OF THE. PUBLIC:
77w Railrodda’ statement cf their posir
tion on the th reatencd strike, as presented
to the President of the United States
A strike on all the railroads of the country has been called by the Train
Brotherhoods for 7 o’clock Monday morning, September 4.
This strike was ordered from Washington while the President of the
United States was making every effort to avert the disaster.
The Final Railroad Proposal
The final proposal made by the railroads for a peaceful settlement of the con-
troversy, but which was rejected by the brotherhoods, was as follows:
(C) The railroads will, effective September 1, 1916,
hep the time of all men represented in this movement,
upon an 8 hour basis and by separate account, monthly,
with each man, maintain a record of the difference
between the money actually earned by him on the
present basis and the amount that would have bccn'
earned upon an 8 hour basis—overtime on each basis
to be computed pro rata.
The amounts so shown will be sufiect to the
decision of the Commission, provided form Paragraph
(c) of this memorandum and pay able in monty, as
may be directed by said Commission in its findings and
decision.
(b) The Interstate Commerce Commission to
supervise the keeping of these accounts and‘report the
inueascd costof the 8 hour basis, after such period of
actual experience as their judgment approvtx or the
Presrtlent may fix, not, however, less than three
months. .
(c) In view of the fur-Touching consequences of the
declaration made by the President, accepting the
8 hour day, not only upon the railroads and the classes
of labor im olved directly in this controv crsv. but to
the public and upon all industry, it warns plain that
before the existing conditions are changed. the whole
subject in so far as it affects thersilrosdsasdtbeir
employees, should be inveatigated and determined by
a Conniasion he be appointed by the President. 11
such standing as to compel attention and respect to
its findings. The judgment of such a Commission ,
would be a helpful basis for adjustments with labor
and such legislation as intelligent public opinion, so
informed, might demand.
Statement of Executives to the President.
In submitting this proposal to the President, the fifty railroad executives called to
Washington and representing all the great arteries of traffic, made this statement to
him of their convictions:
The demands in this controversy have not been
presented, in our judgment, for the purpose of fixing a
definite duilv mriod of labor, nor a reduction in the
existing hours of labor or change in methods of opera-
tion. but for the real purpose of accomplishing an
increase in wages of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per annum. or 3 5 per cent for the men
in railroad freight train . n l vurd serv ice represented
by tho labor organizations in this matter.
After careful examination (1' the facts and patient
and continuous consultation with the Conference
Committee of Managers, and among ourselves, we
havc rcachcd a clcur understanding of the magnitude
of the questions. and of the serious consequences to
the railroads and to the public, 1111011 ed in the decision
of them.
Trustees for the Public
As trustees for thc public sen cd by our lines and
for the great mass of the less p011 crful employ 003 (not
lacs th.m 80 per c.cnt of the whole number) interested
in the railroad wage fund—as trustees also for the
millions of people that but c invcstcd their sav lugs and
capital in the bonds and stock of these pro'uritcs
and who through the suvmg banks, trust companics
and insurnncc c1 illlp'llLtN arc. vitally llllC‘l‘CSlttl to the
extent of millions of dollars, in the integritv and
solvency of the r: 1ilmads 0f the country we cannot In
conscience aurrcnderwithout a hearing, the principle
inVolved, nor undertake to tr msfcr the enormous cost
that will result to the transportation of the commerce
of the country.
The eightohour day without punitive, overtime
involves an annual increase, approximately, in the
aggregate of Si\tv Millions of Doll.1rs,and 1m incrc1se
of more than no per cent. in the pay of the men,
already the most highly paid in the transportation
service.
The ultimate cost to the railroads of an admission
in this manner of the principle under contention
cannot now be estimated; the effect upon the effi-
ciency of the transportation of the country now
already under severe test under the tide of business
now moving, and at a time. when more, instead of less,
effort is required for the public welfare, would be
harmful beyond calculation.
The widespread effect upon the industries of the
country as a whole is beyond mm or appraise-
ment at this time, and we agree on th the insistent and
Widespread public concern over the gravity of the
situation and the consequences of a surrender by the
railroads in this emergency.
In like manner we are deeply impressed with the
sense of our responsibility to maintain and keep open
the arteries of transportation. which carry the life
blood of the commerce of the country, and of the
consequences that will flow from even tcmporary
interruption of service over the railroads. but the
issues presented have been raised above and beyond
the social and monetary questions involved, and
the responsibility for the consequences that may
arise will rest. upon those that provoke it.
Public Investigation Urged
The questions involved are in our respectful judg-
mcnt cmincntlt suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency of fair
arbitration, and cannot be disposed of, to the public
satisfaction, in any other manner.
The decision of :1 Commission or Board of Arbi-
tration, having the public cunfidcncc, will be accepted
by the public, and the social and financial rearrange-
ments made necessary thereby will be undertaken by
tho public, but in no less deliberate nor orderly
manner.
The railroads 0f the country cannot under present
conditions assume this enormous increase in their
expenses If imposed upon them it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank-
ruptcy and imperil the power of all to maintain
their credit and the integrity of their securities
The immediate increase in cost, followed by other
increases that would be inevitable, would substan-
tially appropriate the present purchasing power of
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment, to keep
abreast of the demands of the country for efficient
transportation service. .
In good faith we have worked continuously and earnestly in a sincere effort to
solve the problem in justice to all the parties at interest. These efforts were still
in progress when the issuance of the strike order showed them to be unavailing.
“"oblem Threatens Democracy Itself
The strike, if it comes, will be forced upon the country by the best paid
class of laborers in the world, at a time when the country has the greatest need
for transportation efficiency.
The problem presented is not that alone of the railroad or businesrworld,
but involving democracy itself, and sharply presents the question whether any
gnoup of citiaens should be allowed to possess the power to imperil the life
