Announcement Made in State
ment Issued by 'sBig Four"
Brotherhood Chiefs.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.-Respons
bility for the nationwide railroad
strike, scheduled to begin next Sunday
morning, was placed on the United
States Railroad Labor Board and the
carriers, in a statement issued here
today This and the announcement
that all the general chairmen of the
big Five brotherhoods. numbering
about 500, also have been cited to ap-
pear before the board in Chicago
Wednesday, featured today's strike de-
velopments here.
The attitude Of the union chiefs was
explained after a conference Of four OF
the Big Five" leaders today, In a state-
ment by Warren s. Stone, president Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neere, in which the chiefs reiterated
their hope that q solution acceptable to
the employees may yet be found.
II was indicated that the statement
may be regarded as an owtline Of the
stand the labor leaders will take when
they appear with the executives Of the
railroads before the Labor Board.
The statement follows:
with regard 10 the position OF the
employees Of the railroad at this time,
we can only say that their representa-
tives are patiently awaiting for any de-
velopments that would appear to offer
solution OF the situation that con-
fronts us.
1--WE are not now, nor have ever been,
dssirous Of being party to precipitating
strike, but when It Is quite apparent
that the railroads propose to not only
reduce wages but to take ff@m those
employees practically all the conditions
Of service that have been maintained
for many years, and the Railroad Labor
Board is unable, or fails to give us any
assurance that the interests OF the em-
ployees VIII be protected from such on
slaughts by the interests that control
the transportation lines Of our country,
nothing is left for the employees but
TO stand on their constitutional rights
to retire from the services Of these
carriers.
1--WE are advised through the news
papers that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has authorized a consider
able reduction in freight rates.
notwithstanding the fact that the
wages OF the railroad employees have
been reduced IL per cent since July 1,@
there was no talk about a reduction Of
freight rates until this crisis arose.
Now the railroads are attempting to-
gain the sympathy Of the public in this
crisis by this late reduction OF rates.
The public never would have re-
ceived this reduction with the consent
OF the railroads had the railroads not
been confronted with this emergency.
