LONG FREIGHT TRAINS
MEANS SLOWER SERVICE

Cleveland.-In statement issued by
the Publicity Bureau of the four rail-
road brotherhoods, these workers, who
are asking for an eight-hour day in the
freight service, with extra pay for over
time, show business men that if railroads
practiced actual efficiency shorter work.
day could be granted and quicker freight
deliveries assured.
The railroads are claiming an eight
hour day is impossible unless freight
rates are raised. The employees. in their
latest statement, bring out the following
points:
To increase their earnings, railroads
load freight locomotives with every car
they can possibly pull, and cars contain
ing merchandise are held up at terminal
points until enough other cars show
up at that terminal point to make up a
long train.
Shipments from New York City to
towns in the Middle West pass through
from fifteen to twenty terminal or di-
vision points, with delays at each point.
When these long trains are made up
at each division point they are loaded to
full capacity and drag along at snal's
pace to the next division point.
Under the present ten-hour system
there is no penalty for working men
overtime. Train crews can be kept on
the road fifteen hours and fifty-five min
utes, thereby evading the Federal six
teen-hour law One car of freight
added to the train means a greater in
come to the company. even though it
means more delay to the shipper.
An eight-hour day would force the
railroads to move their trains faster and
if necessary, make shorter trains to get
them over the road quicker and cut out
all unnecessary delays.
The train service employees conclude
their statement:
'lf this thing of heavy and more pow
erful locomotives, cars of greater ca
pacity and longer trains reaches any
thing like the proportions predicted by
prominent railway officials, such as Pres
idcnt Willard, of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, the shipping of merchandise
will 90 back to what it was in the old
days of the prairie schooner and stage
coach, so far as time required in trans
portation is concerned. as the tendency
of railway operation is toward increas-
the time required to move over the road
The hours now lost in the slow move
ment of freight. if saved. would mean
millions to the commercial interests Of
the United States"
