Extension of the principle and hope
for further benefits through adoption
of the eight-hOur law was held out by
the director general in the following
language:
Il am convinced that no further in
quiry is needed to demonstrate that
the principle of the basic eight-hOur
day is reasonable and Just, and that
ali further contentious about il should
be set az rest by a recognition of that
principle as a part of this decision.
The question arises as to what fur
ther steps can and ought justly to be
taken to strengthen the application
of that prsnciple and when. This Ques-
tiOn must be solved in the light of the
varied conditions of railroad employ
ment, and will have to be studied in
detail by the board of railroad. wages
and working Conditions-and in the
light of what is reasonably practicable
under war conditions"
Increase in the wage scale to he
paid common labor and mechanics
was forced on the railroad admins
tration through the competition of the
war industries. Reports from all Sec
tions of the country showed plainly
that unless some way of checking this
drain was adopted the railroads would
soon be without any labor of this kind.
One report made TO the railroad adj
ministration by a road official stated
that unless the increase was given an
nouncement OF the wage findings
would be followed Immediately by a
Wholesale exodus into Other branches
OF ind,;stry.
