The Alliance Herald:
W. B. Routt, stationed legislative
representative of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen at Lincoln, has
written me under date of January
26, stating that the railroad compan
ies in the state of Nebraska are
circulating petitions among the busi
ness men, stock shippers, and em
ployes and asking them to go on
record as being opposed to the pas
sage of House Roll No. ill, car lim
it bill. Introduced by Baker Jan. 14th,
with the expectation of submitting
the same to the legislature for the
purpose of defeating the bill. Please
publish this in your next IsBue, so
that the business men of AlHance
may know the true sentiment of the
men in the train service on the Al
liance division of the Burlington
railroad.
It hardly seems necessary to ex
plain that the car limit law Is the
most desired legislation that cs.be
obtained for the protection of no:
alone railway trainmen but the trav
eling public as well. It is a very
easy matter for one to place his
name on a petition and the prnvtice
of doing so is not always accompan
ied by the grave feeling of responsi
bility that ought to go with it. I do
not know how these petitions read,
but if they are aimed at the defeat
of the car limit bill, every man who
signs one of them Is standing be
twven the railroad man and the pro
tection he is so sadly in need of.
With the exception of a very few.
all the trainmen working out of Alli
ance are paying high assessments
for the maintenance or a legislative
board whose effort Is bent on the
passage of the car limit bill. The
pasonge of the car limit bill will be,
as the passage of the air brake and
I the safety coupler bills have 'been
before It. another step toward the
elimination of the wooden leg busi
ness.
It is not merely an assumption on
my part that the long trains are the
cause of a great many accidents. I
know absolutely that long trains are
the cause of many accidents and
could site a number of incidents
where they were entirely to blame
for Injuries received by trainmen.
In a letter dated Jan. 22. Mr. Routt
Informs me that the railroad com
panies are getting commercial (MM
to pass resolutions opposing the
measure. It Is my opinion that such
action Is entirely erroneous and that
commercial clubs passing such resolu
lions are overstepping their bounds.
There Is no good reason why any
commercial club should pass such a
resolution. Merchants are not put
out of business by increased freight
rates. The consumer pays it all and
the merchant merely adds "$1.35
phis .06 squall $1.50", and we don't
object to his arithmetic very much,
either, as long as he doesn't sign
any petitions. The consumer does
not object to a small increase In
the cost of an article he buys If he
knows that such Increase has made
a little safer the moat hazard of
labor. No doubt there are too many
ex-rallroad men holding membership
in the Alliance Commercial Club for
that organization to pass such a
resolution.
One of my Alliance friends inform
ed me that the petition being cir
culated says that the rank and file
of the men in the railroad service
do not desire the car limit bill pass
ed and that "we are entirely confi
dent in the ability of our railway
commission to look after our wel
fare". This Is a mistake. We have
no more confidence in the commis
sion than the railroads have. It
would be impossible to get the com
mission to dictate to the railroads,
the length of trains to be hauled by
them, even If they had the power
which they have not.
A reduction in the length of trains
to fifty cars would involve a great
Increase In the cost of the opera
tion of railroads. The commission
has allowed the railroad companies
to Increase their rates whenever new
conditions made it necessary and we
believe they will do so in the future.
It is our apln.'bn that the railroads
wJH not suffer on account of the In
crease In cost of operation. Our
j legislative board in this state went
on record as favoring an increase in
, rates prior to the opening of the
'session in 1011. Our board of 1913
: passed a resolution aa favoring a
I law subjecting all corporations to
the same regulatory powers now
(goveralng railroads. Ve are not
working against our employers. We
are faithful in oar obligation to hint,
but SAFETY must come before divi
dends and wages.
