However, all this talked OF increased

The Railway Overtime Problem.

EJitUr Times:
Since You so kindly published the
article submitted some three weeks
ago by the Railway Employees Com
mittee, we would like to offer auother
The country is being flooded with hit
erature gotten out by the railroad
companies and the question is being
handled by them from every coneeiv-
able angle. 1t would be impossible to
make reply in Il single article to see
the arguments that have been adj
vanccd by them so it is our purpose
IN this paper totakc up but one phaze
Of the subject viz; The increase OF
wages IN the past 20 years versus the
increased earning power of the men.
Mr. Howard Elliott President of the
New York, New Haven K Hartford
K. r makes the assertion that in the
past 20 years the wages OF railroad
men have advanced from 25 to 10 per
cent. We find no fault with that
statement il Mr.. Elliott will conhne
II TO the organized branches of rail
way labor, but when it comes TO the
unorgani2cd employees We say decid-
ly, no. Granting that the increase
has been as much as % to 40 per cent
Ne ask why should it not be all Of that
and even more. II you we're to ask
Mr.. Elliott why it is that he gets
$4,000 per day and his section men
get Sl,25 per day his only reason
would be that of his greater earning
power,
The earning power OF att train SER
wee employees has greatly increased
IN the last 20 Years, in fact much more
than from - to 10 per cent. On two
railroads on which the writer has
worked the train load has increased
800 per cent For tcaryou may think
that the Committee or the Printer
may have made Il mistake We want to
write it out, five hundred per cent, or
one locomotive is now pullingas much
tonnage as five did less than 20 years
ago and the monthly pay check but
little larger.
While the rate has increased, the
number of miles the crews are able TO
make has been greatly decreased be-
cause OF the long heavy train. You
understand that no train service EN-
ployees get monthly salary but get
paid onl y for the number of miles they
may make. Some one may say that
the increased tonnage per train is not
because of increased efficiency of the
men but is the rcsult.oE large eypcn-
ditureS on the part of the companies
TOR better motive power, larger rails
and more ballast and they see no rca-
son why that should cntitle the en-
ployees to more money or shorter
hours, Therein lies greatIundamen.
tai ccomic principle tha, seems TO have
escaped Il great many people, to-wit:
Any increase in productivity that
does not benefit the employee as well
rs the employer is just as sure to cause
industrial depression as the sun iSsurc
10 rise and set.
To illustrate suppose that 10y the
expenditure of n few thousand dollars
our own railroad was enabled to so re-
duce grades and increase the size of
motive power that one engine could
pull the same load that two does now,

an avenue whose farther end is lost
in uncertainty. That every Mexican
of the 100000 who inhabit the rich
republic, will turn on the slightest
provocation against the members of
the punitive expedition, is a fact pat
ent to everybody in the United States,
except Prof. Wilson, in Washington,

largely due to his own multitudinous
blunders is equally apparent.
"Villa is familiar with every foot Of
ground in northern Mexico; he knows
that every Mexican along his route
will aid him and hinder the pursuing
'gringoes,' he knows that even Car
rama, whose throat he would like to
sink his yellow teeth in, will not long
be able to restrain his followers from
attacking that thin and unprotected
line from Columbus across the deserts
to Parral, the mining camp nesting
deep in the canyons Of Pedro Alvar-
ADDS estates, and he knows that Ger
