The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-05-08

The establishment of an automobile
stage route between East Dover and
Williamsvlle station should prove "a
big factor in developing summer bust
ness in that section of the West river
valley. The new service also will
bring the residents of East Dover.
South Newfanc and WilIiams,ilie into
ia position where they will be able TO
benefit to a much larger degree than
heretofore from any impro> cmcHt in
train service on the West River road.
Similar auto stage routes might well be
started in several directions from South
Londonderry.

The police are unable to cope with

THOUSANDS Join
A PULLMAN union
Sleeping Car Employees to Ask
More Wages and Better
Working Conditions.

Those in charge or the recently or
ssnixed Federation OF Pullman Con-
ductors and Federation OF Pullman
POrters report that several thousand
employees OF the sleeping car company
have Joined tine two societies. The
organization has been perfected with
the following white officers. whose jur-
isdict'Ca will extend over be n unions:
President. &. F. Stewart: vice presi-
dent. ~. r Barnedickt. treasurer. n.
J. Barstow. and secretary. n. ". Bell.
As soon a. a majority OF the conduc-
tors and pOrters become members. de-
uands will be made for increases in
wages and for improvements in the
working conditions. which are said TO
BE- intOlerable Detectives OF the Pull
man company are said TO be watching
every move Of the new organizations
and trying to learn names OF members.
For this reason the work OF the or
eanizers has been made difficult. but
as more join the more open the work
win be.
Paying one Of the highest dividends
in til United States. and with an &C
cumulating surplus. the Pullman com
pany pays its tr=in employees a lower
scale OF wages than any branch of
railroad work. Section hands and fore
men receive higher wages than the
CONDUCTORS and pOrters.
The public, which pays high for the
sleeping car privilege. is also forced
90 support the pOrters. The latter
fare better than the conductors. wlo
DO no. receive tips from passengers.
u u said that once organized with
majority OF the employees. the Pullman
unions will receive the assistance OF
the railroad brOtherhoods. and that
this will force the Pullman concern 10 !

wages or Pullman conductors and
porteTs have remained practically sta Z

records are clear for one year. II is .

said TO be almost impossible 20 earn
this bonus. owing TO the frequency
with which penalties are inflicted for
trihing causes.
One of the demands OF the porters
will be for two pOrters for each sleep
ing car. instead OF one as now. With
only one porter. passengers are great
u inconyenienced by failure TO get
berths made up promptly. There is
no system OF precedence in the making
or berths. but usually the passenger
who promises the biggest tip gets his
berth made first. often causing a hard
ship TO old persons and children. The
men say this lack Of system would not
prevail with higher wages and two
men TO a car. BY receiving more
money the negroes would value their
jobs and fear complaints. which they
do not now.
The pay OF a conductor starts at $50
per month. while $s5 = month Is the
maximum. ten years being required TO
reach the latter figure. The porters
are paid but S27.5O a month. out Of
this they must pay for all liren short
ages. which frequently amount to a
considerable sum. Conductors are al
