Tells Wage Hearing
By ths Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-A union
economist yesterday told an arbi-
tration board hearing wage dis
pute between the Nations railroads
and II incorporating unions that
the carriers have more freight
traffic than they can handle" and
revenue and profits have increased
substantially" over the first six
months of 1916.

tilted at the 10Th session of the
board hearing the dispute over the
unions demand for 20-cent hourly
wage increase Final arguments will
be heard tomorrow. Board members
then will go into an executive ses-
sion before announcing decision.
The law provides that arbitration
awards are binding on both parties.
Mr.. Homer said the Nations rail-
roads are in sound financial condi-
ton. He said financial reports to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion at the end of 1946 showed the
ratio of current liabilities to current
assets was .456, the lowest on record.
The difference between total cur
rent liabilities and total current as
sets was approximately 81 900, 900, 900,
a margin of safety exceeded only
once sin the previous Is years, Mr..
Homer added.

West, told the board that the wages
of incorporating railroad employees
lag far behind those paid in other
industries.
The IT unions represent approx
mately 100000 incorporating en-
ployeS.
