got in 1910 brought the conductors
up to only s3.63 a day as against
S3.75 TO S4.1S in the West and South.
They want the wages of conductors
and brakeman raised to the level in
the West and South. They add:
Against this percentage of in
crease for conductors and brakemen,
which is set up as an excuse why
no further increases should be grant
ed in this territory of low rate of pay
and onerous conditions of service, let
US see what the stockholders record
is in the way of increases in divi-
dends paid during the same period.
"In 1890 the sum total Of divi-
dends paid to the holders of railway
stock I'm the United States amounted
to SS7. 100000 this being paid upon
81 per cent OF the total railway stock
then I'm existence the other 63 per
cent. paying nothing.
"In the year 1910 the amount of
S460 100000 was paid to the railway
stockholders in dividends (this being
paid on 81 per cent. of stock existing
in 1910) thus showing an increase
during that period Of 429 per cent. in
the amount paid as dividends.
"Is it legitimate to demand that all
sacrifice to the public interest must
be made by a class of men who have
only received 80 per cent. in increases
during the period since 1890 and levy
no tribute for the public interest up
on the stockholder, who has. in the
SAME period. received 429 per cent. Of
increase in his returns from his in
vestment?

"ln reply to this assertion the rail-
road managers last night said in a
letter to the trainmen:
"The absurdity Of the compari-
son you make between the in
creases in pay Of employees and
the increases in dividends of rail-
roads for the period between 1890
and 1910 is so apparent that we
believe it will only be necessary
TO mention It for you to see your
error, as VIC are loathc 10 think
