RAILROAD UNIONS

date"
Three operating brotherhoods-
the firemen, conductors and switch
men-also have declined presiden-
tial arbitration and, in state
ment late last night, their leaders
accused the administration of bum
Cling, delay and straying from the
processes of the railway labor act.
The Is incorporating unions, rep
resenting the shopmen, clerks and
other railroad employees who do
not operate trains, agreed t
week to let Mr.. Roosevelt arbi-
trate their wage demands, but
dispute then developed over the
issues subject to arbitration.
The unions said they accepted a
general increase of 4 to 10 cents
: an hour, recommended by a medi-
alton board and approved by Sta
: Utilization Director Fred M. Vim
son, and commended the sole ques-
ton for Roosevelt w a S whether
they should have overtime pay for
work over 40 hours a week.
The railroads said they expected
"an unrestricted arbitration of the
whole issue" They argued the 4
to 10 cents increase was based on
a contention that some wages now
are 'substandard" and added that
overtime pay would in itself raise
those wages above substandard
levels. Hence, they said, the ques-
tons of a general increase and
overtime were inseparable.
President Roosevelt told the I'M
ions yesterday that IF I am to
arbitrate the question of VIII
should be given for overtime in
the future, I could not be debarred
in advance from considering
whether or not there is merit in
= the carriers contention" He said
he proposed to proceed to final
determination unless advised by 10
J am. today that the unions were
unwilling for him to do so.
In their letter withdrawing the
/ case from arbitration, the union
leaders said:
Certainly substandard wages do
not depend on rates paid for over
time. To now suggest the posi-
bility that the incorporating en-
ployes should directly or indirectly
purchase time and one-haf after
40 hours by giving up part of the
overtime or reducing the meager
wage rate adjustments granted by
Sterilization Director Vinson would

and do violence to the prevailing
