Railroads Ask Re-
peal of Burden
some Law
SO-CALLED FULL CREW REG
ULATION IS COSTLY TO
THE PUBLIC
TO THE GENERAL ASSEM-
BLY, OF MARYLAND:

III IHG ZEN EMAIL ASSEm-
BLY, OF MARYLAND:
The undersigned Railroad Com
panies, all operating in the State
Of Maryland, join in a petition to
your honorable body to act favor
ably on Senate Bill No. IA intro
duced by Hon. Walter Mitchell
which repeats the so-called full
crew law enacted in 1908. This
burdensome and wholly unneces-
sary law requires railroads to
man all freight trains Of 30 or
more cars with crews Of six men;
viz: l Engineer, Fireman, l Con
ductor and 2 Brakemen and l
Flagman g Brakemen). This
crew comprises one more Brake
man than the railroads need.
The petitioners respectfully
urge the abolition Of this extra
Brakeman
BECAUSE. the employment of this
useless Brakeman is an unnecessary
burden on the railroads, and there
fore, on the public, which after all
pays the bill' In 1919 the cost was
$314.9O4, in 1920 $49e,s9O, In 1921 "a
year of business depress On) $3jI,2S2.
ii total, during the past three years.
Of $1,179,076. During the last ten
years this law has cost the Railroads
operating in Maryland approximately
TWO AND ONE-HALF MILLION
DOLLARS, without single cent In
return compensation.
BECAUSE, the extra Brakeman is
not needed in the operation of trains.
The Federal Government requires au-
tomato cOuplers and air brakes on all
cars and prohibits the use of hand
brakes on trains. Two brakemen are
sufficient. Then why a third Brake
man? q.
BECAUSE, the railroads are vital
ly interested in the safe and economic
operation of trains, and are fully
qualified to decide upon the size of
the crews.
BECAUSE, this law places an un-
necessary burden on the railroads and
leads to high passenger and freight
rates, In which the public is vitally
interested. Industry and trade must
be revived, which is possible only by
removing unnecessary burdens and
lessening of overhead charges. The
stringency of the times will be par
TALLY relieved by the repeal Of this
law. Ih1s repeal does not mean more
unemployment; 1t does mean the
transfer of men from useless to useful
occupations in other departments,
where the money paid them will be
more protitably expended in repair
ing locomotives. ears. tracks. etc
BECAUSE, Pennsylvania and other
states have repealed similar laws. The
West Virginia Legislature refused to
pass bill enacting such law. Vir-
ginia and Delaware are without such
Il law. Therefore, Maryland. alone in
this group of States, is hampered by
q full crew law.
We, therefore, appeal to your hon
orable body to repeal this burden
some and unnecessary law.

Victory Note Redemption


Following the initial response 20 the
call for redemption OF the Victory "3s4
per cent notes, there has been notable
slackcning in the volume Of these notes
presented for payment at tho Federal
Reserve Bank under the provision for
their redemption prior 10 the date Of
cali. Their yield to June l5 is not
regarded as sufficient to make them
attractive as short-tcrm money in
vestment, and there is. therefore. some
speculation as to the reason why more
are not being turned in. The theory
held most plausible IS that holders
generally do not appreciate that re
demption currently is feasible. Bond
houses are reported to be making CAPT
tai out Of the situation by accepting
the notes in payment for other sccuri-
ties
