MANUFACTURER TO APPEAR
BEFORE RAILROAD LABOR BOARD

Hartford. May 21.-President E. Kent
Hubbard of the Manufacturers Associa-
tion of Connecticut announced today
thar industries and other business inter
ests of the United States will be repre-
sented at the hearings before the rail
road labor board now considering mat
ters of railroad wage increases at Chi
cago In view of the fact that the above
interests are the chief shippers and re-
ceivers of freight and indirectly repre-
sent the public interest in relation to
railroads this action was decided upon.
The following telegram suggesting
that such action be taken, was received
by Mr. Hubbard from the presidents of
the chamber of commerce of the United
States the national conference of State
Manufacturers association. national in
dustrial conference board and national
association of manufacturers, four or
ganizations with which the Connecticut
association is affiliated:
Public interest and necessity seem IL
me most vital issues at stake in wage
questions now pending before railroad
labor board. Would it not be most
! desirable to have representatives of your
organization attend hearings before the
board? While some wage adjustments
are undoubtedly merited [ believe boart
! should avoid further horizontal in
| creases made without due regard for diff
ferences in local conditions and charac
ter of employment Please advise you
| opinion
| Replies already received assure tina
| for the remainder of the wage hearing
! the interests of those who pse the road
and pay the freight will be directly rep
resented. Just what is involved in tn,
questions before the railway wage boar
is indicated by the following:
Every 100000, 900 Increase in wage
to railroad workers means an increas
of about three per cent. in railroa,
rates.
The total increase requested by tn
railroad workers amounts to about 81,
000.oo0.o0o a year, to fully meet whic
a thirty per cent. increase in railroa
rates would be necessary
The roads have already asked for
thirty per cent, increase in rates; i
q second 80 per cent. increase were t
be added 10 this the result would be
sixty per cent. increase on the rates. tn
cost of which would have to be paid b
the public and by the public alone.
