Burlington Official Criticizes Pro-

SEES STRIKES LOCALIZED
Union Leader Charges Misrepre-

By DAVID LAWRENCE.

The controversy over the abolition
Of the United States Railroad Labor
Board and the substitution of a board
If mediation and conciliation has de-
Velopcd some sharp differences of
opinion between the railway execu-
tiveS and the railway employees. In
order to obtain a statement of the
views of each side. the writer asked
w. w. Baldwin, vice president of the
Burlington railroad, and Donald
Rfchberg, counsel for the organized
railway employees, to prepare a COM
ment on the principal phases of the
Howell Barkley bill.
Mr.. Baldwin says:
The exact language of the Howell
Barklcy bill is as follows: The said
hoard shall use it's best efforts by
ronclliation to bring them to agree
n"nt. If such efforts to bring about
IN amiCable adjustment shall be un-
successful, the said board shall at
one" cudeavor to induce the parties
- submit their controversy to arbi-
trHtion.'
There is no other language defining
The scope OF their authority. If this
board ofCUnciliation eau do nothing but
t'! to persuade. is it not really a rcpeti-
ZION Of thu boards of adjustment.
Evening star., 1924-05-16

The present board cannot mediate
because of it's partisan membership,
so it has no powers of persuasion.
1t sits as board of arbitrators and
issues so-called decisions, which are
not enforceable. The railroads have
violated decisions frequently. Up to
November Is, 1928, violations of 355
decisions had been officially charged
against the railroads.
The Labor Board has no power to
enforce a settlement of any dispute
But the proposed board of mediation
can either bring about an agreement
or an arbitration and an arbitration
award becomes a legally enforceable
judgment.
1T is claimed that boards of ad-
Justment, being equally divided, are
not likely to agree. Corresponding
boards of adjustment agreed on de-
cisions of over 5000 controversies in
side eighteen months, 191S-1919, with
less than twelve disagreements.
Under the present law, decisions of
grievance disputes, which comprise
more than three-fourths of the Labor
Boards decisions are not enforce
able and have been frequently vio-
lated by the railroads Under the
lowell Ba arkiey bill decisions of ad-
Justment boards are enforceable as

whose powers are limited to persua-
sion? The only difference is that the
boards of adjustment are equally di-
vided and not likely to agree In any
important controversy, while the
board of conciliation consists of all
neutral members.
Defends Labor Board.
Now, under the Cummins law, both
the persuasive duties of the boards of
adjustment and the board of concil "a :
ton and the power of final Judgment
are vested in the Hooper board
whose composition is absolutely fair
If it cannot persuade, then it will de-
eide. Instead OF requesting the par

every element of neutrality and fair
composition that is provided in the
Howell measure, and the three repre-

We know that the Hooper board will

has done it too often not to know
that, That is why the labor leaders
want to get rid Of it.
But you never can know under
the Howell bill that one thing will be
done except talk in any dispute of
real moment like a material reduc-
tion in wages. Nothing will result
in such cases except a strike, because
not one of the Howell boards has
authority to render Judgment, and
strikes are invited and legalized by
clause s of section d.
Conspiracy Not Lcga.ized.
There is nothing in the Constitu-
tion granting a right to any class
to combine and TO conSpire in order
to destroy the public transportation
service of the people. and forbidding
courts to issue process to prevent
such conspiracy to inflict universal
injury. If railroad managers should
undertake such a conspiracy they
would soon learn there is no consti-
tutional provision authorizing their
action, or paralyzing the arm of the
courts from restraining them

in 1922 was called by the unions i'll

astute railroad lawyers either over

Questions Company Unions.
ut is claimed that company unions
may not nominate for national ad-
justment boards. But company un-
ions are opposed to national boards.
The proposed law leaves them free
to settle all disputes in conference,
through local committees or local
adjustment boards. Why should they
be represented on national boards to
which they do not desire to take their
grievances? What interest have they
in opposing national boards for ma
tionally organized workers?
1T is important to remember that
these adjustment boards have no au-
thority to make or to change wage S
or rules. They only interpret con
tracts-that is. they decide technical
disputes over the application of
agreements.
ut is claimed that the previous
mediation law, the Newlands act,
was not successful, and for proof it is
asserted that there We're 24S strikes

there were said to be 24S strikes on
153 different railroads. L also know
that seventy disputes were settled by
mediation in six years-that is, from
1913 to 1919, but none of them were
really important.
What was done under the New
lands act is a Door criterion of what
will occnr if the Labor Board is abol-
ished. Why was the Newlands act
repealed? Why was mediation then
called a failure" Why go back to 1t
when we already have an efficient,
neutral board in which the public
has the controlling voice, with far
more power and authority to preserve
railroad peace than is contained in
the Howell bill?
Calls Tribunal Fair.
THE Cummins law provides per-
manent tribunal fairly constituted in
which the public is represe nted, whose
duty it is to inquire into controversies
that threaten to interrupt commerce.
II is the duty of the parties to refer
their disputes to this tribunal. In all
our history there has never before
been a tribunal with duty to inquire
into the merits of a dispute, unless
both parties were willing to arbltrate

"The provision that no labor mem :
