ordinary locomotives, were witnesses
called at the morning session at Man
haitian Beach of the arbitration COM
mission which is seeking to adjust the
wages of the engineers.
Warren S. Stone, chief of the Loco
motive Engineers, placed these men
on the stand to show how the advance
in modern railroading had added to
the duties and responsibilities of the
men at the throttle. He brought out
the fact that many railroads had
coupled together two heavy freight
engines to form one monster loeoma-
tive which could be operated by a,
single engineer. He said that this en-
gineer. with double responsibility, is
paid only a slight advance over what
he received on a single engine. The
men asked that 81 a day be paid for
this work.
Arthur Serro, New York Central
engineer. who runs Mallet loeomo-
tive in the Beach Creek Pennsylvania
coal region told of the Increased work
required to operate the new type of
engine. He said that more care is
necessary to keep a machine out of
the repair shop, that the work of oil
ing and inspection is about double
that of the old type and that crews are
compelled to lay off for rest more than
formerly
He said that the tonnage of the
trains has been Increased from 2099
TO 5000 tons, but that while he is paid
ST more per 100 miles run, his monthly
earnings are practically the same as
