RAILROAD
WAGES
Shall they be determined by
Industrial Warfare or
Federal Inquiry?
To the American Public: &
Do you believe 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 > i".
country 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.
1
On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) as shown by the payrolls—

A 100 mill ion dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
I he 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 for you.
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?

FAMOUS PLAYS

Ey RANDOLPH ROSE
I HAD a good Fiance
this spring when
the Giants stopped in m |
Chattanooga on their W
way home from the
spring t .fining camp ]
at Marlin, Texas, to \ *"*3? J
niae up tlrat wonderful
| ‘"phenom,” Benny
J Kauff.who comes to the
Giants this year with a
record of having been Bandoith Hus®
the leading batsman and the “Ty CoW.”-
«f tiie Federal League.
While the boy didn’t have chance to
show much of his wares in Chattanooga,,
anybody who is as much of a judge of a
Ballplayer as the average Kentuckian ie
of a horse, can see at a glance that he is
a wonder. He stands at the plate right
and is a natural hitter. He runs beauti
fully and lias the speed of a deer.
1 want to straighten my friends out %
little on this young man, for I’m afraid
already he’9 in bad with the fans. They
think he's tiie most conceited player that
ever lived, but he is not. KaulT has been
the victim of too much press-agenting—
the victim of well-meaning newspaper
friends who have overplayed the pub
licity game.
Kauff, cf course, does not under-esti
mate his own ability. He is a daring
fellow and knows what he can do, but
you «tn truthfully sav he is modest.
Down at the Giants’ Training Camp,
lit Marlin. Texas, Kauflf was introduced
to Larry Dovle, Captain of the Giants,,
and leading batsman of the National
League last year.
‘’Benny, said the introducer, “this is
lairry Doyle, leading National League
batsman last year.”
“Well, I can hit some, mvself,” said
Banff.
Now I admit that sounds bad in print,
but the laws w'lo overheard this sav it
didn’t sound bad at all. It was lust
good nadured kidding.
It s the same way with other remarks
quoted from him. Kauff wants to be ti
kidder, and sometimes the things he sava
sound ail right until they get In print.
I know, personally, that McGraw i 9
counting for much from him this year.
He’s made friends with the other players
on the club and that helps n youne
player a lot. * <
