RAILWAY MAIL PAY.
Congress Directs Interstate Commerce
Commission to Investigate Subject.

Washington.-The annual Post Of
fee appropriation bill recently passed
by Congress contains clause directing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to take up for investigation, report and
the fixing of rates the system of pay
ment to the railroads for carrying mail.
The Commission is authorized to test
the relative merits of payment by
weight and by space.
The railroads have long contended
that they were underpaid for this serv-
ice and that they were losing millions
of dollars year under the system of
payment now in effect 1t was felt
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, on account of the information
at it's command regarding all phases
of railroad operation, is in the best po-
sition to determine the merits of the
case.

LONG HOURS A RARITY.
Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.

Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.
That long hour. in train service have
been reduced tn \ minimum is shown
by a report v I'D by the Interstate
Commerce co. q ission. Only one en-
ploye in five Oh the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
in the whole u =. Stated in another
way, the chai. of an engineman or
trainman remsia.n on duty beyond
this prescribed INIT was reduced to
once in five years.
The total number of cases of excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only 61,247 during the
year ending June 80, 1915, as COM
pared with 1877, 439 in 1914 and 270,827
in 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics ON this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the national hours-of-service
law. Every time a train is so de-
layed by a blizzard, washout or 9TH
er cause that any part of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company must re-
port the occurrence to the commission,
giving the names of the Individual en-
ployes concerned and full statement
of the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating in efforts to
prevent the keeping of employees on
duty for long periods. The reduction
