Federal Inquiry or Railroad Strike? Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen cirr nnn mA m^° SC ° n l^C countr y 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 The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: Our conferences hive demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or tiie other of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways is in a position to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests 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 lust and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises t at we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose or the questions involved; or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law” (The Newlands Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New r r^ Un ? I*ls, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration 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. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: r N U o, d* r Wl, k * UCh r intim,,e ploye* as wages; and the money to pay increased wages of railroad condition* has .uch an unquestioned posi- can come from no other source than the rate* paid tion in the public confidence. by the public.

T^ e ** n^e issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
