Declares Official.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Completion of
the United States Railroad Labor
Board hearing on charges that shop
employees on the New York Central
railroad were coerced into accepting
piecework was expected today with
some expression of opinion that a
decision might be handed down be-
fore July J.
Samuel NJ. FELTON,, president of the
Chicago Great Western railway and
chairman of the western committee
on public relations of the Association
of Railway Executives, who yester-
day asserted that rail strike be
cause Of recent wage cut decisions
was unjustified. declared that dispro-
portlonate rates in wages of railway
employees. with mass of burdensome
legislation, are fast driving the
country toward condition in which
It's production and industry will be
restricted or strangled by inadequate
railway systems.
But for the burden of traffic lifted
by the coal strike the railroads Of
the nation would be taxed to the
limit in meeting the requirements of
INDUSTRY and commerce, he said.
For the week ended May q. Mr.
FELTON, said. car loading. exclusive
of coal. amounted to $4,000 cars,
compared with $4,000, including coal,
for the same period "A year ago
In every Imaginable way" he
SAID, the railroad managers have
been trying to awaken the public to
realization that traffic would soon
revive and that the railroads must
have increased facilities to handle it,
The railroad managers have cried
Wolf" and now the wolf is almost
mere. For months railway managers
have tried to impress the commercial
and Industrial interests with the fact
that II rates were reduced without a
corresponding cut in wages, the lare-
est item in operating expenses, the
roads would be unable to provide the
equipment needed to care for the
traffic certain TO be offered"
