5 HOURS FORCED,
SAY R. R. EMPLOYEES
Head Of Trainmen Asserts
They Had to Take What
Wilson Offered.

W. g. Carter, president OF the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and Engi-
neers, said last night that President
Wilson had waved the big stick" to
compel the railroad employees TO accept
the Adamson law. He spoke at the an
nual banquet OF the New York Academy
Of Political Science In the Hotel Aston.
and when his time was up there were
cries of go on!' and cheers lasting
several minutes.
He referred to newspaper reports that
the railroad mon had coerced the Presi-
dent into having the Adamson law
enacted. He explained that it was the
President who did the coercing.
The big stick was waved without
any %ostentation but very effectively"
he said. by his arguments he forced
the committee to waive all demands for
time and u half for overtime. I won
say he threatened. We dare not strike
with such a law being enacted M
with the President saying. There's the
law. nov obey It. II ever there was
anybody forced to accept a Law 1t was
the railroad employees.
He explained that one Of the main
reasons why the employees would not
accept arbitration during the recent Diff
lculty was because the railroads sought
to exclude from the arbitration seventy
1--WE little roads having from twelve to
200 employees each. and also to ex-
clude all negro employees.
Oscar 3. Straus. who presided. had
spoken Just previous to Mr.. Carter and
Mr.. Carter war ~ pleased with the
chairman's speech that he said that II
what he suggested should be extended
to railroad employees 1t would be all
they ask"
This Is perhaps the part Of Mr.. Strauss
speech that Mr.. Carter liked best
There should be accorded to and
guaranteed TO such employees (public
utility employees) exceptional wagcs
and conditions Of service. II has been
suggested there should be In each State
and In the nation q wag commission
with power not only to regulate rates
but also wages. The human element.
r. and conditions of employment.
should be paramount. Rates should be
subordinate to wages and not wages. as
now. subordinate to rates"
But Mr.. Straus also said:
within the past thirty odd years We
have made considerable progress in the
state and the nation in placing one OF
these groups the operators. under more
and more Government restraint and con-
troll. SO far. however. as concerns the
other group. the employees on our pub
Tic utilities. the tendency has recently
been In the opposite d~irection-to free
this group more and more from Govern
ment restraint.

row reduced TO the small financial Rec
ton known as the East for a market
for their securities. Representative
bankers and investment brokers In such

clients to purchase railroad securities.
The clients also have learned not to rely
on such investments and will not accept
railroad investments when rendered to

Long stretches OF Broadway are
covered with boards. a surface that

Stunned these wooden pathways. Con-
sequently the trafic that naturally would
pass on Broadway has been to a large

scented in THE SrN will he added to their

important highway.

tcenth street. A working agreement ex-
lists between the Broadway body and the

nue. viaducts.
THE SuN IL to be commended for
bringing the facts about our traffic crisis
to public notice." said Estes. "It IL time
for the town to realize It's plight and TO
cooperate in the efforts to relieve the
crisis. We hope that the repavyhg Of
Broadway will aid the traffic deadlock
until We have the subways in Seventh
venue and the viaducis completed. With
four highways running longitud We
can spread for a time the strain now
concentrated in Fifth venue and Broad
way"
