Forty-fve per cent of the earn
|ings Of the railway companies are
| paid in wages" affords the oppor-
hifity to show the sum total at wa
ees paid. What interests the rail-
road employee is not the bulk sum
paid to all Of the railway employees,
but the individual amount that goes
to each man, and it is only on this
basis that the figures Of the railway
companies interest him.
That there is not so much justifi-
cation for the contention Of the rail-
roads that the eight hour day is inn
possible, is proven by the fact that
at the present time there are seven
roads in the Southeastern, and one
in the Western territory. that pay
overtime and an eleven miles per
hour basis. Six roads in the South
eastern, and two in the Western ter
ritory, pay overtime on a twelve
mile per hour basis. Eight in the
Southeastern, and five in the West
ern territory, pay overtime on a
twelve and one-half miles per hour
speed basis. There is only one road
in the United States of which we
have knowledge that works more
than the ten hour work day, name
| ly, the Monongahela.
The question has been raised,
Whether there should be nation
al regulation Of wages on the rail-
roads, to be administered by spec
ial national boardY'' This is ques-
ton that at this time should not en-
ter into a discussion of the main
proposition. 1t contemplates, how
ever, so great a departure from the
present methods of fixing wages
that certain inquiries as to its effect
are pertinent. The most important
are these: Does the proposition by
implication mean that wages so fix
ed would have to be accepted by
the employees without question? Is
it the idea that wages and condi-
tions once decided by a board Of
the character suggested, would mean
that the employees would have to
accept them and remain in service?
If neither Of the suggestions applies
to the proposition, and railroad en-

WHY THE EIGHT HOUR DAY?

incentive. to delay work during the
regular working time. 1t does not
apply to railroad service. Both the
employers and the men know that
if delays are made without reason,
the men are called to account OF it,
if at fault they are disciplined, and
the companies have it within their
power to determine whether or not
delays are unnecessary.
The railways have introduced
statements that serve no purpose
other than to divert attention from
the main question: for instance, the
money paid a green" brakeman is
quoted at $500 a year. A ripe
brakeman does not get any more
for the year than the green brake
man except that the ripe brakeman
has a regular job and stands a
chance to make regular time while
the green brakeman is on the extra
board and must take his chances
for employment when the regular
man lays off. Instead Of getting
$500 a year, there are times when
he will be fortunate If he has a
chance to make a trip once month.
If he works on certain roads, that
one day will be applied to his pay
ments due the voluntary relief as
ISOLATION and he will not even re-
ceive that in money.
The pay Of train service employ
es, other than passenger, is based
on 100 miles or less, ten hours or
less. In the Eastern territory, for
instance, the brakeman will receive
the munificent sum Of $2.67 for req
ular freight train service, out Of
which he must maintain his family
at home and take care Of himself at
the other end Of the road. The 100
mile trip is what represents one
days work and means that at its
expiration the man must lay away
from home until he is deadheaded
back or returned with a train. The
conductors in all classes Of road ser
vice receive approximately one-third
more pay than the brakemen. The
difference between the wages Of the
two is easily estimated.
To be specific, the WAGES paid in
freight service in the Eastern terri
tory are as follows:
Through freight; Engineers. SAYS; |
tiremen. $245 to $40 according to
class Of engine. Way freight: Engi-
-.
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1916-04-14

neers, Csc additional and firemen
15c additional per day. Switching
service: Engineers, $4.10; firemen,
$3.50 and $3.50. One hundred
miles or less, ten hours or less, con-
stitute a day. A few roads pay en-
gineers $4.85 and $5.15 per 100
miles or less for certain classes of
heavy power, while other roads in
the same territory, with heavier en-
gines which handle approximately
IS per cent more tonnage, pay the
same rate Of $4.75 to the engineer,
although the firemen gets the bene-
fit.of a graduated scale running from
$245 to $40.
Through the irregular freight
work, construction, snow-plow, cir
Gus or wreck train service: Conduc-
tors. 5000; flagmen, $O.0267;- brake
men, $O.O267 per mile; runs Of 100
miles or less to be paid for as 100
miles, on a speed basis Of ten miles
per hour. Local freight service,
way freight, pickup or drop, mine
and roustabout service are paid as
follows: Conductors, $0.045: flag
men, $0.03; brakemen, $O03 per
mile; 100 miles or less, ten hours
or less, constitute a day.
Eight hundred dollars means that
the brakeman who receives that
amount must work 100 miles or less
for every calenday day in the year.
The railroad men are piece-workers;
they do not get paid by the year,
but by the days worked. Whatev-
er wages brakemen receive above
5000 are earned because they have
worked overtime. It Is no trouble
to estimate these wages for they
are based on 100 miles or less. ten
hours or less for the days work.
Wages are a trife higher in the
Southern and Western territories.
The statement has been made
that this present demand for the
shorter work day is based on peak
earnings Of the railways, due to the
present boom in business. That is
not so. The shorter work day move
ment was started before the present
earnings Of the railways were
thought Of. The demand is based
wholly on the absolute belief Of the
men that the eight hour day is the
proper work day and that when
they have worked that number Of
hours they have fully complied with
every reasonable requirement that
pertains to a fair days work.
The statement has been made
that roads in the hands Of receivers
have not cut WAGES. The fact that
WAGES have not been reduced on
such roads is not to be placed toI
