To COUNTRY FOR
TRUCE IN WAGES
Wait Till Normal Price
Levels Return to Cal
culate Pay, He Says.

Washington. Aug. 25.--In making his
decision to offer the railroad shopmer
ten hours pay for an eight-hour day. as
a compromise for the present on their
wage demands, President Wilson ap-
pealed to the public through formal
statement, for a truce in the endless
chain Of agitation for more and more
pay. with resultant increases in the cost
OF living and subsequent renewed de-
mands for raised pay. He asked every
patriotic American to back tha proposal
that the wage issue be postponed till
conditions grow more normal, when in
termine the relation of wages to the
cost of living and to readjust compensa-
tlon in railroad and industry.
The shopmen's Demands.
The presidents statement, addressed
to the public, follows:
MY fellow citizens:
A situation has arisen in connection
with the administration OF railways
which is OF such general significance that
| think it my duty to make public
statement. concerning it. in order that
the whole country may know what is in
volved.
The railroad shopmen have demanded
large increase in wages. They are now
receiving IS, 63 and 65 cents per hour.
They demand S5 cents per hour. This
demand has been given careful and seri-
Gus consideration by the board which was
constituted by the railroad administra-
ton to adjust questions of wages, a
board consisting of an equal number of
Representatives of employees and of the
operating managers of the railroad COM
panies This board has been unable to
come to an agreement, and it has there
fore developed upon the director gem
cral of railroads and myself to act upon
the merits of the case.
Have a Potent Agreement.
The shopmen urge that they are en-
titled to higher wages because of the
higher present rates paid men doing sim
liar work in shipyards, navy yards aud
arsenals. as we'll as in number of priv
ate industries. but | concur with the dl-
rector general in thinking that there is

ings of the railway shops themselves and
the fluctuating employment afforded IN
