A WAGE COMPARISON
iOf American and English
Railroad Workers Issued.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Railroad
femployes in the United States receive
twice the pay of railroad employees in
the United Kingdom of Great Britain,
according to compilation just COM
pleted by the Bureau of Railway Eco
Monies of Washington. This relates
to the wages paid railway employees
and the cost of living, and is based on
the latest years for which comparative
date are available.
The average daily compensation of
railway employees of all classes for the
year 1910 was in the United States,
1928: in the United Kingdom, $1.05;
excluding supplementary allowances
tnegligibly affecting the average, it was
lin Prussia Hesse, 81 cents, and in Aus
Iemploye in the United States, the
ltrackman, receives a greater compen-
lsation than many of the railway en-
tployes of France, even those of high
ler grades and with responsible duties.
The compensation of railway en-
lployes is from two to three times as
high in the United States as in Italy.
A recent report of the English Board
of Trade on railway wages shows that
the average weekly pay of enginemen
lin the United Kingdom in 1907 was
SILT; of firemen $667. In the same
year enginemen on American rail-
ways received an average weekly COM
pensation of $3.50, counting six days
Ito the week, and firemen S15.24 Re-
cent returns make it clear that in
1912 enginemen and firemen in the
United States are compensated at
rates of pay for specific runs that are
two, three and four times as high as
the corresponding rates on representa-
tive English railways.
The annual compensation of engine
men in the United States, as reported
by two representative railway compan-
les, now ranges from S1.100 in switch
ing service to over $4,000 in passenger
service, and of firemen from $500 in
switching service to over $1,700 in
passenger service.
The rental of three or four room
house or flat is almost as high in Ber-
lin, Paris, or London as throughout the
United States, but in England and on
thirty dollars to ninety dollars a year
less. The quantity of food and fuel es-
ltimated by the Board of Trade of
England as the standard consumption
of a typical workingman's family
costs in the United States lis per
cent more than in France or in Ger
many; 35.3 per cent more than in Bel
gium. and SO per cent more than in the
United Kingdom.
1t is we'll within the truth to esti-
innate that while the cost of living of a
railway employee in the United States
lis less than fifty per cent higher than
than of corresponding employee in
the United Kinkdom or on the Cont
rent, his compensation averages over
twice As great.

TAFT FORCES
ARE FEARFUL
OF THE BOLT
BY r. A. FARRELIY.

CHICAGO, June 2o-with the re-
cess of the convention, everybody is
asking. What does it mean? All the ex-
perts agree that there is only one
meaning. The leaders ane trying to
find way out. Roosevelt has left one
door open. He has always said that he
would be bound by legally elected
majority of the convention When $40
OF the uncontested delegates agree
upon plan, it will be carried. Much
will be done at the meeting of the
Roosevelt representatives, one from
each state, held at 2 o'clock
1t is believed at that time somebody
will find way out. The proposition, it
is expected, will come from the Taft
leaders They are facing bolt. They
have the power-the power of regular
ity, but whether honest regularity, or
lot, matters nothing. Roosevelt has
shown his power-that of boiling and
splitting the party. viii the Taft peo-
pie stick to the regularity power, or
will they make a concession? 1t is be-

will be proffered. If it can come back
e. by $40 uncontested delegates, it
will probably be accepted. The fact
that the Taft people hesitate to force

an armistice, is taken to mean but one
thing-that they will not permit split

desperate and without quarter. One
side-Roosevelt-ha declared war to
the death. The other side, it is believ-
ed, is not willing to have the fight go
on that far. There are thousands of re-
ports and rumors about. One very per-
sistent is that the Taft leaders are
telegraphing Washington, d. c., wheth-
er Taft will agree to eliminate the IS
contested delegates if Roosevelt will
get out. Take that for what it is worth
perhaps nothing. Roosevelt has re-
peated again and again that he will
accept nothing from the hands of the
IS contested delegates. Through the
streets since the excitement began,
Roosevelt men have paraded and are
parading now, shouting, Thou shalt
not steal. Thou shalt no steal" In a
few hours these meetings and confer
ences may find way out One of the
ways suggested is Hughes and Hadley.
Meanwhile, the Cummins and La Fol-
lette men are sitting tight Each of
these factions knows the way out-the
nomination of either by the $40 I'M
contested delegates. There is no ques-
ton but what every delegate is in
serious mood. Old campaigners have
always seen the regular majority,
once obtained, no matter by what
means. carry it's point. That has al
ways been the rule in Republican poll
tics. The Roosevelt men say now, "The
rule is wrong, unless the majority is
right and unless a compromise is
brought about within the next few
hours, there will soon be two Republi-
can conventions at Chicago.
