Fodsrci Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakcnifll
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation cpit| •!
$100,000,000 a year, the railr 1 ids propose that this wage problem be settled ky
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
t ^ iesc employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroad!
have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided juttly by tuck
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:
Ou, conferences h*vt demonstrated that we cannot harmo-ure out difference* of opinion and that eventually tbt
matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your
proposals and (he proposition of the railways be disposed of b, onr or t! e other of the following method*:
1. w. Preferably • by submission "UU..I.JMWU to w the ure Interstate Goromcrcf Commerce GomimsMon, Commission, tnc the only only tribunal tribunal which, which, by br ret reason tor of its

in caj»e you’ are to and
reasonable, or. in the event the Interstate Commerce Comm «vor» cannot, under existing laws, act in tha •remises
that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commtasion to consider tai
promptly dispose of the questions involved; or
1. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law” (The Newlanda Act).
Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the 1 rain servic e brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New
York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroai.? 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 Commission is proposed by the railroads at the
public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:
No other body with such an intimate know! tdge ployes as wages; and the money to pay increased wage*

Out of dollar received b) the railroads investigation and render such decision as would pro¬
every Irom tect the interests of the railroad employes, the Owncn
the public nearly one.half is paid directly to the em¬ of the railroads, and the public.
A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment ot
$100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only
one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that
shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by SM
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare
