TRAINMEN's HIGH WAGES.

When note from the reports
made to the Interstate Com
merce Commission that these
men receive average yearly
wages so per cent higher than
those of all other railway en-
ployes, and practically double
those of the average American
wage-worker, 1t occurs to me
that they at least have less
cause for complaint than most
others. When I consider that
the average locomotive engineer
has an income of over $1,000
a year, and that most of the
engineers who have been long
in service make from $1,000
to $1,000 a year, and when
compare their hours. labor and
responsibilities with those of
the average small merchant.
farmer or doctor. whose income
is far less. 1t seems that In all
fairness they are well paid

HIGH WAGES ON
AMERICAN ROADS
Railroad Payroll Records Made
Public by the Carriers.
NATIONAL INQUIRY URGED

Managers Offer TO Leave Question OF
$1o0,0oo,o0o Wage Demands to an I'm
partial Federal Tribunal to Prevent
Disaster of a Nationwide Strike.
New York.--What is probably the
most elaborate study of wages ever
made in any industry has just been
completed by the National Conference
Committee of the railways.
For six months railway accountants
throughout the country have been en-
gagged in collecting the payroll records
to show the actual wage payments to
every individual employe among the
100000 engineers, conductors, firemen
and brakemen now voting on ma
tional strike for a new wage scale.
That these employees are one of the
highest paid groups Of workers in any
industry is disclosed by the summary
made public today by the railroad
managers.
The average yearly wage payments
to all Eastern train employees dnclud-
ing those who worked only part of the
year,, as shown by the 1915 payrolls.

Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1916-08-10

The railroads have considered every
man whose name appears on the Janu-
ary and December payrolls as an en-
ploye for year, no matter how little
service he performed in the other ten
months. 1t is pointed out by the man.
ayers that these averages are, in con-
sequence, an understatement Of the
earning power of these employees.
An Appeal to the Public.
The National Conference Committee,
In making these wage figures public,
says:
'tDo you believe in arbitration or
Industrial warfare?
"The train employees on all the
railroads are voting whether they
will give their leaders authority
to tie up the commerce of the coun-
try to enforce their demands for a
$1OO,O00,O00 wage increase.
"The railroads are in the public

of employees is in the public service

out of every dollar from you goes

"a 100000 wage increase for
men in freight and yard service
(less. than one-fifth Of all employes)
is equal to per cent advance in
all freight rates.
"The managers Of the railroads,
as trustees for the public, have no
right to place this burden on the
cost Of transportation to you with
out clear mandate from public
tribunal speaking for you.
"The railroads have proposed the
settlement Of this controversy either
under the existing national arbitra-
ton law, or by reference to the

This offer has been refused by the
employees representatives.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-09-01

Miss Elizabeth Meharg came near
drowning in Kissingen Springs late
yesterday afternoon, when, in swing
ing out on the ropes over the water,
she struck a post and fell into the
water practically unconscious, being
rescued and taken to shore by a
number of men in the water. A
physician from Barlow was on the
scene and gave her medical atten
ton, and she was brought home last
night in a truck. She is reported to
be not so seriously injured as at
first thought, and was able to be
propped up with pillows today and
is out of all danger. The blow she
received when she struck the post
was on her side which was injured
several weeks ago in an automobile
accident, and the accident was there
fore more serious than had she not
had the Previous injury. Her many
friends will be glad to learn that
she is resting well and is expected to
soon be up and out again.
