Past wrongs Of street car COM

Frank p. r. Walsh, joint Chairman
Of the board after extensive inves-
tigation during the past two months.
during which d large number Of
witnesses and great masses of sta
tIStics were examined. Controversies
between employees and sixteen other
street railway and interurban COM
panies still are before the board.
The wage increases awarded today
were on sliding scale and varied,
being based on location and facts pc
culiar to the individual cases. In
practically all instances. the awards
were made retroactive and in all
cases where employees are compelled
to work in excess Of the period Of
their regular runs the companies
must pay overtime on the basis Of
time and half, which places the
employees on the same basis with
skilled mechanics in government in
dustries. While not going deeply in
TO the question Of labor unions the
board in cases where the right Of
employees to organize has been an
issue ordered that workers be pro-
tected IN the exercise OF their rlgnt
&c join trade unions without fear of
molestation by the employer. A step
to accelerate the method of gradu-
ating men from one wake classified
ton to another also was taken up
by the board, which arbitrarily fixed
hte limit Of apprenticeship on cars at
one year. Cases still being consid-
cred affect companies in Boston as
we'll as the Rhode Island Company.
