Terminal Board Holds
Its First Meeting Here
Commission Organized to Su-
peruise York of Clearing Up
Railroad Freight Congestion

Organization Of the terminal com
mittee created here at the direction of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to supervise the clearing up of the
railroad freight congestion at this
port was completed yesterday. The
committee met at the Offices of the
Public Service Commission and consid-
cred remedial measures.
The members of the committee are:
Chairman, B. c. Craig. inspector of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
representing that body; representing
the railroads, A. j. Miller; for the
shippers, V. A. Viles, general manager
of the Rubber Association of America;
for the State of New Jersey, James
Maybury jr., chief of the bureau of
railroads of the Public Utilities Com
mission of New Jersey; representing
the State of New York, Alfred M. Bar
rett, deputy commissioner of the Pub
lie Service Commission.
1t was announced that the committee
will study embargoes, arrange for re-
routing of freight and cooperate with
the local operating committees of the
railroads. 1t is empowered to handle
matters by conference and to make
adjustments upon the ground with a
view to expediting traffic and, where
necessary, to advise the Interstate
Commerce Commission when manda-
tory action should be taken by that
body. For the present no public hear
ings will be held. The committee asks
trade organizations in and out of the
city to make complaints on delays as
to incoming or outgoing freight. I'VE
want specific data only said Mr..
CRAIG.

sion data showing which Of the roads
would receive n return of more than 8
per cent under the rate advances asked
and how much of the excess would go
to the government and how much to the
roads.
Carriers of the Southern group to-
day reduced their application for rate
increases from 309b1 per cent to
30.697 per cent, Withdrawing their re-
quest for special commodity rates and
asking blanket advance. r. V.

out which has nov haen entirely lost
to this port because of the lines di-
version to transatlantic trade be-
cause of the labor troubles.
In connection with the longshore-
mems strike he said that p combina-
formed to stand together in such a
manner as completely to tie up the
business of the port. This combina-
ton was known as the Transportation
Trades Council. 1t was composed, he
said, of checkers, clerks, foremen,
lighter captains, coal handlers and
weighers, with whom the longshoremen
and truck drivers are affiliated.
New York needs all of it's present
transportation facilities and much
more, and if such a conspiracy can be
mercc of this city will be dominated
by union labor" he said.
"This meeting must result in action.
NC are gong TO do this job ourselves
and do it thoroughly. Any one here
who is not in the frame of mind where
he will be prepared to do his full duty
and who cannot be counted upon for
loyalty and determination, would best
quietly and promptly leave the meet
ing.
Fight for the People
"Iswant one thing thoroughly under
stood-this is not movement to create
condition whereby working people
are deprived of their unquestioned
right of organization or are deprived
of the reasonable and legitimate use Of
of l,,%
trustees for the people of this city
and there is an obligation resting on
each of US TO help protect those many
thousands Of our citizens who, less
fortunate than ourselves, are unable
to defend themselves"
MIR. Roster, in telling how the situ-
alton was handled in San Francisco,
said that an independent carriage sys-
TEN was established and three-year
contract entered into with IS per cent
of the merchants of the town to do
all the drawing for them. They col
lected fund of $1O00,00O to carry
out their plans, he said. 1t was not a
question of fighting any organization
of any character, he declared, but it
was lighting for principle, and if
labor organizations stood out for a
false principle, in order to fight that
principle they could not help fighting
inc oISdHiZa ZION.
Mr. Marling then introduced Walter
Gordon Merritt, counsel for the Citi-
zens' Transportation Committee, who
said:
"An organization of workmen planted
in the midst of this city and called
the Transportation Trades Council has
assumed the right to dictate what mer-
chandise shall be transported and per-
mtted to enter the markets of the
nation for the consumption of the
American people.
This organization, representing
more than 100000 employees, has
adopted formidable scheme to deny
transportation facilities to merchan-
disc which at any point had been
handled by non-union men, and so rob
the American people of their sovereign
right of choice in making purchases.
Here is a scheme of industrial autoc-
racy unparalleled in the history of the
city"
He declared that the piers of New
York We're dominated by "organized
gangs who have installed "a system

Wage Increase for.
Signalmen Fought

CHICAGO, May 25.-E. T. Whittier,
representing the railroads of the United
States, to-day took up the demands of
the signal men and maintenance of
way workers before the Railroad Labor
Board.
Mr.. Whittier told the board that the
demands presented by the two classes
of employees at the hearing in Wash
ington were not justified The signal
men stated, he said, that their de-
mands were based on the increased
cost OF living, while increases already
granted during the last five years have
exceeded the rise in living costs. The
increases granted, he said, ranged from
1870 to 160 per cent for signalmen and
ITO to 160 per cent for helpers, while
the working day had been reduced
from ten to eight hours. The men now
receive 70 to II cents an hour, he said,
and are asking an average of IS cents.
Mr.. Whittier read two letters, signed
by the general chairmen of the Chicago
& Northwestern signalmen at Madison,
Wis. and the Nickel Plate signalmen
at Hammond, Ind, asking for a wage
or 80 cents an hour, and pointed out
that the demands made at Washington
were for 85 cents.
J. M. Pappee, representing the sig
nalmcn, replied that through an error
some general chairmen had exceeded
their authority in writing the letters
The maintenance of way workers are
paid all they are WORTH" Whittier told
the board. Their work has been made
comparatively easy by shorter hours
and Introduction Of labor-saving
methods, such as power driven hand
cars, he said. Although the schedule
calls for an cight-hour day the men
average about six hours, he said, as
they are paid for the time coneumed
in travelling from ther section house
to the days work and back again

Replies to Glenn Plumb
Blames The War Conditions
Rather Than Government
for the Present Situation

WASHINGTON, May Efficiency
of private management and the justice
of the railroads demands for billion
dollars additional revenue were defend
ed by railroad representatives to-day
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission against ross-examination of
counsel for shippers and employees.
Under private control the roads ex-
pect to show greater efficiency and
reduce expenses, Daniel Willard, presi-
dent Of the Baltimore G. Ohio Railroad
declared in answer to questions by
Glenn E. Plumb. representing the rail
road employees. For period, Mr..
Willard said, greater service will be
demanded which will cut into immedi-
ate saving by the roads. Restoration
Of fast freight service and express
the public, he added, also will cut into
savings resulting from greater eff
cheney.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Mr..
Willard said, was not returned to its
owners by the government in the condi-
tion in which it was taken over. All
the roads in the country were at least
one year behind in their equipment
purchases, he asserted, adding that the
responsibility for this should be placed
on war conditions rather than on gov
ernment operations.
Frank Nay, vice-president Of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail
road, explaining the QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the roads on which was based
the estimated need Of a 1000, 0,000 900
additional income said that hec0uSe of
the unsettled conditions during the
coal strike last fall figures were used
for the year ending October 81, 1919.
Answering questions by shippers.
Mr.. Nay said that about 800 Of the
small railroads did not return the
questionnaire but that if their valua
tion were taken into consideration the
percentages of increases asked would
not be materially changed. Additional
incomes should be raised entirely from
freight revenue, Mr.. Nay declared and
not from passenger traffic, demurragc
or terminal charges.
q. NJ. Schriver, vice pres dent of the
Baltimore g. Ohio described in detail
the statistics presented by MIR. Willard
on which the carriers Of the eastern
territory base their requests for 80
per cent advance in rates if the COM
mission should reduce the freight in
crease from 80 to 25 per cent or allow
S II per cent return instead Of s per
cent, or reduce the property investment
account valuation Of the eastern rail
roads by 10 per cent, he said, the $50
100000 surplus provided for in the
estimates would be wiped out, and
