FOLLY IN DEMAND
FOR SHORT Trains
MADE BY UNIONS
Might Just AS Well Ask Country To
Return To Sailing Boats
And OK Carts

Washington, ID. C.-To the public
that pays every dollar of the railroad
bill land forty-five cents of every dol
lar paid for transportation is for
wages) the leaders of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees,
who are demanding increased pay,
say: "All the railroads have to do
to meet our demands for higher
wages is to shorten their trains, move
freight more rapidly, and escape the
penalty of overtime wages
The fallacy Of this statement, which
is the last-ditch argument used in
support of the demand for increased
wages, is well shown in the following
editorial which appeared in the
Washington, d. G. Times of April 10,
under the heading "a Mad Freight
Train Idea"
Everybody In the ranks of the
general public will agree with the
railway managers that the campaign
which the railway workers are wag-
ing, particularly In the west, for short
er trains, while at the same time de-
manding higher pay and fewer hours
of work, is of all possible claims the
most preposterous. Indeed, in econom-
los it is an ideal little short of mad.
The railroads have spent hun
dreds of millions of dollars lowering
grades, eliminating sharp curves,
ballasting roadbeds and putting in
heavy rails, SO that powerful loco
motives, larger cars, and longer trains
could be handled In one movement.
IL this object had not been achieved
railway wages never could have been
advanced to the point at which they
already have arrived and traffic rates
where they are today without the
whole railroad system of the United
States being made a financial wreck
ANY child can see that if, after
the principal railroads of the coun-
try have been reconstructed to haul
the heavier tonnage in mass, you cut
every freight train in half, the cost
pendously, with two locomotives
where one now does, with two engi-
neers where one now does, with two
f1remen where one now does, with
two conductors where one now does,
with virtually two whole train crews
where one now does, not to speak of
the new equipment and the new ter
This proposal is not essentially
different from urging that the world
go back from the steamships of to-
day to the sail barks Of centuries
ago, from the railroads themselves
to the stage coaches and OK carts of
the past. 1t is like suggesting that
the farmer himself drive his wagon

city instead of loading it in bulk into
freight cars and shipping it all &c

THE "BIC FOUR"

FOR 8-H0UR DAY

Boston, Jan. 16.-New England repre-
sentatives of the Big Four brother
hoods announced Saturday night that
preparations are we'll underway for TAX
ing general vote Of railroad men On
the proposition to submit a demand for
an eight hour day. By Tuesday it is
expected, all the locomotive engineers,
firemen and enginemen, trainmen and
conductors included in the brotherhoods
on the New England railroads will have
the ballots in hand A vote will also
be taken on proposition for time and
a half pay for overtime work in the
freight, yard and hostler service.
The proposed action of the big
four organizations involves virtually
all the railroads of this country. Mexi-
co and Canada, and all ballots will be
sent to the brotherhood headquarters
at Cleveland. Ohio. 1t will be probably
Feb. before all the New England bal
lots can. be forwarded. AS other dis
tricts in the country are more widely
scattered, union officials here believe
that if the proposition is accepted by
the men, no formal demand on the
companies can be made before April l..
Existing agreements call for a work
ing day Of 10 hours, but the men claim
that because of frequent long hauls,
they are sometimes compelled to work
from II to IS hours day.
