The Paw of Train Mem.


So common is it to remark that railroad men,
especially train employees, are poorly paid, that
we have taken the trouble to ascertain the aver
age salary paid per month to the men in
the different branches of train service, selecting
July, which was the dullest month in the year
with the indianapolis railroads. The pay-rolls
of three different Indianapolis railroads-which
are fair criterion of other roads centering here
show that on one road the highest amount
paid to any engineer was SLIPS; the lowest,
$9Z 80; on the second road, $1O8 the highest, $97
the lowest; on the third road $1OS the highest,
$9640 tho lowest All were paid on
the trip, or mileage basis, as is
the case with majority of the roads
Of this country. The pay of the fremen ranged
as follows: On road No. /, highest $50. TO- lowest
$5l so; road No. 2, highest $50. 3d. lowest $51. 90
road No g. highest $50. g. lowest $42. 20. The
ground is taken that fremen are practically APP
prentices The brakemen were paid on road
No l, the highest $50 80, lowest $50. 40 road No.
2, highest $56 20, lowest $780, road No. 3, highest
$52 80, lowest, LIS. The pay of the conductors
averaged as follows: Road No. l. highest paid
conductor $685. lowest $S7. Is; road No 2,
highest $97 so, lowest $685. 10; road No. 3, highest
$500, lowest $50 so. In every case trainmen
when business is heavy can considerably increase
their pay by making extra trips Freight train
men receive the largest pay per trip or mile,
but are required to do more hours of service

Rumor says the Baltimore & Ohio is at the
bottom of the John King movement as Fries
president, and thatthe former road has become
largely interested in the shares. Mr.. King is
said to be in fine trim after three years rest.
On his return from Europe, few weeks since
Mr.. King was asked whether, after the many
active years he had given to the Baltimore &
Ohio, the three years of leisure he passed in
Europe did not become irksome. He replied
emphatically that he had enjoyed more rea
pleasure in twenty-seven months abroad thar
he had in the previous twenty seven years, and
that if man with cultured tastes is satisfied
with the private means he has and is not am
bilious to accumulate more money he can get

The Good Of the Pool.

The New York Indicator of the 10TH under the
head of ''The Good Of the POOL Says 'sThe
indianapolis journal takes avery discouraging
view in regard to railroad pools, and with good
reason, for it has been interviewing managers
and agents of various pool lines on the question
of maintenance of rates. The journal dscov-
cred that every road, except the one in which
the person interviewed was interested, was cut
ting the pool rates. AS the Journal interviewed
a representative Of nearly every road, it Of
course discovered that all the roads were cutting.
Now the Journal has discovered nothing more
than has been known for long time We
doubt If there is single official Of any railroad
in the country who does not believe that all
rival roads are secretly cutting rates. and who
viii not so express himself interviewing them,
therefore, on that point is much like collecting
crop statistics from fafrners-they are bound to
show very bad state of affairs The Indianap-
oils journal, however, falls into grave error
If it thinks thatits interviews have disclosed any
weakness IN our argument that the railroad pool
had been proven to beof great value to the pub
tic, and had made it possible to keep rates uni
form. There is no reason why we should take
the advice Of the Journal TO spend few DAYS
at Western railroad centers, as we have been
there both before and since railroad pools were
adopted We know that there has boen very

agents throughout the Northwest Offering to pay
them commission of 81 each on sales of tickets
by rail from Chicago to New York, either first or

commission. The circular only quotes rates

The business men Of New Orleans are rather
uneasy lest that city is to lose its prestige as
commercial center. The general impression in
railroad circles now is that the opening of the
Vicksburg, Shreveport 6 Pacific road will, in the
course of time, result in New Orleans losing the
bulk of her trade with Texas, for the reason that
Cincinnati will have direct line into North Texas
and also the northern portion of Louisiana, and
will flood these sections with supplies and arti-
cles of trade in way to shut out this market
The route, which will be known as the North
Texas outlet, is the most direct line out Of
Texas to points in the East and in consequence,
will capture the bulk, if not ALL of the through
passenger and freight business originating in
Texas, which viii be sent via Yicksburg and

East-Bound Freight Rates Again shalsy

The situation in freight circles was rather
squally yesterday, and indications are that Com
missioner Doherty, of the east-bound pool, will
at the onset of taking the Office, find that he has
some investigating to do. 1t is charged that the
Blue line has cut the rate to the seaboard to
18a cents per 100 pounds and the ugly feature
about is that property loaded into White-line
cars was transferred yesterday to those of the
Blue line. Then it is alleged that the Nickel
plate has taken over one hundred loads out Of
Indianapolis at cut rate of three cents per one
hundred pounds, and the export business from
this section going to Baltimore and Newport
News is carried it is SAID, below tariff, and
some Of these fellows who say they never cut
rates are getting on their war paint.

years ago. We do not question that the mainte-
nance Of rates is due to the honor of the freight
men, but it is the pool that puts the freight men
upon their honor If there was no agreement
between the railroads to maintain rates, there
would be no honor involved in the matter, and
if the pool has established point of honor
which railroad men are bound to respect. the
pool has certainly done much to bring about a
better system than that which was formerly in
