tirely from the remainder of the bust
ness in the country.
"This, however, is not the fault OF
the employees, and it is wholly unfair
to expect that approximately eight
million railway employees, and their de-
pendents, must sacrifice their interests
to the general betterment and welfare
of the remainder of the population.
Why should not the railroad companies

legitimate costs, the like of which had
to be met in the same way by every

eve are asked, Whether they, the
railways, should refuse the present de-
mand and risk strike, should arbitra-
ton be refused by the employees" This
is a question that at this time is not
part of the discussion. Whether
arbitration will even be suggested or
whether it will be agreeable to either
side is a subject that at this time can
! not even be guessed.
"The position of the railroad organi-
cations in regard to arbitration is
about the same, and might be ex-
| pressed in general terms as follows:
They are not opposed to arbitration,
neither are they pledged to accept 1t,
| They are practically pledged to peace
but that does not mean peace at any
price. 1t means peace with honor
and not peace at the sacrifice of JUS
tice. The organizations do not. desire
to take issue with the public; they
+, have no disposition to take undue ad-
vantage of it in any sense; they accept
every public responsibility.
"They challenge even the inference
that they have not always been fail
to the public and they ask only from
the public that which the public holds
fast as its absolute right, namely, the
liberty to make its own terms of serv'
ice so far as it has the power.
"Now, to say what will be dom
would be based wholly upon persona
opinion and without organization au
thorization. 1t is true that in past ar
bitrations the men were disappointed
and to some extent lost faith in tina
method of adjustment of differences
but there is neither warrant nor au
thority for saying that arbitration will
or will not be accepted. Circumstance
will determine the position of the mel
when the need arises. and they will
then decide what shall be DONE"

speed basis of 10 miles per hour. Local
freight service, way freight, pickup
or drop, mine and roustabout, service
are paid as follows: Conductors,
s0.O45; flagmen, 5000 per mile; 100
miles or less, 10 hours or less, con-
stitute day.
Eight hundred dollars means that
the brakeman who receives that
amount must work 100 miles or less
for every calendar day in the year.
The railroad men are piece-workers;
they do not get paid by the year, but
by the days worked. Whatever wages
,brakemen receive above $500 are
earned because they have worked OVER
time. 1t is no trouble to estimate
these wages, for they are based on loo
miles or less, 10 hours or less for the
DAVIS work. Wages are trifle higher
in the Southern and Western terri
tories.
"The statement has been made that
this present demand for the shorter
workday is based on peak earnings
of the railways, due to the present
boom in business. This is not SO. Inc
shorter workday movement was
started before the present earnings OF
the railways were thought OF. Inc
demand is based wholly on the alb
solute belief of the men that the eight
hour day is the proper workday, and
that when they have worked that num-
her of hours they have fully compiled
with every reasonable requirement
that pertains to a fair days work.
