Mr.. John F. Vallery, General Agent

Young, General Superintendent, passed
through Keota Thursday. Questioned
concerning the expected demands by
the big Four" brotherhoods for de-
crease in working hours Of freight en-
gineers, firemen, conductors and train
men on all western railroads, he said
1.-THE public should not be misled by
statements of the brotherhood leaders
seeking an eight-hour day. At present
the wage schedules in freight service
provide that "ten hours or less, 100
miles or less, shall constitute day."
Now the bratherhoods seek to make
that read eight hours or less, 100 miles
or less.' The words 'or less make it
compulsory on the railroads to pay their
men when called for duty regardless of
whether the men actually work. II the
same wages are paid for eight hours or
less the demand becomes really one for
. 25 per cent increase in wages, with
further increase in the form Of time
and-a-half for overtime, or 87.5 per
cent more than the present rate. 1t
will cost the roads $1OO, 600, 600. year
more, az there are 300, 900 men affected.
And that s10O, 900, 900. will have to
come out of the pockets of the public
increased freight rates.
The brotherhoods haven't formally
made their demands yet. We are de-
termined to oppose the increases
fought, tho we believe such momen-
.ous matter should be arbitrated. -
