AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY
FOR THE SWITCHMEN
Award Made by Federal Hoard of Ar
bitration Forty Cent I
than lO-Hour Wage
An eight-hour day, an increase in
wages of 5 cents an hour and straight
pro rata overtime was granted to the
me:ibers of t he switchmen's union,
employed by thirteen eastern and
middle-western railroads In an
award filed in New York city recent
ly by the federal board of arbitra
tion that heard their differences. The
decision of the board has been eag
erly awaited by the railroads tn gen
eral and the four major brother
hoods of railroad trainmen for what
bearing it might have on the contro
versy between them over the Adam
son act, in which the eight-hour day
is a question at issue.
The decision says that "eight
hours shall constitute a day's work,"
gives "an increase of 5 cents an hour
on the present rates of pay," and
rules that "overtime shall be paid at
pro rata rates," to be computed "on
the basis of the actual minutes work
ed." What the Men Are J ranted
Switchmen at presort receive a
maximum hour rate of 40 cents. The
award Increases this rate to 45 cents,
so that, as explained by Judge C. B.
Howry, chairman of the board, on
the eight-hour basis they will receive
$3.50 for a day's work, 40 cents less
than they received unde r the ten
hour basis. By working ten hours
under the new rate they will receive

Mi do not imply "excessive physical

it will not be possible to make the
tual working eight-hour day effect
ve In the case of more than a small
percentage ot the switching crews"
and that "with tho exception of one
experiment the testimony was unan
imous to the effect that the efficiency
of switchmen on tho shorter work
day would be only slightly Increased,
no that .the burden of the shorter
hours would fall almost entirely up
on the railroads."
"Whllo the switchmen asked for a
10-cent increase, tho statement em
phaslzes the point that the 5-cent ad'
vance is the largest given In any ar
bit ration. The Increase was grant
ed, the neutral arbitrators explain
because of the high cost of living and
the "hazards and hardships of the
work."

"Tho Increase," they state, "Im
poses a heavy burdon upon the rail
roads, which owing to the Interstate
.0111:1 erce law, they are unable to
transfer to the shippers and thence
to the public."
They add that "It Is the duty of
ihe properly constituted govern
mental authorities to protect railway
interest In this regard, so far as It is
necessary."
The arbitrators were not unani
mous in arriving at their decision
all ho all six signed the award. James
B. Connors of Chicago, usslstaul
president of the switchmen's union,
and W. A. Titus of Cleveland, vice
president of the union, who repre
sented the switchmen on the board,
filed a minority report, " dissenting
from the awards of the 6 cents an
hour increase and the pro rata over
time. E. K. I'otter of Minneapolis
assistant general manager of the
Mlneapolis, St. I'oul & Sault Sta.
Marie railway, and T. W. Evans, as
sistant general manager of the New
ork Central, representing the rail
roads, aflo filed a minority report
dissenting to the eight-hour grant.
The board held its first meeting
November 13, lust. Public hearings
were held from that date to Decern
ber 8 and 1,496 pages of testimony
were taken. The original agree
ment to arbitrate provided for tiling
the award within thirty days from
the date of the first hearing. When
the board found it could not live up
to the agreement, a supplemental
one was drawn up extending the time
to December 20. Just about that
time the differences between the
members were still so great, It was
learned, that another extension was
arranged expiring Saturday.
The award makes no mention of
the date the new wage scale becomes
effective, but It Is suggested by rail
road officials that It would apply at
once.
Hours of Switchmen Too Ijong
"Much emphasis has been laid up
on the fact that the hours of work of
switchmen are often long," says a
statement by Arbitrators Howry una
Jenke, attached to the award. "Al
tho the standard work day has been
ten hours, frequently the men have
worked from eleven to twelve and
sometimes even longer.""
It Is Biild on hehilf of the railroad:
that the award was interpreted b
i he in as "not giving an O. K. to tit
Ada'iison law."
"This decision In the switchmen's
controversy with the railroads has an
Important bearing on the Adamson
law," It was slated by an oUlcial
spokesman for the conference com
mittee of managers of arilroads.
"It does not O. K. the Adamson
act In our opinion. The Adamson
legislation gave the men ten hours'
pay for eight hours of work or an
Increase of about 25 per cent iu
wages. The recent award gives
the switchmen only nine hours' pay
for eight hours of work or between
13 and 16 per cent increase in wage.
We get a great deal of satisfaction
out of this award."
