PAY.0F RAILWAY
OFFICIALS DOUBLED
Statistics Show That Salaries Of
General Officers Advance
With Freight Revenues.

Railway officials in their oppose
ton to granting the freight crews
better working conditions, attempt to
prove that because the train crews
wages have been advanced slightly
since 1890, that that is a logical rea-
son why they should not receive any
further increase in pay or any better
working conditions.
Railroad officials admit that reve-
nue. has. increased from $1.65 per
freight train per mile in 1890 to 1891
per freight train per mile in 1914
more than 100 per cent. Official fig
ures show that general officers SAL
aries on 81 western railroads were in
1900, $4,537,404 and in 1913, $9,444,-
52S-an increase of over 100 per cent
in cost of officials salaries. =
The above figures lead to the in
ference that salaries paid to general
officers increase in the same ratio
that freight train revenue does.
And still, the officials vigorously
oppose shorter work day for the
freight train operative.
