New-York tribune., 1919-08-13

President in 1918, it's expenses were
paid out of war emergency appropria-
tlon. Lack of funds is responsible for
the termination of it's activities.
The board held its last official session
at the Hotel McAlpin. William H. Taft
men, who presided, in overruling the
contentious of attorneys for the trac-
tlon companies that many of them were
not working on a profitable basis, de-
clared that the question of wages was
not to be determined by the financial
condition of the employers.
"The ability of the carmen to live
on the wages given them was the
sole factor which Influenced the board
in arriving at its decision" said Mr.
Taft. "The board took into considera-
ton the increased cost of living for the
year ended last June and found that
the increase justified higher wages. u
Twelve Companies Affected
The companies whose employees were
granted the increase are:
Bay State Railway Company, which
operates seventy-two small trolley
lines running into Boston.
Pittsburgh Railways Company.
Cleveland, Paynesvilie and Eastern
Railway Company.
Cleveland, Paynesville and Ashta-
bula Railway Company.
Beaver Valley Traction Company.
Pittsburgh and Beaver Valley Street
Railway Company.
Railway Light and Power Company.
Portland, Ore.
East st. Louis, Columbia and
Waterloo Railway Company.
Alton, Granite and ST. Louis Traction
Company.
East St. Louis and Suburban Rail-
way Company.
Cleveland and Chagrin Falls Railway
Company.
Cleveland and Eastern Traction Com
pany.
Attorneys for the companies con-
tended that as many of the lines were
suburban, the emproycs did not have
70 meet the high cost of living of the
big cities. The employees on the sub
urban lines in Massachusetts de-
manded that they receive the same
pay as men working in Boston.
Some Workers Own Autos
Photographs were produced by atto--
neys for the companies to show that
some Of the carmen owned their own
homes and q number owned automo-
biles
James H. Vahey, representing the
union, said the men working on the
lines running into Cleveland worked
under complicated wage system. He
said they received 60 cents an hour
while working within the city limits,
but that when their runs extended
beyond the limits their pay was re-
duced to AZ cents an hour He asked
that they receive the same pay for
suburban as for city runs
When John Henry, counsel for the
Cleveland lines, produced figures to
show that some of the companies were
not making sufficient profit, Mr.. Taft
interposed that "some suburban lines
are designed without business fore
sight" Both Mr.. Taft and Basil M.
Manly, Joint chairman, then announced
that the question of increased pay
would not be based on the employers
financial condition.
The board refused to revise its de-
cision Of April 10 to make forty-four
hour week in the silk mills of Paterson,
n. j., effective Immediately, instead
of on October l. Representatives of
500 factories in the textile industry
asked that the time for making the
shorter week be advanced 1t was
stated that some factories already had
adopted the forty four hour week and
the move to have it made general was
started by employees of these factories.
