"The truth is that the men havf been expecting a reduction in their wages and have made or are making, preparations to meet the new scale. There is no talk of strike among the men. The disturbing statements read by the public are prepared by leaders of the unions, whose viewpoint has been distorted by months of effort before the board to resist the inevitable downward trend of wages. The em ^ployees, on the other hand, are in the ^aiii sincerely interested in taking fcfcre of their jobs and homes, and few employees in any industry have more ' good reasons for doing so. V'B. M. Jewell, spokesman for these ' railroad labor unions, has severely criticized the decision of the railroad board in awarding the reduction in wftges of shop employees. Jewell ' 4$ys the decision will cause employees to believe the board is 'not an impartial court created to help the 1 railroads carry out their labor policy.' ' He attacks the wage award also on the .ground that the proposed scales are lower than the average family according to American standard. "lite public should not overlook the WffPWPjThese^ employer1 nance of way and shop, the labor | board, which is a government body, said, 'After the reductions made un' der this decision . . . these employees on the railroads will still be receiving as a rule a wage in excess of that | paid to similar employees in other industries.' The board held in its opinion that measured by the present cost | of living, the average hourly wage of machinists, for instance, after July 1, will still have 19 per cent more purchasing power than in December, | 1917; those of the carmen 46 per cent J more purchasing power, and those of common laborers 45 1-2 per cent. That is to say, measured by the cost ^ of living, their wages wil still be . these percentages higher than at the end of 1917."

The only point on which an agreement was reached was that the United States should be the arbitrator, should a method of arbitration henceforth be found.
