Getting Their Wires
Crossed.

In their desperate effort to force
railroad strike In the present eight
hour movement those gentlemen upon
whose strategy the railroads depend to
secure Sl0O.oCO.ooo per annum in in
creased freight rates out OF the strike
have presumably convinced the public
that the demands Of the employees are
unjust and exorbitant
But when the individual general man
ager takes his own employees Into his
confidence. overlooking the strategy Of
those in charge Of the movement. he
does not hesitate to show his own men
that the demands Of the employees
mean an actual reduction in their pay
should their working time be limited to
eight hours.
For instance. the Staten Island rail-
way. an auxiliary line to the Baltimore
and Ohio. in fact. Its New York city
terminal. shows the following rule in

The language in all the wage sched-
ules Is similar to the foregoing. and
basing his statement on this rule. Mr..
w. II. Averell. general manager Of the
Staten Island Railway Company. ad-
dressed a communication to his en-
ployes. which had for its purpose the
convincing OF each employee that the
demands now made upon the railroads
would actually reduce their wages. and
this is the language quoted from his
communication:
while the requests which have
been made by the four organixa-
tions on the majority Of tho rail-
roads In the United States may. II
granted. result in freight train. en-
gine and yard men receiving each
year the same or greater pay than
at present received. because OF the
peculiar operating conditions on
Staten Island, It is absolutely GER
tain that by far the larger percent
age of the men would. instead OF re-
ceiving more money. actually re-
ceive less.
For example: A yard engineer
now working eleven hours at Il
cents an hour. receives &.5l, or, as

posed by you. this engineer would
