ASK FEDERAL
STRIKE PROBE
CoastWise Boat Workers AS
sociation Send Request to
Secy. of Commerce Hoover

NEW YORK, March 24:-Federal
investigation into coastwise towboat
strike called today was asked in a
telegram sent Secretary Hoover by
Thomas f. Healey, chairman of the
Atlantic and Gulf coast conference
of the Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association.
Operators of coastwise and
sound tewboats," said the appeal,
have effected March / substan-
tial decrease in wages of engineers
and other officers. Attempts to have
them defer wage cuts until May 1
haveN failed. Engineers and other
employees have left their positions
resulting in serious hindrance to
commerce.
Conflicting statements regarding
the effect of the strike have been
made.
While officials of the New Eng
land Barge and Towers Association
contended that licensed officers OF
their boats had refused to obey the
strike call, union leaders declared
that the walkout was progressing.
The strike sanctioned by the Ma
tional Marine Association was call
ed in protest against wage decrease
of $35 a month for ocean-going tugs
and $50 for boats plying in coastal
waters. Union leaders said 125
boats and $500 men eventually
would be affected.
Notices of the strike were sent
to Providence, Baltimore. Boston
Charleston, Portland. Me-, New Bed
ford, Me-. New London Bridgeport
and many other ports. Gulf coast
workers were not affected, as they
work under a separate agreement.
The principal commerce effected
would be coal for New England
southern lumber down the north
and fuel oil.

TELLS Of COSTS
Of RAILROADS
Proposal WoIlld Amount to
S6,000,000 and Services
of Over 5000 Men.
tRy The Associated Prsss.I

CHICAGO, March 24.-Negotiat-
ing rules and working agreements
on each individual railroad as pro-
posed by railway executives would
cost the railroad workers from more
than $6,000,000 and require the serV-
ices of more than 5000 men. 1t was
stated before the railroad labor
board by NJ. B. Jewell, president OF
the railway employees department of
the American Federation of Labor
in presenting the labor side of the
controversy over national rules ana
agreements.
IF the requests of the conference
committee of managers of the asso-
citation of railway executives were
granted, and the national agreements
abrogated by decision of the board,
remanding the subject matter OF
rules and working conditions to the
respective railroads and committees
of their employees for conference on
Individual lines. the employees con-
ference committee on each railroad
would necessarily be composed of
at least one man from each craft at
each point on the railroad. For the
1O7 roads listed the figures would
show the services of 5,15S commit
teemen would be required at a total
daily expense of s65,760, and total
expense for 90 days of S5.9 S,442,
besides additional expense.
Much of this enormous expense
on both railroad management and
labor together with the consumption
of valuable time of the high skilled
and essential railroad officials and
employees, could be eliminated by
corporation between railroad man
agement and the recognized railroad
labor organization. Through the cre-
alton ef a conference committee or
ganized to represent on one nand
railroad managers and on the other
railroad employees of their pars.eu-
lar craft"
He cited figures to show that
ninety five per cent of the 455,776
railroad shop employees of class i,
carriers, are members of their re-
spective organizations and declared
since 1912. since the railroad em-
ployes department of the American
Federation of Labor was organized.
there has not been single author
ized strike of federated shop craft
employees.
"It is also significant that during
this time" Mr.. Jewell said, 1.-THE
OF Just and reasonable arrangements
and working conditions and uniform
ruies applying alike to all railroads
was made.
"As representing the fed Grated
ship craft employees we hold an
agreement applying alike to all rail-
roads would be- a great, If not the
greatest factor, in assisting to es-
tablish efficient and economical rail-
road operation. 1t will remove the
costly labor turnover which has al
ways existed to a greater or lesser
extent and is due mostly to the fact
that wages and conditions of eni-
pioyment on one railroad were more
favorable than upon another rail-
road"
Mr.. Jewells statement is expect
ed to occupy several days in pre-
sentaticn to the labor board follow
ing which the labor side will pre-
sent numerous exhibits on the var
ious rules and principals OF the ma
tional agreement.
