Brotherhood of Railway The average earnings for tha IIS men were with which they met average expenditures of In these figures there la an apparent ing of 2 cents possible an- savings of 24 cents and hope that after a century would be saved for a rainy day JEWEL'S STATEMENT CHICAGO May against the wage reduction proposals submitted to the railroad labor board by railway executives wero summed up today by B M Jewell president of the railroad employes department of the American Federation of Labor He declared that for the board to der a wage reduction now would only bring the dispute new national working agreements back before the board for determination in a con- of redoubled bitterness and we would have a condition of utter chaos in the transportation Industry Negotiations now in progress on new working agreements to take placa of those recently set aside by the board could never result in an agreement before the day of Mr Jewell declared if new wage schedules are established now and attempts are mado to negotiate the new agreements on the basis of a reduced wage Wo submit Mr Jewell said that the board can not an intelligent and fair decision as to wage rates except It reaffirms the prevailing schedules until the new agreements have been fixed and promulgated HUMES WANTED FIRST The reason for this is obvious Neither carriers nor employes can know what wage schedules mean or amount to until they know the rules by which those schedules are to be applied We must have our stick before we can measure our cloth Manifestly railway workers can not be expected or asked to accept a wage schedule when they have no means of knowing exactly how much they are to receive under that ule It is equally manifest also that to establish a new wage schedule before the new agreements are would preclude the possibility of our reaching any agreement through those negotiations If the railroad managements are not utterly blind to their own selfish interests they will join me in ing the withhold its decision In the pending matter until ye have the new agreements The delay will be no the carriers selves make it From the day the railroads were returned to private ownership we have endeavored to cure a speedy determination of the question of agreements and the riers rejected every overture we made The responsibility for the delay lies solely with the carriers REASON FOR CUTTING For this board to make a decision in this wage case unless that deci- sion be to reaffirm existing ules before working out now ments would be to provoke the em- ployes anew and to perpetuate strife and misunderstanding We shown there is no justification for a reduction in the wages of railroad We have shown that there havo been no wage reductions In the basic industries that are comparable to the transportation Industry and have demonstrated that they are made the servants of the public instead of the playthings of Wall street PLEA OF CARRIERS Throughout these proceedings the carriers have made but one Teal plea their financial inability to pay The ability or inability of the carriers to pay the present wage has no bearing on this case and can have no consideration in its determination but railroad management has so much of this phase of the trans- problem and the public has been permitted to hear so little else that we can not ignore the issue Justice to railway employes to the and tho public is not contingent upon the ability of the car riers to pay their labor costs and a return to normalcy in industry and commerce does not wait upon a re- duction in wage SOFT HANDED WARNED real issue in this case ip the wages of man the wages of money and the time has come for the people of this country to know and understand that the wages of men will never go back to erty levels It Is time for those who do not toil with their hands to understand and accept the principle of the ing ivage and to realize that the man factor in industry is the inant vital force in the modern world Therefore we can rest our case cure in the belief that the rank and file of railway employes which we represent can not and will not be deprived of any measure of the rights which are theirs be- cause they have earned them and be- cause they deserve them Pleading life is a constant gle with the odds against for the unskilled labor on the railroads George Eastty vice dent of the Brotherhood of Railway and steamship Clerks Freight and Station Employes day urged the railroad labor board to refuse any wage at this time Capital never goes cold he said We are here ing the cause of human beings who need food clothing and every day of the year To them the spectre of unemployment is a ghost never To them life is a constant gle with the odds always against them SCHWAB IS ROASTED A TO TRADE Assignments for School Term of Given to Public i Mr Eastty declared that the public had been deceived when it was told high wages were the cause of high prices Profits he said were the real cause of high prices A few days ago the chamber of commerce wanted to know what was the matter with business so it sent for Mr Mr Eastty ued The philanthropic gentleman who heads the Bethlehem Steel cor- that marvelously good man who receives certificate of ture every ninety days and who medals and crosses from Eu- ropean and American the call and said high labor costs were to blame and that wages in all lines must come down PROFITS RISE It never occurs to Mr Schwab to suggest that profits come down Mr Schwab did not tell the public that after the wage increase had been paid the prices of finished steel was only 41 per cent higher in 1917 than it was three years before the war while the increase in net profits per ton of finished product was 220 per cent Closing the union's argument E
