STARTS INQUIRY ON
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

WASHINGTON, March 3.-By a
vote of 50 to p the senate went on
record in favor of an inquiry to de-
termine the feasibility of government
ownership and operation of railways
and other public service utilities.
The question was introduced bv
Senator Borah who stated that while
he was not committed to government
ownership. of public utilities that a
vote in favor of his resolution need
not commit the senate to that policy.
but the questin was one which the
senate would have to meet sooner or
later and 1t might be we'll to have
some information on the subject.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-03-04

and to build monopolies for the rob-
bing of the people,"
"still further to confuse the issue,
the railroads have started discus
sion regarding the advisability of a
government wage board to fix wages
for railroad employees. If such a plan
were to be initiated by Congress and
the federal government, it would
mean that Congress is attempting to
check an advance in pay for wage
earners when it attempts no such
thing for those classes of exploiters
and profit takers who take infinitely
heavier toll from the community for
no useful service whatsoever. The
federal government has not yet at
tempted to regulate the issuing of
railroad securities, and with govern
ment consent the roads have been
robbed of hundreds of millions
through the issuing of watered
stocks and bonds"
Not Government Ownership.
Nor should the question of gov
ernment ownership be raised in this
connection. Government ownership
of railroads is as sure to come an
there is sure to be a more equitable
distribution of wealth, and freedom
and justice for wage earners. But
these lines of progress must be kept
separate and distinct.
In washington today the govern
ment is paying street cleaners $1.25 a
day, from which they must buy uni
forms and pay for their cleaning.
Government ownership is sound and
the question of justice to the wage
earners. Even under government
ownership, the employees must have
the right to y organize and act to-
|. .sether, and even to strike. !"

denouncing the use of the name of
the United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations in connection with
the distribution Of a pamphlet attack
ing the eight-hour movement Of the
railroad Brotherhoods.
The pamphlet is entitled wages
and Hours Of Railroad Employees"
and is by Luke Grant, who is desig-
mated on the cover and again on the
title page as Especial Agent for the
United States Industrial Commission "
After characterizing Grants dis
cussion Of the eight-hour movement
or the Brotherhoods as "a skillful
piece of special pleading. in which
facts are distorted for the evident
purpose of prejudicing the public
against the men," Mr.. Walsh says:
Not an Agent of Commission.
Grant is not an agent of the In
dustrial Commission and has not been
since last July. The Commission. as
was we'll known to the railroad man.
ayers when they put out this PAM
phlet, expired by statutory limitation
in August, and their use of this desig-
nation of Grant is a. deliberate and
willful attempt to deceive the public
and to give the prestige of the Com
mission to a document that was not
entitled to it and that without it
would carry no weight.
"The Commission made no investi-
cation whatever into conditions of
employment in the train service of
the railroads, and whatever informa-
ton Mr.. Grant possessed on the SUBJ
ject must have been handed. to- him
by the railroads or obtained from
other sources. His statement sounds
suspiciously like an echo Of that is
sued by the railroads themselves
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-03-04

"Mr. Grant since he left the en-
ploy of the Commission has been en-
ployed by the Tariff Commission
League, and in that employment he
has attempted to capitalize his stand
ing with organized labor, acquired in
past years as an active trade union
ist. Grants attack on the railroad
Brotherhoods shows him in his true
character as a hostile critic Of the
labor movement and a champion Of
those interests that are always ready
to reward men of his type.
This dishonest use Of the name of
the Commission is not the first ,evi-
dence that the railroads are deter
mined to sacrifice the truth in their
campaign to turn the public against
the men who operate the trains, and
to defeat the movement to relieve
them from excessively long hours Of
labor.
Walsh Is Emphatic.
I'm their own names, the railroad d
managers have issued a statement
which for deliberate and shameless
Misrepresentation of the facts has
never been surpassed. This statement
asserted flatly and without uualifica-
ton that the men were demanding
large increases in pay. Not until two
thirds of a column had been occupied
by these statements did the author
incidentally mention the fact that the
men are proposing, not higher wages,
but relief from <ten,. twelve, fourteen
and sixteen hour work days, and this
in the freight service only"
mot a cent of additional pay is de-
manded by the men except for time
In excess OF eight hours. and after
eight hours the men ask time-and-
one-half for overtime only, when the

speed of the train averages less than
12k miles an hour"
"The successful mendacity of the
railroad managers is shown in the
headlines that were placed above this
statement in good faith by newspaper
editors who wished to convey the sub
stance of the statement. These head
lines conveyed the impression univer-
sally that the men were demanding
large increases in wages"
Further to prejudice the mems
case and prevent q fair public hear
ing, the railroad managers in their
statement to the public confused the
eight-hour day with the suggestion of
higher freight rates. or reduction
in interest and dividend payments"

whether or not the eight-hour day.
universally recognized as the longest
period of labor that should be re-
quired, should be enjoyed by the men
who are responsible for the safety of
lives and property on American rail-
roads,"
ITO raise the question of freight
rates or dividend payments in this
connection is as far beside the point
as 1t would be to raise the question
OF whether or not the railroad presi-
dents and managers should be sent to
jail for stealing billions Of dollars of

ing railroad after railroad by the is

GIVES P. o, LABORERS
$40 MONTHLY RAISE

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The house
has accepted the recommendation of it's
post office committee that post office
laborers be paid an annual minimum
wage of sS40. Nine hundred laborers
will be increased from $72O under this
amendment.
Congressman Sisson Of Mississippi
made an unsuccessful attempt to elimi-
nate the compensation for-injury legis-
lation for certain employees in the pos
tai service who are killed or injured
while on duty. The southern repre-
sentative defeated an attempt to in
clude other postal employees in this
legislation by raising the point that it
wa; was not germane to an appropriation

and practicable in all other occupa-
tlons is not at all so in the railway
transportation service. He holds to
the notion that inasmuch as railroad Il
conditions have been adjusted to the
ten-nour day, that it is impracticable
TO attempt to get away from it. He
re1ers to the excessive increase in
cost that would accrue IF employees
who are now relatively we'll paid''
nave to be given this advance tn
wages.
Mr.. Grant overlooked the very i'm
portant fact that the men who are
now relatively we'll paid are not in
GUIDED in the demand. He accepts
the, railroad statement that if the
shorter work day maintains that "a.
ceiverships naturally will follow. He
does not mention the fact that the
railroads now in the hands of re-
celvers are there because of the fl
nanclal sins of their managements
Favorable To Railroads.
Very many other statements are
made which summed up can be ac-
cepted as being in favor Of the posi-
ton taken by the railways to the
effect that, the shorter work day is
impracticable and impossible. al
though lit does not follow that the
present hours of labor may not be re-
duced: It is a question of COSTS"
Again we quote Mr.. Grant: "They.
the railroads, are not in the class Of
employers who pay below, or even
close to what is commonly , under
stood as tho ha ro ov3ctonoo 1;ro NJ =
earnings of train crews on the aver
age are the highest Of any group of

average wage" might be excused but
ne knows that overtime tells the story
OF railroad wages that reach the
above the existence line" This is
not unusual and is exactly what was
expected by railway employees. They
did not, however, expect that Mr..
Grant would presume to use his for
mer connection with the Industrial
Relations Commission to give the i'm
preston that that Commission was
| back of the railways and opposed to
the demand of the railway employees.
President w. G.. Lee, Of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, wrote
the Honorable Frank P. Walsh, chair
man of the Industrial Relations Com
mission, during its life, and now
chairman of the Industrial Relations
Committee, calling his attention to
the story issued by Mr.. Grant and his
designating himself as a special agent
of the Commission.
Walsh Repudiates Grant.
That Mr.. Walsh does not give color
to anything said by Mr.. Grant, or
that the Industrial Relations Commit
tee, which has succeeded the Com
mission, is in no wise in sympathy
with anything he said, is attested by
public letter from Mr. Walsh in
reply to an inquiry as to whether or
not Mr.. Grant was employed by the
Industrial Relations Commission and
now had auth thority to sign his articles
as its agent. The reply herewith fol-
lows:
