ARBITRATION
SETTLES MANY
R. R. DISPUTES
3,066 Cases Settled Outside of
Court BY This Means by
- Pennsylvania Road
APPEAL POSSIBL E

Chicago, Sept. Unsatisfactory
settlements were reached in large
majority of the cases of grievances
and controversial questions arising
under the employe representation
plan Of the Pennsylvania railroad
system for the first half of 1928.
This was accomplished at confer
ences between the local officers and
representatives of the employees with
out recourse to any higher authority,
according to a report made by the
Northwestern Region headquarters
Of the system.
During this period a total Of 3,066
cases were taken up with officers be-
low division superintendents," the
report says. although appeal is
provided for to superintendents, gen.
eral superintendents, general mana
gers, and finally to a joint reviewing
committee equally representative of
management and employe, the num-
ber of cases carried to the general
manager totalled 2zs and those
reaching the reviewing committe, "a.
"Of the controversial questions
taken up originally or, on appeal with
the local officers, superintendents,
general superintendents and general
managers, almost half were adjusted
or compr omised in favor Of employees.
OF cases appealed to the reviewing
committee, about half were decided
in favor of the management"
The Pennsylvania plan was formu-
lated and established by joint action
of the management and employees
about two and one-half years ago.
The report concludes that under its
operation local settlement Of dis
putes has reached new high level
of success.

Citations have met many obstacles and
reverses in the last two years, they
have gained tremendously in prestige
not only among their own members
but with the public at large and the
principles and policy Of cooperative
marketing have been endorsed not

leaders in large industrial enterprises,
by legislatures, by the congress, by
cabinet members and by the late pres
ident of the United States. While
financing of their own operations was
one of the most serious difficulties
encountered by most cooperatives a
few years back, now all well organic

conservative basis and along approx
ed cooperative lines have little diff

is due not only to the new informed

the part of our financial institutions
of the value of these associations in
our marketing system.
