WAGES

To the American Public:

Do you believe in arbitration or indus
trial warfare?
The train employees on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service
your service. This army of employees is in
the public serviCe-your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and A cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employees.

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service Qess than

cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this

bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer

Industrial Courts.

As long ago as 1906 France created
Industrial courts. and the example has
been followed by Germany, Switzer-
land, Italy and Belgium. A president,
who represents the public, and an
equal number of workers and employ
ers sit as a jury rather than as a
court. Lawyers are barred. The par
ties to the dispute take turns relating
grievance and defense, and in conse-
quence of this simplicity 90 per cent
of the cases are adjusted without
formal hearings. In event of threat
ened strikes or lockouts the courts
have the power to sit as boards of ar
bitration, and it is only in rare cases
that satisfactory agreements are not
reached.
Compare the simplicity of this PRO
cedure with the American method of
frequent trials, frequent appeals. re-
versed decisions, remanded cases.
court costs, lawyers fees and months
of delay, a gantlet that no poor man
dares to run. The dollar out of which
an alien is cheated may mean to him
the difference between a bed or a park
bench, and certainly his sense of in
justice will not inspire him with re-
spect for democratic Institutions
