Harding Insists Only Public Be
Represented on Commission
of Inquiry.

Misunderstanding the senate Ia
Dor committee was taking the first
formal action toward creation of a
coal fact finding commission as rec
commended by President Harding, the
president let it be known that he was
disposed to insist that the Investigate
ing body be made up exclusively, of
impartial representatives of the pub
lie without special representation for
either mine operators or employees.
A bill for commission on which
the president would be free to choose
representatives of the operators, min
ers or the public as he saw fit, was
favorably reported by the senate COM
mittee
At the same time the house inter
state commerce commission, working
Independently, refused to strike from
its tentative bill provision which
would expressly prohibit membership
on the commission to any person hav-
ing any interest in or connection with
the coal industry.

ROADS PROPOSE POLICIES
loree Maintains His Stand Against
Return Of Seniority Rights.

New York-Preliminary to the ses-
sion of the Association of Railway
Executives when members will vote
their attitude toward proposals of the
big Four" brotherhoods for ending
the shop crafts strike, the Eastern
presidents conference held secret
meeting to formulate a policy for it's
II members
What action the Eastern group,
powerful lines, will pursue was not in
dicated, those attending meeting as
sorting they had been pledged to
secrecy. The only comemnt was made
by L. F. Loree, president of the Della
ware & Hudson, chairman of the con-
ference who issued statement set
ting forth that Atlantic coast roads
which normally employ 161,339 shop
men, had brought their forces up to Is
per cent of that figure on August 10.
This represented an increase IF 2.5
per cent over the week of August H.
Roads represented were those which
led the opposition when the national
body of rail chiefs rejected Harding's
two proposals for ending the strike by
submitting the seniority issue to the
Railroad Labor board
Mr.. Loree saying that he spoke for
himself alone, made the following
statement: =
"You can quote me as saying I stand
solidly against any surrender and it is
a surrender on the part of the roads
to give back the strikers seniority"
w. w. Atterbury, vice president of
the Pennsylvania system, said: "Mr.
Loree speaks for the bunch, and I will
back anything he says"

NBrainerd Journals hss: II There IS q
great deal Of. conf Il IN the public
mind concerning thesss seniority rights z
Npf railroad employees To state the
matter concisely, seniority in eacn
class Of railroad employees means that
those who have served longest in the
continuous employ Of railroad stand
at the head of the list in the order of
their length Of service. Standing at
the head of the list means that they
have first call upon promotions, de-
sirable transfers and continuous EN-.
ployment. -, - *
For the classes Of men now on strike
the seniority rules were promulgated
by the United States Railroad Labor
Board on November 20, 1921, in ad.
dendum No. 6 to decision No. 222.
The chief provisions are:
Rule II. Employees serving on
night shifts desiring day work shall
have preference when vacancies occur,
according to their seniority.
Rule IS. When new jobs are created
or vacancies occur in the prospective
crafts, the oldest employees in point OF
service shall, if sufficient ability Is
shown by trial, be given preference in
that may be desirable to them.
Rule H. When it becomes necessary
to reduce expenses the hours may be
reduced to forty (4O) hours per week
before reducing the force. When the
force is reduced, seniority as per rule
81 will govern. In the restoration of
forces, senior laid-off men will be Civ
en- preference in returning to service,
if available within reasonable time,
and shall be returned to their former
positions if possible.
Rule 20. When reducing forces il
men arc needed at any other point, they
will be given preference to transfer to
nearest point, with privilege Of return
ing to home station when force is in
creased, such transfer to be made
without expense to the company. Semi
GRITTY to govern all cases.
From the above rules it is clear that
the employees whose names stand TO-
ward the head Of the lists of their class
valua BILE privileges:
l. Choice Of the opportunity Of shift
ing from night work to day work.
2. Choice of desirable vacancies or
new jobs when created.
3. In case of reduction of forces,
assurance that they will be the last to
be laid off and the first to be taken
on when forces are increased.
4. When forces are being reduced at
one point and maintained or increased
at another point, the opportunity of
filling the vacancies at the other point
temporarily without losing their rights
at their regular place Of employment.
The striking railroad employees insist
they should be taken back and given
all the above mentioned seniority rights
which they lost when they voluntarily
left the employ of the railroads. The
railroad executives insist that when the
striking men return to work they
should not be given back the above
mentioned seniority rights, but should
take their positions as new men.

Some newspapers are troubled over
the parole law, without evidently
knowing much about it. 1t has taken
years Of education and progress to get
away from the old bloodthirsty theo-
1ies Of vengeance, yet these papers,
and not a few lawyers and judges,
seem so eager to punish without con
sidering reform, that they are willing
to go back to kind of thinking which
is reactionary, useless and wrong. So
long as human affairs and human
made laws are administered by human
beings, it is possible to make mistakes,
and yet one does not condemn principles
and systems because of an occasional
error in administration. Considerable
harm is done the people at large and
the interest by the newspapers and
legislators accepting "gratuities !"
from the public service companies, yet
no one urges on that account the alb
clifton of legislatures and newspapers.
The adage still holds true in many
es.that it makes Il difference whose
