Under the provisions of the law Of
ficers of railroad labor organizations
are deprived of free transportation,
which they have heretofore enjoyed.
There are five railroad labor organiza-
tions-the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, the Railroad Trafnnen,
the Order of Railroad Conductors and
the Order of Railroad Telegraphers. A
conservative estimate as to the amount
of fare that our officers will have to
pay after January /, 1907. when the
law goes into operation, would be $4,000
for each organization. making a total
of $4,000 that the railroads will get
