employees department of the American
Federation of Labor, Thursday sent a
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-
lation Of the labor boards position by
the railroads.
The text Of the telegram follows:
1T appears from your proclamation
Of July II that incomplete information
has been furnished concerning me
present dispute between the raElroAd
operators and employees.
"Ninety-two railroads have violated
tive transportation act or decisions OF
the labor board In 104 cases. These
invited not only contracting out work
insheps. but also wage decreases. In
terpretations 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. The
railroads have refused ever since pas
sage of the transportation act to es-
tablish national board of adjustment
described by the labor board as the
central part of the machinery to decide
disputes between the carriers and their
employees
"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 board has es.
tablished rate Of pay of $500 a year,
through the department of labor fixed
the bare cost Of living at over $14O0
and minimum comfort budget at over
$500.
when the basic wage is unjust it
follows that all wages graded upwards,
for skill and responsibility are like

"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
fort to bring about such an agree
