justing headlight called q similar
large service into play under this
rule.
Many hundreds of such cases we're
cited in detail.
There are 1872 of these rules, as
reported by Idaho shippers, who have
gone over them.
The enforcement of these rules
has not only resulted in inefficient
service to the public, as claimed, but
Is known to have cost heavily.
For work not performed at all it
was brought out at the Chicago hear
ing the railroads paid $6,500,000 in
six months under the punitive pay
ment rule.
The interest of shippers, as stated,
is to aid in securing such equitable
changes as will affect rates down

of the apparent necessity Of parity
in wages paid generally by other in
dustries and the railroads.
Nothing was brought out indicat-
ing that the carriers advocated a
readjustment of wages paid skilled
labor, altho a desire was set out for
modification of the wartime rules so
as to facilitate the movement Of
traffic, provide proper control and
produce practical efficiency.
Rules That Prove Costly
The rules themselves were pre-
sented as showing unnecessary costs
that initiate against rate reductions.
For example, under one rule cover
ing continuous and called service,
there was cited an award to q machin-
list for sixteen and half hours pay
for work performed during a spread
of eight hours. Such cases, it was
pointed out, were numerous.
Under another rule, covering
emergency road service, in one case
company was compelled to pay four
men total of 112 hours, at 81 cents
an hour each, or $75.04, for work
which would have occupied one man
IS hours and IL minutes, which at
81 cents an hour would have
amounted to 1920, a difference OF
$62.S4. ~
One car repairer was paid $1,000
under one of these rules for service
never performed and the same
amount of overtime was paid his
force.
With a storm in sight, an engineer
insisted on repairs being made to q
window light in his cab. Under an
other rule 1t cost five hours for what
could have been done in 80 minutes
besides the train was delayed an hour
and a half. This was due to the
restrictions as to who should perform
that particular work.
An Expensive Leak
A leak in boiler, trivial mat
ter, under one rule called out three
skilled men and three helpers
