Means to Avert Strike
by II. N. I'VE INVhIHIJ,
International News Service.

The United States Railroad Labor
Board-storm center Of the wage
controversy which threatens to pre-
cipitate the mightiest transportation
tie-up in the country's history-is
about to go on trial for it's life.
Inability of it's members to emerge
victorious from the anti-strike nego-
tiations which open in Chicago tomor-
row with chiefs of the big Four"
brotherhoods will mark the launching
of a concerted drive in Congress for
abolition of the board, according to
opinion expressed today by Senator
Cummins of Iowa, chairman of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee and author of the law which cre-
ated the wage-fixing body.
Open defiance OF the Labor Board
and reputation of its decisions by
both railroad executives and labor or
ganizations has led Senator Cummins
to the conclusion that immediate and
drastic changes in the boards legal
makeup will be imperative IL the i'm
pending conferences result in failure.
Rail Act Needs Teeth.
"If the railroad labop leaders and
executives continue in their refusal
to accept decisions of the Labor
Board" Cummins declared, " II would
be futile for IL to continue to func-
ton. Nothing would be left to Con-
gress to do but to abolish the board
altogether. or to put teeth in the
transportation act"
Abolition of the board, rather than
enlargement Of its powers. In under
stood to be favored by the majority
of members of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. through Gov
ernmental regulation of railway
wages and working conditions would
be perpetuated by transferal Of such
authority to the Interstate Commerce
Commission along with it's control
of freight and passenger rates. It
is pointed out that consolidation OF
these regulatory agencies would
make II easier for the Government to
deal with knotty transportation
problems than under the present
Prospect Is Gloomy.
Government officials were hopeful
that the Railroad Labor Board would
be successful in its effort to avert
n general walk-out by securing con.
cessions from brotherhood chiefs.
The knowledge, however, that the
board, has no means OF enforcing
ts decisions resulted in the fear
that efforts OF the body would be
unsvailing in the present emergency.
President Harding is not in Wash
ington today and is avoiding per-
sonal intervention in the railroad
quarrel until Il becomes clear the
the labor board Is unable to deal
with the situation.
II was pointed out that strike
plans OF railroad labor leaders in
all probability would be halted imme-
diately IL railway executives would
agree to a keAIral percentage reduc-
ton OF rates. which, with the con-
sent OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission, could be put into ef.
feet twenty.four hours after the new
tariff schedules were filed with the
commission.
There are no indications that rail-
road managers plan such a step,
but the suggestion has been made In
official quraters that failure Of other
agencies to prevent the threatened
strike might cause the Interstate
Commerce Commission to make the
first move in n proposed sweeping re-
duction Of freight rates.

can.

The conviction was expressed by

The matter of "translating the July

at Washington. Reports current here

board were here for the conferences

The impression prevailed in labor
circles that the strike will be averted.

have declared any faction that would
assure a withdrawal of proposals or
further wage cuts by the railroads
would forestall the strike, and post
ponement Of further wage reductions
