Tothe American Public:


Do you believe in arbitration or indus

authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for 100

A 100 million dollar wage increase tor

one-hfth of all employees is equal to per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without clear mandate from public tri-

The railroads have proposed the settle

employees representatives.
Shall nationwide strike or an
