New York, Aug. 14.—The crisis in the railroad situation reached in this city on June 15, last, when the conference between the representatives of 235 rairoad systems in the United States apd 400,000 employes failed to arrive at an adjustment of their differences. The conference began June 1 fol- lowing the presentation on March 30 of demands by the men for an eizht= hour day and time and a half overtime. It had been hoped that the con- ference might make unnecessary the taking of a strike vote by referring the qusetions at issue to arbitration. After hearing the demands of tne unions, however, the railroads de- clined to make a counter proposal and dismissed the subject by offering to further discuss a ‘“tentative proposi- tion” which granted the men's eight: hour demand but refused all others. | The unions declined to consider the “tentative” offer and the railroads them| suggested placing their differences be- fore the Inter-State Commerce Com- mission for decision, or if that bodv was without authority, that both sides join in petitioning Congress to granti the necessary power. If this proved unsatisfactory to the unons the rail- roads suggested arbitration under the Newlands Act. @ o i 2 A The men rejected the two propo- sitions. Their spokesman, A. B. Gar- retson, president of the Order of Rail- way Conductors, in an impassioned speech said that the men would never consent to arbitration because of the failure of the unions to obtain justice in prior disputes through that method.) The leaders of the four unions, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, the Brotherhood of Rallroad Trainmen, and the Order of' Railway Conductors, upon withdraw-| ing from the conference lost no time in drafting the strike ballot and in order to expedite the vote caused their dls- tribution throughout the country by the 600 union delegates that had also attended the conference. It was pointed out at that time by the Brotherhoods’ leaders that a vote ordering a general strike did nto nec- essarily mean immediate institution of the strile. It was explained that the strike order would not be issued until every effort looking toward an amic- able settlement had been exhaust In statements issued by the railroa heads, following the break-up of the conference it was held that the eight- hour day demanded by the men did not actually mean a shorter workday but rather an increase of 25 per cent over existing wages for the same amount of work, and an increase in many cases of 87 1-2 per cent for ove: time compared with present rate The demands pertain only to freight| and not to passenger service. | The railroads maintained that to allow the increased would add$100,000,- 000 a year to the operating expenses cf all roads in the United States, “for, the benefit of men whose average pay per day was increased from 30 to 42 per cent from 1903 to 1914, while! wages of the western engineers were| further increased in 1915. i ‘The men’s proposition submitted at the conference provided that 100 miles| or less, or eight hours or less should| constitute a day, with overtime be-! ginning at the expiration of eight! hours on runs of less than 100 miles, and as soon as 100 miles had been| run on longer trips, overtime be com-| puted at one and one-half times the pro-rata rate, no one to receive less than they previously recelved for a minimum day. The men were to ba| guaranteed the right to retain any rates of pay or schedules in effec: January 1, 1816, which would be pre-| forable to the new schedule. The roads contended that the men made no allowance for the difference| between railroad and industrial ser-| vicé, Tl pointed out that railroad; engifiémen or trainmen are guarantecd! payment for a full day no matter how few hours they work and receive pay for more than a full day if they worle more than either the established miles or hours. In other lines of industry,| the railroads held, the employes do not! receive a day's pay for less than a' day’s work, and ordinarily he canmot earn more than a day's pay for less than a day’s work without working more than the regular number of hours. :
