By JOHN THOMPSON.

Owing to the Importance of the

Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes for the establishment and the
recognition of the right to organize
most people have lost sight of the
grievances under which the workers
in the marlborough labor.
1t can be said without exaggera-
ton that no group of railroad work
ers in the country work as hard and
get so little in return for their labor
as the men and women employed by
the Interborough. Boston pays its
subway men from So to $40 a week
more besides not handling one-fifth
of the traffic of New York.
The conditions under which the en-
ployes work are undoubtedly the
worst in the United States. The air
is foul and thick with dust. The sta
lions and cars are dirty. The lava
tories are filthy. Owing to the over
crowding, morning, noon and night,
the men get scarcely a minute to
breathe. There is no relaxation.
Eyes Are Injured.
The constant glare of lights i'm
pair vision.
There is outside of a cement fac
tory no greater breeding place for
tuberculosis than the New York rail
way lines. Most of the red checked
'brawny looking men from the coun-
try districts and from Ireland, after
"a few years in the subways show the
effect of these conditions.
The low wages, averaging about
S22 week to all except motormen or
engineers, contributes to the lower
ing of the workers health. Often
four or five share one room. The
writer found instances in Manhattan
and Brooklyn where traction en-
ployes boarded in houses so crowded
that they occupied the beds by shifts
day and night.
In order to shackle the men the
company organized its Brotherhood,
forced the men to join it and forced
them also to sign working contracts
and agreements dictated by itself.
Nearly every branch or subdivision
OF this company union is controlled
by foreman or petty official. There
is a mere pretense at, electing dele
gates, business agents sand commit
tees after the fashion or manner OF
other bona fide unions.

The proposed contract pledged the

workers wouldn't sign the company
locked them out.
Organizer Carl Holderman turned
the lockout into a strike, with de-
mands for union recognition and un-

week, reports Holderman, the knit
ters used to average $40. In union
shop doing the same class of work
the pay would be $50, up, for 48
hours. Fines were imposed in the
Millay shop at the whim of the super
intendent for coming late, going to
the toilet often, and unavoidable
breakages. AS much at 81 and So was
deducted for 80 seconds hardness.
The Millay company is controlled
by the powerful Berkshire interests

centers, in the hope of avoiding the
