfare.
