STATEMENT MADE, TO PEOPLE

ton by Saying That No Arbitra-
ton Can Be Fair-Scek to Enforce
Demands by irresponsible Power.

WASHINGTON, September l.-Ad-
vancing the contention that the eight
hour day is not the issue OF the pres
ent controversy. twelve railroad Of
ticials, representing practically all
Southern roads, issued n statement
explaining their position. 1t is adj
dressed TO the People OF the South"
III has been suggested that an eight
hour day is not the proper subject Of
arbitration" says the statement. ITO
this they 1.-THE railroads. have replied
that an eight-hour day is not an issue,
but even If II were there is no evidence
sufficient to place the question beyond
the limits of honest difference OF opin-
ion; that the eight-hou day for men
engaged In train service has been
finally accepted by social opinion
''ro justify this view they point to
the fact that the men themselves have
not demanded it, do not want it and
would not accept II II offered: that tho
underlying principle Of an eight hour
day. wherever it has been introduced.
actually shortening the hours of labor
and has never been justified by any
law or by any social movement as Il
means of increasing wages for hours
which shall remain unchanged: that
the establishment OF an cight-hour day
In train service has never been favored
in any political platform OF any party
ana. while the subject of an eight-hour
day has been under consideration in
party conventions. it's application has
been carefully limited by party opinion
and has excluded employees In railroad
service and generally in industrial pur.
suits; that II has never been rccom-
mendcd by any executive officer in this
country for adoption by any Legislative
body and has never been put into law
either by the Congress OF the United
states or by any State, or that it has
never been brought into prominent
public discussion except in the mislcad-
ing aspect given to II In this wage con-
troversy, and is now being thought OF
only as means of avoiding the nation
wide disaster of interrupted Transport
tation facilities"
After pointing out the fact that the
men had refused arbitration of all
points nj issue. the reason given being
that no fair arbitration OF such matters
OF difference is possible. the statement
says: "1n saying that no arbitration can

for the proposition was that the Presi-
dent should appoint the arbitrators.
They claim the right to arbitrarily put
upon the roads. upon tho other en-
ployees and upon the whole public.
their own demands by the strong arm
of their irresponsible and unregulatcd
power.
The country is. therefore, confronted
by the question whether il Is to be
ruled by law or by the few men who
acknowledge no limitation of force
upon their obligations to he social
welfare"
