nish employees with copies of all
statistics presented. was made to-
day by the employees representa-
tives.
The demand was made, 1t was
sai0 to prevent inaccuracies con-
corning the wages now received
from creeping into the minutes, -
T., T, Whittier, chairman of the com
mittee representing the Association
of Railway Executives, which is
presenting reply tc the demands
for increased wages. agreed "he
furnish the employees representa-
tives with copies of all testimony
presented and to inform them of
the source of much information"
The employees representatives
said when they presented their tes-
timony before the board in Wash
ington they had furnished the
roads with copies of their statistics
and work sheets showing how these
statistics were reached.
The demand came after Mr.
Whittier had attacked demands of
the railroad clerks for higher
wages on the ground 1t would be
unjust to many men and to the
ro ads to grant a blanket increase
"While many of these men merit
consideration, it would be unfair to
grant a general increase affecting
all of them" he said. Fully one
half of these clerks are from Is to
23 years of age and receive good
pay considering their age and ex-
perience."
Mr. Whittier said the average pay
for Junior clerks was $3.50 a
month and that the proposed wage
increase would bring their pay to
ait average OF S12S.30 a month.
During the past five years they
have received increases of from ~
to 1870 per cent. he said
Mr.. Whittier, also raised the
question of the boards authority
to grant increases retroactive to
any date prior to March l when the
transportation act creating the
board went into effect.

guaranteed by the government in

Frederick Strauss, New York,
also appearing for the roads, de-
clared "A so or 60 per cent increase
in freight rites would have no ap-
