PRESIDENT STUDIES “PENNSY" DISPUTE Seeks Solution of Problems of Railroads, Employes and Labor Board. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. President Harding s watching with mmore than passing interest the new phases gf the controversy which has arisen between the Pennsylvania rallroad and the United States Railroad Labor Board. The President feels that the trans- portation problem is one of the most unportant facing the country today &nd plans to devote an entire speech to it on his western trip. His views on the industrial angle of the rail- road question have undergone no change since his recent address to Congress immediately after the coun- try witnessed the ill-effects of a rall and coal strike. The President is keenly allve to the fact that the insurgency of tho western republi- cans is due in large part to agricul- tural problems, particulariy the out- cfy against high frelght rates. The rallroads have resisted rate de- oreases on the ground that labor costs have been high. Within the last few weeks important wage in- creases have voluntarily been grant- ed by some of the larger railroad systems, in an effort to insure them- selves {ndustrial peace. - The merger cf lines into systems is under consid- | eration by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It's a measure expected to facilitate the interchangg of freight cars, the economical uSe of terminals and the consolidation of facllities. Fear Strike Menace. The menace of the situation alway 1s suspension of service through strikes. The President realizes tha both carriers' and e repre- sentatives have challenged and even ignored decisions of the Railroad Y.abor Board. When Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania rail- road, two days ago declined to ap- pear’ voluntarily as a witness before the Laber Board, he foliowed a prece- dent set by some of the union leaders Just before the shopme: strike be- ®an a year ago. Mr. Rea reversed himselt and decided fo appear as a matter of courtesy to the Labor Board. He disclosed the fact that his original refusal was based on a feel ing that the Pennsylvania had no dis Phte before the board. This position Pows out of a desirc on the part of the Pennsylvania to deal with its own | company organizations. men claim, however, transportat the Labor Board for consideration. It is a fact that any one hundred men, whether they belong to the American Federation of Labor or a company union, or whether they have no or- ganization at all, can petition the Labor Board to hear argument as to the equity of their wage agreements with the railroad by whom they are employed. The Pennsylvar view in court and jns hat the Jurisdiction of the Labor Board does not begin until after conferences are held between the railroad and the workmen. The Pennsylvania, claim- ed. also, that it had a right to deter- mine for itself what representatives of the men it would recognlze Pennsylvania had its own election, in which a minority of workers partici- patec, and went zhcad and made agreements. with the minority. To the argument t a_ minority voted, the answer was made that it ¢ the others to cast r clse they are in the as any man who fails The_ union d that a r san; to vote tlon—he Just the s Demanded Joint Appeal. This phase of the controversy would not have caused so much trouble, however, if the Pennsylvania had not gone a step further and insisted that the Labor Board couldn’t get ju diction over a dispute unless it were jointly submitted by workimen and employers. Obviously the company union, formed more or 1ess under the friendly auspices of the Pennsylvania, is satisfied with the agreements made and has no disp In that sense Mr. Rea's statement that the Penn- sylvania has no dispute with the Brotherhood of Railway and Steam- ship Clerks his viewpol the result, But the Supreme Court of the United States in its re- | deci It cent on does mot uphold that view. ¥s the very opposite and argues that such a would give either side an easy oppor- tunity to defeat the operation of the act and prevent the Labor Board from considering any dispute, the court sal Court Rules Otherwise. “If the board has jurisdiction to bear representatives of the employes, it must of necessity have the power to_determine who are proper_repre- séntatives of the employes. That is a condition precedent to its effective | exercise of jurisdiction at all. This maust include the authority to deter- mine who are proper representatives of the employes and to make reason- able rules for ascertaining the of the employ in the matter. The Labor Board must now find out whether Mr. Rea's organization of emploves representS a majority of the workers. A speclal balloting process will have to be devised. There is no legal power to compel the Pennsylvania to agree to the deci- «ions of the Labor Board. The trans- portation act is as weak in that re- spect as it is in compelling the em- ployes to obey. Mr. Harding’s last utterafee in this connection was: “‘Public interest demands that ample ower shall be conferred on the labor ibunal whether it is the present ard or the suggested substitutes, to quire its rulings to be accepted by _partles to the disputed ques- That's the trend of the President’s d and it will be the guiding prin- le in his handling of the problem tMs summer and before the next ses- sidn of Congress.
