The railroads have considered every
man whose name appears on the Janu'
airy and December payrolls as an EN-
pioye for a year, no matter how little
service he performed In the other ten
months. 1t is pointed out by the man

sequence, an understatement Of the
earning power OF these employees.

TREATMENTS HIGH WAGES.

When I note from the reports
made to the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission that these
men receive average yearly
WAGES 30 per cent higher than
those Of MI other railway EN-
ploycs. and practically double
those If the average American
waec-worlser. it occurs to me
that they at least have less
cause for complaint than most
others. When | consider that
tle average locomotive engineer
has an income of over $1,000
a wear. and that most Of the
engineers who have been long
in service make from $1,000
to $1,000 n year, and when l
compare their hours, labor and
responsibilities with those Of
the average small merchant,
farmer or doctor, whose income
is far less, it seems that in all
fairness they are well paid
