Railway freight train service EN-
ployes have submitted to the rail-
roads d demand for a shorter work
day They are entitled to relief
from the long and arduous labor
that most Of them are now required
to perform.
Their condition has not been i'm
proved as compared with wage
workers in other industries.
Railroad train crews are not paid
a fixed salary. They are piece
workers and are paid only when
they move freight from one end of
a division to another.
The present schedules Of pay are
based on the moving Of a train 100
miles or less In 10 hours or less.
The men now ask the railroads for
q revised schedule providing for the
moving Of a train 100 miles in s
hours or less
The words or less" always APP
pear In schedules Of train crew pay
for practically the same reason that
railroad freight rates are based on
100 pounds or less" If a train
crew Is ordered out and makes a
run Of 100 miles in less than the
time specified in the pay schedule,
the crew is paid the minimum rate
for a days work just the same as
the railroad company collects for
100 pounds on 4 package, even
though It would actually weigh only
10 pounds. They have performed
their service Of taking the train 100
miles which Is the piece work they
are paid to do. There must be a
minimum rate. \
If locomotives are loaded down
with a great number Of cars SO that
they will barely move over the road
meeting with all sorts Of delays by
reason Of the long and heavy trains
and do not make an average Of 12H
miles per hour, then the employees
expect to secure overtime or time
and a half CATER the expiration Of
the s hours work, just the same as
any other wage Garner gets). If the
railroads add tonnage sufficient to
delay the movement Of a train and
make less than an average speed Of
12A miles per hour, they Of course
receive more revenue, and in conse.
quence should pay the train crews
