TRA|NMEN'S WAGE
PLATFORM MAPPED
Brotherhood Head to Press
6-Hour Day, 5-Day Week
at ParIey.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio, December %
The six-hour day, five-day week, and
wages sufficient to permit workers to
be useful consumers" will be the plat
form OF A. V. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. in
the coming railroad wage negotiations.
Whitney gave the first complete ex-
position OF his views in a statement
prepared today for publication in the
brotherhood's magazine.
The president Of this large brother
hood blamed business stagnation and
unemployment suffering. in large part,
upon "overconcentration" of wealth.
Short Day Benefits Cited.
He recalled that when the railroad
industry established the eight t-hour dav
other industries followed the example,
with the result that all industries were
benefited. and said If the railroads
would now establish the six-hour day
and five-day week they would start a
movement which would revitalize con-
sumlng power and the Nations indus
tries.
Relief can come only from a re-
VltallZation CT mass consuming power
by cutting wages" Whitney said
To give new life to mass consumption
1t will be necessary to put every worker
TO work at wage which will give him
an income sufficient to purchase from
the flow OF goods which our production
system has been geared up to produce
and which has been damned up for
nearly two years by an almost un-
oelievable concentration of wealth which
has made it impossible for millions of
our citizens to buy even the barest ne
cessities of life"
II this mass consuming power is not
restored" the brotherhood president
continued. capital as we'll as labor
must remain idle and continue to be
unable TO produce the many human
needs and comforts which the brain
OF man has taught us are available
to all mankind"
There is a strange paradox in the
present situation. Whitney said
Neither capital nor labor prefers to
remain idle, but to the selfish and mar
row desire of an infinitesimally few to
shield. and even to increase this con-
centrated wealth, neither capital nor
labor is permitted to carry out its bene-
flcent aims"
Applying his principles directly on
the railroad wage situation, the brother
hood leader said the introduction of
shorter hours on the railroads would
place millions of men at work and
an increase In the total purchasing
power of the railroad employees would
