did the outlook for a bounti

a repetition of last year. The
people of this section have
| worked hard and denied
themselves many things that
they might live and pay their
debts, and now from present
indications it seems that
their efforts are 10 be reward
ed. Let us hope that Provi
dence will smile upon their
efforts and that their labors
will be rewarded by an abun
dant harvest.

Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike?
I*aced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of
$100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads
have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such
a public body.
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
I he formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of
the controversy is as follows:
Our conferences have demonstrated that v»e cannot harmonize our f licences of opinion and that eventually the
matter in controversy must he passed upon by othet and disinterested agencies Therefore we pro,m„e jr
proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one ot the other of the following methods’
1 Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which l.v .eason ot its
accumulated infoimation bearing on railway Conditions and its control of the revenue of the lailwav,, is in j
tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all tiie inteiests affected, and to provide additional revenue
necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be jusi ,,,id
tec-on able; or in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws act in the premises
that "' jointly request Congress to take such action as may be nrceasaiy to enable the Commission to con.idc u„d
promptly dispose ot the questions involved; or
2 By arbitration in accordance with t'/ie provisions of the Federal law” (The Newlands Act).
Leaders Refu.se Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conferenc e held in \ew
York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the isi ue to arlmi.ui.m
or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether
authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
I he Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads .<* [|lC
public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:
No other body with such an intimate knowledge
of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi
tion in the public confidence.
1 he rates the railroads may charge the public for
transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern
ment board.
Out of every dollar received by the railroads from
the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em
ployej as wijjti, and the money to pay increased
can conic from no otlicr source than tin lairs ,(J i
by the public
The Interstate Commerce Comiiin.s'i n with its
trol over rates, is in a position to u.a.'.e a , . tc
investigation and render such decision as «ou|„ ( I,,
tect the interests of tlie railroad etnpluyej, the owiois
of the railroads and the public
A Question For the Public to Decide
I he railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wag prcferme
$100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting
one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a pul In uibunal
shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts
/ he single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to he settle,l
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
