Shaitzer TJMELY INTEREST PRESIDENT REA APPEALS TO MEN Calls Attention to Drastic Need For Economy; One Solution With Vice President Atterbury In Chicago fighting the battle of the railroad managements of the country before the Railroad Labor Board for abrogation of fhe national agreements.

President Ilea, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company yesterday issued a personal appeal to the officers and employes, requesting their co operation In reducing the cost of service to the public, and asking them to preserve an open 3ind regarding the company's attitude ward the agreements. President Rea's message which was addressed "Tq the men who' work for 'this railroad." was as follows: If every man on this railroad could come into my office and see for himself the facts that confront uil I would not addressing you this way. We have come to tne necessity of reducing salaries and wages. Drastic economies nave been made in everv other wav nos sible. Working forces have been reduced more than 70.000 men.

With less Dusmess to handle, and wages taking the abnormal sum of nearly seventy cents out of every dollar the railroad earns, the remaining thirty rants is not sufficient to buy fuel and other materials and supplies and Day our taxes and obligations. Xo Solution "There is only one way left to keen our expenses within our income, and that is to lower salaries and wages. Under such circumstances as these it is necessary to ask for your co operation, and I have known Pennsylvania men so long that I do so without hesitation. The directors of this company have given their word that justice and fair play will be accorded to all. I promise you that policy will be scrupulously followed.

"Vou have been risked to send ren resentatives to meet the general man agers, tor discuss what aVe just and rea sonable wages in the light of nresent conditions. Committees are now at work preparing new schedules of rates to submit for your consideration. It is our purpose to tell you exactly what Are the facts so that all may know and understand. "All I want to ask of vou is one thing: Be open minded. We have no intention Or desire to redjice wages to unfair laveis.

There Is no conspiracy to disrupt your national organizations. We are simply face to face with conditions that force the steps we are taking. You men have assisted in making this the! greatest railroad in the country. It is our job, yours and mine, to serve the public as economically and as efficiently as possible. So Xatlonal Agreement "The railroad is ODDOsecl to the na tional agreements because they make It impossible to operate the road for the interest of the public as well as for the Interest of the employes.

One of the most unfortunate features of the present situation is the fact that these national agreements make it impossible for us to retain the most efficient employes and to pay them for the work they do and the energy, initiative and loyalty they put into the job. "We have succeeded in the past by working together with mutual good will and eo oneration. Tn that wtiv nlnne we can succeed now. and I want to feel thaf I can continue to count on your spirit of fair play, common sense and whole hearted service."
