LEh|Gh VALLEY PRESIDENT
MAKES STRIKE STATEMENT


The following statement has been
made by +. +. Loomos. president of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, giving
his opinion on the present labor con-
troversy which threatens a country
wide strike:
The train service employees have
been given increases of approximate
ly 95 per cent since the Adamson
Act became effective January 1, 1917.
AS of July /. 1921. after fully hear
ing, the United States Railroad La
Dor Board ordered a reduction in
wages averaging IL per cent. Ac-
ceptance of this reduction, ordered
by a government tribunal, is the real
issue on which the labor leaders
have taken a strike vote and propose
to paralyze the transportation in
dustry of this country.
Although the railroads have, since
July /, given shippers the benefit of
practically all of ;he IL per cent
wage reduction through the big re-
auctions in freight rates already
made on grain. -four, iron and steel,
iron ore and many other commodi-
ties, continued pressure for further
reduced rates led tc railroad execu
tives at their Chicago meeting to
agree to ask the United States Rail-
road Labor Board to order another
wage reduction of approximately 10
per cent to be followed by a cor
responding freight rate reduction.
This was the only way to meet the
shippers demands. Any attempt to
make further rate reductions with
out an additional wage cut could
only result in placing the railroads
in a more precarious condition than
the shippers, sc dependent upon
them for efficient service.
AS to employees other than those
in train service, such as mechanics,
unskilled labor. etc, the same
classes of labor are employed by
other industries. The fact that rail-
road employees have been getting a
higher wage than those working for
others has caused great dissatisfac-
ton to many large employers. who
are also shippers, because they have
had to pay the big freight rates this
differential made necessary. Ger
tainly there is no hardship in plac-
ing such employees on a basis similar
to that of men of their own trades
working for others in the same To-
cality, and at the Chicago meeting
1t was decided also to ask the Unit
ed States Railroad Labor Board to
do this. the shippers to be given the
benefit of the reduction. Even I'M
der these conditions railroad labor
will continue to be in a preferred
class because of the pass privilege.
etc.
So far as the strike situation is
concerned, I prefer to make no pro-
phesies. The public is entitled to the
facts and protection and railroad Of
fcials are preparing to meet threat
ened conditions.

THE i BOARD

Editor Evening News:
Dear Sir:-At the recent primary
election held in u city 1 was in
formed through your paper that L
had received six votes for excise
commissioner. I take this means of
thanking these unknown friends for
this expression of their confidence.
This amusing incident was the
means of arousing in my mind the
question as to what o constituted
the duties of the excise commission
ers of Perth Amboy. OF course l
knew, in a general way, that the
commission was created to regulate
the traffic in liquors, and 1 further
knew that the addition of the eigh-
tenth amendment to the constitu-
tion<of the United States had d.
vorced the saloon from the state. so
that it was but natural for any
thinking person to wonder why We.
as a city, were continuing to keep
a commission to regulate that which
no longer existed. I started to ask a
few questions, and this is what I
found:
/. That we have a Board of Ex-
else Commissioners composed of five
men, each of whom receives a salary
of 5000 a year.
Q. That our city has had an ex-
else board since March s, 1885. the
present duties of which are express
ed in a city ordinance, known as
IAN Ordinance concerning Inns.
Taverns, Beer Saloons. and the Sale
