NOME, ALASKA, AUG. 30, 1916.
U ilu* statement reported to have
hceii made by President \\ tlson rela- |
live to the .ulilude of the railroads!
toward i tie strike situation are correct,!
the reasons ior tlie failure oi the settle-j
jiieui negotiations he entirely with thej
transportation heads.
Presuming that the remarks of the
executive are accurately quoted, they
admit ui no other inference than that,
the railroads are determined to forcei
the issue wiih their employes, even to,
the extent ol allowing a general Strike.
Prsident Wilson asserts in plain
terms that if a strike must come it
will be through tla failure of the rail-i
roads lo accept all overtures looking
to a peaceful settlement. This also
not seeking a settlement and are firm
ly decided to go ahead, and will neither
make* nor receive concesssioiis that do
not exclude ih* eight hour du) from
i oaside ra t ion.
Mr. Wilson declares that the rail
roads have refused to accept both Ills
own and congressional assurances that
aid will lie extended toward securing
an increase of freight rates to com
pensate them for the increased burden
el operating costs entailed in grunt
ing an eight hour day, and have acted
throughout tile negotiations as if they
win resolved to concede nothing. That
such attitude indicates an obvious in
clination to allow matters to proceed
to their own conclusion, is hardly to
be doubted.
Vet, it is singular that all along the
railroads have been contending that
the only reason for refusing the eight
hour day was because the resultant
increase in operative costs would be
such that, the roads could not run un
der t lie trallic charges allowed by the
interstate commerce commission.
By every species of argument possi
ble to devise they have sought to im
press upon the public, and the presi
dent as well, that the eight hour day
was to them a financial impossibility
and its acceptance without the privi
lege of raising trallic charges meant
nothing but swift and certain disaster.
Undoubtedly the railroads found
themselves in a most dillicult position
but, presuming that their contention
is correct, it is ditticull to under
stand why they continue to refuse a
peaceable settlement after they have
been given both presidential and con
gressional assurances that they will
lie allowed to increase their rates to
make up for the increase in operative
costs. On their own statements, they
have refused to consider the eight
hour day solely because they could not
see their way cleur to make the roads
pay under existing traffic charges yet
we lind that they still maintain the
same attitude when they are promised
Hint, if it is disclosed by the investi
gations of a federal commission that
they cannot profitably operate, the rate
restrictions will be modified. It ver
ily appears that the railroads are dodg
ing something beside the eight hour
day. Perhaps there is something in
the suggestion of u federal investiga
tion that does not look good to them.
Either that or else they have con
ceived the idea that they can operate
without the brotherhoods and are re
fusing all offers leading to an adjust
ment of differences in the hope of try
ing it out.
it is also possible that the obvious
solicitude of the administration has
been taken as an indication that the
government, rather than allow the
traffic of the nation to come to a
standstill.**will take some action to
ward compelling the employes to ac
cept terms or at least compeil them to
keep hands off while the railroads test
the possibilities of operating with un
organized labor. Whatever may be Hie
reason it is apparently clear that they
are intending to allow the strike to
proceed regardless of consequence to
the nation.
The present attitude is suggestive of
nothing so much as of a studied de
termination to break the brotherhoods,
if it is possible to do so.
