RAILWAY WORKERS
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Cincinnati. June 9-—President Hard
ing will be appealed to by the leaders
of 1.200,000 railway workers, part of
whom have already received wage
cuts from the railroad labor board dun
July 1. In an effort to stave off fur
ther reductions in their pay envelopes,
it was decided at a conference of rail
union heads last night.
Leaders of the eleven railway em
ployes’ organizations which Tuesday
decided to take a strike vote of their
memberships, agreed last night to out
line a letter to the President present
ing their argument for higher wages,
or at least no further reductions. A
committee of union executives was ap
pointed by B. M. Jewell, president of
the railway employes’ department of
the American Federation of Labor, to
draft the letter.
Approximately $110,000,000 will
lopped from pay rolls of the 400.000
«hop craft and the 500,000 maintenance
of way men under orders of the board
In July. The next rates of pay will
range from 54 cents an hour for me
chanics’ helpers to 70 cents for me
cbanlcs. The maintenance of way men
will get from 23 to 36 cents an hour-
These rates were branded as "star
vation wages” by the union leaders,
.and it is their intention, in the letter
to President Herding, to demand
whether the country's chief executive
thinks these wages sufficient "to
maintain an American standard of liv
ing and properly sustain a family.”
It is understood that the letter will
contain specific figures on what the
railroad men consider an adequate
wage and will endoavor to refute the
position of the railroad labor board
as set forth in their recent wage re
duction decisions. The letter was only
