THE PAY OF RAILWAY CLERKS.
Their Services Are Overlooked When tho
Company Increases WAGES.


Company Increases Wages,
Railroad clerks all over the country. as
well as Houston, are complaining that the
prosperity apparently extending to every
class Of railroad labor has not reached
thom. They say that their branch Of ON.
poyment has seen not an increase Of
monthly salaries, but augmented work in
stead. A gentleman who is thoroughly
conversant with the situation who desires
his name withheld. said;
why Is It that the railroad corporations
which are so DESTROYS for credit for their
wage Increases do not pay any attention
20 the needs Of their railroad clerks?
There Is every evidence that they couhne
themselves TO the organized or unionlzed
portions Of their employees, while the re-
maiuing twothirds are not permitted to
enjoy the benefits of this actual period Of
prosperity, although the companies freely
acknowledge that business Is greater ANA
that living expenses are higher than ever
before. This enlargement In the volume
Of traffic has brought heavier duties to
the railroad clcrb He has to work harder
than ever, while his salary on the other
hand has actually been reduced until the
average clerks DO not earn within 20 per
cent IN proportion 10 the number employed
what they did five years ago. The cNcup
tlun lu the iucroase " work only pertains
to clerks in the general Office The policy
OF the railroad officers appears TO liz along
the line of cutting the 5nlury Of n position
with every change This has been carried
TO such an extreme with the rank and lie
that II IS necessary 60 do something. 1t IS
noticeable that IN all the Increases ~
wages that one reads Of nowadays there is
never an article relating that the clerical
division Of railroad work has received an
increase.
"rhe daily expenses OF clerks haYe to be
met Just the same Ms those Of switchmen,
.lremen, hrakemen or section hands
voice the sentiments Of the large number
Of railway clerks who want tn know why
this prosperity is not extended TO them.
"A few days ago your paper stuffed that
the trnlnmen and switchmen Of the Inter
national and Great Northern bad received
an increase Of pay, but they failed to tel
your reporter TINT men who had been iu
the general office for I'VE 60 fifteen years
had their pay cut from $40 TO 500 month
a day or two later. Ii is the general opin-
ION OF the public that railroad clerks are
well paid class Of men. but such Is not
the case at nil, where one man makes $50
or 500 month, six more only make 500 or
SGD a month"
