RAIL LABOR RULES
NOT EXTRA BURDEN
Eastman Report Hits Erroneous"
View-Approves Collective
Bargaining.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Joseph B. Eastman, Federal railroad
co-ordinator. contended today after a
two-year study that it was "erroneous"
to say labor agreement rules "neces-
sarily add to the cost of railroad op-
Grafton"
In a report which approved COL
lective bargaining methods for deter
mining the wages of rail workers,
Eastman said the study had been
made because the public ought TO
know what the facts are"
The study showed, he said, that av-
erage earnings of rail workers had
dropped from $4,000 in 1929 to 81 300
in 1893.
The month of March, 1894, was
used by Eastman's staff as a sample"
in the investigation of railroad wages
and labor costs and the effect of wage
agreements on them.
The report said more than 5000
labor agreements" between employees
and railroads had been filed in one
year with the National Mediation
Board
Eastman said his aides found that
while faster trains had increased pay
to workers on the mileage basis in re-
cent years. there had been a counter
balance" in favor of the railroads in
decrease in the amount of "over-
time pay"

FOR BURKE POST
Orders Put Through for
Retirement of Detective
Bureau Head.

Promotion Of Capt Bernard w
Thompson to be head of the Detective
Bureau was definitely slated today by
the Commissioners after they had
signed the papers for the retirement
tomorrow of Inspector Frank S. w.
Burke, for more than four years head
of the unit.
Orders for the retirement of Burke
were put through by the Commission
ers promptly after they had received
notice at noon of a decision by the
Civil Service Commission certifying
Thompson as eligible for promotion
to the full rank of captain.
Examination Unnecessary.
Thompson now holds the rank OF
captain by virtue of the fact he is Sec
ond in command of the Detective Bu-
reau The Commissioners last Satur-
day asked the Civil Service Commission
to grant special competitive ex-
animation for promotion of Thompson
to the rank of captain. That necessity
was waived by the commission when it
certified Thompson as eligible on the
basis he had taken last year an ap-
propriate examination. In that test,
Thompson won the rank of fourth from
the top.
1t has been disclosed already that
two of the Commissioners are pre-
pared to order the promotion of
Thompson and that the third Com
missioner has no objection, but will
not sponsor the move merely because
of promise last Summer he made
to himself he would vote to give the
next inspectorship to another police
officer. That was before the pending
vacancy arose in the command Of the
Detective Bureau.
Promotion Arranged.
If present plans carry as expected
at the District Building, the Commits
sioners tomorrow will approve a rec
ommendation by Police Supt. Ernest
w. Brown for promotion of Thomp-
son to the full rank Of captain. and
then promote him to the rank Of
inspector in charge of the Detective
Bureau, which carries the designation
Of an assistant superintendent Of
police.
Retirement of Burke was approved
by the Commissioners on recommen-
dation of the Police and Fire Board
of Surgeons and the Police and Fire
Retirement and Relief Board, which
found him physically incapacitated for
further service.
The Commissioners are expected to
designate Lieut.. Ira Keck, now police
aide to Commissioner Melvin \ c.
Hazen, to be second in command of
the Detective Bureau.
