HE public group on the railroad labor board has made a sound and reasonable suggestion as a basis for preventing the threatened railroad strike. It is that the railroads immediately reduce their freight and passenger rates so as to give the public the benefit of the wage cut of 12 per cent ordered by the railroad labor board in July; that the railroads after the re- duced rates are in affect file with the labor board a pro- ceeding for further reduction in wages, if they believe that reduction of cost of living and other factors de- termining fair wages would justify such action. If the railroads will do this the unions should sus- pend their strike order until the decision of ihe wage reducton bg = application for further wage made. The course decided above is consistent with law, with fairness and the public interest. A state of war in- stead of co-operation exists and has existed for a long time between the sailroad managers and the labor unions. That this state of war existed is due, I believe, to the bourbon attitude of a few executives of powerful railroads who have been able to control the action of the executives as a whole. These men are obsessed with the idea that it is their duty both to their prop- erties and to the country to break down labor or- ganizations. ee URSUANT to! this pee sion, these executives have taken such action as to convince the labor leaders that unless they resist now there is grave danger that their organizations will be destroyed. The action of the executives in February in asking the labor board to arbitrarily reduce wages without warrant of law, the Pennsylvania railroad’s disregard of the decision of the labor board concerning the method of negotiating new railroad rules, of the Erie, the St. Louis & South- western and other railroads in arbitrarily disobeying the law in reducing wages, are among the unlawful and bolshevistic acts which have given the labor lead- ers reason to believe the railroad managers will not proceed in a fair and lawful manner. The public should make every effort to sustain the transportation act and the powers of the labor board. It should bring such pressure on the Pennsylvania rail- road and other railroads which have violated the act as to compel them to obey it. If the railroads will obey the decisions of the board, the employes will also obey them. Railroad executives should be brought to see it is to their interests as well as the public’s to adopt a satiny of co-operation instead of war. This is yet possible. Many railroad managers have accomplished it, but they have not been able to control the bourbons among them. The president, the secretary of commerce and the attorney general could, by securing conference with both the bourbon and liberal railroad executives, bring about a full compliance with the law by the railroads. The labor organizations would then withdraw their strike order and await the processes of the railroad labor board. Large economies are still possible in railroad essai ment. The greatest economy would be the substitution of co-operation for war. EXPERT RIDES UPON CARS; TO TELL WHAT “PETE If you were waiting for a car at ave, and Yesler way about pert.

These congressmen are seeking evidence to support thelr with the idea cf making the charges on the floor. The government already hag decided it will not be coerced or bull- dozed by either side, it was learned on high authority, The railroad executives were informed about 10 days ago by members of the senate interstate commerce committee that the provision giving them the right to sue for inefficiency of labor during the war would be put in the railroad refunding bill by the senate. A few days they met in Chicago and, in the face of the big strike vote against a previous wage cut, gave notice they would ask for further reductions. In Cleveland, union leaders were quoted as saying they believed gev- | ernment seizure of the railroads was the only solution of the present difficulty. BY HAROLD D.
