Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?’
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costa of
$100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that thi9 wage problem be settled by
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroad*
have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such
a public body.
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of
the controversy is as follows:
"Our conference Have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our difference of opinion and that eventually
matters in controversy must be 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:

Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
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
or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether
authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
The Interstate Commerce Com,mission is proposed by the railroads as the
public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:
No other body with such an intimate knowl-idge
of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi
tion in the public confidence.
The rates the railroads may charge the public for
transportation are now largely fixed,by this Govern
ment board.

The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
