Statement of Executives to the President
In submitting this proposal to the President, the fifty railroad executives called to
Washington and representing all the great arteries of traffic, made this statement to
him of their convictions:

effort is required for the pablo welfare would b
harmful beyond calculation
The widespread effect upon the industries Of tn
country as a whole ID beyond measure or apprabe
ment at this time. and We agree with the Insstent and
widespread public concern over the gravity OF the
situation and the consequences o. . surrender BY The
railroads in this emergency.
In like manner we are deeply impressed with the
sense Of Our responsibility to maintain and keep open
the arteries Of transportation. which carry the lite
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 demands in this controversy have not been
presented, in our judgment, for the purpose OF fixing a
definite daily period Of labor. nor a reduction in the
existing hours Of labor or change in methods Of opera

increase in wages Of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per annum. or IS per cent. for the men

BY the labor organizations in this matter.
After careful examination Of the facts and patient
and continuous consultation with the Conference
Committee of Managers. and among ourselves, we
have reached a clear understanding of the magnitude
of the questions, and Of the serious consequences to
the railroads and to the public. involved in the decision
Of them.

Trustees for the Public

As trustees for the public served by our lines and
for the great mass Of the less powerful employees mot
IN the railroad wage fund-as trustees also for the
millions Of people that have invested their savings and
capital in the bonds and stock Of these properties.
and who through the saving banks, trust companies
and insurance companies. are vitality interested to the
extent Of millions Of dollars, in the integrity and

involved. nor undertake to transfer the enormous cost
that will result to the transportation OF the commerce
Of the country.
The eieht-hour day without punitive overtime

OF more than 40 per cent. in the pay OF the men,

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in our respectful judg-
ment. eminently suitable for the calm Investigation
arbitration, and cannot be disposed Of. to the public
satisfaction, in any other manner.
The decision Of a Commission or Board OF Afbi:
~tration. having the public confidence, will be accepted
by the public, and the social and financial rearrangs-
ments made necessary thereby will be undertaken BY
the public, but in no less deliberate nor orderly
manner.
The railroads Of the country cannot under present
conditions assume this enormous increase In thek
expenses. II imposed upon them, il 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 substan-
tally appropriate the present purchasing power Of
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment, TO keep
abreast Of the demands Of the country for efficient
transportation service.
