Furthermore this finally thaws out

We stand for continuance of the

public funds belonging to all the peo-

But, further in confirmation of the

THE RAILROAD MEMS SIDE
OF 1T.

To Tie ditor Of The Fo, ruin:
Right now, while the railroad
situation is occupying every ones
attention, issa good time to call
attention 10 q few important facts
in regard To- the controversy be-
tween employers and employees.
The, threatened railroad strike
hinges on two important points:
wage reductions and agreements be-
tween the roads and the men. The
companies want to have the wage
board cut the wages down to
what they were prior to July 1,
1920; what this would amount to
is best illustrated by taking one
class Of labor sas an example. For
instance, . railroad brakeman,
working freight, would be paid at
the rate Of $4.0S per eight hours or
per 100 miles. Taking a 80 day
month, this man would make an
average wage of $122.4O per
month. On this he is expected to
support = family and raise his
children prpperly. / have heard
people say,that would not be hard
to do. Let % zee. He is away from
home half M The. time and his ex-
penses look Sofnething like:
Fifteen mesls away from home
at SO cents per meal, $22.50.
Hotel room, or at least a place
to sleep, Is nights, $11.25. This
1875 represents the bare neces-
stiles Of lie while away from
home, and leaves him 1886 to
|: support his. family. AZ railroad
brakeman must wear heavier cloth
es than most ordinary laborers -
hence more money for clothing.
His rate of Insurance is the high
sest rate any e1ksa of men have TO,
pay, some companies rating him as
high ass $4s per $1,000 per year.
] should not have to show where.
he gets OF at with 1856 for sup
port Of his family.
Did ! hear some one say? "But
! know brakemen that are maxi
ing over 5000 per MONTH" Very
true but have they stopped to
+ cons4 der that whenever this man
draws Sover his $122.40, he is work
ing over his eight hours? Time and
q half for overtime. sounds good,
but how many Of you have ever
walked over as90 car train in the
dark, with the snow flying and one
I Of our North Dakota winter winds
sweeping through your clothes?
Or walked back your regulation
distance to flag the following train
+ and perhaps stand there for two
or three hours before you are call
ed in? Does any other class Of
labor have to Be ready to go to
work at any hour Of the day or.
night, with the comfortable know
ledge that the greater portion Of
| your work is To be battling snow
or rain, as the ease may be !?

/ denim the railroadsmens FOR asking

part sof the situation as it stands
