December II J90S To the Members of tha Brotherhood of xjomotlve Engineers ana the Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen and AU Others Interested.

We feel that it Is proper that' the members of our organizations as well as all others Interested Including the general public should have a clear and authentic statement of the questions at lame between the management of the Atlantic and Birmingham railway an i the engineers and firemen employed thereon. so that there may be no misapprehension a to the position of our members or the organizations- Involved. We eel that we have done thing possible and' honorable. awl have ex hausted every effort to effect a peaceable and harnon1OU settlement. Wileti an effort fatted the engineers aid fire! tiieir vote decided unanimously in tarot of withdrawing from the ser- vlc of the company In a body.

which they did at 12 o'clock Sunday night. December 10. An Issue or In other words. a strike Involving the member of the Brother4 hood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of. Locomotive Firemen and the organleafidrie which they represent.

Is a rare occurrence and the fact can be attributed principally to honorable sod fall' treatment which la accorded the members our association by near ly every railroad president and general manager In this country But when. reneraVraanasrw takes to position. such ha been taks by Mr. George Dole Wadley. vice prp ldent arid general man- Rper of the' Atlantic and Birmingham railway and.

The engineers and firemen employed the Atlanta and Birmingham railway nave not been working under any' shedul or agreement They receive for compensation Just what they see fit 10 KTP them.

Then again- employees are Suspend or' ed without an investigation or hearing no opportunity being given them for oefease. but the must accept just what.

discipline is meted out to them by the officers of the company. And when these employees select a committee for the purpose of bettering their conditions and they proceed in a legitimate and honorable manner to do so. a right which cannot be questioned by any minded man. and. then are treatrd with contempt and even abused by the' manager for doing so it is not a wonder that these employees should protest' against such' treatment.

tad to the extent or leaving the service of the company. A financial ZtteWtflhfljed at the of ft- of the. comptroller general of the state of Georgia is attached. Intended to show that the' Atlantic and Birmingham ran way can afford to pay their employees higher compensation for services performed This statement. is worthy of careful consideration.

During the month October. 1905. the engineers and firemen employed upon the Atlantic and Birmingham railway In structed the. committee to prepare an agreement for the government of the engineers and. firemen employed thereon.

At this time the committees were not working Jointly. Each committee submitted their proposed agreement to their respective division and lodge for Its 'approval and some was approved. The matter was. then taken up' with the executiveof fleers of both Uons' for their approval and advice On November 27 we reached Waycross and held a Joint meeting with committees and after discussing the matter- for some time It was agreed that th committees cooperate and work Jointly and prepare a Joint schedule or agreement and present same to the ncm or the Atlantic and Birmingham railway for ronslderatlonn.

Yours very truly. 11. SON' President You will note in- the above letter where the president says that parties interested roust take matters up direct with Mr. TV This could be construed to mean that Mr. TV adley would meet with the committee again it he had an op portunity.

The next day Mr. Wadley It. Is stated. called a member of the committee to. his office and he said to him that he would like to meet the committee again.

When this was reported to' the committeeUe advised the chairman to call him. up by phone and ascertain It he would do so- When his office was called up his clerk Informed tie chairman that he could not do any business over the- phone and told Mm to come to hi. office If he wished to talk to him. Hi then Instructed both chairmen to can. at his office and.

But he. said that. If they- would return to.

work l1E would stop an those who were on. the road. At this meeting he Intimated that he was going-- to dismiss all of those who took a prominent part In the matter. Instead of talking to the men as a gentleman should and treating them with respect he treated them with disdain and contempt. The committee tried to reason with him In very way possible and.

tried to convince him that all that they wanled was tall' pay and just treatment. This Ire positively refuted to do reiterating and emphasizing his former statement that he would never give them an agreement The com mJttee then returned to the hot and made their report.
