ISOLATION. In the event that after a
reasonable and proper tattempt has
been made to adjust such differences,
an agreement or adjustment cannot
be made, then at the request of either
the company or the association the
matter shall be submitted to a board
of arbitration. And it is mutually
agreed that the decisions of such
board of arbitration shall be final and
the company and the association here
by bind themselves to agree fully and
freely with and conform TO the decis-
ions of such board of arbitration.
We wish to emphasize the fact stat
ed above that the decision of board
of arbitration shah be final. When
the employees approached the manage
ment of the Shore Line Electric Rail
way Co. to effect new agreement IN
/ the spirit expressed in the above con-
tract, and difficulties arose which ne
eessitated arbitration, we were told
that the company would arbitrate but
the decisions of the board of arbitra-
ton would not be final. The com
pany, therefore, broke it's contract
which was signed in good faith by the
company and its employees.
We have heard much talk concern
ing the yearly deficit of the company
substantiating, it seemed, reports
emanating from the headquarters OF
the Shore Line Co. Anyone who has
had any experience with group figures
as exhibited in annual reports
whether state reports or otherwise
realize the impossibil'ty of arriving al
any conclusion through them. 1t de
mands a complete analysis How Their
can anyone conclude without such 8
complete analysis of the accounts
that this so-called deficit is based up
on earnings of the true value of the
assets or is based upon a highly in
fiated valuation of the assets? We
wish to call attention to the public
+ that in 1918 the employees agreed tc
arbitrate at 40 cents per hour, but

counts. Mr.. Perkins voluntarily grant

What has been the stated policy OF
the company during the past sis
weeks? Mr. Perkins first announced
he would make no attempt TO run his
cars. He didn't have the money, he
said Then for some reason unknown
to us he changed his policy and de
eided TO attempt to operate his cars

When the management of the Shore

What a contrast between the vaeil-

those followed by the employees. From
the ranks of the total personnel but
two have deserted-and one of those
two was admitted into the union the
night before the rupture, Was
greater steadfastness of purpose and
greater tenacity of spirit ever dis
played? At the time the. ears ceased

i There has been considerable ad-
verse criticism among the former pa
irons of the company relative to re-
ducing the number of white poles,
and some of the most accommodate
ing and best patronized cars were

ment. The company has maintained

considered the public lived to ride
on their sacred cars.
The large touring cars bought and
maintained by the company is elo-

ever saw any of the officials riding on
a lowly trolley car? Bear in mind
the public has TO pay for those luxu-

Others say the government is leav-

Leading Frenchmen say-probably
with much truth-that Frances great

The same has been said Of the United
States-that the owners OF small hold

fanatical idea Of Bolshevlsm that would
