Federal Inquiry or Railroad Strike?
Faced by demands from tbe conductors, engineers, firemen and bralcemen that would impose on thc country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propAc that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, thc 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 lo thc employes for thc settlement of thc controversy is as follows:
"Our conffrrnces hive ilemonstratrd that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually the mallert in controverty must be pasied upon b^ other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, ne propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railvrays be disposed of by one or the other of tht 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 ^d its control of the revenue of the railvrays, is in a posi¬ tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of d^the interesta affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost of operation Tn case y4^k)raposals are found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce ConHission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such aciion as ma^be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promplly dispose of the questions involved: or t 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 Ncw York, June 1-15, refused thc offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and thc employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to (declare a nation-wide strike.
Thc Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to bc referred for these reasons:
No other body with such an intimate know)-dge •f railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi¬ tion in Ihe public confidence.
The rates the railroads may charrc the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern¬ ment board.
Out of every dollar received by the railroads from Ibc public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em¬
ployes as wa^s; and the money to pay increased wagea can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con¬ trol over rates, ia in a posilion to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would pro¬ tect the inleresis of the railroad employes, the ownera of the railroads, and the public.
A Question For the Public to Decide
The railroads feci that they bave no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,(X)0 a year to theie employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all the employei, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine thc merits of thc case after a review of all thc fact*.
Tht singlt issut btfort the country is whether this controvtrsy is to bt stttled by an impartial Govtrnmtnt inquiry or by industrial war/art.

Great interest was shown In the race between Country Tramp and Jean Oak¬ land, Tlie Tramp won both heats but had to travel at top speed every foot ot the way to win the first heat, and many thouglil the heat a d.'ad heat, but the Judges thought differently. In the sec¬ ond hoat .lean Oakland broke nnd the Tramp came on and won easily.
The free-for-all pace was between Dick .Mason and Lillian W. Dick Mason made all the iiace but in thc stretch.
