Experienced AdvertisersPrefer TheStar RAIL LABOR HEADS END SESSION HERE Leaders Appeal to President to Aid Refusal of New Wage Cut. On record with a militant policy in opposition to the 20 per cent wage cut proposed by the carriers, the heads of organized railway labor today had con- cluded their three-day session here 1 which was climaxed yesterday with a direct appeal to the White House to cut off the credit the railroads have been receiving through the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation if they per- sist in their efforts to reduce pay. Meanwhile, in New York, the Times stated today that a meeting of rail- road presidents would be held there October 6 to outline a policy in the move for a 20 per cent wage reduction in the light of the union's refusal to negotiate on the subject. The posting of notices for the wage cut will be postponed until then, it was said. Appeal to President. Representing some 1,700,000 workers in 21 unions, the leaders who make up the Railway Labor Executives’ Associa- tion, took their cause to the President [ yesterday. \ Visioning & turn for the better in gen- | eral economic conditions, the labor men, | in a statement read by their chairman, { A F. Whitney, declared “cvery effort to reduce wages, thereby further reducing power, will retard the forces | purchasi | | of recove: “We desire to suggest,” the statement s “that when the Government is| called upon to lend public money jto the railroads, the Government can at the same time properly insist that the railroads shall refrain from starting or from joining in any sulcidal program to reduce wages and to curtail services and thereby to nullify the efforts of the Government to promote economic recovery.” Further, the labor leaders said: “We submit that if the public credit can be properly devoted to the protec- , tion of private investments in a public service enterprise, fn order that its | service to the public may not be im- paired, then the same protection should be extended to the human beings whose labor is essential to the public service, for the same reason, and for the addi- | tional reason that the very existence of a Government depends upon preserv- ing for its citizenship ample oppor- | tunities to earn a livelihood.” Agreement Ends January 31. | 'The labor leaders did not indicate { what the President’s reaction was. A 10 per cent wage cut agreement | expires January 31, and Wednesday the | unions rejected overtures from repre- | sentatives of the carriers for conversa- | tions looking toward renewal of the | pact, with the cut doubled. The work- |ers said the previous cut had given | them no aid at all in spreading em- ployment. Under existing conditions the carriers may within the next few weeks seek an adjustment through the Federal Board of Mediation. This would be the first time in the half dozen vears of its existence the services of the board ihas been invoked on a Nation-wide | scale affecting all classes of workers. Where mediation fails and arbitra- tion is not resorted to the President is empowered to form an emergency Abo«rd to go into the matter. Decision Is Binding. ‘This board makes its report within 30 days, and for a like time thereafter, both parties to the controversy are ob- ligated to maintain the status quo ex- cept by mutual agreement. This is de- signed as a “cooling off” period. Arbitration can be only by mutual consent, and the result is made bind- ing by law, the decision reached being entered as a Federal court order. The railway situation was expected today to receive the attention of the board of directors of the Chamber of Contmerce of the United States. The labor leaders yesterday added another name to the list of senatorial candidates whom they. indorsed while here, Senator Steiwer, Republican. of Oregon, who seeks re-election, getting their support. Candidates favorable to the labor cause are backed, irrespec- tive of party. RENEW MERGER TALKS Four Eastern Trunk Lines Resume Par- ley in New York.
