Dear Sir: on September 10, addressed
a letter to Mr. #. X Scott, general mana
ger of the Georgia railroad, requesting
the reinstatement Of Conductor ]. T.
Paschal to his former rights as conduc-
tor, and that he be paid for all time lost,
and asked Mr.. Scott to give conference
to the undersigned and general committee

discuss this matter
on September IL, not having heard from
him. l wired him at Atlanta calling hi,
attention TO my letter OF the 10th, and
advising him that / had received no re-
ply.
On September Is received letter from
you stating that you would meet the

TO discuss this matter.
Not having heard from Mr. Scott, I
again wired him on the 18th instant, tell

When we first met YOU at the confer
ence on Saturday, 14th. in answer TO a
direct question from me- you stated 10
us that you had authority to settle this

munication of today, we find that you re-
view some of the arguments you pre-
scented on Saturday. and do not fairly
state some of the statements made by me.
but you do not say In your communica-

You are doubtless familiar with the

National Congress in March, 1907, the oh
iect ana purposes of which are set forth
in its title. viz, AN Act 10 promote the
safety of employees and travellers upon
railroads by limiting the hours Of service
of employees thereon
A copy OF this Act was posted on the
bulletin boards prior to its effective date,
that all interested employees might be
Informed Of its terms, etc. and on No
vember l4th, 1911, the following bulletin
was issued, over my signature and ad-
dressed TO Engineers, Firemen, Con-
ductors and Trainmen;
ITO comply with the Hours Of Service
Law. the period Of duty should be com
puted from the time the employee actual
~ goes on duty to the time he is relieved
of his engine or train If a train is
caught without instructions on main line

hour period, the crew will place train ii

Dear Sir:
During my experience in dealing with

as to why a matter OF grievance should

Your statement that no sound reason

tanning our requests for reinstatement of

MR.. JAMES MURDOCH,

on my return to Augusta, about IL
o'clock last night, l received your letter
OF September 2Srd advising that the
Joint General Committee, o. r. c. and
b. r, T., and officers were in session
here, and requesting the reinstatement Of
Messrs,. j. I. Paschal and A. NJ Morgan
TO their former seniority rights and that
they be paid for all time lost" and also
requesting that Join YOU In conference
today.
In matters pertaining to applications
for reinstatement In our service of those
who have been dismissed therefrom, 1t
has been our policy to deal only with the
applicant himself or with the committees
of employees ged in the same class Of
service as the applicant, that is to say,
Locomotive Engineers Committee repre-
sent engineers only; Firemen's Commit
conductors; and Trainmen Committee
trainmen. This is a reasonab BILE and prac-
tical way of handling questions of this
kind. and l will have TO ask that this
practice be adhered TO in these cases
Messrs. Paschal and Morgan have been
fully informed as to our position in their
respective cases; and in one case, that

The letter really calls for no reply,
that mar the record.
You are correct In the statement that
at our conference on the 14th instant you
the cooperation of those under him.
and that l assented tU that proposition.
You also at the same conference made the
further statement that unless your re-
quest to reinstate Mr. Paschal was COM
piled with there will be trouble for the
Georgia railroad and myself, and that the
men will withhold their support and co.
operation. There were others present
and heard all that TRANSFERRED. and Will
bear out the accuracy of this statement.
Certainly the language quoted conveys a
AS Conductor OF the train, and, of
course, controlled by rule 1872 as to his
responsibilities, Mr. Paschal in permit
Lithonia did Violate the bulletin instruc-
tlons and the National law.
The bulletin contained no reference
whatever to rule 132, therefore his re-

same soundness, say the bulletin super

book.
The bulletin simply requires that IF a
train Is caught without instructions on
main line at any point by. the expira-
VIII Gn Of the tran n tn
and report action to Dispatcher" The
bulletin contains nothing whatever about
the conductor receiving orders for his
train or any other train, therefore what
you say Is not germane to the subject.
In the discussion at our conference you
gave as one of your reasons for request
others had committed similar offenses
since the issuance of the bulletin and had
not been suspended or dismissed That
statement was susceptible of but one in

therefore needed no argument in justifica-
ton thereof
We do not understand what you mean
IN the last paragraph of your letter of
the 18th, by the words ITO restore such
man to our ranks without any reason
whatever" Mr.. Paschai has spent nearly
twenty years in the service of the Geor-
gia railroad, and If we are to believe the
statements we hear from those who have
come in contact with Mr.. Paschal all these
years. he Is man whose presence will
honor any community. He had a good
record with this company, and the reasons
why he Is not now in the service of the
Georgia railroad are so obvious that al
most everyone In the service understands
II, and 1t needs no further comments.

ductor. Mr.. Paschal himself admits that
his train was run, and that he knew be-
forehand that II would be run. contrary
to law. law that was enacted by our
National Congress and designed for his
safety. for the safety of his fellow en-
pioyees and those (the public) who travel
upon our trains.

any reason whatever-in brief. to restore
him simply because you request it.
Yours truly.
