NO STRIKE TALK
AMONG WORKERS
SAYS RAIL CHIEFS
Charge That All Threats of a
Walkout Were Being Inspired
by Union Leaders.
MEN HAVE BEEN LOOKING
FOR A WAGE SCALE CUT
Are Really Not in Sympathy
With Resistance to Decisions
of Railway Labor Board.
(sv The Assoolatsd Prsss)

CHICAGO, June 7.-DeclarIng that
there is no talk Of a strike among rail-
way workers. the presidents Of six Chi
caEo roads tonight issued a Joint state
ment charging that all threats OF walk
out were being inspired by union lead
ers.
The statement. which was signed by
II. e. ByrRm Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul; Hale Holden Of the Bur
lington; II. w Finley, the Northwestern;
J. e. German, Rock Island; C. II. Mark
ham, Illinois Central and 8. NJ. FELTON,,
Chicago Great Western, follows In part;
Threats OF a strike, made by leaders
Of the railroad labor unions are appear
ing with such frequency that the time
seems opportune for questioning the
soundness Of their talk There is a very
good reason for doubling whether the
men themselves. that Is. the railroad en-
ployes, really are In sympathy with re-
sistance to the decisions of the United
States railway labor board.
''The truth Is that the men have been
expecting a reduction in their wages and
haze made. or are making preparations
70 Meet the new scale, There is no talk
of strike among the men. the disturb
ing statements read by the public are
prepared by leaders of the unions. whose
viewpoints have been distorted by months
of effort before the board to resist the
inevitable downward trend OF wages. The
employees on the other hand are in the
main. interested in taking care Of their
jobs and homes. and few employees in any
industry have more good reasons for do
ing so.
"B. NJ. Jewell, spokesman for these
railroad unions. has severely criticised
the decision Of the railroad labor board
awarding the reduction in wages of shop
employees. Jewell says the decision will
cause employees to believe the board is
not an impartial court created to help the
railroads to carry out their labor policy.
He attacks the wage award also on the
ground that the proposed scales are lower
than the minimum required to support
the average family according TO Ameri-
can standards.
THE public should not overlook the
fact that in deciding the proposed wages
OF these employees maintainence of way
men and shop, the labor board which is
a government body, said after the re-
ductions made under this dectsion-these
employees on the railroads win still be re-
ceiving as rule a wake ia excess OF
that paid to similar employees in other
industries The board held in its opin-
ion that measured by the present cost OF
living, the average hourly wages of ma
chinists for instance. after July /, will
stiH have 10 per cent more purchasing
power than in December, 1917; those of
carmen 46 per cent more purchasing pow
err and those of common laboYers Is Ia
per cent more. That is TO say, measured
by the cost Of living, their wages will
stin be these percentages higher than at
the end of 1917"

an who Is alleged to have thrown a box
of snuff into the face of a woman worker

that followed a worker TO his home and
threw stones at the house. One revolver
shot also was fired through a window.
No one was hurt.
All those arrested in yesterdays dis
orders were released on bonds today.
Strike leaders through an agreement with
the police co-operated in maintaining or
der among the crowds of strike sympa-
thizers that gathered near the min gates
morning and night.
Am4oskeag officials claimed that % per
cent more looms were in operation today
than yesterday. The mill, one of the
units Of the great Amoskeag plant. was
reopened Monday after a shut down OF
the plant since February 1S, due to the
strike against a 20 per cent wage re-
duotion and 81 hour week.
No appreciable change was reported in
the situation at mills in other parts Of the
state which also reopened on Monday
with small forces of workers. State La
Dor Commissioner Davie said all mill
owners fri the state had rejected his sug-
gestion that the wage and hours dispute
be referred to the state board of concil-
iation and arbitration. The Manchester
strikers have expressed willingness to
submit wages but not hours to arbitra-
tion, but strikers in other places have
not replied to the commissioners com
