expected that the employees alone
should assume the cost of the unpro-
duct:ve investment. 1t bears the
same relation to their wages as SO
much watered stock.
We are asked, whether they, the
railroads, should seek another IN
crease in rates ?" This is asked on
the assumption that wages are to be
increased. The men are not asking
for more money. They are asking
for shorter work day. If the rail
ways insist on a longer day, then it
will mean increased pay. If the rail-
ways need revenues to meet their in
creased costs of operation, yes.
! There is no other business in the
United States that it not at perfect
liberty to adjust is revenues to meet
its costs of operation. The fact that
the railway companies must first Sc
cure authority from the Interstate
Commerce Commission to raise rates
places them in a different position
entirely from the remainder of the
business in the country. This, how
ever, is not the fault of the employ
es. and it is wholly unfair to expect
that approximately eight millions
railway employees, and their depend
ents, must sacrifice their interests to
the general betterment and welfare
of the remainder of the population.
Why should not the railroad compa-
MES be permitted to increase rates to
meet legitimate costs, the like Of
which had to be met in the same way
by every other industry?
We are asked, whether they, the
railways, should refuse the present
demand and risk a strike, should ar
bitrat;on be refused by the employ
esq" This is question that at this
time is not part of the discussion.
Whether arbitration will even be sug-
gested or whether it will be agreea-
bic to either side is a subject the
answer to which at this time can not
even be guessed.
The position Of the railroad or
ganizations in regard to arbitration
is about the same, and might be
expressed in general terms as follows:
They are not opposed to arbitration,
neither are they pledged to accept it.
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 ac.
cept every public responsibility. They
challenge even the inference that
they have not always been fair 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
service so far as it has the power.
Now, to say what will be done, would
be based wholly upon personal opin-
ion and without organization authori
zation. 1t is true that in past arbi-
trations the men were disappointed
and to some extent lost faith in that
method of adjustment of differences,
but there is neither warrant nor an
thority for saying that arbitration
will or will not be accepted. Circum-
stances will determine the position Of
he men when the need arises and they
will then decide what shall be done.

| lief association and he will not even
receive that in money
The pay of train service employees,
ether than passenger, is based on 100
miles or less, ten hours or less. In
the Eastern territory, for instance,
the brakeman will receive the munifi-
cent sum of $2.67 for regular freight
train service, out of which he must
maintain his family at home and take
care Of himself at the other end of the
road. The 100 mile trip is what rep
resents one days work and means
that at its expiration the man must
lay away from home until he is
deadheaded back or returned with a
train. The conductors in all classes
of road service receive approximately
one-third more pay than the brake
men. The difference between the
wages of the two is easily estimated
To be specific, the wages paid in
freight service in the Eastern terri
tory are as follows:
Through freight: Engineers, S475;
firemen, S245 to S3.4O according 10
class of engine. Way freight: En-
gineers, 25c additional and firemen 10
cent additional per day. Switching
service: Engineers, $40; firemen.
$3.50 and $3.50. One hundred miles
or less, ten hours or less, constitute
a day. A few roads pay engineers
S4.S5 and S5.15 per 100 miles or less
for certain classes of heavy power,
while other roads in the same terri
tory, with heavier engines which
handle approximately 35 per cent |
more tonnage, pay the same rate of
S475 to the engineer, although the
firemen gets the benefit of a pradu.
ated scale running from $245 to $3.40.

of other classes ?" Certainly not The
effect of wage increases to the four
Brotherhoods in the past has been to
encourage increase in wages to all
other employees whether or not they
were organized. 1t is true that in
the past two years the railroad COM
panies have attempted to show that
the increased pay secured by the en-
ployes who were organized prevented
them from increasing the pay of en-
ployes who were not organized. The
purpose of this contention has been
merely to becloud the main issue.
The fact stands in evidence that no
wage increases were given to the or
ganized employees until they eXerted
every pressure at their command.
Another question has been asked:
Whether they should reduce interest
and dividend payments?" So far as
railway employees are concerned,
that is matter with which they have
to do.
The next question asked is:
Whether they should cut down ex-
for so-called non-produc-
tive Improvements? ?" That is a mat
ter entirely within the judgment of
the railroad companies themselves,
governed largely, however, by the de.
nand of communities for buildings
and terminals that will meet the re
1uirements established by civic pride
and business demand. If a railway
in complying with public
iemand expends twenty millions for
, passenger station that will not in
,rease its revenues, it can hardly be
