run on the western railroads taken as one great system, we're running faster than ten miles per hour. thus enabling the men to receive more pay than they would have on an hourly basis of pay. Seventy seven trains made this speed in October. 1913. This was in the freight ser vice. the passenger service remained unchanged. he said. Constructive mileage is not considered in compu- tations
 It is almost a general rule among railways to pay cnEincmen by the mile or by the hour. whichever will give the mon the most. By this sys- tenn d freight enginCman's work con sisis of 100 miles or ten hours. Thus if he makes 100 miles in less than ten hours his rate of pay is in excess of what he would receive by the hourly rate. Whether, in fact. he runs faster or slower than formerly is admitted to be one of the most important points in the arbitration Much testimony to the effect that speed k now slower was introduced when the men were putting in this evidence.

Dealings on that issue were com paratively light because it had little or no market at the arbitrary low level In the so-called market created during the closure of the exchange 1t sold down to 43la.
