 Sir-Since the general impression is that railroad employees are making "big money" and therefore are not justified in asking increase in pay, the following examples of their ac- tual earnings will show that their claims for increased pay are fully justified
 Example 1.-Car cleaners, rate g cents to g cents per hour; maximum rate, 37 cents; g multiplied by 8 equals $2.96 per day; $296 multiplied by 5.5 equals $l6.28 per week; $2.96 multiplied by 25 equals $74 per month. N. B.-Maximum earnings, $74 monthly, working full time.
 Example 2.-Machinists, rate 50 cents to 58 cents per hour; maximum rate, 68 cents per hour; 68 multi piled by 8 equals $5.44 per day; $5.44 multiplied by 5.5 equals $29.92 per week; $5.44 multiplied by 25 equals $136 per month. N. B.-Maximum earnings, S136 monthly, working full time
 Example 3-Carmen, rate 4SA cents per hour. Maximum rate 58 cents per hour; 58 multiplied by s equals $4.64 per day; S464 multiplied by 5.5 equals $25.52 per week; S4.64 multiplied by 25 equals SIG per month. N. B.-Maximum earnings $116 monthly, full working time.
 From the above it will be seen that at the very best the highest rated mechanics can make $136 working full time. Every hour they lose for any reason-sickness, holidays, etc, means that much less earned.
 When there is a shortage of mater ials, etc, or bad weather, the em- ployes are frequently forced to lose time. Result is their earnings are correspondingly reduced.
