WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-Charges
that the railroad companies are at
tempting to evade Director General
McAdoo's orders affecting women rail-
road workers have been laid before
the labor division of the railroad ad-
ministration by the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks, it was learned today
from J. J. Forester, grand president
of the brotherhood, at the Washing
ton office of the organization in the
A. F. of L. building.
''The evidence in such cases is al
ways difficult to obtain" said Presi-
dent Forester, but the brotherhood
has been able to obtain it, and as we
are pladged to the fullest co-opera-
ton with the railroad administration
for the enforcement of the director
generals orders, we are laying the
cases before the labor division as rap
idly as they come TO our knowledge"
Equal Pay for Women.
The most fragrant disregard of or
ders is reported in the application of
the principle Of equal pay for equal
work by women and men. Specific
cases have been reported on the Penn
sylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio, the
Lehigh, the Atlantic Coast Line, and
practically all the big lines, it is said.
In the general Offices of the Atlantic
Coast Line at Wilmington, for ex-

the service of the company for seven
years and whose ability is not only
unquestioned but is highly rated by
the company officials, is now being

which last June paid her predecessor,
n man, something like S105, and for
which pay has since been raised. un-
der orders of the director general, to
$3.50. Still the woman employees has
not received the increase.
"An official of the company stated"
said Mr.. Forester, that were a man
holding this job he would of course
be receiving $3.50. When asked if the
woman who does hold it was not do
ing the work equally well, he said,
oh, yes. but she's woman, and wom-

concerned never will, receive the same
pay as men, When his attention was

PROFIT ON WORKERS MIsHAPs.
Utah State Federation for State Fund
to Pay Compensation.

Private insurance companies, profit
ing on the misfortunes of the workers,
will be prohibited from selling La
bility insurance in Utah. if a law de-
manded by the State Federation of
Labor at its recent convention is
adopted at the coming session of the
legislature. The convention instructed
the Federation's officials to work for
the passage of such n law as well as
for laws to establish a minimum wage
for women and to abolish private em-
ployment agencies.
Recent experience in states having
exclusive state funds for workmen's
insurance, particularly in Ohio, it is
pointed out, has proved that millions
of dollars are saved each year to in
dustry and that more liberal benefits
are made possible for injured work
ers and their families when private
profits are forbidden in casualty in

from the railroad administration
transferring them to other kinds of
railroad employment We do not
think women should be required to
lift such heavy packages as must be

President Wilson is fond of telling

"Just so, Winterbottom, just so,"
said the treasurer, and he cleared his
throat and added: Both treated well,

The old teamster looked dubious.
