the Mississippi-in a store-room of
which the roof was not yet shingled.
The only table in the town served as
a pulpit; the red blankets from one
wagon were converted into cushions
for the front pews, which consisted
of rough boards laid on TRUSTEES.
There was only one hymn book, and
after reading the hymn, the preacher
rendered the book to any one who
would lead the singing, but no one
volunteered. My scruples about
psalms seemed to vanish, so I went
forward took the book, lineu out the

readily taken up and sung by all
present. We were we'll satisfied with
what the day brought us, as we rode
home past those wonderful granite

meadow.
There were people in our frontier

The Trainmen's Side in Nutshell


In a publication issued by the
Transportation Brotherhoods from
their Cleveland office, appears the
following digest of the trainmens
side Of the big question now up for
settlements:
Railroad officials lay much stress
on the statement, that rs per cent of
all railroad employees now receive 2S
per cent OF the total wages paid
This claim means nothing what
ever. because it fails to take into con-
sideration the years of preparation
for the job and the fact that the line
between life and death is so thin that
when a train employe leaves on his
run he is never sure when he will re-
turn.
1.-THE last annual report of the in
terstate commerce commission shows
that a trainman is killed on an aver
age OF every 4 hours and 40 minutes.
and a man crippled every 3 minutes
and 80 seconds. And this does not
tell all the story, because if a man
does not die from his injuries within
~ hours he is not reported to the
commission as killed, and unless the
injury disables him for three days he
is not counted as injured.
"Out OF every 100 men who start
work as tiremen. only II ever become
engineers; out of every 100 men who
do become engineers only six become
passenger engineers.
1.-THE average length of service is
eleven and half years.
TRAIN service employees are picked
men in every sense of the word.
Few realize the rigid physical ex-
animation they are required to pass
and which is more severe than the
United States government requires
for enlistment in the army or navy
physical examinations are repeat
ed every two or three years.
"Eyesight, hearing, color percep.
ton, heart action and blood pressure
are all scrutinized closely.
"Although the United States gov.
eminent prohibits by law the con.
tinuous employment of a train EN-:
ploye more than 16 hours, it is worthy
OF note that in 1915 there were 1890
violations reported by the railroads
themselves.
Under the rates OF pay now receiv
! ed by the men, they must work. from
y to 20 hours in order to earn enough
to be on par with the wage earners
in other trades.
"What man receives per hour is
the only proper basis for discussing
wages. The following table shows
the prevailing wages received per
hour by freight crews, as compared
to other organized trades:
Locomotive engineers ........ .4S1%t
Bricklayers, plasterers, etc. ..... 75<
| Locomotive firemen $40
Carpenters, painters, etc. ....7 TOO
! Freight conductors 400
Laborers in tunnels, wells, etc. .57ht
Freight brakemen .267(
Excavating laborers 400
Are these high wages when yol
consider the responsibility and skill
required Of freight trainmen?
Excessive hours and the terrific
strain skaters the health and short
ems the lives of these men,
'The employees are not asking fol
more pay, only that their working
hours be made less.
"They desire relief from the pres
ent arduous working conditions sc
that their time at home will be length
ened and their chance of relaxation
improved"
