"A comparison of the figures sub
mitted by two other of the principal
eastern lines shows. respectively, a
mileage of 2.25s, with 5,451 instances
of excess service as compared with
2,S2 miles and 16.44S instances. In
the prairie country, one road with a
mileage of 4,755. reports approximate
ly 10000 instances OF excess service,
while another road in the same terri
tory. with more than 800 miles OF
tracks. reports only 2,31O instances of
excess service.
In the southwestern territory, one
road. operating less than $500 miles
OF tracks, reports approximately 100
instances of excess service. while an
other line, similarly situated. geo
graphically. reports only $50 instances
on a mileage of more than 1904 miles.
A corresponding comparison between
TWO roads in the northwestern section
OF the country shows a mileage of ap-
prcximately 5000 miles with less than
500 instances of excess service. while
another road, with less than 10000
miles of line. reports nearly 5000 IA
stances of excess service"
Commissioner McChord, within
whose supervision comes the actual
administration of the hours of service
act directed the preparation Of the
analysis.
The law provides a maximum OF Is
hours "a the limit of continuance ser

steal operation of trains. This law
is being violated continu-
ally by the railroads-many times I'M
avoidably. The carriers are required

the delays were due TO coupler and

vice were reported as attributable to
miscellaneous mechanical defects
while other engine delays usually in
cident to the operation of trains, were
responsible for. nearly 10000 addi-
tionaI cases.
LAS a result of the prosecutions in
stituted by the commission" the
analysis points out. the number of
instances of excess service reported
during the last six months, as COM
pared with the corresponding figures
for preceding years, has shown a
marked reduction
MY belief is" said Commissioner
McChord, tina. the carriers involved
will conCede to the commissions anal
ysis of their reports such a degree of
attention as will enable them, by APP
prising themselves of the preventable
causes of excess service, to eliminate
the majority of instances in which EN-
ployes heretofore have been permitted
or required to remain on duty for long
er periods than Is consecutive hours"
Under the head OF Employees in
Train Service" the analysis shows
an aggregate of S7S instances IN
which employees returned to duty after
Is hours continuous service without
having had at least 10 consecutive
hours off duty. while PA of such en-
ployes were returned 10 duty after l6
hours of continuous service without
having had eight consecutive hours off
duty
The law requires that telegraph
operators employed by railroads in
train operations, shall not be on duty
in excess OF nine consecutive hours.
The tO-al number of violations of this
law a. shown by the analysis, was
26.5SS. while it is noted that in 4,544
instances telegraph operators in Of
fees operated only in daytime were
on duty for longer periods than Il
hours
The TO al number Of cases OF excess
service OF all classes reported by the
railroads for the fiscal year was 299-
s53. The report says it IS not 10 be
assumed this number comprehends all
the instances in which employees of
railroads were On duty during the year
in excess of the statutory periods.
TO the lay mind that contemplates
the economic aspect of an Industrial
situation in which during a single year
nearly 100000 men should have been
res DonsIble for the operation Of trains
for periods in excess OF those pre-
scribed By law" says the report.
these figures may appear abnormal;
but when cognizance Is taken OF the
fac; that 251.111 men were employed
IN train service alone during the yea,

in addition to the vast number of tele-
graphers; and of the number of trains
ment for so many men, one almost
marvels that the volume of traffic
could have been transported with such
a small proportion of excess service"
On July l, 1913. in various judicial
districts of the United States, PIG
cases involving an aggregate of 2,477
separate violations of the hours of
service act, were pending, while 25S
counts were pending on appeal.

cause of violations of this law amount
