TIRED OF TIE UPS
Tho American People. Do Not Want
Any More Rail Strikes or
WaIk-outs.

1.-THE people of the United States
are sick and tired of having railway
transportation and traffic periodically
interrupted by controversies between
railway arrangements and employees"
This Is the opinion, not of a parti-
san representative Of any special in
terest, but of direct representative
OF the public, the chairman of the
Railroad Labor Board, b. w. Hooper
former governor of Tennessee.
1T was this feeling which moved
Congress to enact the transportation
Act of 1920" Chairman Hooper con-
tinued.
private business is quite a different
thing from any supposed right to
choke and obstruct the flow Of inter
state commerce in this vast continen-
tai nation. Railway transportation is
not a private business. It is essential
to the very existence of our republic
and to the individual well-being Of
every citizen.
lido not hesitate to make the pre-
diction that never again will there be
successful railroad strike of any
considerable proportions or impor-
tance in this country. The people will
not stand for It. Every man concern
ed In traffic. travel production, every
consumer of the necessities of life is
absolutely dependent on the uninter-
rupted and efficient operation of the
railways. There must be peace on the
railroads. 1t is evident to every stu
dent of the situation that the railway
labor organizations have no just cause
for serious complaint at the treatment
they have received at the hands of
federal wage tribunals during the war
period and since. 80 . iFI.EN
1.-The wages fixed by the recent de-
cislons of the board will purchase
more than the wages received by them
prior to the war. In other words,
their wages have increased by a great
er percentage than has the cost Of
living. In some instances the increase
is strikingly notable.
with but slight exceptions, the
great carriers of the country have
| paid the wages fixed by the various
succeeding government tribunals. Now
that. the decreases have come, the
employees should be good sports and
accept the reductions"
