DEMANDS OF R. R. TRAINMEN
Wage Increase of $1oo,ooo,ooo a Year
Would Have TO Be Borne by Public.

Would Have to Be Borne by Public.
The train service employees of all
railroad lines in the United States have
united in a demand for new basis OF
pay for all men engaged in operating
trains, except those in passenger serv.
ice At the present time they are paid
on the basis of ten hours OF time or
100 miles of distance. whichever gives
them the higher pay: and every man
receives n full days pay. no matter
how short a time he works.
The trainpen now demand that, in
all but passenger service. a. the pres
ent ten hours pay shall be given for
eight hours. or less. with n guarantee
of full days pay. no matter how lit
tie service is performed: (2) overtime
to begin after eight hours. instead Of
after ten hours. and to be paid for at
one and one half times the hourly rate
These demands would increase the
hourly rate Of pay % per cent. and the
overtime rate S7l5 per cent
They also insist that all special extra
pay provisions I'm the 10-hour schedules
shall be included i'm the proposed
S-hour schedule.
These special rules frequently give
double pay for the same service, and
enable the employees TO earn two and
three days pay I'm single day OF
ordinary working hours.
AS the increase for all the lines Is es.
timated to amount to $1O0.O0O.O0 n
year the railroads say that they cannot
pay It unless they are allowed to in
crease freight and passenger rates.
The average wages OF the men en-.
gagged in train service are already very
much higher than those of other en-
ployees and they receive % per cent OF
the total payroll although constituting
only " per cent of the whole number
Of railroad workers.

Commission Adjust Controversy.
Washington.-In order to ascertain
the position of the business men OF
the nation on the controversy between
the railroads of the country and the
unions of train service employees. which
was precipitated by the demand of the
latter for an increase I'm wages that
would amount to $100.OO0.00O a year.
the United States Chamber OF Com
merce recently submitted the mat
ter to a vote OF all its members. They
were asked to express their opinion as
to whether the dispute should be al
lowed to take its course with the pos
sibility of great strike that would
tie up all the transportation lines
throughout the country and paralyze
all business, or whether they would
favor the adoption to a joint resolu-

and adopt the course suggested. AS
result the committee of managers rep.
resenting the railroads submitted
proposal that the whole subject be
placed before the Interstate Commerce
Commission as requested by the repre-

As an alternative they offered to sub
NIT the demands to arbitration under
the Federal law. Both offers were
refused by the union leaders. who an
nounced that they would go back to

been doing.

HOLLINGER And, !
Lane DISAGREE
Nothing to It" Says Mayor,
But Supervisor Declares It
MAY Go Through

Mayor Lane and Supervisor Ben
HolIinger had two different stories to
tell when questioned this morning re-
garding the rumor that the supervis-
ors were contemplating sending. Chas.
r. Forbes, superintendent Of public
works, to Washington to lobby for a
bill appropriating $1,000, 900 for a mil
itary road around Oahu.
The mayor ridiculed the suggestion
and said that it had been uttered
only in a joking, informal way during
the course of talk with Forbes on
ether matters. Hollinger declared
that it had been seriously suggested
by a member OF the committee confer
ring with the governor on the need of
a special session of the legislature.

TECHNICAL POINT
MAY DIsQUALIFY
v. R. harrington
Tentatively Accepts Offer oil
Supervisor But Raises
Question

That w. r. harrington is probably
disqualified from accepting appoint.
ment as supervisor is the situation
developing from investigation by the
city attorneys office into the techni.
calities of Section 1853 of the Revised
Laws.
Mr.. Harrington yesterday tentative
ly accepted the appointment of SUI
peryisor to fill the Single vacancy at
u conference with Mayor Lane, but
himself brought up the question of pos
sible disqualification. The statute in
question prohibits any officer or en-
rloye of the territory or municipality
from being in any way financially in
terested in work done by or for the
city, and Mr.. Harrington, as general
business manager and one of the prin-
cipal owners of the Star-Bulletin, may
be debarred under this strict statute,
since the Star-Bulletin does printing
and advertising for the city.
Qualification might technically be
secured by transfer of stock and retire
ment from active management, or in
some similar way, but this course is
not likely to be- followed, Mr.. Earring.
ton said today, as unless he can quail
ify without any question of regularity
he is not inclined to accept the posi-.
ton.
The city attorneys office is still
considering the legal. points raised.
