NO RATE And BOUNTY
WOULD give FARMERS
PAY OF RAILWAYME:N
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept If the rail-
roads undertook to enable wheat far
mers to pay their labor the same
hourly wage received by railroad eb-
ployes, the carriers would have to
cancel the entire freight rate charge
on grain, and pay the farmers boun-
ty of 23.14 cents a bushel, M. o. Lor-
enZ, statistician for the Interstate
Commerce Commission declared today
in an exhibit in the case on reduction
rates on grain and hay.
The exhibit was submitted at the
request of Commissioner Potter, who
had asked for a comparison of The
scales of pay of railroad workers and
farm laborers.
The average hourly wage at pres
ent of railroad employees, the exhibit
showed, is 61.5 cents against Is cents
an hour for farm labor in Minnesota.
Statisticians from Minnesota, however
had said that Is cents an hour for
the labor of the farm owner or tenant
did not leave anything for rental or
interest on investment.
Average Wages
To have paid els an hour to farm
workers would have increased the cost
of producing a bushel of wheat 36.5
cents, the figures showed They also
showed that average monthly wage OF
freight engineers since wages were
reduced on the railroads amounts to
s215.22, of passenger engineers. s240;
firemen s15246, switchmen s1396S
and section hands, $3.50.
The average hours worked by the
farmers and their hired men over a
ten year period in. Minnesota approx.
mates 300 hours per man per month.
the exhibit said IF the monthly
earnings OF railroad employees are con.
