RAILROAD MEMS
WAGES COMPARED
Most Hazardous Occupation Does
Not Yield As Much Per Hour
As Trades,
Cleveland, O., June 6. 191

Cleveland, O., June 6, 1916.
A statement issued today by the
Railroad Transportation Brother
hoods shows that freight train EN-.
ployes have one of the most hazard
Gus of all occupations.
Railroad officials lay much stress
on the statement, that Is per cent Of
all railroad employees now receive %
per cent of the total wages paid"
This claim means nothing whatever,
because it fails to take into consider.
alton the years of preparation for the
job and the fact that the line be-
tween life and death is so thin, that
when a train employee leaves on his
run, he is never sure when he will re-
turn.
The last annual report of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission shows
that a train man Is killed on an aver
age of every 4 hours and forty min
utes, and a man crippled every 3 min
utes and 80 seconds. And this does
not tell all the story, because If a
man does not die from his injuries
within "a hours, he is not reported to
the Commission as killed and unless
the injury disables him for three days
he is not counted as injured.
Out of every 100 men who start
work as fremen, only II ever become
engineers, out of every 100 men who
do become engineers, only become
passenger engineers.
The average length of service is
eleven and a half years.
Train service employees are picked
IN 80
Few realize the rigid physical ex.
animation they are required to pass
and which Is more severe than the
United States Government requires
for enlistment in the army or navy.
Physical examinations are repeated
every two or three years.
Eyesight, hearing, color, perception
heart action and blood pressure are
all scruttnized closely.
Although the U. S. Government pro
hibits by law the continuous employ
ment of train employe more than
Is hours, it is worthy of note that in
1915 there were 1890 violations re-
ported by the railroads themselves.
Under the rates of pay now re-
ceived by the men, they must work
from IL to 20 hours in order to earn
| enough to be on a par with the wage
earners in other trades.
What a man receives per hour Is
the only proper basis for discussing
wages. The following table shows the
prevailing wages received per hour by
freight crews as compared to Other
trades.
Locomotive engineers .48ht
Bricklayers, plasterers, etc. 9. .75c
Locomotive firemen .31c
Carpenters, painters, etc. ...... zoe
Freight conductors ............4 Oc
Laborers in tunnels, wells, etc. .57ht
Freight brakemen ,26.7c
Excavating laborers ........ .4Oc
Are these high wages when 20,
consider the responsibility and skill
required of freight train men?
Excessive hours and the terrifl,
strain skaters the health and shor
tens the lives Of these men.
! The employees are not asking To-
more pay, only that their workin,
hours be made less.

RAILWAY MAIL
SERVICE IS PROMISED
POStOffiCe Department Orders
Mail Trains to Reduce to 10
Miles When Collecting.

Local postoffice officials have
been informed of an order issued
from the office of the postmaster
general Wednesday. which forbids
the collection or discharge of mail
at Mishawaka by trains travelling at
a rate in excess of 10 miles per hour.
This action it is held. is the result
OF persistent and vigorous complaints
on the part Of the postmaster and
business men here, who charge that
important mail is frequently missed
or damaged at local depOts by trains
which discharge and collect mail
while travelling at a high rate Of
speed
To the end that better service in
this matter might be obtained. the
Business Mems association Of AIish-
awake appointed a special committee
to discuss this matter with officials
of the New York Central but all eff
forts i'm this direction failed.
1t is not believed that a strict OBJ
servance Of the new order will ma
terially affect the schedule Of the
mail trains and local business men
say that the service out Of AIisha-
waka Will be greatly improved. 1t
is expected that the change will be-
come effective at once.

CLEVELAND STRANGER
SCALPED BY TRAIN
Victim Found Near New York
Central Tracks Unconscious
From Loss of Blood.

With scalp completely torn from
his skull and unconscious from loss
Of blood, John Pyjak, a stranger
whose home is thought 10 be at
Cleveland, o., was found on Merri-
field av., near the New York Central
tracks early Monday and removed
10 ST. Joseph's hospital
Twenty-Five stitches were re-
CURED in the work of replacing the
scalp and though no anesthetic was
administered. the patient gave no
indication that he felt pain. Follow
ing treatment he recovered con-
seriousness for a moment and gave
his name as John Pyiak. Hospital
authorities stated Friday afternoon
that he continued unconscious.
Pyjak is apparently middle aged
and was we'll dressed. Police believe
from the account given by Frank
Griffith, r. Fifth St, who found him,
that Pyiak was thrown from a pass
ing train in some manner. So far as
could be learned the skull has not
been fractured and no important
body bruises are shown.

CITY OFFICIALS URGE
QUICK ORGANIZATION
Delay in PerfeCting 0rganiza-
ton of Chamber of Com
merCe Mistake.

In an interview given out Friday
morning. Mayor Ralph Gaylor
promises his time and influence TO
the movement for a Chamber of
Commerce, and urges that no time
be lost in perfecting the Organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Gaylor said: 81 heartily favor
this plan, as / am sure it means a
bigger and better Mishawaka. The
plan as now accepted promises to
supply a long felt want and the
sooner the final details are COM
pleted the better. as delay l am sure
Will mean a material loss TO the
city"
In the same connection O. z.
Lang said: Those who have visited
the campaign headquarters lately
have been interested and impressed
by the tabulated figures about
Chamber Of Commerce work in
other cities of the same size as
Nishawaka, as well as some that are
larger and some that are smaller
The first Indispensable form of CO.
operation is membership, coupled
with an adequate income to carry
out the plans Of the organization"
Meyer Stein: "A Chamber Of
Commerce nowadays is not only a
positive benefit to a community, but
q safeguard also. 1t not only works
in the interests of community eX-
pansion, but it is the most effective
assurance that the business Of a
city will remain within its limits
and not be diverted elsewhere"
James L. Kennedy: NO man,
single-handed is big enough to
make Mishawaka the city it should
be, although some are in a position
10 lend more effort to that end than
others. No isolated group of ciu-
zens can do much in that direction.
To reach the goal, in these days Of
keen competition between progress
sive cities, every shoulder must be
put to the wheel, every selfish in
terest sacrificed to the uplift of the
community. Given an opportunity,
believe that this proposed Cham
Der Of Commerce will aid this COM
munity TO n great extent.
Charles A. Ostrom: 1T is not time
for holding back, waiting for the
other fellow. The city needs all it's
loyal citizens in the Chamber of
Commerce The best way 10 get all
Of them is for each to give an ex-
amlpe to get the best by responding
Cheerfully to the roll call for mem
