PRESIDENT Or n. Il w.
GIVES OFT L. NJ

THE conviction OF the railroad prcsl-
dents that their stand in favor of arbi-
triti"n is sound has been greatly in
tcnsiiicd to-day by the receipt of hun
drrds OF kilograms from all over the
country. and from every class of bust
ness and industry. supporting their
position and demanding tina the prin-
ciple involved be maintained.
1T has been made plain as daylight
that the men are not agitatinE for
eight hours Of work and no moro.
Their real purpose is TO secure higher
pay.
The brothcrhoods have charged the
railways with failure to put into effect
the awards Of boards OF arbitration.
II is true that there have been delays
caused by differences of opinion as to
the technical application OF Il general
award to the varying schedules Of diff
fcreut railroads. and it has sometimes
been necessary to refer such c~ontrovcr-
sizes back to the nrhitrators for a de-
ciSion, but the points on which there
have been such disputes have been
comparatively few In proportion to the
total number involved. The best evil
dcnCc that the awards have been ap-
Piled is found in the statistics Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,

wages OF the employees during recent
years
