THEIR TITLES WE'RE CHANGED.
Three Employees of Marquette Road
Receive 50, 1888 in Back Pay.

Some wise man, Shakespeare or
Milton probably, once asked, what
in a name?' His question was purely
rhetorical, and he started right out to
answer it himself, but he started
something else, too. Trying to answer
that question has been an outdoor
and indoor sport for all classes since
the question was propounded.
Frinstance, ask the blushing bride,
who has just been successful in q
campaign to change hers.
Or the three employees of the Mar
quette railroad, whose case was mem
toned in the Chicago hearing before
the United States railroad labor board
to show how the national agreements
and the rules and working conditions
instituted under federal control COM
pei the railroads, according to their
officials, TO pay wages in excess of the
value of labor performed.
Three employees of the Marquette
railroad received back pay totaling
$9,333 merely because their titles
were changed from bumpers to
"electricians.'
For the same reason they also re-
ceived a large increase in pay. altho
they continued to perform precisely
the same work.
The circumstances of the case as
stated in the records of the labor
board hearings are as follows:
Before November a, 1918, two at
tendants were employed at a small
power plant at Baldwin. Mich. They
were paid at the rate of $S4 and $50
per month. On the date stated a third
man was employed to be put to work
on eight-hour shifts, the pay being in
creased to $50 for one man and $50
for the other two.
These men had always been classed
as bumpers, and had no knowledge of
electrical matters prior to their en-
ployment at this point: they could not
qualify as electricians for any work
except as attendants at this particular
station. Their principal duties were to
keep the machinery oiled, start and
stop the water wheels and keep watch
that no breakdown occurred.
Under Rule 141 of Shopcraft agree
ments, which the railroads are seek
ing to have abrogated. these man
claimed to be entitled to pay as motor.
sub-station attendants and switch
board operators.
The decision rendered by the
director general not only awarded
back pay, but fixed the compensation
of these three men in the future at The
rate of ~ cents per hour for one, 6s
cents per hour. for the other two,
making the total to be paid for their
services more than the value of the
water pumped and the current gen.
Grated at this station.

NEW SYSTEMS OF ECONOMY.
Saving Money Was Never So Important
as at Present Time.


Saving money was never SO impor-
tant to the railroads as at the present
time, and new systems of economy are
being designed on all roads to stop the
wastage of time, or power, or any
! thing else which means money.
! Some of the methods of economy
which have been adopted by the Mis-
souri, Pacific are detailed in an article
in American Railroads." which is in
part, as follows:
''During 1921 the railroad will COM
plete the installation of sixteen new
Understanding plants by which AGO.
| 100000 gallons of water will be treated
and approximately 100000 pounds OF
scale which formerly went into the
engine boilers will be eliminated from
the water. 1t is conServatiYely- estl-
mated that a net saving will result OF
not less than 100000 from decrease in
fuel consumption and boiler repairs
and increase in available engine time,
, There will also be improved perform
anceS of locomotives, preventing de-
lays in traffic.
IAN expense of repairs and replace
ment amounting to about $40, year
" is being saved by installing con-
crete and cast iron culverts and re-
placing wooden trestle bridges.
Motor cars for the supervisory
forces on various divisions, in addition
to the motor cars already in use. for
section and bridge and building gangs,
will mean increased efficiency and
great saving in time.
"All locomotives are being fitted
with Harter circulator plates. thereby
increasing circulation and minimizing
pitting in the belly of the boiler. Be
sides reducing the cost of mainte-
nance, this device lowers the time re-
quired to get an engine hot and effects
saving of about 25 per cent in fuel
consumption.
Tractive Power Increased IS Per Cent.
"By means of locomotive boosters
being installed the tractive effort of
the engines are increased about 20
per cent.
1.-The embargo system has been re-
organized so that all embargoes are
now issued from st. Louis headquar-
tiers by the superintendent of transpor-
tation direct to agents and others con-
cerned.
IAN improved method of daily re-
ports is being utilized to eliminate
wherever possible Sunday, holiday and
weekday overtime work.
Freight trains are being made up
at initial points in destination in order
to avoid unnecessary switching at in
termediate terminals The runs of
both freight and passenger engines are
being heightened to afford maximum
use of power and reduce roundhouse
handlng ana 1uel conSuInptlon+ Inc
use of the '19' train order for re-
stricting rights of trains is being ex-
tended, the middle order being used as
a safeguard. This eliminates unneces-
sary stops for heavy freight trains. re-
duces time of crews on road, increases
miles per car per day, and the disable
time of locomotives, also materially
reducing fuel consumption. More ex-
tensive use is being made of double
track against the current of traffic,
by additional cross-overs, running
trains around each other, ETC."

the Executive Council Of Maine.
The Councillors should not be mar
tyred or even pursued" because they
don't agree with the Governor.
1t appears they told him in ex-
ecutive session, as is the custom, why
they did not agree with him. They
did not, as also is the custom. make
any public statement in the matter.
That would be an unusual thing to
do, and however much we might like
to read what that would be we would
still be of the opion that such a state
ment is not required and would be TO
the advantage of no one The public
airing of such matters is and always
has been left to the discretion of the
advising and consenting body And
the further fact, that all the members
of body, the duties of which re-
quire association with the Governor,
where there is naturally a wish to
preserve all the amenities possible,
refused it's consent, is as good evil
dence as we wish that they are act
ing according to what they believe to
be the best interests of their con-
stituencies. Had the Governor made
no statement we should have accord :
ed him credit for having acted ac-
cording to his conception of duty.
To insinuate that the members OF
the EXecutive> Council are lending
themselves to sordid interests in vio-
latiOn of their oaths, or are mali
ciously intent on persecution of the
Governor, is to take a position which
would outrage public sentiment if it
didn't tickle the public's sense of the
ridiculous, and which we feel sure
Governor Baxter, himself, would not
endorse.
