JEWELL MAKES
PLEA BEFORE
LABOR BOARD
Declares Cost of Living
Does Not Warrant Cut
In R. R. Wages.

Chicago. April 2S.-Reduction of
railroad wages would impair the
sta ndard of American living and
would have no Justification in "ethics.
economic reason or the cold. concrete
facts Of present day industrial life
it was declared by r. NJ Jewell, head
OF the railway unions. which opened
the employees fight to retain present
wage scales before the railroad labor
board today
Mr.. jewell declared that it would
require three years for railway en-
ployes at their present wages, to re-
coup the losses sustained during the
war period "by the failure of their
earnings TO keep pace with the in
creased cost of living
The railroads rush in and say
Give us our pound of flesh,'" Mr..
Jewell said. "even before it can be de-
termined whether the cost Of living
has actually declined since the award
of this board or whether it will be
higher or lower in the future. The
insistencc Of the railroads upon a
wage reduction in our opinion. has
been most unexpected and unseemly
There are no data which can be pre-.
sented to this board which would jus.
tify the board in authorizing at this
time reduction in the rates of pa.
Of railroad employees"
Mr.. Jewell named prevailing wage
rates in similar industries an6
changes in the cost Of living as the
two main considerations which SHOULD
direct the boards decision in the
wage controversy. He said there hat
been no reduction in wages paid ir
the basic industries comparable to tht
railroads and that there mad mo
been a. sufficient reduction in the cos
Of living to justify a reduction il
wages that We're inadequately to NEE
living costs at the time they were es
tablishcd.
Coal mining and the steel indus
tries are the only basic industries
that may be compared to the railroad
industry" Mr.. jewell continued "anl
il is we'll known that there have bee,
no wage cuts for the miners or TO
the steel workers."

good of the people Of the state. The
local banks in which these funds had
formerly been deposited did not pay
interest except on time deposits. he
said, and by the operatioo e the
state bank the people received this
interest. He appealed to the local
feeling of his audience by telling them
that the western part Of the state had
been given the use of more than
million dollars OF public funds be-
longing to the eastern section by the
operations Of the Bank of North Da-.
kota. He also declared that it was the
local bankers who we're responsible
for the high rates of interest charged
by the private banks Of the state on
farm loans.
A New Reason.
Senator Baker also advanced q new
reason for the refusal Of outside bank
ers to purchase North Dakota bonds.
These bonds are too good, he said.
trouble with their customers. to
whom they have previously sold
bonds which are not so good as those
Of North Dakota. The failure of the
Bank Of North Dakota to pay checks
drawn against it was explained as be-
ing mere bankers conspiracy and
the speaker apparently wished to
HAdhe duuAS:lCc OcjlcVc Ludl There
had been no actual refusal by the
Bank of North Dakota to pay such
checks. The bonds of North Dakota
| are now being sold. he said, and in
| side of two months these things will
be liQuidated and the frozen assets
| pass away.
Murphy States His Side.
In replying to Senator Baker. Mr..
Murphy made short work ofN his as
sertions regarding the non-payment OF
checks by producing the statement OF
F. W. Cathro. manager of the Bank
! of North Dakota. for April 16, 1921
in which Mr.. cathro admits that
checks amounting to $139,000 had
been registered and not paid. IIe
then launched into his main argu-
ment. saying that he would assume
the burden Of the proof that Senator
Baker had failed to produce. The
Bank of North Dakota, under man.
agement in the past. has been a detri
mept to the stateAof North Dakota fol
three reasons. These are:
First. Because the manage
mcnt has shown an absolute con-
tempt for Law and has diverted
public funds illegally.
Scdend. Because the manage ,
mcnt has used the bank for po-
htical purposes and hiss transfer
, rcd the public funds NOT only to
..lsA mills and elevators, ETC., but also
J. indirectly .s.sstoy -the st,ogsup,cIs's
