RAIL WAY PEACE MOVES
SLLllNPED PERCEP7ZBLY Y
AFTER ROADS, REFUSAL

chinery to decide disputes between the
carriers and their employees
'The railroads have made all nego
tiations merely formal, thus throwing
on the board an impossible burden oi
arbitration. The board has abolished
overtime pay for Sundays and holi-
days, enjoyed for thirty years even
on unorganized roads The board has
established rate Of pay of $500 a
year though the department Of labor
fixed the bare cost of living at over
81 400 and minimum comfort budget
at over $500.
When the basic wage is unjust, It
follows that all wages graded upwards
for skill and responsibility are like-
wise unjust. Organized employees sup
port your declaration of May %, 1921,
that the lowest wage must be enough
for comfort and insure that the strug
gle for existence shall not srogd oct
things purely worth living for and
should provide for amusement, recre-
alton and savings. Employees have
never violated any decision of the
board; but the railroads have violated
decisions and employees have refused
to work under wages fixed by the la
Dor board which violated provisio is Ct
the transportation act.
"The board has attempted to unload
financial burdens of railroad manage
ment upon employees through irEde-
quate wages and this will undermine
the health and prosperity Of he neAt
generation After exhausting II sthsI
er methods, the employees sought again
to obtain conference land agreement
with the railroad executives. Only
as a last resort did they strike. We
insist that no ntarrup-
ton OF commerce or interference cf
mails was caused by direct n Hlaw-
full acts of the organized employees.
Such interruptions and interfer ,ice re-
suited inevitably from attempts of
railroads to operate with insufficient,
and unskilled ,yorkmcn.
.Such interruptions and interference
will continue and increase until agree
nent is obtained on just and reason
,ble wages between the representa-
lives of the skilled employees and rail-
road executives who up to date have
refused even to meet with employees
representatives. We stand ready to |
cooperate wholeheartedly with any
Effort to bring about such IN agree
nent"

ters of the striking railway slopmen

orderly, well disciplined strike"

waited by the presence of troops, rail

of public officials and the press in pre-
serving law and order, the statement
said

sponsibilities highly colored and Vi
ciously exaggerated, have been report
ed, the statement said.

UNUSED CAR BURNED.
Was in Garage on Frattini Place
Building Partly Burned.

A quick response, together with val.
liant and well-disected efforts, on the
part of the fremen prevented more
serious loss at the home Of Charles
Frattini of Frattini place shortly
after O'Clock this morning. Mr.. Frat
tint received a call from a neighbor that
there was fire in his garage and, upor
investigation, hasty call was sent ia
the central station, the two trucks re.
spending. An Overland roadster, which
il Is claimed has not been driven this
year, and which was locked mp in agar
age, was enveioped in flames wnen the
company arrived.
It was found necessary to string .
line Of hose from q hydrant near The
Harrison Granite company, 40 feet
away, and this was used to good nd
vantage in subduing the threatening
fire. Before the fire was put under con
troll, however, the top of the car was
completely burned of. the aphoistcrins
burned, tires total loss and the paint
on the body and the wheels badly
scorched-
The inside of the garage was pr~tty
well gutted, the walls of the flamt
building being burned almost hall
through. while corner Of the roof was
broken through. The car and building
are both covered by insurance in the
J. W. Dillon agency, which this morn
ing stated the loss to be as~high as Sc
per cent. The car Is the property OF
Charles Frattini jr. No cause was Civ
en- as to the origin Of the flrv as no one
had been near the car, but it may be
attributed 10 spontaneous combustion
The wonder was expressed oy some
that the fire did not consume entirely
the property damaged.

FIRES ORIGIN UNCERTAIN.
May Have Started from Box Of
Matches in Bureau Drawer.

Waterbury, July l3.-The Hunt
ley tenement house, owned by Will
liam Richards and occupied by the
family of Herbert Farnsworth, was
damaged to the extent of 5000 yester-
day afternoon and the Farnsworth
family lost considerable personal prop
erty in a fire which broke out in one
of the chambers from an uncertain
cause.
The fire was discovered by Clyde
Morse, who was driving by, He called
assistance and then they broke into
the house, finding the flames making
considerable progress upstairs. There
was danger that the house would burn
until Walter Irish brought over the
small chemical apparatus from the
state farm in Duxbny, after which
the flames were extinguished
A first report was that .fe fire
started from curling iron but that
was denied by Mrs. Farnsworth. An.
other theory was that box of
matches in bureau drawer may have
become ignited. The family were
away at the time of the outbreak of
the fire.
