Only an immediate application of
the principle of collective bargaining
will settle the railway labor cOntro-
yersy and avert a national crisis in
the transportation industry, according
to b. NJ. Jewell of the railway en-
ployees' department of the American
Federation of Labor He told the
railway labor board last week that the
fight of the executives on the national
agreements was "a smoke screen to
obscure the fundamental issues, and
made these suggestions:
First. that the board refer the ma
tional agreements which are now be-
fore it to a joint conference of the
representatives Of the railroads and
of the labor organizations with the
recommendation that their agreements
be adjusted by negotiations MS soon as
possible, the board agreeing to pass
meIiately upon any points of diff
ference which may arise from the
negotiations.
Second that the board request the
representatives of the railroads and
representatives of the labor organiza-
tions to meet the board in conference
TO consider the establishment of
boards Of adjustment as contemplated
by the transportation pact.
Third, that in reply to Mr.. After
bury's notice to the board and his
subsequent letter to the chairman nd
vising him that he contemplates fling
a food of individual complaints to re-
duce the wages of unskilled employees,
the board recommend to Mr.. After
bury that he meet in general confer
ence with the representatives of the
employees affected so that the exist
ing general agreements will not be
impaired and the matter brought to
the board in the form of a single
complaint"
