RAILROAD WAGES Sh&ll they be determined by Industrial Warfare or Federal Inquiry? To the American Public:. Do you beliere in arbitration or indus trial warfare? The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the cpuntry to enforce their demands for a 100 ? ? million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service ? your service. This army of employes is in the public service ? your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On ail flu* Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five percent of the train employes earned these wa^es (.lowest, highest and average of all) as shown by the payrolls ? ?

The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking tor yojj. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. ' Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Gov ernment determine this issue?
