RAIL SITUATION
NOT HOPELESS
Hooper Sees Prospects For
Restoration of Cordial Re-
lations In Near Future.

Chica 90. June ls-The railroad situa-
ton today Is hopeful and by fall many
of the present difficulties will be
smoo,hed out. Ben W. Hooper, chairman
of the United States railroad labor
hoard, said in a statement tonight re-
viewing the problems before the board
Neither rates nor wages are permanent
he said, because the conditions on ~hich
they are based are not permanent.
He expressed the belief that the rail-
roads of the country will voluntarily
discontinue contracting out work IN
short time. regardless Of their opinions
as 10 its legality, and said that tnls
will go a long way toward restoration
OF cordial relations between the car
rlers and their employees. His state
ment. in part. follows:
peace Bird Here.
Amid all the mutterings OF discon-
tent and rumors of war on the rail-
roads, the note Of the peace bird Is stili
quite audible to me. II Is claimed as
one Of the inalienable rights or tne
.;izen in this country TO cuss any
court. board or tribunal for its Juds
ments and decisions. Boards vested
with Jurisdiction of labor disputes are
always in line OF fire.
A Few weeks ago d icduinS ia'iN'''
periodical asserted that the railroad
labor board was completely dominated
by the wishes Of the labor organizations
within the last few days the public
has been informed that the board Is
hind and deaf to everything except
the desires of the railroads. A dis
eliminating public will find the truth at
a point about half way between these
two extremes.
This whole railroad question would
be easy IL il were not so human. II Is
surrounded by general mixup OF folks
wanting many different things.
What They want.
The railroad owners want good pro-
fits. The employees want high wages
The public demands reasonable rates
and efficient service. The railroad
managements really desire every one or
these things, and their problem there
fore is a most dicicult one. Difficult
as may seem the simultaneous accomp-
Iishment of all these conflicting results.
the end will be attained If everybody
will just keep cussin.
In other words. out OF all this aglta-
ton. the American people will finally
learn the truth about the necessities OF
our great transportation systems tho
rights Of the employees and the inter-
ests Of the public; and then this know
ledge OF Will be followed by correct
action"
