S —— e —— The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company of Indiana _The Chesapeake and Ohio Northern Railway Company " OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT An outstanding feature of the Transportation Act is that the railroads must be operated honestly and efficiently, IMQ it is enjoined upon the Interstate Commerce Commission the, setting up of a system of rates which, if in the judgment of the Interstate Commerce Commission is justified by develop- ments, will insure until March, 1822, not less than 5% % upoa| the valuation of the properties of the railroads, to be ascer-' tained by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and it the Commission deems it necessary, it is to allow an 3 one-half of one per cent to provide for additions and better- ments to be used in the service of the public, being a total of:' 6% but as a condition precedent honest and efficient opera-| tion must be had according to the law. There is no guaran- tee in this in any sense. The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion is only te attempt to bring about such a percentage re- ceipt. If they try honestly and fail because of business con- ditions changing, that is all that is necessary on their part. Nobody has to make good any deficiencies to the railroads. Insofar as this Company is concerned it has fallen far short of earning 6% since the law went into effect, which was Sep- tember 1st, 1920, as to this particular provision. Honest and “ Richmond, Va., October. 25, 1921. To the Employes of The Chesapeake and Ohio Raflway: The difly press contains the information that certain classes of otr employes bave determined to strike at some {date in the very near future. The Company’s officers have ‘received no notice from the employes affected. Such a method is 80 entirely unusual and contrary to the customs and prac- | tices hitherto prevailing that we find it hard to credit the in- formation, yet it seems to be 80 authoritatively and openly and plainly discussed by the labor leaders that there is little room for doubt that such an intention exists on the part of those. directing the plams. ° i ~The beginning of the chapter of events now culminating dates to. the period priorsfo February 26th, 1020, when Gov- ernment. control of the safiroad properties ceased. At that time it will be remembered there was a request for an increase in wages pending before the Railroad Administration, which it declined, however, to grant, because it felt in that instance it should not make an increase in wages which would affect Tint of Youth.

Olive Teb .‘"ol' " Uteatd | 1920. The Labor Board announced at that time that working 1s¢t;3931; In its application for a decrease in wages the Com- efficient operation demands that we pay only such wages as are justified by the conditions. If the conditions require a: change in wages it must be made by the railroads, just as has been made in other industries, but such change can only be made after full and complete investigation by the United States Labor Board. Surely the men have their protection against aggression such as they may fear by these provisions of the law. If the men deem it reasonable and fair that they should receive an increase in wages in the future, the same law protects them in obtaining what is due them, as evidenced in the case of Decision No. 2, issued July, 1920. * Persistent effort has recently been made on the part of shippers ‘and others to bring about a reduction in freight rates. The railroads have canvassed this situation and de- termined conclusively themselves that such reduction can only come from reduction in expenses. Any other method can only produce disastrous results insofar as most railroads are con- cerned, which results will also be disastrous to the employes of the railroads. The stock argument is that the volume of business will be so increased by the lowering of rates that the relief for the roads will come from such increased business. The railroads are convinced, after exhaustive investigation, that the volume cannot so increase, because the present situa- tion is the result of readjustment due to the war and repre- sents lessening in business caused by that readjustment, and not by freight rates. Surely the railroads could be expected to take the action of lowering freight rates if they felt that such additional business could be so prodvced, as it would be a good business proposition to do so. This does not mean that no rates should be lowered; on the contrary, there have been many rates lowered, and there will be more as time goes on which it will be found necessary to lower on account of their effect in stagnating business, but they must all be in- vestigated and assurance had that they are really necessary and advisable and will produce the desired results. This is all put before you so that you may realize, first, the persistent effort that is being made to reduce freight rates; and, second, that you may understand that the principal way to obtain the low rates that the people demand is by reducing our expenses, and the wage part of our expenses can only be reduced after orderly procedure before the constituted body. Surely you are protected in this. I am sure the facts stated herein are true and the opin- fons given are based on my best knowledge and belief, If this- 18 80, it would seem that they show good reasons on your part before taking the important step of severing on with the Company, which a- entails. I tion because of its possible interference with plans which I have formed looking towards mutual benefit, to be brought about by a closer affiliation between you and your Company, which I had expected to base upon a strong foundation of mutual confidence and esteem. I believe that the future of the railroads lies in this closer union between employe and employer, and I had confidently counted upon achieving re- sults in every way @isproportionate to the effort required to produce such a desirable status. I ask you, therefore, to se- riously ponder over the situation and weigh well your action ‘When you have so considered the future of the properties after Government contrcl had ex- pired. The Transportation Act provided for a method of bandling such disputes and these provisions of the act were immediately invoked in behalf of the men affected. Hearings were held ard on July 20th, 1920, certain increases in wages, amounting to about 22 %, were allowed, retroactive to May 1st, conditions-would be taken up later. Effective August 26th, 1920, the Interstate Commerce Commission made increases in the rates of the rallroads for the purpose of complying with the requirements of the Trans- portation Act. The increased wages granted on July 20th were taken into consideration in arriving at these rates. The Interstate. Commerce Commission made an earnest effort to reach a fair and proper conclusion as to the increases thus granted and if the volume of business had been maintained, their calculations wauld undoubtedly have materialized. Be- ing with January, 1921, however, the revenues of this _rallroad precipitately declined, 8o much so that the Chesa- and Ohio Railway did not earn its operating expenses February. In this state of affairs, which seemed to bid fair to be permanent, the Company was compelled to take some action to meet the situation. It was shown by statistics from relisible sources, othen than railroad, that the increase in cost of living since the pre-war period had been about seventy- five per cent, whereas the increase in wages was one hundred and twenty-seven per cent during the same period. It seemed, - therefore, that employes” wages should in fairness come down to in ‘some measure meet the situation above referred to. As eeting the situstion the Company’s forte of a reduction in wages was then presen method to the United States Rall- 3 that a strike will be called. ‘the position of. this railroad itis ng out the-decision of the Labor Board pany asked for the total abrogation ot Decision No. 2, effec- tive May 1st, 1920, but the Labor Board saw fit to grant only a little more than half that amount, which, however, the Com- accepted in faith. In this state of affairs it will be observed that the em- against a set-of wages autho- . Authority enjoy. In answer to this it needs only to show that the rail- roads under the present.form of labor control cannot do any- E of the kind until the has request
