Big A Offer
New Solution
On Seniority
tcontinued from nase oae)

meath the others in seniority grades
would prove impracticable, if not i'm :
possible, as on their return to work
at the same time on the same day all
the former strikers would automati-
cally fall into one grade How, then,
could 1t be determined which workers
would be the first to be laid off in
times of depression, and where, in fact,
could any system Of seniority stand
at all?
| Stress Heavy Coal Demand
| Another point said to have been con-
sldered was the fact that settlement OF
the coal strike is certain to throw the
heaviest demands on the carriers for
the hauling Of coal to industries clam
orlng for 1t, these coming at a time
when the farmers are demanding cars
TO move their crops. With transpor-
tatlon in bad shape, it has been con-
tended previously, the roads would find
it impossible adequately to meet these
basic needs of the country.
Should the executives agree to the
union proposal in principle it will not
mean necessarily that it must be in
corporated in black and white agree
ment, according to the union point of
view. The unions, it was learned.
"rely thoroughly on the good faith Of
the executives, and are willing to ac-
oept gentlemen's agreement in the
matter"
1T is merely case of adjusting the
seniority rights of all workers, strikers
and new employees alike, to the aIti
mate satisfaction Of all, and this is
wholly feasible" was one summing ND
Of the proposal. perhaps the worst
that can be said of it, from the railroad
point of view, is that it involves some
recession toward the first settlement
proposal of the President of the
United States, and it is extremely diff
cult to see how such concession as
that could be damaging to the rail-

McChord Plan Discussed
The so-called "McChord proposal" or
grading of the returned strikers mid
way between the seniority standing of
the old employees who remained at
work and the new workers, was dis
cussed in the conference. il was
learned. For the reasons aforen,en-
toned this plan was held by the union
chlefs TO be unacceptable.
| only the seniority issue remains in
the way OF settlement, it was declared
last night. 1t was learned definitely
that the unions have not receded y
whit from their agreement to the pres-
ident's proposal that wages and all
other original issues of the strike be-
placed before the Railroad Labor Board

Pennsylvania Chairamn Pleased
with Railroad Labor Board.

New York, June 15.-"I particu-

declared Thomas De Witt Cuyler,
chairman of the association of rail-
way executives and one of the direc-
tors of the Pennsylvania railroad
company, in a statement relative to
the $48,0O0,00O wage cut with which
the railroad labor board reduced the
already too low standard of living
of the 100000 maintenance-of-way
employees and their families.
The main business of the associa-
ton of railway executives since the
railroads went back to private op-
GRAFTON has been the reduction of
wages of the railroad workers, re-
flecting the savings in wages in
more dividends and interest to the
stockholders and bondowners.
Cuylers' own road. the Pennsyl-

neighborhood of s5,000,000 in it's

Samuel Gompers Upho|ds
AmericaniSm Of Union Labor.

'The American Federation of La
Dor is a strictly American organiza-
tion," declares President Gompers
in an article in the New York ,Tri-
bune on the progressiveness of the
Federation. 1T must function in ac-
cord with American institutions and
with American psychology. It's poll
cies must be the growth of our own
sail.
The American Federation of La
Dor is progressive in every good
sense, rejecting nothing that is pro-
gressive if it is also practical.
The American Federation of La
Dor is not dream movement, sail
ing onward through crowds. Neither
is it an aimless movement adrift in
fogs. 1t knows where it is going, be-
cause the American workers know
where they want to go, and because
they are willing to carve the road
as they go out of their experience.
IF the American Federation of
Labor was not progressive it could
not hold the allegiance of the Amer
lean workers; if it were not Basic
ally sound in structure and in policy
it could not have withstood the vio-
lent attacks Of its bourbon enemies
in the last two years.
"Our movement is ever going for
ward in the service of the workers,
with its ideals and it's principles as
lofty as are to be found, but with
its day to day work patterned after
the needs of the hour and the con-
ditions of the struggle"
