LONG HOURS A RARITY.
Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.


Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.
That long hours In train service have
been reduced to a minimum Is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Only one en-
ploye In five on the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
in the whole year. Stated In another
way, the chance OF an engineman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once in five years.
The total number of cases Of excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only 61,247 during the
year ending June 30, 1915, as COM
pared with 137,439 in 1914 and 270,S27
In 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the national hours-of-service
law. Every time train Is so de-
layed by a blizzard, washout or 9th
err cause that any part of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company must re-
port the occurrence to the commission,
giving the names Of the Individual en-
ployes concerned and full statement
Of the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating In efforts to
prevent the keeping of employees on
duty for long periods. The reduction
of nearly so per cent. In such cases
which has been brought about IN three
years shows that the working Of men
for long stretches Of continuous service
has practically disappeared except In
rare cases Of unavoidable delay.

1.-THE increase in the ACREAGE wage of
all train service employees" Mr.. Dunn
says, '1n the eight years 1906-14 was
A. per cent and in sixteen years SO per
cent The increase in the average wage
Of the other 50 per cent. Of employees in
the same periods were 35 per cent and
40 per cent The average wage Of the
100000 train service employees In 1914
was $1,253; Of the other 1881 900 en-
ployees $6S7. The contrast between
the wages of the train service en-
ployees and those Of train dispatchers
and telegraph operators, station agents
and section foremen is especially strik.
ing. The working day Of dispatchers
and operators is limited to nine hours
by federal law, but that of station
agents and section foremen Is ten
hours, and they must hold themselves
in readiness for duty at any time.
1.-THE demands of the train service
employees cannot be fairly granted un-
less proportionate concessions are also
made to other railway employees, but
the railways cannot grant the demands
of the train service employees, much
less % per cent. advance In wages to
all their employees, which would
amount to S320,00O,O00 a year with
their present freight and passenger
rates.
Most people are disposed to regard
sympathetically all movements Of
workingmen to improve their condi-
ton on the assumption that any ad-
vantage labor may gain will be secured
at the expense Of capital No such as
sumption can be made in this instance.
The proposed increase in wages would
necessarily result in advances in rates.
and most or all of It would, therefore be
borne, not by rich capitalists, but by
the 100,000,O00 people of the United
States. Probably so per cent. Of all
the people of this country have smaller
incomes than the men in railway train'
service, and It is impossible to find,
under present conditions, any justifica-
ton for large advance in the income
Of this relatively well paid class mainly
at the expense of that much larger part
OF the public which is nowhere near as
well off,"

The Commission is authorized to test

The railroads have long contended
that they were underpaid for this serv-

of dollars a year under the system of

that the Interstate Commerce Com

at its command regarding all phases
