CHICAGO, June 17.—Majority road Labor Board, who yesterday ordered another slash from wages of railway workers, today retaliated to the criticism of the minority members with the. charge that the latter presented “incendiary argu- ments in a strained and exaggerated effort to inflame the employes to strike against the decisions of the board.” Yesterday's decision, which lopped nearly $27,000,000 from the wages of 325,000 railway clerks, signalmen and stationary firemen, brought to- tal reductions effective July 1, under 000, Accompanying yesterday's order carrying reductions ranging from = to 6 cents an hour was a lengt'1y supporting opinion from the mem- bers representing the railroads and the public and the dissenting opin- jon by the labor members. Rejoinder of Majority. In their prompt rejoinder today the majority members said: “It is not incumbent upon the six members of the board concurring in this deci- sion to follow the minority into a partisan controversy. “In so far as the dissenting opinion distorts the sentiments of the major- ity, misquotes their language and re- flects upon their desire and disposi- tion to do justice, we will refrain from comment. We prefer to be- lieve that these improprieties crept nto the document which was drafted hy the employes in the headquarters of the railway department of the American Federation of Labor, and that they were overlooked by the Cissenting members.

Argument Called Incendiary. “It is something new for labor members of the board to issue incen- fiary arguments to employes in fa- vor of striking a-zainst a decision of the board. The giving of advice of this kind has heretofore been left 10 outsiders, who were not under the ‘ficial oblications imposed by the tratifportation act, the main purpose of which is to prevent railway Sirikes and protect the public. “One of the passages referred to is as follows: ““The transportation act aimed to Substitute for the strike such jus? | nd reasonable wares as would ren- | Cer resort to a strike unnecessary. | if this tribunal, created to deter-, Mine such wages, admits that under | existing circumstances it cannot ‘ul- | Ml this function, obviously the em- | Ployes must use such power as they | have to influence the labor market |/ Which is henceforth to be the de- | termining facter in their wages.’ | “That is to say, if the board makes | fuch admission the employes muvast simke, “Then the dissenting members Proceed to remove the ‘if’ and to Assert that the board has made the mission which renders a strike necagsary. . . + “Strained Effort to Inflame.” “This is not the only place in the dissenting opinion where the sur- festion is made to the employes to “trike.
