HE TRAINMEN'S DEMANDS
lAurk Rays Ileal Problem in Present
lHtuaiKl.t Is Practical and
Deserving One
W. Jett Lauck, who is an expert
upon questions of railway economy
and operation, writing In the New
Republic, gives some very Interest
ing and conclusive facts concerning
tbe demands of tbe trainmen for a
shorter dayr The following excerpts
are given from the excellent article,
which, but for lack of space, would
be printed In full:
"The real problem In the present
movement for an eight-hour day Is
practical one. It constitutes a
hreefold question: (1) from a tech
nical standpoint can the railroads be
operated on an eight-hour basis; (2)
f that is possible, In view of the fact
hat the employees are requesting an
eight-hour day with the present
rates of pay for 10 hours, are the
railroads financially able to comply
with the request of the engine and
train crews; and, (3) if tbe public
approves of an eight-hour day for
railroad transportation employees,
and if its adoption by the railroads
would add greatly to the financial
burdens of the transportation Indus
try, woul dthls constitute a valid rea
son for expecting the public to auth
orise the carriers to advance their
freight and passenger rates?
From a technical standpoint the
eight-hour day Is practical because
It already is in successful operation
on a consuieranu" proportion or inc
railways of the United States. Loco
motive engineers now have an eight-
hour day in through service freight
service on 5f per cent and firemen
on 2U per cent of the railroad inile-
ge of the South. In the territory
west of the Mississippi river, about 5
er cent of the total miles of road
operated have an eight-hour flay for
njrineers and i pi r cent have the
same working day for lirenien.
"Those roads which are now op
erated on a 10-hour basis will not
find it necessary to change existing
terminals in order to establish an
eight-hour day. It is acknowledged
by the employees that it would be
mpracticable to compel railroads to
hange their division points so that
hey would be 100 miles apart. Spec
ial provision is made in the first ar
ticle of their requests that so long as
the mileage of an engine crew is
quivalent to or exceeds 12 Vs miles
tn 'hour, there will be no increased
ompensation to employees for over-
inie
"In considering the cost of apply
ng the eight-hour day on transpor
tation systems where it is not al
ready in operation, the significant
point to bear in mind is that railroad
transportation employees are, as
whole, pieceworkers. Ihey are en-
paged In producing engine and train
miles directly, and oindirectly, ton
and passenger miles. The movement
of so many tonB ot freight or so
many passengers a distance of 100
miles is the standard day's require
ment as to output. With this expla
nation in mind. It is obvious that if
transportation employees can main
lain their present output of 100 train
or locomotive miles in eight hours
or less, as Is now the case in passen
ger service, the transition from i
ten-hour to an eight-hour day would
cost the railroad nothing. The men
would still contribute as much as
they do now to the movement of traf
tic, and rates of pay would remain
the same.
"During the recent arbitration
case between tne western railroads
and their engineers and firemen, the
railroads presented elaborate exhib
its which showed that the average
time of 78 per cent of through or ir
regular freight service on all rail
roads west of the Mississippi river in
October, 1913, between terminals
112 miles apart, was e(ght hours and
minuies. tne transportation cm
!loyecs. therefore, in almost four
fifths of the through or Irregular
freight service in the West, which
constitute about three-fifths of all
freight train mileage, do produce
their 100 miles, the standard for a
lay's pay, within seven hours and 30
minutes. It would follow, accord
ing to these sworn statements of the
railroads, that on slightly less than
half of the freight truffle of the West
the adoption of the eight-hour day
would require no additional labor
outlay. Additional outlay would
probably be necessary for the adop
tion of an eight-hour day on only
one-lifth of the through freight serv
ice in the West. No overtime at an
advance of 50 per cent over regular
rat'eB. however, would be paid, as
the t rattle would probably be sent
over the heavy divisions in lighter
trains at a speed of 1 2 Va miles per
hour. Under any change in operat
ing conditions which might occur,
the Increase in the total payroll of
the western railroads would be very
small.
"Approximately 70 per cent of the
local freight traffic was handled in
the West by engine and train crews
which worked longer than eight
hours each day. But local or way
freight train mileage in the West
constitutes only about 12 per cent of
the total train mileage, and as only
70 per cent of this would be below
the speed of 12 miles an hour, the
adoption of an eight-hour day in this
class of service would not add great
ly to labor cost. In mixed and mis
cellaneous freight traffic and in
pusher and helper services, and in
work-train service in the West,
where hours are long among a large
proportion of the employees, any in
creases in outlays for labor from the
adoption of an eight-hour day would
not be large, because they would be
based on only 5 or 6 per cent of the
total compensation to crews.
"In the case of yardmen, switch
men and hoBtlers, who have a defi
nite working day of ten hours or
more. It would be necessary to re
duce the working day arbitrarily,
and the railroads would face a the
oretical decrease of from 10 to 20
per cent In hours of service. Mani
festly, there would be no overtime
penalty payments, however, for work
necessary beyond eight hours a day
would be done by additional shifts.
"In the East tbe proportion of
freight trains which operate at a
speed greater than ten miles an hour
would be probably smaller, and In
the South larger, than in the West.
These illustrations from western op
erating experiences may be said,
therefore, to be representative of op
erating conditions in the country as
a whole, and would Indicate that the
financial aspects of the request for
an eight-hour day need not cause
serious apprehension.
"The attitude of employees in re
questing an eight-hour day Is thor
oughly consistent with their previ
ous arguments for higher rates of
pay. One of the fundamental claims
advanced In the past for greater
compensation has been that their
output has constantly Increased. To
the extent to which the railroads
may find It necessary to reduce train
loads in order to maintain a speed
of 12 l4 miles an hour, or an eight-
hour day, it is now acknowledged
that there may be a decline In train
mile earnings, and in the output of
employees. There will be earnings
remaining, however, arlFing from
the Increased work and productivity
of transportation employees In the
past, sufficient to compensate the
railroads fully for any difference in
labor costs. Although employees
have In recent years received some
wage advances, they have by no
means had a fair share in the reve
nue gains arising from their increas
ed productivity. They ha-e given to
the railroads in increased work and
productive efficiency, or in lower la
bor costs, more than they have re
ceived from the railroads. The
movement for an eight-hour day Is,
therefore, a consistent request by
transportation employees to share In
past gains in productive efficiency
for which Jhey have not been re
munerated not so much to share in
actual money as to gain In improved
working conditions and general well-
being."

LADIES! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY Hi
Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sago
Tea Recipe.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An ttaftier way is to get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addition of
other ingredients, costing aiiout 50 cents
a large bottle, at drug stores, known as
"Wyetb's age and Sulphur Compound,'
thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we
all desire to retain our youthful appear
ance and attractiveness. By darkening
your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does it to naturally, so evenly. You
!ust dampen a sponge or soft brush with
t snd draw thia through your hair,
taking on small strand at a time; bv
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's ' Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requisite.
It is not inteodvd for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of dlesase.
