RAILROAD WAGE ARBITRATION
Every labor organization and every employer of la
bor will await with keen interest the outcome of the first
case brought before the board of mediation under the
terms of the Parker-Watson act. That law, which super
sedes the act which created the railroad labor board, is
expected to bring about amicable adjustments of all dis
putes between the railroads and their employes. It was
enacted only after lengthy hearings before the commit
tees of Congress, during which it was shown that both
parties, the railroads and the brotherhoods of trainmen,
conductors, engineers and all other organizations of em
ployes, were anxious to obtain legislation looking to the
arbitration of wage disputes and all differences arising
between the railroads and those who serve them.
Now it is announced that an agreement has been
reached for arbitration through the mediation board, of
which the former head of the House commerce committee,
Samuel E. Winslow, of Massachusetts, is chairman. The
issue is the wage question between the railroads supplying
the territory north of the Ohio river and east of Chicago
and their trainmen. As the board itself was unable to ad
just the differences through mediation, all parties “after
friendly and thorough consideration” agreed to arbitra
tion at the request of the board. Two arbitrators will be
selected by the railroads involved in the dispute, two
others by the men, and two others by President Coolidge.
• President Lee, of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, ex
plains that the question at issue arisbs out of the demand
of the conductors and brakemen in the freight service in
the territory involved for an increase of $1 a day, which
the men insist is warranted by the earnings of the rail
roads in the Eastern section of the country. It is under
stood that if the result of this first arbitration under the
new law is satisfactory to both sides the report of the
arbirators will be followed immediately by like requests
from railway employes throughout the country.
The arbitrators will meet in New York as soon as
named, and are expected to reach an agreement in Octo
ber.
ISLANDS MISSING
Some of the Bogosloff islands in the Aleutian chain
are missing. The coast guard cutter Haida reports that
several of them have been roaming around between Asia
and Alaska ever since 1908, and great difficulty is exper
ienced in keeping them in American waters. Like other
youngsters, they insist upon “stepping out.” The fact that
they dislike American “waters” may furnish a clew as to
their dissolute habits.
TONS OF PRINTERS INK
Philanthropic widow of Montgomery Ward, who in
his time was a past master in the mail order business, died
in Chicago last Monday. Montgomery Ward started his
mail order business selling dollar watches and cheap jew
elry. By giving people their money’s worth and using
tons of printers ink in advertising he built up possibly the
greatest mail order business on earth.
WHICH EXPLAINS WHY
It is stated that rich deposits of gold have been found
in the Philippines, which explains why, in addition to rub
ber the Philippines are not yet ready for self-government.
NEW BRITISH GUNS
The guns of the new battleshp Nelson of the British
fleet will hurl a ton of hot metal for more than 20 miles.
There are nine of these 16-inch Berthas and anybody get
ting a broadside would lose all interest in everything ex
