too late yet for the Russians TO put

The Russians letter az outlined by
the reds begins by asking the allies
and neutrals to state the total amount
Of compensation desired for national

pay as far as possible. The Russians
demanded to know the extent Of
claims before, and now they say In

German reparations figures. that even
America would see the necessity Of

The move marks q new phase of
the nationwide suspension, and gave
promise that the next step toward
settlement might be In the form OF
action by the president. Such action
as wns taken by the chief executive
In the coal strike is suggested by the
new move Of the shop crafts leaders.
b. M. Jewell, head of the railway
employees department of the American
Federation of Labor. Thursday sent
telegram to President Harding reply.
ing to the presidents proclamation ON
the strike situation and opening a new
phase Of the grievances OF striking
railway men.
The telegram, which was signed also
by the six international presidents of
the railway shop crafts, declared that
the strikers had walked out because
wages fixed by the labor board were In
violation Of the provisions Of the trans
portation act and because Of the vio-
'ation of the labor boards position by
the railroads.
1T appears from your proclamation
Of July IL that incomplete information
has been furnished concerning the
present dispute between the railroad
operators and employees.
"Ninety-two railroads have violated
the tran. portatlon act or decisions OF
the labor board In 10i cases. These
invited not only contracting out work
inshops, but also wage decreases, in.
terpretatlons Of rules and right of en-
ployes to elect their own representa-
tives, When the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road refused to comply with the
boards ruling, Federal Judge Page
held that the boards position ON wages
or rules was only advisory. Thr
railroads have refused ever since pas
sage of the transportation act to es-
tabllsh national board OF adjustment
described by the labor board as the
central part of the machinery to decide
disputes between the carriers and their
ciHplOytS.
"The railroads have made all nego-
tiations merely formal, thus throwing
on the board an impossible burden of
arbitration. The board has abolished
overtime pay for Sundays and holi
days, enjoyed for thirty years even on
unorganized roads. The hoard has es-
tablished rate of pay Of $500 year
| through the department OF labor fixed
the bare cost of living at over $1400
and minimum comfort budget at over
$500.
"Such Interruptions and interfer-
ences will continue until agreement Is
obtained upon just and reasonable
wages between the representative OF
the skilled employees and railroad ex.
ecutives who up to date have re-
fused even to meet with employees
representatives. We stand ready to
cooperate intellectually with any eff
fert to bring about such an agree
ment."
