A., B. & A. EMPLOYEES
ANSWERED BY BUGG
IN FEDERAL COURT
Receivers Petition Alleges
That Rail Labor Board Has
No Jurisdiction in Wage
Matter

In preparation for the hearing to
be begun Saturday morning before
Judge Samuel II. Sibley, Of the fed
eral court, Receiver B. L. Bugg, of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tic railroad, on Friday filed with the
court his answer to the petition of
the striking employees of that road,
seeking a revocation of the federal
court order authorizing reduction of
wages, which caused the walk-out on
March 5. At the same time an an
swer was filed by the Birmingham
Trust and Savings company, COM
plainant in the case, on whose petit
ton the railroad was placed in the
hands of a receiver.
The contention of the receiver is
that the United States railroad labor
board has no jurisdiction in the case,
according to it's own decision; that
the employees themselves, during the
early negotiations over wages prior
to the recivership, suggested the ap-
pointment of a receiver if the ROAD
could not operate successfully under
the then existing conditions; that
the road is facing a deficit of $780,
900 per month under the old wage
scale; and that the strike is wholly
unjustified.
It is also commended that the New
lands act of 1913, does not control in
this case, since the giving of twenty
days notice, as provided for in that
statute, would constitute confisca-
ton of property. since the road is
losing approximately $4,000 per day,
or $4,000 for the twenty-day period.
Both answers to the employees pc
tition for revocation of the wage re-
duction order are lengthy documents
and constitute the basis of the rail-
roads case, although it is Under
stood that evidence will be intro
duced at the hearing in substantial
ton Of the various allegations.
The entire history of the wage
controversy on the A, B. & A. is
recited in considerable detail, with
numerous quotations from the rec
ord of hearings before the federal
railroad labor board and conferences
between the employees and the Off
cialS of the road
