U. S. ATTITUDE

WASHINGTON, Feb. i3-The right Of
railroad employees to strike would be
insisted upon under government own
ership, A. B. Garrcison, president Of the
Order Of Railroad Conductors. sad
Yesterday in reply 10 questions Of SEN
7tor Cummins OF Iowa. during his eX-
animation on railroad problems before
The Senate Commerce Committee.
Sharp opposition TO the governments
present policy toward organization Of
It's employees was expressed by Nlr. Gar
retsen, who also opposed the minimum
wage as an effective method OF settling
the wage question. lie proposed in re-
sponse 10 the Iowa Senator's questions,
that wages should be determined by a
tribunal fairly balanced I'm which no
one interested element could dispose Of
the question"
"lf the government DID not fix wages
satisfactorily" asked Senator Cumm.ns
you hold you would have the right 10
striker"
Absolutely yes" responded the wit
ness. 'The relations between the gov
ernment and its employees should be the
same as between private employer and
NAAa AAAAlA0NNns
No matter II the minimum wage
were fixed at SIS a day, said Mr.. Gar
retson, the condition Of the laboring
man would not be improved because
The cost Of his products would be cor
respondlngly increased Investigation
disclosed, he said, that despite increas-
ed wages. a railroad conductor received
sii less a month in 1910 than in 1890.
II the price Of commodities he must
buy were considered.
Replying to questions, Mr.. Garretson
suggested as "a piece Of anti-Bolshe-
vik sentiment that the tyranny Of one
class would never be less than the ty-
ranny Of the other and that there must
be a cushion between the two extremes
TO adjust wages fairly.
Referring 10 the Seattle strike. the
witness declared local labor unions
there had acted in opposition 10 their
national leaders, and asserted that
