EXECUTIVES REPLY
TO UNIONS letter
Hint Complaint Was Intended to
POment Labor Trouble

New Haven, Jan. 4.-William II.
Johnston. president OF the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists. a la
Dor union OF railroad shopmen. has
sent letter to th- Interstate Com.
merce Commission asking that body
ito make an immediate investigation
OF the expenditure OF funds by the
railroad companies of this country for
the maintenance of their equipment
since July list. 1922" The Associa
ton of Railway Executives reply is
sued yesterday Is:
This request. in view of the fact
the Interstate Commerce Commission
are consumed in doing just such
things, seems unnecessary. The Inter.
state Commerce Commission has po.
lice powers over all the accounts OF
all the railroads and monthly each
road files with the commission de.
tailed reports, according to the COM
missions Specifications, showing the
traffic, operating and financial con-
dition of the company. These reports
are all made public.
IAN examination of the report OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for October shows that on the So
largest roads in the country-repre-
senting about IS per cent of the ma
tons mileage, equipment mainte.
nance costs amounted roughly to 113
million dollars, while in the same
month year ago they only amounted
to about 81 million.
"A further examination of similar
reports of the commission shows that
in October year ago the railroads |
reduced the number of bad order cars !
from about 10000 to $4,000. In |
other words they made a reduction |
Of 10000 in the number of cars await
ing repairs. In the same month this
year they reduced the number of bad
order cars from about 29o, 900 to 24S,-
100 or about 10000.
"On August l last 345,000. or 1853
per cent of the freight cars in use
New Britain herald., 1923-01-04

throughout the country were In need
OF repairs. On December ! only GEO..
900 cars or 90 per cent were In need
of repairs, In other words In the
period In which Mr.. Johnston's union
has been on strike. and IN which he
claims that the railroads have spent
such enormous sums for maintaining
their equipment, and have not done
SO satisfactorily. the official records
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion show that they have reduced the
number OF bad order cars by nearly
$4,000.
mr.. Johnston discusses traffic
conditions of this fall. apparently
with the view of showing that be-
cause the shopmen were not taken
back, the roads have been unable 10
meet the demands made upon them.
However, in spite of the shopmen,
the coal and other strikes, and with
extremely large crops. the records of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
show that the roads in September.
October and November handled the
greatest volume of traffic ever han
died in any three months period in
the history of the country"
Then the railroad executives put
this query:
"Mr. Johnston's letter is so mis-
leading that 1t raises the question as
to what was its purpose. Did he
draw the attention of the Interstate
Commerce Commission (although 1t
Is the business of the commission to
be able to inform Mr.. Johnston or
anybody else of the exact condition
Of affairs in the railroad world) to
what he was pleased to paint as a |
situation from a sense of |
moral duty? Or did he write his !
etter to give it to the press with the |
dea of encouraging the men still out
IN strike? Or did he do it with the
dea that the commission might ask
he railroads to take back those shop
nen still out on strike? Or was his
etter written and made public by
ar. Johnston, as a representative Of
labor union, just to embarrass en-
loyers of railroad labor?''
