d Ferife. with 2+ --the ROADS STANO BY LOYAL EMPLOYEES Tell Préesident Harding Old and New Men Must Bé Protected in Strike Settlement. New York--The keynote of the reply made by railway executives rep-- resenting more (has 180 class 1 rail-- roads of the United States to the prop-- «osition of President Harding, that "all strikers be returned to their work and their former positions with seniority and other rights unimpaired," lies in the last paragraph from their reply to the President as follows : Faithful Employtes Have Both Legal Aand Mora! Rights to Seniority and Othér Benefits. _ 'Under these circumstances, it be-- comes :;mfi that "tgl: railroads can-- not _ cons! asy settlement of the, present strike which does not pro-- vide protection in their S-qn em-- ployment both to the loyal employees who remained in the service and to the hew employees entering it." The @xecutives had accepted the first *wo conditions proposed by the Pres Jdent, namely, that both employers and employees accept the decizjons of the labor board, and that all fawsuit$ growing out of the strike be with, drawn; and in relation to the third condition spoke not only as quoted above, but also as follows: Agrée With Harding. '"'The raliroad erecutives and man-- agers agree engirely with the Presi-- Gent's statement in his letter that 'It is whoily unthinkable that the raD-- road labor board can be made a use-- ful agency of the government in main-- «saining industrial peace in the rail-- way service unless employers and workers are both prompt and unques-- tioning in their acceptance of !ts de-- <ision.' -- "In addition to the mecessity of up-- hoiding the iabor board, and main-- talning the pledges made ty the rail-- rowdé'to the men now at work, there m mlcfll effect dn the super-- Ts of a violatian of the pledges they were authorized to make. Their discouragement and demoraliza-- tiim Would be far more ditastrous than this 'OF any other strike." #WNOT A MATTER OF CHOICE "Many men in the service refused to join the strike and in so doing were assured of the seniority rights accru-- ing to them and of the permanence of their positions. ()n some important lines 50 per cent or more refused to join the strike. To these old loyaF employees bave been added thousands of new men who were employed and could be secured only upon a definite promise that their services would be pertaining to such employment, inclad-- ing that of senlority under the work-- ing rules and regulatione previcusly approved by the railroad labor board. "Just the Opposite Effect." *We especially point out that a refusal to the old men who remained in the service and to the new men who accepted service of the rights of seniority incident to their employ-- ment would have the opposite effect to that desired by the President, and wauld most seriousiy discredit the labor board. "It must be understood that any proposal that employees now on strike shall be permitted to return to the service, without impairment of their meniority, is merely another way of # img that those men who took en;-m in this crisis in good faith, rel¥img on the promises of the rail-- roads to protect them in their posi-- tions, these promises being justified by the sW#horitative utterances of the labor béard and thaus bave made pos-- umdér the juriédietion of the United States railroad labor board, or subject to the application of the transporta-- tlon act. "The board itself prescribed the rules of seniority under which the men referred to have secured their seniority rights. and the rallroad com-- panies have neither the legal nor moral right to deprive these men of those rights. By public utterances since the strike began the board has recognized and emphasized these rights, and to deny them now would, instead of up-- holding the authority of the labor board, overthrow its rules and dis credit its authority. '"'The chairman of the labor board at the time the strike was called made the following public statement : this the continued operation of the railrongds, shall now be sacrifced in 1 of men now on strike. who not oghnfl about the crisis, but, by t own action and deciaration, are no Io@ger en of the railways, unider the mo' of the United "It is subrpitted that the striking former employees cannot be given preference to employees at present in the Service without doing violence to ovq principle of right and Justice involved in this matter, and without the grossest breach of faith om the part of the railroads to the men at part of the railroads L present in their service abandoned all the rights they pos-- segs under their agreements and un-- der the decisions of the board. includ-- ing their seniurity .
