EMPL OYEssAY THEY
HAVE HAD No MORE

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 27.-Any
advances in operating costs of the
railroads have not been due to added
OUTLAWS to transportation employees.
Train and engine crews have given to
the transportation companies more
than they have received in increased
rates of pay. This fact is clearly
shown by the reports of the railroads
themselves to their stockholders and
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Although engineers, firemen,
conductors and trainmen have receiv-
et. some advances in rates of pay dur
ing recent years, they have had to
work harder, and have handled more
traffic each year for each dollar of ad-
ditional compensation received.
Transportation employees are piece
workers. They are engaged in handl-
ing freight and passenger traffic. The
requirement for a standard days work
is to haul so many tons of freight or
so many passengers 100 miles. If the
weight of freight train is increased
the cost to the railroad for labor in
handling each ton of freight 100 miles
is less.
The constant increasing of train
loads has been the predominant factor
in recent railway operating progress.
The growth in weight of trains has
has been more rapid than the advances
in rates of pay to transportation en-
ployes. Engine and train crews have
transported proportionately a greater
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-04-27

volume of freight than they have re-
ceived increases in wages. As a con-
sequence. the labor cost to the rail-
roads of engine and train crews has
decreased.
During the course of the recent labor
arbitration between the Western rail-
roads and their engineers and firemen.
il is shown that the proportion of
total operating expenses arising from
payments to transportation employees
was IA per cent less in 1913 than in
1890. In 1913 it v as also shown that
wage payment to transportation en-
ployes required 19 cents out of each
dollar of revenue earned by Western
railroads in 1913 as compared with q
cents out of each dollar of revenue ia
1899. When considered on the basis
Ut freight tonnage, it was found that it
cost the railroads for wages to loco
motive engineers and firemen 65 cents
for each 900 tens carried Done mile in
1890, while, in 1913, engineers and
flremen transported 1000 tons a mile
for only SO cents, a decrease of cost
t. the railroads for these employees al
one, during this period of slightly more
than so per cent. 1t was also shown
further by exhibits submitted during
tie Western Arbitration that during
tie more recent years, 19OO-1913. the
cost to the transportation companies
for wages of engineers and firemen de-
ceased IL per cent for each 100 tons
Of freight hauled one mile.
1t is apparent from these facts that
tie productive efficiency of transpor-
tation employees has increaser faster
than their rates of pay. To produce
these results for the railroads they
have had to work excessive hours. The
present movement for an eight-hour
day is, therefore, reasonable request
by transportation employees to partici-
pate in the results of their own labor.

cents but in form of shorter work

MAY 8 IN SAVANNAH

MACON, Ca, April pa hearing
of the motion for a new trial in the
case of the United States VS.. Matthew
Nj. Lowery, of Americas, charged with
embezzlement, will be argued before
Judge Lambdin in chambers at Savan-
nah on May 8th. Lowery was convict
ed in this city last fall after lengthy
trial. He was acshier of the Americas
National Bank.
Should he be granted another hear
lug, it is hardly possible that his case
will come up at the May term Of the
court, which convenes in this city on
May 1st.
The trial of Emmett C. Hawkins, as
sistant cashier Of the same institution,
which was continued at the term of
court when Lowery was convicted, will,
however, very likely be brought up at
the May term for disposition.
George D. Wheatley, Jr., another as
sistant cashier of the failed bank, is
hlso under indictment, and is now a
fugitive.
