Summary of Rail
Boards Statement

The board has been unable to find
any formula that would work out a
just and reasonable wage for the
many thousands of positions involved.
Persons who consider the rates
herein too high should reflect on the
abnormal conditions resulting from
the high cost of living and the high
rates 7 ID in other industries.
As a rule, railroad employees are
such for a life. The permanence OF
employment has certain advantages.
1t is clear the cost of hving has
increased approximately 100 per cent
since 1914.
The board has endeayored to fix
such wages as will provide "a decent
living and vet to remember
that no class of Americans should re-
ceive preferred treatment.
The American people desire and
must have transportation adequate TO
their needs. transportation can not
be efficient unless the personnel
throws itself into its work with the
devotion that public service ought to
inspire. IL is hoped the present de-
cisiOn will be felt just and that rail-
road workers will render the best
service of which they are capable.
1t is believed that the keen sense
of justice of railroad employees and
manager is fired by eagerness to
serve the public such economies. such
improvements in method and work
manship, such solutions of transpor-
tatiOn problems will result as will
offset a great part of the increase I'm
wages provided herein and that the
people thus viii be relieved of a great
part of the burden of these Increases.
