LONG ISLAND R.R.
EXPLOITS YOUTH
COLLEGE LABOR
Work z Days a Week,
Pay $40 a Day
BY ESTER LOWELL

Federated Press staff correspondentj
NEW YORK, August rs. - Where
does the Long Island railroad get all
the extra help to handle the hordes Of
summer beach commuters and where
do these men, most of them boys, 90
in winter? Hundreds Of young men,
some of them from schools who want
only vacation jobs and many others
hoping to get chance at a permanent
railroad job thru the summer exper.
lence, are taken on by this railroad
operated as a part Of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad system.
"They can't get everyone to work
for the road at $3.4O day." one Of the
ticket collectors with five years ex-
/ perience on the road remarked He is
now getting about $50 week when
the mileage rate is added to his daily
rate. He works anywhere from to
16 hours a day, long and short runs.
For every mile over 146 put in he
gets &c. and he claims that he aver
age 81 day on mileage.
Seven Days a Week
Seven days a week is demanded by
the job and a day off is given only by
request. The worker starts as guard
at $3.40 a day and most Of the sum-
mer extra boys never get beyond this
status. The end of summer sees the
end of their jobs on the Long Island.
Those who stay work up to trainman
and then to collector and may join
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
Those who stay long enough may
ultimately become conductors and join
their brotherhood. The company gives
a pension when the worker reaches 70
and has served his proper years, but
you ought to be dead then anyway"
the collector said.
Boys working the summer trains
ought to make $50 to SIS, not weekly,
but every two weeks; $50 to $3.50 a
week! Some of the workers raised
from guards to trainmen during the
summer are forced back to guard
status after the rush is over. II any
worker misses a single train he loses
5 to 10 days pay. There is no loung-
ing room for the men, although they
toften have to wait hours between
runs. If they go upstairs in the Penn
sylvania station to rest in the Y. M.
| c. A. rooms, they are likely to miss
their trains.
Owned by Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania railroad does not
formally state that it owns the Long
Island, but Samuel Rea is president OF
both companies and they have four
other directors or officers in common
The Long Island r. R. is operated as
part of the Pennsylvania system and
its mileage in counted with that of the
larger railroad. Among the men work
ing on the line there is less recogni-
ton Of unity, according to the collect
or. A Pennsylvania worker will not
ride a Long Island worker on his pass
and vice versa. The two companies
are trying to arrange for the Long
Islands payment of a much increased
rental for its Accommodations in the
Penn Station so that higher communal
ton fares will be warranted.
Although much of the Long Island
road is electrified, the train operators
and engineers are practically all or
gained in the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers. The company union
system used by the Pennsylvania in
some Of its departments has not been
foisted on Long Island workers yet.

LESS LIVELY BALL NOW
 BEING USED IN MAJORS
Stanley Harris Lays This as Ono Reason for Downfall of
 Macx's Athletics.

Philadelphia, Sept. 8 R)-Less lively major league ball--now a gen. orally admitted fact-may have played a part in the current down. fall of the Athletics and the crumbling of their pennant hopes, in the opinion of no less an observer than Bucky Harris, young pilot of the Washington Senator's
 The worlds champions, themselves by taking their sixth and seventh straight games yesterday from the Mackmen, have had considerable to say about the relaticve standing of the two clubs, but Harris offers a novel thought on the lively ball.
 "The Athletics" Harris points out, "had habit of getting their runs in big clusters. They got as high as 13 in one inning. They were winning most of their games that way but the lively ball was a helping factor. With some of the balls jack-rabbit tendencies removed, the Mackmen haven't been punching their tallies so numerously or effectively.
 T think all the clubs have felt this influence, but the Athletics, with their free-sWinging array of sluggers, have suffered the most, in my judg- ment."
 There Is no doubt in Harris mind that the ball has been subjected to marked change to reduce the wave of major league slugging. The shrinking of most averages is con- elusive proof of this, he points out, and adds his belief that 1t is for tl1e best interests of the game. He looks for return to the normal batting standards of the pre- Ruthian era, when it was distinction to be a 300 hitter.
