FRENCH WAGES BEST IN EUROPE
In Germany and Belgium Railroad En-
gineers are slaves.


gineers are slaves.
Joseph Thorp.
The wages in France are better than in
any other part of Europe. Engineers re-
ceive 81 and SEQ per day. Ten hours IS
called days work. Time over ten hours
is paid for at the rate OF twenty-five cents
per hour. The cost OF living is about the
same as in England, with the exception
that grapes and other small fruits are much
cheapr. House rent costs from s. TO S. per
month.
The moral and physical condition OF
French engineers is not up TO the American
standard. Mentally they are our equals.
They are quick, nervous and very ambitious
anu invariably act on the impulse OF the
moment. They are very social and gem
erous and greatly admire Americans and
American institutions.
In Germany and Belgium the wages are
smaller than any yet reported, engineers re-
ceiving N.50 per day for days work OF
twelve hours or less. No employee in any
department is permitted 10 work more than
twelve hours without necessary rest Small
as the wages are, the benefits received from
pensions paid by the government more
than make them equal 10 those in other
parts OF Europe.
The cost vi living in these countries is
about the same as in England, fresh meats
and poultry being very high. An old en-
gineer told me that he could not afford to
buy fresh meat but one day in the week.
He said that his full wages would not pay
for beefsteak for his family ii used for
every meal. They use fresh meat only for
making soups. living mostly on vegetables,
cheese. FISH and salt meats.
saw fireman take slice of bacon on
stick, hold it in the iirebox until it began
TO fry. and then make sandwich of it with
piece of brown bread. This was his din
ner. This kind of dinner in America would
cost about three cents. think it cost him
two cents.
One German engineer with whom was
talking made his dinner off slice of bacon,
with bread and cheese, adding to it mug
OF beer. / saw coffee pots on the footplates
Of engines both in England and Germany,
which indicates thar they make their own

This hot coffee saves the engineer from tax

DENVER, Oct. 1s.-At today's session of
the locomotive engineers convention the
report offhe special finance committee was
presented. This is understood TO include
the report of the Burlington strike. The

these matters have been made public. To-
night the federation committee and a
special committee appointed by the con-
vention are considering this question at a

that the federation proposition will be de-
feated when brought before the conven-
ton.

manent headquarters for the next ten years
hes between Denver and Cleveland. A
majority of the engineers seem TO be op-
posed TO any change. and the probabilities
are that Cleveland will be decided upon
