RAILWAY UNIONS DEFENDi
EIGHT HOUR DAY DEMANDI
Inspired Not by Business Boom. but by Justice, Says
Statement Signed by Arthur, Carter, Sheppard,
Lee-Managers Dispute Wage Figures.

WAsuiSGroN. Feb. "A statement
outlining the reasons that have prompted
the members Of the four railway broth
crhoods to ask their employers for au
eight hour day and time and a half
pay for overtime" was given out here
tonight by authority OF the heads If
the organizations involved.

OF Hallway Conductors. and President

Tra.nmcn.
The heads of these organiza,io state
that the men arc not ss we'll paid as
repre- sentcd by the railway manascr,
and that the demand for u shorter day
and increased pay for overtime was not
inspired by the present boom in bust
ness. The statement says IN this COM
section:
The shorter workday movement was
started before tho present earnings Of
the railways were thought Of. The de-
,nsnd is based wholly on the absolute
belief of the men that the eight hour
day is the proper Workday and that
when they have worked that number ot
hours they have fully complied with
every reasonable requirement, that per-
ta!rs TO a fair days work.
M Incentive to Delay.

The Germans have had virtual mo-
nopoly on the sale of dyestuffs in
the United States. Under the pres
ent tariff law it would not be neces-
sary for Germany to sell ir the United
States at prices below those charged
in Germany. 1t would be necessary
for her merely to engage in ordinary
competition with the new infant dye
stuff industry, which under ordinary
conditions without a protective tariff
would go to the wall.
The administration recognizes the
danger, but turns aside from the OBJ
vious remedy. which is the establish
ment of a protective tariff to equal
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad. Since there
is no other remedy, however, and
since the situation must be faced, the
administration is adopting protection
under another name Certainly the
proposed anti-dumping law, suggested
as an amendment to one of the anti.
trust laws, Is a very clear form OF
protection. It's purpose is protection.
1t is reputation OF the free-trade
theory that American manufacturers.
with their higher wage scales and
higher production costs. can, never
theless, compete on an equal footing
with European manufacturers.

Shipowners' Argument Should Be
Effective.

the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wage
Scale and Living Conditions
Must Be Preserved.

Shipowners recently have made the
argument that in ordinary times they
Will not be able to keep up the present
pace. owing to the lower cost OF OPP
Grating European ships. They point
out that as result of the high r
American wage scale and the extra
employees who must be engaged the
cost OF operating an American ship in
some instances is $1,000 a month high
er than that of European ship.
NO better argument could be made
In favor of the protective tariff sys-
TEN The difficulty that shipowners
ma in competing with foreign ships
Is the same difficulty that American
manufacturers find in competing with
Foreign products. 1t has been said
that the cost of production and the
cost OF labor are almost synonymous
terms in the United States Repub.
lican platforms have defined the pro.
tective tariff as tariff that equals
the cost of production at home and
abroad 1t might almost be described as
a tariff that equals the difference in
wages at home and abroad
There have always been better
wage and living conditions in the
United States than in Europe. There
can be no backward step. A way must
be found to preserve the American
wage scale and American living con-
ditions on land and on sea-
