RAILROAD WAGES Shall they be determined by 1 Industrial Warfare or Federal Inquiry? To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or industrial warfare? The train employes on all tne railroads have voted whether they will give their leaders authority. to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. | The railroads are in the public service—your service. This army of employes is in the public service—your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. ; On all the pastern Railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest, and average of all) as shown by the payrolls—- ■ Passenger Freight Yard |j R&nge Average Ranso Average Ransa ; s^» 17 “ ’Ss* 1543 ! ; S- 1831 m 1842 ua 1315 i f"'"" ■ ™ n2B i™ 1109 933 j 1141 133 » 973 1833 1085 • The average yearly wage payments to all Eastern train em- ! ployes (including those who worked only part of the year; as shown by the 1915 payrolls were— Passenger Freight Yard Engineers. . . 7 J .$1796 $1546 $1384 ’ Condßcton 1724 1404 1238 Firemen . . 7 . . . 1033 903 844 Brakemen 1018 858 990 A 100 million dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (less than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per j cent advance in all freight rates. The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tribunal speaking for you. > The railroads have proposed the settlement of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by reference to the Interstate Commerce Commission. This offer has been refused by the employes’ representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Government determine this issue?
