Angered by the railroad labor
boards acceptance of evidence from
public organizations IN connection
with the wage controversy, B. NJ.
Jewell, leader of the railroad work
ers, bolted the hearing with repre-
sentatives of 100000 hail en-
ployes. The action, he explains, was
protest against the policy of the
board which a year ago admitted, as
pertinent. evidence on the railroads
ability to pay certain wages, and
which now admits evidence on the
shippers ability to pay certain rates
Congress established the labor
board to fix Just and reasonable
wages" he says. The board has no
authority to listen to evidence and
to make its decisions on evidence
which has nothing to do with what
are Just and reasonable wages"
Such an argument almost leaves
us gasping. What does the man
mean? What are Just and reason
able" wages? Just to whom? Rea-
sonable, by what standard? Any dis
interested judge or observer or arbi-
traitor in the world, we believe,
would declare that justice and sea-
son in the fixing OF wages must Of
necessity take into consideration the
ability OF the employer TO pay as
we'll as the capacity of a worker to
earn. II should be obvious that a
railroad with a total income of
100000 a month cannot pay out
100000 for supplies and 100000
for wages and continue in business.

lust and Reasonable Wages
(From the Chicago Tribune).

1t must provide something on In
vestment. Even the worker woulu
admit that If he had bought a little
stock with some of his earnings.
Clearly the only way in which
wages could be maintained would DO
to increase income by increasing
rates. So justice and reason must
admit evidence on rates, despite the
Jewell contention. But higher rates
may cut off business and reduce
total evidence on the ability OF
shippers TO pay.
What, then, is a "just and reason
able wager" It must be a wage
which takes into consideration both
the ability OF the railroad TO pay
and the ability of the worker TO
earn. Justice and reason must seek
an equitable division of whatever
moneys are available. More than
that they cannot hope to do.
There are two ends to the scale OF
justice. When one goes down the
other must go up. Mr.. Jewell ignores
the balance. He puts an arbitrary
contention into one pan, and APP
parently expects some astral infiu-
ence to keep it level despite the
facts Weighing against it. 1t doesn't
work that way. II a Just and rea-
sonable" wage is really what he
wants the most simple reasoning
would require exactly the informa-
ton which he refuses TO accept
Without SUCH information no wage
decision can be anything but arbi-
trary whether pay be cut in half or
doubled.

plause from delegates and from the

sprinkled the gallery, a platform of

terms, the prohibition amendment
