The demands in this controversy have not been
presented in our judgment for the purpose of fixing
definite daily period OF labor, reduction in the
existing hours OF labor change in methods Of opera
ton but for the real purpose of accomplishing an
increase in wages of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per IS per cent for the
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
of them.

In like manner are deeply impressed with the
of our responsibility to maintain and keep open

consequences that will flow from even temporary

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in respectful judg-
ment eminenty suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency of fair
arbitration and cannot be disposed Of to the public
satisfaction, in any other manner
The decision of Commission Board Of Arbi-
traton having the public confidence will be accepted
by the public and the social and financial rearrange-
ments made necessary thereby will be undertaken by
the public, but in less deliberate nor orderly
manner.
The railroads Of the country cannot under present
conditions this enormous increase in their
expenses II imposed upon them it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank
ruptcy and imperl the power of all to maintain
their credit and the integrity of their securities
The immediate increase in cost followed by other
increases that would be inevitable would substan-
tally appropriate the present purchasing power OF
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment, to keep
abreast of the demands of the country for efficient
transportation service.
