ing causes OF excess service to elm
mate the majority Of instances in
which employees heretofore have been
permitted OF required TO remain on
duty for longer periods than sixteen
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 six
teen hours continuous service without
having had at least ten consecutive
hours off duty, while Pa of such EN-
ploycs were returned To duty after
sixteen hours of continuous service
without having had eight consecutive
hours off duty.
The law requires that telegraph op-
orators employed by railroads i'm train
opera ations, shall not he on duty in
excess OF nine consecutive hours. The
total number of violations of this law
as shown by the analS sis was 26,JSS,
while it is noted that in ASA instances
telegraph operators i'm offices operat-
ed only in daytime were on duty for
longer periods than thirteen hours.
Excess Service Not Abnormal
The total number of cases OF excess
service OF all classes reported by the
railroads for the fiscal year was 299,-
953. The report says IL is not to be
assumed this number comprehends all
the instances in which employees of
railroads We're on duty the year in
excess OF the statutory periods.
ITO the lay mind that contemplates
the economic aspect of an industrial
situation in which during single
year nearly 100000 men should have
been responsible for the operation of
trains for periods in excess of those
prescribed by law" says the report.
these figures may appear abnormal;
but when cognizance is taken of the
fact that 251.lll men we're employed
i'm train service alone during the year,
IN addition 10 the vast number Of tel
egra piers and of the number OF
trains operated in order to provide
employment for so many men, one al
most marvels that the volume of traf-
tic could have been transported with
such a small proportion of excess SER
vice."
Up 10 November I, 1913, the total
penalties collected from the railroads
because of violations of this law
amounted to sl56.5621i, of which
$li.50O has been assessed because Of
failure of the carriers to report spe-
cifc instances of excess service.

NAVY TO BUY SUPPLIES

Washington, Dec. l7.-Taking advan-

a policy of purchasing supplies In the

put out bids for one hundred thousand
yards of dark blue cloth for trousers,
Jackets and caps for enlisted men. The
old tarim measure practically eliminat-
