tioning. the appointment and or.
gdnization of the labor board can
be- expedited.
Il cannot share the apprehension
of yourselves and your constituents
as % the provisions Of the law con-
ccruinG the labor board. ! believe
tnosn provisions are not only appro-
PIRATE in the interest Of the public
which after 1ll is principally com
posed of workers and their cami,ii"s,
but will BE- tuund particularly in the
interest Of the railroad employees as
a. class.
Tho argument that the public rep.
rescutatiycS on the labor board
viii bc produced against labor ho.
cause drawn from classes of society
antagonistic TO labor, can. and ought
to bc overcome by selecting such
public representatives. aS cannot hc
charged with any such prcjudices.
Nor do ! anticipate that the public
representatives. will be against wage
increases because they involve rat"
increases. Not only must public rep.
rc,c natives be selected who can b"
relied upon to do justice but tn" bill
itself provides that the labor board
shall establish rates and wages and
salaries which IN the opinion of the
board are just and reasonable, and
1t is further provided that the en-
tire labor board shall be- guided by
the very important standards which
are provided in the law, those stand
ards including the wagcS paid FOR
similar kinds of work in other in
uustrics. the relation between wages
and the cost Of living, the hazards
skill required. the degree Of rcspon-
sibility, the character and irregular
ity of the employment, and the cor
:cction OF inequalities as the result
of previous adjustments. Coupled
Nith the direction 10 the labor board
to take into consideration these i'm
pOrtant standards is the highly i'm
portant direction to the commission
TO prescribe rates sufficient 10 admit
Of the payment Of the reasonable op.
Grating expenses, including, Of course
fair rate Of wage.
My hopes are that the putting
into cficct of these provisions with
a carefully selected labor board
whose representatives. can be relied
upon To- bo fair to labor. and To ap-
prcciate the point Of view Of labor
that il is no longer to be considered
rs "a mere commodity, will mark the
beginning of now era Of better
understanding between the railroad
maEagcments and their emIdoycs,
and will furnish safeguards TO the
just interests of railroad labor.
- am sure that every agency
which will be involved in tho ere
alton OF the labor board and in the
conduct Of negotiations fully apprc-
oiatrs that the wage demands are
entitled to the earliest possible con
sideration and disposition and there
fore | do not anticipate delay in the
appointment and organization Of Ia
bor board or in the other necessary
steps"
