ing is left for the employees but to
stand on their constitutional right to
retire from the service of these car
riers.
"We are advised through the
newspapers that the Interstate COM
merce commission has authorized a
considerable reduction in freight
rates.
Notwithstanding the fact that
; the wages of the railroad employees
have been reduced II per cent. since
July /, there was no talk of a reduc-
ton of freights 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 con-
sent of the railroads had the rail-
roads not bee nconfronted with this
emergency"
The establishment of open shop
conditions on the fremont and Gulf
railroad and the strike at noon yes
terday of trainmen on the Interna-
tional and Great Northern were un-
der discussion at today's conference,
but none of the chiefs would COM
ment on the situation on those roads.
President Lee, however, stated he
had received reports from his gen.
eral chairman on the International
and Greatt Northern that practically
all of the trainmen had quit the SER
vice.
One of the subordinate leaders.
however. said that If it is correctly
reported that the men on the Ire
mont and Gulf railroad have accept
ed open shop conditions it is due to
the fact that they are few in num-
Der and have little hope of their re-
sistance being successful. They in
timated that the fremont and Gulf
situation will be brought to ahe at
tention Of the railroad labor board
when it meets in Chicago Wednes-
day.
President Sheppard of the CON
'ductors. commenting today on the
action OF the shop crafts in voting
against joining the strike said
II do not construe their action to
be break with the brotherhoods.
They are probably reserving the
right to take action in their own be-
half and pursuing their own tactics.
President Lee of the trainmen is
sued a statement on the human
side" of the railroad wage question,
in which he declared that the bulk
of the rtain service employees receive
approximately SGT week for a six
day week and whatever is earned
above that amount Is through extra
service.
