Chicago, May 2s. - Representatives.
Of the public on arbitration boards do
not know enough about labor problems
TO be fair l.. 10. Sheppard. president Of
the Order OF Railway Conductors, told
the City club yesterday. He stated that
the railroad brotherhoods are unalter-
ably opposed TO arbitration boards on
which the public is represented.
The public should be left out of the
issue In dealing with the railroad prob
Iems," Mr. sheppard said. The layman
knows so little about the problems OF
the situation.
THE reason the railroads are In their
present hx is because they cannot get
the men they need and because the
men who do work for them are con-
stantly subjected TO violence and ana
ethema from industrial workers whose
work depends on these same men work

of nearly 900. 900. 900 tons and an aver
age excess profit per ton for the three
years OF more than ~ cents II is ap-
parent that coal operators gouged the
consumer for an aggregate OF a half

1.-THE people of this country paid all
the war taxes of the coal operators,

pletion and on top OF that paid them

Lauck natly denied that increased
labor costs are in any serious degree
responsible for the greatly increased
prices OF coal. He also denied that the
high prices we're justified by increased
production, asserting that while produce
tion increased 81 per cent. over the
three prewar years. profits, rose over
100 per cent. Less than one-fourth OF
the Increase In the price OF coal was
taken by labor. he said The claim
that labor is responsible. Lauck said.
"is utterly false"
Lauck gave figures TO show that at

1.-The recent wage Increase Of 27 per
cent. granted miners adds something
less than 10 cents to the cost OF pro-
ducing ton OF coal Lauck said.
Since Aprll I, when these new rates
became effective; prices Of coal have
advanced from rs cents to 81 ton. In
