the especial attention OF the board to
the fact that engineers were now NOV

that wages had been gradually m

more freight than at that time. The
argument was further advanced that
passenger engineers on the Southern

paid on three-fOurths OF the other lines.
The freight engineers wage compared
In the main fairly well.
1t was no fault of the employees, an
other speaker reminded the board that
the Southern's revenues had been so
cut that il could not meet existing eX-
penses. If the cause was a just one, it
was argued. the road should appeal TO
the commission for the privilege OF in
creasing its freight rates, putting the
burden on the whole people, instead OF
making up the deficiency at the expense
OF the hard-WOrked employees. Even ad-
hitting the Southern's claim of an aver
