Washington. ? in order io ascertain the position of tho business men of tho no t ton <Mi the controversy hot ween the railroads of the country and the 1 unions of train service employes, which was precipitated hy the demand ?? f the latter for an Increase in wanes that would amount to $1 00,000. 0t)0 a year, the failed States Choml?or of Com merce recently submitted the mat ter to a vote of all Its members. They were asked to express their opinion as to whether the dispute should he^al lowed to take Its course with the pos sibility of a ureal strike thai would tie up all the transportation lines throughout the country and paralyze all business, or whether they would fa'vnp the adoption to a Joint resolu tion by the two branches of congress directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to investigate and pass upon the matter. The vote received was a very large one and represented business organ izations in every part of t fie - coun try. The result was overwhelmingly In favor of placing the matter in the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commission. 084% votes being cast in favor of this course and' only 28^4 against it. The result showed clearly that the business interests of the country are unalterably against per mitting the transportation lines to bo tied up by a national railroad strike that would paralyze the commerce of tlio country and inflict enormous losses on all classes of citizens. Chairman Wheeler of the Compi It tee In charge of the matter for the Chamber of Commerce appear ed before the representatives of the railroads and their employes at their conference In New York In June. He announced the result of tho Com mittee's Inquiry among the business men of the country and urged both parties to tho dispute to get together and adopt the course suggested. As a result the committee of managers rep resenting the railroads submitted a proposal that the whole subject be placed before the Interstate Commerce Commission as requested by the repre sentatives of the business interests. As an alternative they offered to sub mit the demands to arbitration under the federal law. Roth offers were refused by the union leaders, who an nounced that they would go back to their unions and get authority to de clare a strike. This they have since been doing. Meanwhile a resolution has been In troduced In Congress directing the In terstate Commerce Commission to make an Investigation of railroad wages. This resolution is now await ing action. It is believed here that If nothing further Is done by Copgress or by the parties to tho wage dispute to bring about a peaceful settlement the business Interests of the, country, through the United States Chamber of Commerce, or some other organiza tion, will appeal to the Government to take some direct and decisive action to prevent the destruction of national prosperity by a strike on all the rail road linos. DEMANDS OF R. R. TRAINMEN. Wage Increase of $100,000,000 a Year Would Have to Be Borne by Publio. ? Tho train service employes of nil railroad lines In the Unitcd'Btates have united In a demand for a new basis of pay for all men engaged In operating trains, except those in passenger serv ice. At the present time they are paid on tho basis of ten honrs of time or 100 miles of distance, whichever gives them the higher pay; and every man receives a full day's pay. no matter how short a time he works. The trainmen now demand that, In all but passenger service. (1) tin; pres ent ten houra pay shall be given for eight hours, or less, with a guarantee of a full day's pay, no matter hcrr lit tle service Is performed; (2) overtime to begin after eight hours. Instead of after ten hours, and to be paid for at one and one-half times the hourly rate. These demands would increase the hourly rate of pay 25 per cent, and tho overtime rate 8~Vj per cent They .Also insist that all special extra pay provisions in the 10-hour schedules shall bo Included In the proposed 8-hour schedule. These speeinl rules frequently g!v<? double pay for tho same service, and enable the employes to c*nrn two and three days' pay in a single day of ordinary working hours. As the increase for all the lines is es timated to amount, to $100,000,000 a year the railroads say that they cannot pay it unless they are allowed to In crease freight and passenger rates. The average wages of the men en gaged in train service are already very much higher than those of other em ployees and they receive 28 per cent of the total payroll although constituting only 18 per cent of the whole number of railroad Workers.
