The demands in this controversy have not been
presented in judgment for the purpose Of fixing
definite daily period of labor, nor reduction in the
existing hours of labor change in methods of opera
tion but for the real purpose of accomplishing an
increase in wages of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per annum IS per cent for the men
in railroad freight train and yard service represented
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 clear understanding of the magnitude
of the questions and of the serious consequences to
the railroads and to the public involved in the decision

Trustees for the Public

As trustees for the public served by our lines and
for the great mass Of the less powerful employees mot
less than SO per cent of the whole number interested
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 vitality interested to the
extent of millions of dollars, in the integrity and
sovency of the railroads of the country we cannot in
conscience surrenderwithout hearing, the principle
involved undertake to transfer the enormous cost
that will result to the transportation OF the commerce
of the country.
The eight-hour day without punitive overtime
involves an annual increase, approximately, in the
aggregate Of Sixty Millions of Dollars and an increase
of more than 20 per cent. in the pay of the men,
already the most highly paid in the transportation
service.
The ultimate cost to the railroads of an admission
in this manner of the principle under contention
cannot now be estimated the effect upon the eff
