To my mind, the cut-out parts are the
finest thing about the standard working
chassis which we have down here at the
Hupmobile exhibit at the Palace.
We had these sections cut away to
permit YOU to see not only the way the
parts operate, but so that you can see
also that parts ordinarily hidden are as
finely made, measured and finished as
those always in the light.
In this standard cut-out chassis you see
the construction that makes the Hup-
mobile one of the longest lived cars in
the world.

RAlLMEN NOT SEEKING HIGHER
WAGES; ASK ONLY SHORTER DAY
Local Railroad Employe Says Railroads Appeal Public
Pay Imaginary 1000c0000 Is Mere Bald Statement
Unsupported BY Facts and Without Warrant
are relatively we'll paid at the present

are relatively we'll paid at the present
time.
1.-The Duluth Commercial club has
adopted resolutions asking that the
railroads and trainmen arbitrate this
dispute and not permit the men to
strike, as a nationwide strike at the
present time would be disastrous"
Mr.. Metcalfe would have the public
believe that should the railroads agree
to the demands of the unions it would
be an additional burden to traffic.
AS a matter of fact, the railroad
employees are asking for no increase
in wages, and their demands apply to
freight service alone, the passenger
service being now on an eight-hour
basis or less.
A prominent railroad employee, who
for obvious reasons cannot permit the
use of his name, has replied to the
misstatements of Mr.: Metcalfe in the
following letter to The Labor World:
"The facts are briefly these: The
enginemen, firemen, conductors,
brakemen and yardmen on the rail-
roads of the United States, except
those engaged in the passenger serv-
ice and those who are now working
within eight hours, demand that eight
hours shall constitute days work in
train and yard service, necessitating
the movement of freight trains at the
speed Of twelve and one-half miles
per hour; it is true that we ask for
time and one-half for overtime, for
the reason that we know the railroad
companies can so arrange the rum
ming of such trains as will make it
practical and consistent with the
eight-hour day, and thereby avoid
the payment of any overtime, as the
men much prefer the required rest
after eight hours labor than the pay
ment of any overtime for any service
in excess.
I'm short, and to emphasize one
correction of Mr.. Metcalfe's state
ment, we are not seeking an advance
in wages directly or Indirectly, and
therefore the appeal to the public to
pay an imaginary $1OO,00O,OO0 is a
mere bald statement unsupported by
facts and without warrant
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-04-29

F. NJ. Metcalfe, special representa-
tive of the first vice president of the
Northern Pacific railway came to Du-
luth this week, ostensibly on railroad
business, but really to stir up senti-
ment against the railroad brother
hoods which are demanding the g.
| hour workday for all transportation
employees.
Mr.. Metcalfe stated that the engi-
neers, firemen, conductors and train
men are not asking for an eight-hour
working day, but an eight-hour basic
day of pay with time and one-half
for overtime. To grant these demands
would add $10O,O00,OO0 per year to
the payroll Of all railroads in this
country, he said, and under the pres
ent transportation rates this would be
impossible.
"Men in train service are now paid
on the basis of ten hours or 100
miles," he said. 'Some of our main
line trainmen complete a days work
they receive a full days pay, or 100
u1Aeos IL tHey are at Work IL or lo
hours they are paid foaa 1o-hour day
plus the three additional hours. At
the present time these men constitute
lS per cent of the total number Of
railroad employees, but receive % per
cent of the pay and they received in
creases of from 80 to AZ cent cent
within the last II years."
"The demands have been presented
to all railroads of this country and
the roads have until April 20 to re-
ply" said Mr.. Pell. Their reply will
be no. as it will be impossible under
present transportation rates. It is
true the roads are enjoying good bust
ness, but the western lines particu-
larry, have a vast amount Of develop
| ment and improvement work to carry
on and none of this will be completed
until this present dispute is settled
The increase if granted, would simply
mean a tax of 81 per head on every
man, woman and child in this coun-
try for the benefit of 100000 men who
