Strike Benefits to Arizona Miners
Dauies and Meyers Furnish Couenor Hunt
With List of Concessions Made by Copper Mine
Ouners 5000 Striking Employees

At the request of Governor Hunt,
Hywel Davies and Joseph S. Myers, fed
eral commissioners OF conciliation, have
forwarded the state executive list of
gains made by 5000 employees in the
Clifton -Morenci- Metcalf copper district,
after a strike of several months.
Before the strike these workers were
denied any form of organization and
during the strike the mine managers re-
fused to arbitrate. The commissioners
now state that no objection is made to
"a local organization among the men,"
and that "the results indicate that
about 90 per cent OF the employees are
members Of this local organization,
which is represented by a committee of
five from each OF the three companies"
Hereafter committees representing the
workers will be recognized, and the man
ayers will hold monthly conferences
with the committees. ''In other words"
say the commissioners, "the latch string
is on the outside of the managers Of
flee door. instead OF the inside, as
claimed was the case in the past"
Heretofore the rule has been TO pay
Me1icans less than Americans. II is

RAILROAD WAGES
ARE NOTFABULOUS
Refute Statement of MANAGERS
as to Operating Cost
Brotherhood Executives Issue State
ments Giving Figures Of Amounts
Earned in Four Branches

Railroad transportation service en-
ployes are paid fabulous wages is the
claim of the publicity bureau, main
tanned by railroads OF this country, who
are opposing the eight hour demand of
the four railroad brotherhoods.
The railroad men object to these
statements, and over the signatures of
the executives of their brotherhoods the
following figures are officially an
nounced. under the caption What the
Men Really Get:"
The pay of train service employees,
other than passenger, is based on 100
miles or la.=, zen hours or less. In the
Eastern territory, for instance, the
brakeman will receive the munifieent
sum of S2.67 for regular 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 l0O-mile trip is what represents one
days work and means that at its ex-
piration the man must lay away from
home until he is deadheaded back or
returned with train. The conductors
in all classes of road service receive
approximately one-third more pay than
the brakeman. The difference between
the wages OF the TIVE is easily esti-
mated.
ITO be specific. the wages paid in
freight service in the Eastern territory
are as follows:
Thru freight: Engineers, S475; fire
men, S245 10 s3.4u, according 90 class
of engine. Way freight: Engineers, %
cents additional and firemen 10 cents
additional per day. Switching service:
Engineers, S4.lO: firemen, $3.50 and
s. 60. One hundred miles OF less, ten
hours or less. constitutes day. 4 few
roads pay engineers S4-S5 and S5l5 per
100 miles or less for certain classes of
heavy power. while other roads in the
same territory. with heavier engines
which handle approximately 35 per cent
moro tonnage, pay the same rate OF
Sf.7j to the engineer, altho the fireman
gets the benefit Of graduated scale
running from S245 to $40.
Thru and irregular freight, work,
construction. snowPlow, circus or wreck
train service; Conductors, S004; flag
men, SO.O2G7; brakemen. S0O2G7; per
mile; runs Of 100 miles or less to be
paid for as 100 miles. on n speed basis
Of 10 miles per hour. Local freight serv-
ice. way freight, pickup OF drop, mine
and roustabout service are paid as fol-
lows; Conductors. S0.045; flagmen, S0.O3 /;
braSemen. 5000 per mile; 100 miles or
less. ten hours or less, constitute day.
Eight hundred dollars means that
the brakeman who receives that amount
must work 100 miles or less for every
calendar day in the year. The railroad
men are piece workers; they do not get
paid by the year, but by the days
worked. Whatever wages brakemen re-
oeive above $500 are earned because they
have worked overtime. 1t is no trouble
to estimate these wages, for they are
based on 100 miles OF less. ten hours or
less for the days work Wages are 4

wage, regardless of race" This means
general advance of not less than 20
per cent to Mexicans and Spaniards. A
minimum wage for these camps will be
fixed on the highest basis of any min
ing camps in the state regardless OF
race. Wages OF skilled workmen have
been increased SO that they will now
compare favorably with the best in the
state.
All employees are to be re-employed
without discrimination, and guarantees
are made that foremen who exploit their
workmen will be discharged.
The psychological effects of the
strike" continues the commissioners,
-are shown in the elimination of race
prejudices and the development of
brotherhood among the workmen, which
bears fruit in unity of purpose and will
ingness to suffer and sacrifice for their
common good.
This brief outline indicates an
evolutionary condition that should, un-
der sane leadership on both sides, bring
about an era OF good win that means
peace and prosperity TO the state at
large.
1T also emphasizes the uniqueness of
the strike, which has been conducted on
different plane to any Western strike
of similar magnitude and duration.
