EDITORS HERALD: In your issue oi
Thursday you make mention of my
name in connection with the construc-
tion of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake
railroad. am sorry that the HERALD
did not quite place it before the people
just as it is. 1t is true that ask for an
organization of reliable citizens who
will subscribe to 1000 shares of the capi-
tai stock, of wich 10 per cent is to be
paid into the treasury, l being one OF
the subscribers. From these subscribers
the officers of the corporation will be
elected, and l propose that, after
the certificate OF incorporation is
received from the secretary of state,
that through trains will be run
from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles in 16
months, and that will arrange to ne
gotiate our securities, sufficient for the
full completion of the road.
. BAGGAGEMEN's EXTRA HOURS.
The case of Armstrong vs.the Southern
California Railroad company, which was
heard by Justice Austin On Thursday, is
of interest to railroad men. This was a
test suit to determine the liability of a
railroad company to pay over hours OF
service where no contract existed, fixing
the Limitation of days work. After
trial, the attorney for the plaintiff be-
came satisfied that extra hours were not
chargeable against the company, and
the action was dismissed on that ground.
The evidence was to the effect
that in the case of baggagemen, the
service of the employe terminates only
after the arrival of the last train, no
matter whether it is late. No pay for
extra hours is allowed, on the theory
that the work is the same if the train
is late or on time, and that if the train
is late, the intervening time is at the
disposal of the employe.
