roua i THE WINSTON-SALEM JOURNAL Sunday Morning, August 20, 1916 OFFICIALS URGED TO ABANDON INSISTENCE ON ARBITRATION (Continued From I'age One) adjustments. "Only experience can make it cer tain what these arrangements would be fair and equitabln either on bo half of the men or on hohalf of the railroads. That experience would be a Indefinite guide to the Interstate Commerce Commission, for example in determining whether, as a conse quence or tne charge it wouiu pc i necessary and right to authorize an Increase of rates for the handling and carriage of freight (for passenger service is not affected). "I therefore proposed that the de mand for time and a half time for over eight hours work by the men and contingent proposals of the rail road authorities, be postponed until facts shall have ijon the place of calculations and forecast with regard to the effects of a change to the A hour day; that within the meantime while experlencfl was developing the facts. I should seek, and if neod he obtain authority from Congress to appoint a small body of impartial men to observe and thoroughly ac quaint themselves with the results, with a virtw to reporting to Congress at the earliest possible time the facts disclosed by their Inquiries, but with out recommendation of any kind; ami that It should thtfn he entirely open to either or both parties to the pres ent controversy to give notice of a termination of the present agree ments with a view to instituting in quiry In suggested readjustments of pay or practice. "This seems to be a thoroughly practical and entirely fair program, and I think that the public has Hie right to expect its acceptance." . Mr. Holden instated on arbitration in his reply to the f'rosidejit because "It Is essentially the common right of every citizen of whatever condi tion In iifo to be heard," and because experience has put the right to claim arbitration as a method of settling such controversies beyond question." He argued that the eight hour day is impracticable in railroading, and said that the roads are willing for the In terstate Commtslrco Commission or any other disinterested body to arbi trate the whole question. The do. mand for the eight hour day is In reality, ho declared, only an IndinVt plea for "an enormous increase in wages" and said that "in this instance for those demanding a change to re fuse to submit their dej-nunds to ar bitration Is Indefensible." , Statement by Mr. W. G. Lee, head of the brother hood of railroad trainmen, gave out n brief statement tonight on behalf of the men. pointing out that In accept ing President Wilson's plan the em ployes "surrendered a very large por tion of their demands.' He added the workmen would re main here, but would take no further action until released by Mr. Wilson. The stutement which Mr. Holden made to the I'resident said the rail road representatives had given care ful consideration to the chief execu tive's proposal!! and expressed a sense of the grave responsibility upon their shoulders. In previous statements of the negotiations, said Mr. Holden. the conference committee of Manag ers had constantly adhered 1o the policy of arbitration as a fuudamen tain principle, a substitute for waste ful litigation. He indicated its sur render would amount to a denial of the right to be heard, which does not exist under any form of government known to the race. Continuing, Mr. Holden said: "The eight hour day I shall not at this time stop to fully analyze or comment upon importance of the dif ference between the eight hour day as commonly understood in the build ing and manufacturing trades and the so-called eight hour basis day named in this controversy the eight hour day, Is In our mature judgment, when considered in connection with rail road train service, a question upon which honest minds may differ and is therefore necessarily n subject for arbitration. In that manner Ibe contentions of the parties may be con sidered and a fair answer given. "Social questions affecting the ord inary work day In which for mix days a week a regular daily routine, is pursued, nre those which de termine how long during each of (hose periods, tho laborer should - work, and while in -Home States eight hours had been adopted as the desirable or compulsory maximum,. this broad land is today teeming with the contented and ctllcient industry of millions of workers that, are vvoik ing more than eight hours a dav. The precedent, therefore, exists it exists in fact in' (he right or wrong of It, as we feel, has not yet in this country, passed beyond the realm of debate. "But these are not our problems. The railroad day Is a different thing, as has been patiently and, 1 Infer . many times explained. Railroad trains run through the 21 hour period tho public demands that they run on Sundays and holidays" they start at any hour that tho in" cessitrvi mny demand they cannot stop until a terminal is reached ntnl many conditions, slated and neelden 'al, render it impossible to restrict the hours of railroad labor to a fixed standard. "In a general movement of some '.ears ago, the present ten hour basis day was negotiated and approved by 'he representatives of railroad labor hroughout the country and has con tinned with some exceptions to the uresent day. These exceptions have 'ecn worked nut under local condi tions, different often from tho gen ial conditions affecting tho ques 'lon "We stand for the principle of nr- drutlon for the settlement of In ilatrlal disputes. Arbitration is the deal toward which public sentiment """fad legislation of this I country 7 have 'men contending for the settlement of ' sputes between employers and em- 'nyes particularly in the case of ' uibllc service corporations rather han the strike and the luck out. with ftendant disturbances and paralysis ' public business, "We Invoke that principle now rind ire willing for the interstate Com merce Commission to arbitrate the hole question.

"But we have been met with a - fusal to arbitrate in any , manner; d are now asked to surrender (he inclple and to add an additional ' irden of many millions per annum the cost of railroad transportation - hl ronntrv for the benefit of -'ass who are amone the most high- . pall ann lavoreu worsioon in ine - orld. This is demanded under the -u?day. ait fs'Tn rSJl.nV - crease in vagi "Tii I' fiiM- to ail.itr.it!. is an ad mission of the llhrcusolhlcm ;-s of the demand. "In this instance, for those de manding a change to refuse to sub mit their .1. ;::"njs to urhiti ;it ion is indefensible." Ollirials I'inil DiH-ouragement The railroad ollicials louiid en couragement in two (mints in pres ident Wilson's plan. The first was a hint that if the facts warranted, the Interstate Comniorc Commission might grant a rise in freu ht rates and the second eight hour basic rate would be accepted only tentatively and might be terminated alter in vestigation by the eoniinission, provid ed under the. president's plan. Many railroad ollicials are ( id to feel that investigation by an impartial com mission cannot fail to back up their assertion that an eight hour day is not. There is no concealment of th fact that siiiuc of them believe many man ufacturers and shippers are bound to register at the White lions,. their oposi.lion lo this piiipii al ami thai pressure will be exercises to have members of the S.-nate and House impress the rreri.b id with tin ir convictions along the same lute. Till' 'railroad preshb m s went to the While House shortly before noon today lind at the same time tlio gen eral committee of i niph.yi held a meeting but only marked .lime await ing tile decision Of the ollicials. Presiib id Wilson w railroad . ottieials in ' t h and after Mr. ' Holden their positrm. began a peal which left, his vi d the I'.lue room, had slated ilra mat te ap dors sobered and thoughtful. At i inn s striding up ami down in front of the small group and emphasizing telling points by shaking his first, the President told the railroad executives bluntly he be lieved they should accept his plan. .Must I'aeo Naked Truth "We must face the naked (ruth In this crisis," he said, "We must not. discuss impractical- things. We must get down to a basis on winch this situation can be solved" In a voice rising at limes so thai it was beard outside the closed doors, he 'Iceland be had tried to bring about it i-l 1 1 1 i :i I ii n , that his efforts had failed, and that he . had no way of forcing its acceptance. Congress, be declared', . would not pass a compul sory arbitration law. After til" conference, the rres.i.lcid (old Mr. Ilolib-n be would be ready to receive Hi" executives again whenever they were ready.. While the brotherhood men were In session today at then- hall the I'resident n-nl word to ollicials of the unions that they might excuse their members until Monday. Tonight they are leaving town fur nearby rcorls by scores. The brotherhood leader said tonight they vyouhl he willing t" slay another week, if necessary, but mine of tin in thought the negotia tions would last that long. .Many brotherhood men called on their repr'-sentat t cs in Congress to day and protested in advance against any compulsory .arbitration bill which might be introduced. The only bill they desire to see come out of the present agitation would he a meas ure to empower the government in case of a strike to operate the rail ways with the present crews on an eight hour basis pending a . settle ment. Among the railway executives the claim was made tonight that a strike could be broken within a week. Ailontioil w-as called to the fact that a larg,. number of railway -employes voted aaglnst a strike, and it was claimed that many east an as senting -vole upon Hie understanding that no strike actually would be call ed. Some lime ago the mauagenn-nts were said to have called for volun teers to .serve in the event. of a walk out.
