Neutrality-suspicious. OF the
settlement of wage demands until nor
NAL economic conditions are restored
was announced today by President
Wilson as the policy which the admin
istration will pursue in dealing with
such questions, particularly those Af-
fecting railroad workers.
The President announced also that 1t
was neither wise nor feasible at this
time, when the most important Ques-
tion before the country is return to
a normal price level, to attempt to in
crease freight rates to provide funds
for higher wages.
I'VE ought to postpone questions OF
this sort until we have the opportun-
ity for certain calculation as to the re-
lation between wages and the cost of
living" the President declared in II
statement to the public explaining his
decisions as to wages. .1t is the duty
of every citizen to insist upon truce
in such contests until intelligent settle
ments can be made, and made by peace
and effective common counsel. | ap-
peal to my fellow citizens of every EN-
ployment to cooperate in insisting up
on and maintaining such a truce"
Mr. Wilson's statement was issued
in connection with the decision of him
self and Director General Hines on de-
mands by railroad shopmen for 25
per cent advance in wages, but the
general policy pronounced covers also
the wage demands of other hundreds OF
thousands of railroad workers, which
are pending before the director gen
eral or about to be presented. 1t is to
be expected that other unions trying to
obtain more pay will be asked, as the
shopmen, to play their part with other
citizens in reducing the cost OF living
by foregoing a temporary advantage
which would add to transportation
costs.
The decision of the President and
the director general was announced to
committee of 100, representing the
shOpmen. In reply to their demands
for a % per cent increase, the shop
men We're asked to accept an adjust
ment Of their pay to the basis of ten
houS' pay for eight hours work,
which they contend was given other
employees and denied them when the
Adamson law became effective. This
means an advance of the basic pay
from IS cents to ~ cents an hour
whereas an increase of II cents to S5
cents an hour was demanded.
Under the new scale of wages, ma
chinists. tool makers. boilermakers, riv-
eters, Dlocksmiths, sheet metal work
ers and electricians, all of whom now
receive 6S cents an hour, will receive
70 cents. Helpers will receive 40 cents
an hour instead Of the present wage OF
AZ cents.
