NEW YORK, December 16.—The wisdom with which the question of organized labor is solved in America will spell the survival or downfall of the republic, Ben W. Hooper, former Governor of Tennessee and vice chairman of the United States Rail- road Labor Board, declared last night, adding that organized railroad labor and railroad capital has a “public | trust” to perform in rendering efi- | clent and uninterrupted railway service to the people of the United States Speaking at the annual dinner of the New York Railroad Club, at which six other members of the labor board were also guests, Mr. Hooper said the price of a rail strike last fall would have “staggered the nation.” Railroad labor, he said, has no right “morally, at least, to tie up the rail- roads and destroy the property, busi- Problem on How to Deal. But this moral obligation does not railroads should be stamped out, the former governor said. The problem in this country, he added, is “How to deal with just demands fairly and humanely, and how to curb unjust demands and control such activities as threaten public welfare- “The right of labor to organize is based on sound principles, recognized by Congress and sanctioned by the courts of the land,” Mr. Hooper said. “I am profoundly awed when I con- template the possibilities for evil. If organized labor is to be permitted to throttle individuality, destroy initia- tive, exalt inefficiency, dominate man- agement, limit production, ignore the rights of the public and set up a class government. then, indeed, is this coun- try headed for bolshevism and death. “All of these things are the pos- sible, but not the inevitable, results of organized labor. ‘Will Constitute Bulwark. “On the other hand, if organized la« bor confines its efforts to the legiti- mate advancement of the cause of the just and reasonable wage, the estab- lishment of desirable working rules and conditions, the maintenance of an increasingly good standard of liv- ing and the preservation of the po- litical and civil rights of labor, then will organized labor not only serve its own Interests, but it will constitute one of the bulwarks of the American republic. “In my judgment, the survival of this republic depends upon the wis- dom with which this question is han- dled.” Mr. Hooper asserted that if the rafl- road brotherhoods had been crushed in a strike, other organizations would have sprung up in their stead “and probably would not have been ani- mated by motives half so conserva- tive and patriotic as those which con- trol the brotherhoods. Explains Negotiations. “A _few sophisticated and hard- boiled individuals never could believe that I did not promise the brother- hood officers, when addressing them, to take something away from the carriers and give it to them, yet this was literally true,” the commissioner said. “The memorandum adopted by the board, which finally averted the strike merely called attention to the fact that it was premature to start a row about another reduction in wages, because the board did not propose to readjust the wages of any class of labor until the rules and working conditions of that particular class had been passed on.” E The fixing of railroad wages, Mr. Hooper said, should recognize a living wage that means something more than bare existence and also that there is a limit to the ability of a carrier to pay—“that there is mno miraculous fountain of inexhaustible gold flowing into the coffers of a rail- road.” Cakes and enjoy real rich, ~ Uncle Sam’s 1 i U, FRIDAY, DECEMBEE, 16, 191" Favorite “Home Paper” fe Zoening Sfar—The Swnday Fhae The mission of a great newspaper is'two fold—to inform and to entertain.
