Hea dos Engineers Tells Why
Have Been Called To
Strike
(Continued From Pace 1)
"‘lt is well known and admitted
by all that the railway men were
the last to receive any increase dur
ing the war period. During August,
1919, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers submitted to President
Wilson a statement setting forth
that a decrease in the cost of the
necessities of life was necessary or
an increase in wages was imperative.
“From that time on the question
of wages was discussed on different
occasions and was finally submitted
to the labor board. In July, 1920.
the board handed down a decision
which, based on all the facts, they
declared was just and equitable, and
further stated that their conclusions
were reached after long considera
tion of all the facts as evidenced by
the testimony before that board.
Atterbury Failed.
“Later Mr. Atterbury, of the Penn
sylvania railroad, appeared before
the board and in a spectacular pres
entation demanded an immediate re
duction of the wages of all railroad
employees notwithstanding the car
riers had been granted a material in
crease in freight and passenger rates
in order to meet the increased wages
granted by the board. This was de
nied on technical grounds because the
carriers had not properly created a
dispute in accordance with the trans
portation act.
“The railroads then began to serve
notice on all their employees demand
ing reductions in pay thereby legally
creating a dispute which was referred ,
to the labor board resulting in a 12
per cent reduction as of July 1, 1921.
“To further aggravate the situs
tion, immediately following this
meeting a great number of the rail
roads served notice on their employ
ees that they would revise a schedule
and take from them the rules gov-

Said rules were obtained partly by
i the efforts of the United States board
i of mediation or boards of arbitration,
lof which ‘he neutral members were
appointed by the representatives of
the government. The majority’ of
such rules were the result of nego
tiations across the table with the
■ representatives of the organizations
and the managers of the individual
railroads and acknowledged to be fail
j and equitable.
Conference Arranged.
“ Conference of all general chair
men was arranged to be held in the
month of July in the city of Chicago.
The result of said conference was to
instruct the executives of the organi
zations to meet the executives of the
i railroads some time prior to Septem-
I ber 1, for the purpose of trying to
I bring about an amicable adjustment.
’This was done and a committee of
j railroad executives were met in the
■ East, Southeast and Western terri
tories, their answers all being similar
and denying any kind of conciliatory
measures.
Following the refusal of the ex
jecutives of the railways ' to enter
into any agrement with the execu
tives of the organizations, there was
i nothing left to do but refer the
I matter to a referendum'Vote of all
the workers which were employed
on the railroad and to submit their
| decision in the matter. In October
the representatives of ,the workers
were convened in Chicago and a can
vass of the vote was made which in
dicated that 94 per cent plus were
in favor of withdrawing from the
service. Such a condition was never
known before in the history of rail
road labor and no doubt was caused
| by the arrogant, selfish attitude of
the railroad executives together with
i their declination to Im a party to any
I kind of conciliatory terms.
i “After the vote had 1 ben can
vassed the chairman of the Railroad
Owenr's association was notified by
wire of the result and the request for
a conference committee was made.
The one hundred and fifty railroad
presidents meeting in Chicago named
a committee of five railroad presi
dents to meet the executive officers

VICTIMS OF AIRPLANE
SWING ALL RECOVER
RICHLAND, Oct. 18.—Of the six
who were injured when the aeroplane
swing fell during the Richland fair,
Miss Eleanor Turner was the only
one of whom grave fears were held
of her recovery. It was that that
she was seriously injured internally
and plans were made by the fair
management to take her to Columbus
for an examination and x-ray. But
after a week’s confinement she is
able to be up and feel fine. Roy
Downer, whose shoulder was broken
is doing well and the other four in
the accident are entirely well. It was
a miraculous espace for all.
