COHEN I I The House of Preparedness R i 'I i Federal Inquiry or. Railroad Strike? r i Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of 1 $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by r reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. j With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration t The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: , "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harinonire our differences of opinion and th?t eventually tha matters in controversy must he passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your | proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of ita accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi, tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, 5 that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and i promptly dispose of the questions involved; or i 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act). ? Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote f Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration e or Federal review, and the employes arc now voting on the question whether j authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
