RAILS AND LABOR
FINISH GASES IN
DISPUTE ON PAY
‘Special Board Must Submit Recommendations to FDR By Oct. 27.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 (U. P.).—
Counsel for railway management
and labor today debated possible effects on the national economy of the carriers’ proposed 15 per cent wage cut in final arguments before President Roosevelt’s Emergency Fact Finding Board, which seeks to avert a nation-wide strike over the pay dispute. J. Carter Fort and Sidney S. Alderman, attorneys for the Carriers Joint Conference Committee, asserted the -rail industry was facing collapse because of inadequate revenues and excessive operating expenses. They declared that the wage reduction for more than 900,000 men was essential.
Charles M. Hay, attorney for railway labor, asserted that a cut would be “grossly unjust to workers” and predicted that it would be followed by pay slashes in other industries, thus retarding general recovery.
Each Side Gets 3 Hours
Each side was allotted three hours of final argument prior the Board, headed by Chief Justice Walter P. Stacey of North Carolina, taking the case under advisement. It must submit recommendations to Mr. Roosevelt by Oct. 27, but its report is not binding on either side. Roy T. Miller, former Mayor of Cleveland, argued for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and Tom Davis of Minneapolis, presented the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen’s case. In a 167-page brief, the railroads charged Senator Wheeler (D. Mont.), chairman of the Senate Rail Finance Investigating Committee with a “last minute error to ‘smear’ the entire industry on the basis of certain isolated charges » They said that this was “an attempt to deny the carriers in this controversy the fundamental requirements of due process and the fundamental right of fair play.” Mr. Wheeler declared that the railroads were wasting more money unnecessarily than would be saved by the proposed $250,000,000 pay cut:
Claims Excessive Wages
Mr. Alderman told the board it should not concern itself with minimum pay conditions in the railroad industry since Congress had intrusted this problem to the Wage-Hour Administration, which will require the railroads to pay all employees 25 cents an ‘ hour after Oct. 24. “The present excessive wage rates in the industry have ‘brought the industry to a position where it cannot open the doors of its purchasing houses, cannot buy the necessary materials, and continue the necessary maintenance work on its properties,” the railroad brief said.
Stating that labor stands unalterably opposed to the wage cut, Mr. Hay gave as its reasons:
1. It would be grossly unjust to the workers, forcing them to lower their standard of living.
2. It would reduce wages “below a fair measure of the value of the service rendered.” 3. It would harm the railroad industry itself, by leading to wage cuts in other industries and ultimate reduction of revenues.
Abuses Charged
4. Wages are not the source of the industry's problems but that of only * “the 9 per cent” of roads “trying to keep out of bankruptcy.”
5. It would deter the correction of “shocking abuses, wastes and extravagances” in the industry. 6. It would be inconsistent with “our present national, social, industrial and Governmental policy. 7. It would interfere with the working out of a comprehensive national transportation program. 8. Now is the-time for management and men to move forward intelligently and aggressively to work out a policy through the cooperation and aid of the Government.

The Children’s Bureau has estimated that more than 100,000 children under 18 are engaged in dangerous occupations, chiefly in factories. The wages of minors who are eligible to work are subject to the same 25-cents-an-hour and 44-hours-a-week standards as adults, except where Wage-Hour Administrator Elmer F. Andrews grants exceptions to the minimum wage. The first hearing looking to such an exception is scheduled in New York City Thursday. This will deal with Western Union’s application for permission to pay messengers less than a quarter an hour. Although child labor has been
