MILWAY CHAOS IF WAGES ARE SLICED mployes’ Representative Warns A gainst This Action at Present PR Chicago May —Arguments inst the wage reduction proposals \bmitted to the rallway labor board rallway exccutives were summed ) today by B. M. Jewell, president the Rallway Employes’ depart- ent of the American Federatjon of abor, Ho declared that for the vard to order a wage reduction now ould only bring the dispute over bw national working agreements ick before the board for determin- fon “In & controversy of redoubled erness and we should have a con- tion to utter chmos in the trans- sriation industry.” | Negotiations w in progress on w working agreements to take the lace of those recently set aside by lhe board ‘‘could never rvesult in an ment before the day of Jjudg- |"' Mr. Jewell declared, if new # schedules are established now Wl attempts are made to negotiate o nmew agreements on the basis of reduced wage. , “We submit,” Mr. Jewell said, “that e board cannot make an intelligent nd fair decision as to wage rates xcopt it re-affirms the prevalling ates, until the new agreements have een fixed and promulgated. “Neither carriers nor employes can now what wage schedules mean or mount to until they know the rules \ which those schedules are to be \ pplied. Wo must have our yardstick hefore wo can measure our cloth. panifestly rail workers cannot be ex- pectod or asked to accept a wage chedule when they have no oans of knowing exactly how much y are to recelve under that Chedule. “If the raliroad managements are ot utterly blind to their own selfish nterests they will join me in request- ng the board to withhold its decision n the matter until we have the new greements. The delay will not be o than the carriers themselves it. have shown there is no econ- mio justification for a reduction in ho wages of railroad workers. We ave shown that there have been no reductions in the basic indus- les that are comparable with the ransportation industry and ‘have emonstrated that the changes in the ost of living have not been sufficient o warrant a change in the schedules xed by the board in July, 1920. “The rallroads, on the other hand WAave proved only that they are in nancial straits. Thanks to the othods of the financial buccaneers ho have always controlled them, hey were hard up when the govern- Inent took them over during the war, hey were hard up when they were eturned to their former manag ent, and they are hard up today ospite the fact that they have re- eived more than a billion and a halt ollars from the treasury o fan over- jgenerous people, and that they have been given rate increases sufficient to wover everything except their own . And they will be hard up y are made the servants of ‘the public Instead of the playthings of Wall street. Y The ability and inabllity of the fers to pay the present wage rates no bearing on this case and can have no consideration in its determin- ation, but raliroad management has made so much of this phase of the transportation problem and the pub- lie has been permitted to hear =o little eise that we cannot ignore the usue, \ “Justice to ralway employes, to the carriers and the public is not con- tingent upon the abllity of the car- riers to pay their labor costs, and a return to normaley in industry and commerce does not wait upon a re- duction in wage schedules. “The real issue in this case is the wages of man versus the wages of money; and the time has come for the people of this country to know and understand that the wages of men will never go back to pre-war poverty levels. “It is time for those who do not toll with their hands to understand and accept the principle of the living wage and to realize that the human factor in industry is the predominant vital force in the modern clvilized rid. ‘Therefore we on rest our case se- e in the belief that the rank and file of railroad workers whom we represent cannot and will not be de- prived of any measure of the econom- je rights which are theirs because they have earned them and because they desarve them.™ Rash On Limbs Itched Intensely Cuticura Heals *“My trouble began with a breaking out like eczema on both limbe.
