To My Friends and Co-workers in the B. R. T. System: Within « week « handful of men from other cities have injected themselves inte the trenaperte- tien eltuation on some of the lines in Greater New York and threaten, if they cannet rule, to stop the eparation of every car in the comnnunity. ‘They include Brooklyn in thelr boastful plane ‘The remarkable thing about this demonstration ie that it ie aimed not only et come emall com panies where possible differences existed as to conditions of employment, but et companies whose man ceumed generally satisfied with conditions and have presented no grievances, The declared purpose of the agitators relates only incidentally to wages or houre—demande ee to these would appar- ently be waived if the companies would concede the right of the outsiders to apeak for the companies’ men, To accomplish their purpose they would deprive between five end six million people of trane- portation facilities, and inflict an irreparable lose and injury upon the business of New York. Can we for a moment, cither as employes charged with a public duty, or as joint workers in « great industry, entrust our interests to these men? What is their character or their record of practical philanthropy which would justify us in expecting that they can do better for us than we ean de for cureslvés? Will the public be better served by their participation in our operations? For myself there is only one answer to these questions. For more than twenty-one years my heart and energy have been absorbed in the progress of our railroad system and its workers, I have looked upon a public service corporation not as a cold creation of statute, but as a partnership of brains, meney and muscle for public good. | have regarded directors, officers and men as a democracy of workere— trustees, to be sure, for those whose savings have made possible our railroads and fer the public whem we serve, but also guardians of each other's welfare and sharers in the prosperity which our labors produce. My chief ambitidh has been to sce the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in these respects a model corporation. In attaining this ideal there is no dissenting voice in our organi- tation, but full, earnest and united co-operation from every ditector, every officer, every head of de- partment, and, I believe, from every other employe. Much has been accomplished, but much more remains to be done. What has been done could not have been attained without mutual confidence in intention and fellowship in performance. Can there be either confidence or fellowship under conditions which disturbers of an industrial peace now seek to impose upon us?—e condition either of armed neutrality or of war between officers and men,—no direct relation bute bartier of suspicion and the cold atmosphere of bargain. I have no reason to believe that any of my co-workers looks with favor upon this outside agi- tation and wishes it to extend to Brooklyn. On the contrary there seems to be every evidence that the vast majority of them regard it with disfavor and will not be parties to destroying the relations which now exist, or to inconveniencing the public by severing their connection with the company on such an issue. The company will not compromise or sacrifice what it believes to be the interests of ite men by dealing with these outsiders. It will protect its workers in the discharge of their duties. It will continue to encourage faithful service. It will to the extent of its ability, not only as a matter of wise corporate policy but as a matter of justice, continue to conform working conditions and com- perisation to the reasonable satisfaction of its men. It would be a calamity to them and a blow to jndustrial co-operation and progress if the relations which we have joined in establishing should now be broken. It has not required the assigtance or advice of outsiders to bting about three increases in wages during the last four years. It has not required such help to establish pensions, sick benefite, life insurance, medical attendance, good fellowship and the principle of reward for merit. These activities of the company have no flavor of chatity. They are desirable for the interest of the steck- holders and they are a necessity of justice to our men. They are your creation more than that of the company. They are shaped to appeal to self-reliance and manly effort—not to dependence and weak- nese, You whose service has been long enough to experience their advantages know whether you will lightly give them up, or whether, measured by their steady enlargement and the evidence of sincerity behind them, they could be expected to continue and grow under the less favorable conditions of em- ployment which others are seeking to foist upon you. 1 am under no delusion that every worker in our ranks finds conditions just as he would like them. Ido not for one. There are necessary limitations to complete satisfaction in any occupation. We have ours—particularly just now that we have joined with the city in a vast enlargement of trans portation facilities which will for some time be a burden upon our resources as well as upon the taz- payers. But the ultimate result ought to be helpful to all, and our opporturtity for usefulness te the public and our ability for advancing the standards of employment ought to increase. I write this letter to those who work with me for this system so that you may know frankly how I regard this foreign attack upon our relations and our aims, I write it alto because I want your help in correcting, if possible, any state of things which produces discontent. Since this outside agi- tation began I have received letters from only four men out of out ten thousand transportation employes, by way of criticism or suggestion, and these may not have been written by our men, because no names were signed. My associate officers say they have received none, I therefore ash that any employe who knows of arly general or particular grievance, or who has any suggestion to make for the better ment of conditions, or of service, will write directly to me over his sigriatute, and I assure hien that hie statements and suggestions will receive very careful consideration from myself and from heads of departments, and that if reported grievances are found to exist and can be corrected the disposition is here to correct them. In this way | can keep in closer touch with matters which affect our jeint interest and be of greater service both to you and to the public. I sincerely hope that you will thus ii he Sees 30 Yours very truly, T. S. WILLIAMS, August 3, 1916, Preidem.
