$50 train miles and nine hours work a
day as the maximum to be required of
locomotive drivers and firemen. The
wages of firemen, which by the present
scale begin at 81 cents day and in
eleven years reach a maximum of S1.2O
per day by gradual annual increase,
are altered so that the minimum
amount can be reached in eight years,
although the rate per day has not been
changed Cleaners and oilers are here
after to begin at $2.43 per week and
rise to maximum of $4S6 a week in
stead of $4.37, and days work is to
be nine hours. No engineer firemen,
guard, oiler, cleaner or other train
hand is to be called out for duty with
out an intervel of nine consecutive
hours between the finish of one shift
and the commencement of another.
The wages of switch and roundhouse
engineers are reduced from S1.S2 to 81.
45 per day. This reduction is not to
apply to present employees, but future
appointments, and the time of labor has
been reduced from ten to nine hours a
day.
WAGES OF BRAKEMEN RAISED
The wages of goods and mineral
guards which means brakemen upon
freight and coal trains, are raised from
1929 to S7.7S per week Car cleaners
and sweepers will hereafter be paid a
minimum of S2.43 per week when
first employed with 10 per cent in
crease annually until they reach a
maximum Of $4.S6 a week. Signal
men, switchmen, porters at passen-
ger stations and freighthouses, who
have heretofore received a maximum
! of $7.29 per week. will now receive
S7.54 per week, and veterans, who have
been receiving the maximum for five
years will be entitled to SITS.
| These increases seem insignificant
when compared with the wages paid
in the United States, but they have al
ready been accepted by $4,000 railway
servants in the United Kingdom.
Owing to the increased cost of main
rtenance and operation, the demand for
higher wages and the advance in the
prices of material the Swiss congress
od ovfec &c, ffrI,4
and passenger rates upon the federal
railroads. which now comprise a mile
age of 2,75S miles. The advance is at
the rate of about two dollars in every
ten, and will average 20 per cent for
first class passengers and Is per cent
for second class passengers. At this
rate it is estimated that the difference
in receipts and expenses of the gov
eminent roads, which has been in
creasing gradually for several years,
will be equalized.
The cost of living in Switzerland, as
in every other country in Europe, has
increased quite as rapidly and radical
ly as in the United States and there
has been corresponding advance in
the wages Of mechanics, railroad hands
household servants, laborers and per-
sons occupying clerical positions, which
is estimated at from u to 20 per cent
during the last ten years. House
rents and the cost of food and clothing
