RAIL BOARD ABOLITION
URGED IN HOUSE BILL
Kansas Representative Seeks to
Substitute Some "'Disinter-
ested Tribunal"

Abolition of the Railroad Labor
Board and Its replacement by dis
interested tribunal" for the settle
ment of railroad disputes, is provided
in bill introduced in the House
by Representative Hoch Of Kansas.
The measure recognizes the right
Of the individual to quit work.
Mr.. Hoch said. and also recognizes
the right CT collective bargaining.
However, 1t penalties the railroad
lockout and likewise penalties any
conspiracy or concerted movement to
quit work and disturb transportation
as against the public welfare.
"A patched up peace in the railroad
strike will be only temporary relief"
Mr.. Hoch said in discussing Ills meas
ure. There is no palmer duty before
Congress than to seek more perma-
nent solution. These recurring dis
putes cannot longer be treated as
matters Of private concern only, in
which the great public has no right
to intervene. To tie up the trans
portation arteries of the nation is to
threaten the very life of the people,
"Only two courses are open. One is
government ownership and operation
with all its evils of political manage
ment so recently demonstrated. The
very last resort The other course is
to attempt some regular, orderly
method for settlement without aban-
doning private ownership. And then
having provided a Just and fair trib-
unal, make the lockout and the strike
unlawful. just as they would be if
we had government ownership"
Mr.. Hoch is a member of the inter-
state commerce committee.
