To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indus trial warfaie? The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service your service. This army ot employes is in the public service your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Eastern Railroads in 1915, seventy-l.vc per cent of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, hignest, and average of all) as shown by the payrolls Freight Yard rvangc Average Kanw Avorg Ku Average Engineer,. $g $1931 $1783 $1643 Conduce jg 1831 1642 jj 1315 Firemen 1128 1109 "J 935 Br.ken.en.

The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under trie Gov ernment determine this issue?
