Arbitration in
Railroad Wage
Fight Ordered
United States Labor Board
Dismisses First Two Test
Cases-Lcaders Of Both

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased ire
Chicago, Feb. 22.->Railroad man
ayers and organizations OF railway
workers Stand face to face with the
first formal mandate for compulsory
arbitration ever issued Jy the feder-
al government
The mandat e came from the
United States railway labor board
when it dismissed the cases >ef the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railway and the Missouri and North
Arkansas railroad. the first two test
disputes on wages to be brought
before that body.
The board declared that it had no
jurisdiction because neither railroad
company had made proper efforts to
confer with its employees on the just
ness and reasonablencss of present
wages.
Railway executives and organiza-
ton leaders are both somewhat crest
fallen and dubious over the decision:
Railroad executives do not hesi-
fate to declare that the A. B. and A.
case was bungied. Because it was
the first wage dispute to be brough.
before the, labor board for adjudi-
cation, it was AN unfortunate be-
ginning according to one railroad
man..
The A. B.. and A. road this
man said. came before the board on
the pleading that it was broke and
could not pay the wages set by the
boards decision.-1t should have held
a conference with its employees and
shown that these wages were unjust
and unreasonable and would injure
the road financially if the men con-
tinued to demand them. This would
have been the course in harmony
with the letter and spirit of the
transportation act"
Compulsory arbitration. it is ,ex-
planned, appears most prominently
behind the decision of the labor
board in the Missouri and North
Arkansas case. .. ,'-n =,

charging the influence of this or
ganization at the expiration of the
Jail sentence he is now serving IN
Minnesota for disloyal uterancee
during the war,
Townley is reported as being
againt the nomination of candidates
in future by the league. Instead
the league will endorse the candi-
dates of any party, who subscribe
to it's program. somewhat as the
Anti-saloon league ard other politi-
cal organizations have done.
The new plan is to eliminate Of
flee seekers from the organization,
who. when they get in power, turn
traitor to the league. according to
Townley.
This procedure is more dangerous
than the old in spreading the Town
ley socialistic ideas as 1t undermin
es existing political parties with
their own candidates-The Manu-
