Reduction in Rates Will Not Affect Wages
Chicago Feb 1 Railroads asked the railway labor board to abrogate national agreements to permit an eventual rate reduction without immediate wage cuts. Thomas DeWitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives, denied labor charges as misrepresentations and propaganda. He said conferences with labor leaders were declined and that each road would negotiate with its own employees to adjust rules and working conditions. The railroads seek government sanction to free management to pursue orderly wage and rate reforms in the public interest. E F Grable of the United Brotherhood protested to President Wilson, calling statements before the labor board a violation of the transportation act.
