lish either success or failure, Il
will, of course, be necessary to
accept the higher costs Of living
as a permanent basis of adjust
ment. and railway wages should
be readtusted along with the rest.
All that I am now urging Is that
we should not be guilty Of the
inexcusable Inconsistency Of max
ing general increases in wages
on the assumption that the pres
ent cost of living will be perme-
nent at the very time that we
are trying with great confidence
TO reduce the cost OF living and
are able TO say that il is actual-
ly beginning to fall.
I am aware that railway en-
ployes have sense Of inse-
curity as to the future OF
the railroads and have many
misgivings as to whether their
interests will be properly safe
guarded when the present form
OF Federal control has come
to an end. No doubt it is in part
this sense OF uncertainty that
prompts them to insist that their
wage interests be adjusted now
rather than under conditions
which they cannot certainly fore
see. But I do not think that their
uneasiness is we'll grounded.
Promises Future Aid.
I anticipate that legislation
dealing with the future of the
railroads will in explicit terms af-
ford adequate protection for the
interests Of the employees Of the
roads; but. quite apart from that
it is clear that no legislation can
make the railways other than
what they are, a great public in
tercst, and II is not likely that the
President Of the United States,
whether in possession and control
of the railroads or not, will lack
opportunity or persuasive force to
influence the decision of questions
arising between the managers OF
the railroads and the railway ems
ployes. The employees may rest
assured that, during my term Of
office. whether am in actual pos
session Of the railroads or not. /
shall not fail to exert the full in
huence of the Executive to see
that justice is done them.
believe, therefore, that they
may be justified in the confidence
that hearty cooperation with the
Government now in its efforts to
reduce the cost OF living will -
no means be prejudicial to their
own interests, but will on the con-
trary prepare the way for more
favorable and satisfactory rela-
tions in the future.
/ confidently count on their CO.
operation in this time OF national
test and crisis.

SAME DEMANDS
ON ALL R. R. MEN

CONTINUED from Page One)
ersRses had not been decided upon
this morning.
Whether the strike vote OF the
600, 900 shopmen of the country was
to be final or whether the men, in re-
sponse to the request Of President
Wilson, would be asked to vote upon
the acceptance or ERECTION of the
increase OF 4 cents an hour, an
nounced by the Railroad Administra-
ton yesterday, was the question be-
fore the labor leaders.
Bert II Jewell, head OF the rail-
way employees department Of the
American Federation of Labor, said
a decision would be reached some
time today, but failed to forecast
what that decision would be.
Rail Committee Confers.
Since their meeting with the Presi.
dent, when they were told that large
wage increases would only lift the
general cost OF living. and would
utterly crush" the Goyernment's
campaign against profiteers, the com
mittee Of 100 has held several con-
ferences.
These are to be continued today.

some standing out for the submis-
sion OF the compromise to a referen-
dun vote among the workers. while
others are equally insistent that the
original demand Of IS cents an hour
for all classes be adhered to.
All Eyes on GOmperE.
The eyes Of labor leaders here are
turned toward Samuel Gompers. head
OF the American Federation Of La
Dor, whO-is due to land in New York
today from Europe. Labor officials
here hope Gompers will come 70
Washington at once.
A meeting OF the executive council
OF the federation Is scheduled soon
after GompeF's arrival

1t was the general belief here that
the shopmen would take another
strike referendum on the Presidents
reply before acting. 1t was under
stood that leaders had promised the
President as much during their White
House meeting yesterday.
Presidents Appeal to All.
President Wilson's appeal was gem
orally viewed here today in the aspect
OF its effect on organized labor as
whole rather than from the aspect of
its immediate reaction on the shop
mems leaders. although their response
may have a far-Teaching effect on
other unions.
The appeal was addressed to the
shopmen, but ii was aimed also at
other organized railway workers, in
cluding members of the four great
brotherhoods, who are framing de.
mands, and at steel workers.
The action the shopmen take, how
ever, may influence the course of 80, 900
railway conductors and 1ST, 900 train
men whose officials have placed be-
fore the Railroad Administration de-
mands for wage increases averaging
30 and 40 per cent. respectively. OFF,
cials Of these railroad unions have not
yet received a reply to their demands.

officials Of the railroad administra-
ton, and at the White House, today
made no attempt to minimize the
seriousness of the present situation.
The President said yesterday that
I'VE are face to face with a situation
which is more likely to AFFECT the
happiness and prosperity. and even
the life Of our people, than the war
itself"
Before the conference with the
President, union officials fatty pre-
dicted that because of the referen-
DUN vote they would be forced to re-
ject any proposition that did net in
clude the fun wages demanded by
the men. After the conference. they
refused TO make any comment, but
gave every indication of being pro-
voked by the situation as II devel-
oped.
Developments in the present situa-
tiCn brought about by the demands of
railroad shOpmen began last January,
when the proposition was first pre-
sented TO the Railroad Administration.
The developments which followed
were:
The wage adjustment board report
ed TO Rail Director Hines about three
weeks ago that increased living costs
had reduced buying power OF wages |
but the board OF six divided evenly on
the question OF wage increases.
President Wilson and Hines pro-
posed a commission, to be created by
act Of Congress, to consider all rail- |
road wage demands.

Surplus Feed LlnEeFs.
Little progress has been made the
last few days, in the distribution Of
Washington,s allotment OF surplus
army food.
''The Postoffice Department is ready
to, send out the food at the crack OF
the whip" said Assistant. Postmaster
Kerlin today. I'VE still lack twelve
items Of our total shipment, however,
and cannot go ahead until we have a
supply OF every item. The total ship
ment OF tomatoes has arrived"
Some Of the items that are still en-
route are 6-pound cans Of cOrned
beef; 3-pound cans Of baked beans;
stringless beans, cloves flour. con-
den8ed milk, mustard, rice, and clam
chowder.
E. D. Atkinson. chairman OF the
committee Of fifteen, which is dis
tributing the five carloads OF food at
the municipal fish market. said today
that the distribution OF this food had
been halted temporarily because Of
difficulty in securing labor at the

It was urged that all persons inter

Fair Price List This Week.
The fair price conhnittce, under the
direction of Clarence r. Wilson,
former food administrator, held an
other conference yesterday afternoon
to determine fair margins Of profits
on fOodstuffs sold in Washington.
The work OF establishing, a fair
price list is a considerable under
taking, IL was explained, but Mr..
Wilson expects 70. have the first list
in print In a few days. so that the
public may see it the latter part OF
the week. ----,.-t|
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that in
order for the fair price committee,
consisting OF six consumers and six
food men, appointed by Mr.. Wilson
with the consent OF the Attorney
General, to accomplish the task it
has undertaken, the cooperation OF
every consumer and every dealer
who signed the pledge Is necessary.
II was urged that consumers refuse
to patronize dealers who will not
observe the fair margins list, as it
will be submitted by the committee.
A sale OF surplus army food will
be held tomorrow between 8 and D.
