Western Newspaper Union News Service. !

Chicago, Feb. 19.-The Association
of Railway Executives at its meeting
here unanimously adopted with the
report of its labor committee resolu-
lions refusing TO enter into national
conferences suggested by the EN-
ployes as il means of settling diver
ences over wages of unskilled labor
and working conditions.
The committee report pointed out
that the opposition made by the roads
to the national agreements and the
position taken was not to be construed
as an attack on labor organizations
themselves.
"What we have been trying % do
and all that we have been irving ia
do" the report said, sis to get the
opportunity to deal with our EN-
ployes so as TO restore the efficiency
of labor on railroads and II possible
avoid unemployment and defer Sc
rious wage reductions.
"The leaders of the labor unions by
the position they have taken have
raised the issue whether the mainte-
nance and increase of the power of the
national labor unions shall be placed
above the public interest in the eff
cient and economical operation Of our
transportation system"
Il. NJ. Jewell, chairman of the rail
way department of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, asked the Railway
Board to refer the national agree
ments and the question of wages of
unskilled labor to a national joint con-
ference of railway heads and repre-
sentatives of the labor unions.
After referring to this demand and
the statements made by Frank T..
Walsh before the board that the
unions might find il necessary TO
make IAN earnest effort to prevent
Congress enacting into law pending
legislation for the financial relief of
railroads." ila report said:
so! xa:,Tv-ads are thus confronted
with this sitGst!on: While endeavor-
ing to escape from one set of rigid and
uniform rules and working conditions
inherited from the war, they are met
with a new demand which, If acqui-
esced in by the labor board, would de-
prive individual carriers of direct ne
gotiation with their employees.
Replying TO statements by labor
leaders that the railroad suggestion
TO abrogate the national agreements
was part Of a plot originating In Wall
Street to break down labor organiza-
lions the report said that the record of
the proceedings showed that the roads
began their opposition Immediately
after the transportation system was re-
turned to private ownership, when
production was at its height, when the
demand for labor in all lines exceeded
the supply and before the so-called

tries began
