Their Lives in Danger in
Yards, They Tell Wage
ArbitratOrs.

Witnesses wandered slightly afeld to
describe what they said were extremely
dangerous conditions In tho Buffalo
yards of the New York Central Railroad
yesterday In the arbitration hearing on
the demands OF $500 switchmen for an
eight hour day and ar increase of from
10 to 10 cents an hour In their ages
The hearings are taking place In the
state Chamber Of Commerce, s. Liberty
street, before q boar of arbitration
designated under the Newlands act.
r. w. Eggleston. yard conductor for
the New York Central At Buffalo. said
the tracks were so close together there
that 1t was hardly possible for a man to
walk between them when cars were on
both tracks. He said the shoulders OF
the coats OF men In tho yards were al
way. torn of from being caught by nsi's
on the cars moving by. He told of n
man dragged Off a side ladder by a car
on another track. The man was killed.
Tho witness added that the yards at
Buffalo are not kept clean and hat
pieces Of coal. wood n iron lie about.
increasing the switchman's danger when
snow IL on the ground. Replying to n
question by s. II. Heberling. president of
the Switchmen's Union, Eggleston said
he had measured distances between cars
OH different tracks In the Buffalo yards
uuu % iouiu thoNh ~ sosso " Isl
to twenty-eight inches. He described
transfer u OF five or six miles which
switchmen covered without cabooses. be-
coming so numb from the cold that they
scarcely could stand.
Eggleston ascribed intemperance
among the switchmen largely to the long
hours and rigorous work Those who
were inclined, he said, were quickly led
10 drink because Of the fatigue or be-
cause Of their lack Of other recreation
due to their long hours. He thought an
eight hour day would decrease the evil.
George +. Baxter. employed as a
switchman In the Scranton yards Of the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western.
followed Eggleston on the stand. He
favored the institution OF IN eight hour
day, but had little criticism to max OF
conditions at the Scranton yards. where
