Lees Statement.
President Lees statement In part,
follows:
q. The present railroad congest on
and the causes leading thereto are In
my opinion not of recent origin. From
The transportation railroad employees
point OF view the present congestion
Is the result nf certain phases OF rail
way operation that date back almost
three years or from the time agitation
was started for ar eight hour day for
THIS class OF employees, II appeared 10
the men interested that the railroad
companies nj that time were operat-
ing trains In such manner az 10
convince the public that II was inn
possible 10 reduce the number OF
hours this class OF employees then
we're required TO make In order 10
carry on the service. Contrary to
general public understanding railroad

man ts.2b. This means that In order
10 earn living wage brakcmen and
firefnen practically must make over
time.
The general effect OF railroad low
wages " shown In the turnover of
employees for the first nine months or
1917, which roughly Stated for the
congested territory alone has meant
the employment of three men To Keen
one Job filled. This turnover OF ex-
perienced employees has resulted ,nI

Its fun share toward present con
gested conditions
Train Movement Delayed.
1T Is the opinion of the men that
n the railroad companies had directed
efforts toward getting trains over the
road there would not have been any
such congestion as Is In effect now on
all OF the roads and particularly at
our eastern terminals.
THE statement is made without
any referehce to failure OF shippers
properly to unload cars that have
reached their destinations. WHAT has
been Rald relates TO matters OF oper-
auon solely as they are viewed hyl
