State Will Be United
In Case of a Strike

Portland, Me, Oct. 25-The follow
ing telegram has been sent to Gov
ernor Baxter by President James Q.
Gulnac of the State Chamber OF
Commerce and Agricultural League:
I'VE note with concern that a ma
tionwide strike of organized rail-
road labor has been called to take eff
feet, with regard to the New Eng
land lines, on or about November
first: In the event of such a strike,
the resources of the State of Maine
under your direction would undoubt-
edly he organized for the relief of the
public and to maintain avenues of
transportation for the necessities Of
life.
The Maine State Chamber of
Commerce and Agricultural League,
through it's Executive Committee and
Board of Directors. offers you every
possible cooperation. We believe,
also. that YOU may count upon each
of the affiliated organizations for To-
cal assistance, if needed. The officers
and facilities Of the State Chamber
are at your command"

asked for approval of the chief exc
cutives, which approval was then and
there given. They left the city of
Chicago for their respective homes
and the Date for the strike has not
only been set and approved, but the
men are determined to peacefully
leave the service of the railroads un-
til a satisfactory adjustment has
been reached.
IF, press reports are to be taken at
their face, the whole power Of the
administration is going to be used to
defeat the strike of the employees.
Not one word comes through the
press that any influence is being used
upon the railroad corporations, What
is to be done between now and Oc-
tober so no one knows. There seems
to be no disposition on the part of
any one to bring about an equitable
adjustment and there is where the
matter stands"

inactive part in the strike contro-
versy between the boad and the
| unions. 4 .~.
Tonight board members discussing
the statement said that the board
! might take up a new procedure IN
rendering decisions, handing down
individual rulings for individual
groups OF employees instead OF one
decision covering all of them.
1t was pointed out by one member
that the statement left to the board
| the right to render a wage decision
for any one class of employees so soon
as the rules and working conditions
for that class had been Settled. but
that thi procedure would stretch into
months before all classes could be
| considered.
In this connection, a union leader
! declared there were several organi-
| cations, noticeably the conductors,
which had no rules questions before
| the board and that consequently a
petition for lower wages for them
might be taken up by the board i'm
mediately without the board in any
| way going back on its statement.
The statement was not to be
| looked on in any way as an ultima
tum to the railroads. board members
said, but was presented in the hope
it might bring action from the roads
| which would tend toward averting
| the threatened walk out.
In its communication to the roads
the board declared that If both sides
would consider the delay necessary
before wages again could be reduced.
they would realize that there was no
cause for immediate strife between
them over this point.
The unions, not taking into con-
sideration this delay were crossing
bridges before coming to them when
they called a strike, the boards state
ment said.
| 1t pointed put that the carriers had
repeatedly urged quick decision on
the rules and working conditions,
] questions now before the board. and
that it had determined several weeks
ago to settle this matter before TAX
ing up anything else.
|
the board during it's eight months
existence 1900 still are unsettled, the
statement said, adding that proper
CO. operation. between the Unions and
the roads would have prevented
many Of them coming to the board.
| The boards statement, members
said. was issued tonight in the hope
that it would result in representatives
of one side or the other in tomor-
rows meeting voluntarily offering
som plan to clear up the crisis. The
board itself has no definite plan it
was said and will try in the hearing
merely to bring out all the facts in
the case.
A formal statement issued by the
executives committee declared that
the carriers were powerless to take
any other position than that of seek
ing further wage cuts.
Railroad executives are not aware
Of any present dispute between them
and their employees" said the state
ment. THE strike vote was taken
solely against decision Of the labor
board reducing wages by IL percent
last July.

I Bangor & AroostooK Railroad. have
every reason to believe that 1t will De
confined to q few classes OF our en-
pleyes and we are taking every pos
sible step in advance to be ready to
fill their places and to give the pub
lie fairly good service though we may
have to reduce train service to some
extent.
1.-THE public should clearly under
stand that this threatened National
strike is not against the management
of any railroad. but is against the
United States Government itself, for
this reason, viz:
During the period that the rail-
roads of tine country were operated
by the United States Government
several large increases in wages were
given by the Government to all
classes of railroad employees. and be-
fore the railroads were returned to
private operation, March }. last year.
Congress passed the Transportation
Ect," under which no railroad man
ager has the slightest power to fix
freight or passenger rates. Rates are
| established by an agency of the
United States Government, namely
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Nor has any manager the
slightest authority to fix wages of
any class of railroad employees.
Wages arc fixed by the United States
Railroad Labor Board at Chicago.
another agency of the United States
Government created by Congress es-
~
I'm 1920, shortly after the railroads
were returned to private operation,
the United States Railroad Board
gave all classes of railroad employees
another large increase in wages.
which the railroads under the law
| Lad to pay. but effective July. l. 1921.
the United States Railroad Labor
Board ordered a reduction in rail-
lead wages of about II per cent. The
proposed strike is against the accept
| ance of that reduction, therefore, as
the railroad management had moth
ing to do with either the big increase
in wages given by the Labor Board
in 1920. or the smaller decrease in
wages ordered by a branch of the
United States Government Board in
| 1921, the strike is against the Labor
Board. so that the strike is, if it takes
place. directly against our National
Government.
This brings us to the question of
| whether railroad union labor leaders
! are stronger than the United States
Government and becomes n question
| rot of convenience or inconvenience
to the public but one of the life of our
! National Government"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-10-26

1.-THE railroads have determined to
seek to reduce rates as means to
that end to further reduce wages but
the carriers have expressly decided
to proceed in accordance with the
law, =
The railroads wish it expressly un-
derstood that they would reprecate a
strike but that their first obligations
are to the public to render adequate
service at reasonable rates.
THE issue is very clear. Ii. present
wages are continued rates cannot be
lowered. If rates are to be reduced
present wages cannot be paid. The
railroads are powerless to take any
other position"
The boards statement to the car
riers was drawn up by Ben Hooper,
vice chairman of the board and men,
Der of the public group. 1t says:
Zone of the principal causes Of this
(strike )trouble- lies in the fact that
said carriers have notified certain
executives of said organizations
Conductors, engineers. firemen,
trainmen ito discontinue the consd-
Grafton of rules and working condi-
tons and enter into a prolonged hear
ing of an application to reduce wages
at this time.
ut is not within the province of the
board to shut the door in the face of
either carriers or employees, but,
= =" 1t is within the discretion
of the board to fix the order in which
it will take up and consider the nu-
merous matters submitted to It.
1T will thus become apparent that
the employees, who are protesting
against a further wage cut are cross
ing bridges long before they can pos
cannot hasten wage reduction by
applying for it at this time. .
1.-THE board IS not af-
fected by threat of strike"
While information coming from Ia
Dor board members was to the effect
that the hearing which begins to-
morrow probably would last at least
several days, members of the asso-
citation of railway executives said
that number of railroad heads were
making reservations on outgoing
trains tomorrow night in the belief
| that they would not be needed here
after that time.
The board voted to in favor Of
