PUTS PUBLIC DUTY
UP TO RAILWAY MEN
Hooper Shows They Are Bound
Morally as Much as Rail-
roads to Give Service.
REALLY IS AN OBLIGATION
Fixing Wages, He Argues, Can
not Depend Upon Adjustment
of Freight Rates.

Special Despatch 90 THE NEv YORK HEEAr D.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3-Railroad employees
are morally bound 10 give the public
efficient ana uninterrupted service and,
with their nlanagements. share responsi.
b!lities TO the people, said Ben W.
Hooper, vice-chairman of the United
States Railroad Labor Board, in an ad-
dress to-day before the Chicago Traffic
Clup.
Upon the theory that railways are
public utilities, enjoying under their
franchises practical monopoly. the
right OF eminent domain and other pow
ers. the Government has assumed the
right to regulate carriers in many ways
1T seems to me this theory Is ap-
plicable to the employees also. for the
Government has bestowed upon the en-
ployees the highest dignity and power
ever conferred upon labor in any land
The statute places the carrier and the
employees in a contractural relationship.
It IS this recognition of the rights of
labor, coupled with a guaranty of ju-
diciai protection against arbitrary and
unfair treatment which. in my Judgment,
makes il morally as obligatory upon the
employees To give the public efficient
and uninterrupted service as IL is upon
the railway mana cement"
Mr.. Hooper called the proposal TO
invest the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with power TO fix wages "a
glaring fallacy."
The fixing OF wages cannot be made
10 depend on freight rates" he said.
Because there has been reduction
in wages. 1t necessarily follows that the
carrier is thereby enabled to stand a
reduction in rates. But 1t does no.;
necessarily follow that a reduction in
rates justifies a reduction in wages
II may, or it may not. II the Interstate
Commerce Commission were empowered
10 fix wages it would have to do il
on the same basis on which II Is now
done by the labor board, and not upon
the basis Of freight rates.

RAIL PAY STILL 20 p. G.
HIGHER THAN IN 1914
Industrial Relations Associa-
tion Considers Wages.

a discussion OF wages and earnings OF
business concerns occupied the sessions
OF the Industrial Relations Association
of America yesterday at the Waldorf.
Magnus W. Alexander, managing direc-
tor Of the National Industrial Confer
ence Board. said that determinations OF
the War Labor Board were based upon
the theory that wages must rise or fall
with the fluctuations OF the cost of liv-
ing. but that the American Federation
OF Labor at its Denver convention last
summer repudiated this doctrine.
1T Is not the amount of wages man
earns that determines with what de-
gree Of comfort he can support mis-
family. but IL is the purchasing power
Of the real wage that counts" said Mr..
Alexander.
The railroad employees. Mr.. Alexsn-
der said, were 81 per cent. better Off
on July /. 1921. than in 1914. with re-
gard to their buying power, and. al
though 121s per cent has been taken
off their wages. they are to-day nearly
20 per cent. better off than In 1914.

ROADS TO ANNOUNCE
NEW RAILPAY CUTS
200 Operating Officials, Meet
ing Here, Decide to Act
Next Week.
THEN RATES WILL FALL
Companies Study Living Costs,
Wages in Other Industries
and Economic Problems.

Nationwide announcements of fur
ther reductions in the wages OF all
classes of railroad employees will be
made by the carriers the latter part
of next week. This was definitely de-
cided at meeting here yesterday OF
more than 200 operating officials. rep
resenting all the railroads east of the
mississippi and north OF the Ohio River.
called TO consider ways and means Of
cutting railway operating costs to en-
demands of the Harding Administration
and shippers for reductions in freight
rates.
The meeting was unanimous in the
view that present conditions necessitate
the earliest possible reductions in the
wage scales and the attitude of the
delegates removed entirely the posi-
bility that the carriers might allow fear
OF further strike threats to delay their
proposals for reducing train service en-
pioyes' wages by 10 per cent. and all
other classes Of workers to the going
rates OF pay for similar work in non
transportation industries.
The decision 70 have all the roads
notify their employees of the proposed
cuts on the same day is also in accord
with resolution adopted at the associa-
tion's meeting three weeks ago, 1t was
learned here yesterday.
The procedure will follow that pre-
scribed by the transportation act of
1920. Employees will get thirty days
notice. followed by conferences between
the managers and representatives of the
men in an attempt to agree upon the
reductions. Upon failure to agree dis
putes will be certified to the Railroad
Labor Board for decision.
When that stage is reached railroad
officials believe the board Will be unable
10 resist indefinitely the insistent public
demand for lower transportation costs.
It was stated at the close of the
meeting yesterday that the railroads
have under way comprehensive studies
of living costs. wages In other industries
and the varying conditions in the dit
ferent territories served by the railroads.
Final reports of these Investigations will
be made at a second meeting or the
operating officials here next week.

WHEAT BELOW DOLLAR
FIRST TIME IN s YEARS
Speculation at Lou Ebb in the
Chicago Market.

Soeeias Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.--For the first time
since October. 1915. wheat for future de-
livery sold below dollar to-day. May
wheat at that time sold down to 96&
cents. December wheat sold to 9s3a
cents shortly before noon to-day. The
closing prices were from 90 to 99A
cents.
There probably is no time in the his
tory OF the grain trade when specuia-
ton was at lower ebb than at present.
and it is the lack of speculative interest
which is. in measure. responsible for
the present low figures. Business de-
preston. financial unrest and the un-
employment situation are contributing
factors.
