RAIL co.'s OPPOSE
PREVAILING WAGES

Albany Railroads operating in
this state have carried to the New
York supreme court their fight
against application of the eight-hour
day and the prevailing rate of wages
to grade crossing elimination work.
The state and the railroads are
joint parties to the removal of grade
crossings, which will cost $300,000,-
900. The legislature passed law
that calls for an eight-hour day and
prevailing wage rates on this work,
but the railroads demand freedom of
contract" This means that the work
would be done under the low-wage,
long hour system. and would disre-
gard the Industrial depression.
Attorney General Hamilton is
spokesman for the various agencies,
including the State Federation of La
Dor, that is upholding living stand
ards.
The railroads are the Long Island,
New York Central, Erie, Delaware &
Hudson, Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley,
New Haven and Staten Island Rapid
Transit Company.

Washington.--Wo Women seem to be
more susceptible than men to benzol

Occupational diseases were described
as more insidious perils than indus
trial accidents.
Behind an after-dinner cigar, a
box of chocolates, luminous wrist

the housewives kitchen, lurk possible
menaces to the health of the women
who help to make these popular
articles" said the bureau.

ARE NOT EARNINGS

scales for 1929, the bureau says:
at is impossible, of course, to fol-
low up the thousands of individual
members and get from them the time
they work and the amount of time
they don OF work; hence no statement
can be made of their actual earnings
in week or year. This report can
only treat of rates Of wages as dis
tinct from actual earnings"
