CAMPAIGN COURTESY.

nREsIDENT WILSON is to be in Kentucky making a
Il speech the fifth of September On that same
day Mr. Hughes was scheduled to speak in the Blue
Grass state Through courtesy to his opponent, the
Republican candidate has cancelled his date in Ken
lucky and will not seek to share honors with the
President
This is campaign courtesy such might be expected
from a man like Mr.. Hughes We hope Mr.. Wilson ap-
preciates a.
Mr. Hughes has pitched the keynote Of his canvass in
the upper register It is doubtful If higher level OF
campaign oraory OF effective appeal to the intelli
gence OF an electorate has been made than that
with which Hughes has won the West during his pres
ent speechmaing And it will be so to the end
OF the chapter
Yet courtesy will not prevent-has not prevented
him from seeking out and penetrating the joints in
wilson's armor. With the searching ruhlessness
which kept him keen upon the scent Of corruption
during the gas and the insurance Investigations in New
York ten years ago. which gave him his first broad
reputation and which led him directly TO the Governors
seat at Albany Hughes win follow every trail that
promises to lead to revelation Of the administrations
weakness or folly. This is fair politics. He will observe
the amenities Of the campaignbut he will not pad his
blows.

The President might possibly make

A clear Seeing man in President
Wilson's place would have detected
in the Clayton act a measure Of prep
aration for just such a conspiracy as
the present, when the bill came before
him for signature less than two years
ago.
"A brave man in President Wilson's

THE RAILROAD MEMS SIDE.

THE RAILROAD MEMS SIDE.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir-I have read quite a few letters
in regard to the demands OF the rail-
way workers. | would like to say that
some of those writer's are not very
well acquainted with the conditions
that the men work under on the rail-
roads. If some OF those people could
work on some Of the crews for
month they would change their tune.
In regard to making big money,
they do make big money; but how
long do they have to work for it?
From twelve TO sixteen hours day,
in all kinds OF weather, night or day
They also are called for duty any hour
Of the night or day. II a man called
happens not to be home. he is sus-
pended.
l was talking recently TO a brake
man who runs over the main line.
He said he had not seen his family for
two weeks. He had to sleep in his
cabin, buy all his eatables wherever
he could. and haul from so to 140 cars
in every train. Fifteen years ago
forty cars were considerd big train.
TIL men working in train service now
are doing three times the work they
did twenty years ago. They should
receive some Of the benefits OF it.
Railway men occupy some OF the
most dangerous positions known.
There is an average Of one railroad
man killed every seven minutes. and
one such man injured every three and
half minutes in the United States
every day.
The Brotherhood OF Railroad Train
men has seven funerals on each day
of the year. II has paid over $34,OOO.-
600 in death and accident claims. This
proves how dangerous their work is.
There are ten Governors OF ten States
who approve OF the eight-hour day
for railroad men. Governor Ferguson.
Of Texas, says he will be glad to see
/ the time when the railway men re-
+ ceive the eight-hour daylight hours
sleep. eight hours play and SO per
day He must have been a working
man himself one day The train SER
vice employees receive far less than
other tradesmen. Bricklayers get 20
cents per hour; locomotive engineers.
! 4Sia cents carpenters and painters.
/ 20 cents per hour; firemen, 81 cents
per hour; freight conductors. 40 cents.
and freight brakemen, 26.7 cents per
hour.
I hope this article will convince
some of your readers that the rail-
road men are not the highest paid
skilled workmen.
! Arbitration would be all right II the
arbitration was fair. but when they
get men to sit on the arbitration board
who own anywhere from 1000 to 90
: 900 shares Of stock in the railroad, the
men don't get a square deal. It has
been tried and found that il is not
good for the employees.
About three years ago the railroads
got a per cent. increase IN freight
rates, and the men got one cent per
hour increase in wages. Railroad
train service men have to undergo a
rigid examination in sight, color and
hearing. and also pass a strong phys
ical examination in order to get a
position. They are examined every
FIVE years until they are 40 years old,
and every two years after that age
has been attained. w. H.
