Luke Grant, special agent of the United States Industrial Commission, in an article in Chamberlain's Maga zine says in part: "Reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission! show that the average dally earnings of a locomotive engi neer in 1914 were $5.28, a fireman $3.23, a conductor $4.49 and brakemen and flagmen $3.11. The wages of ma chinists in railroad shops were $3.28 and of carpenters, $2.G7. The acuracy of these figures are questioned both by railroad officials and brotherhood leaders. The former say they are too low: the latter that they are too high. They are not strict ly accurate for the reason tnat tney are based upon the number of men on the payrolls on June 30, the end of the fiscal year, which may not be a fair average. The total payroll is taken and divided by the number of employes in each class; It is again divided by 3G5 to arrive at the daily earnings. The wages given, therefore, are for 365 days a year. The labor leaders dispute the fig ures because they wy the men act ually work more than 3G5 ten-hour work-days in the year. A case is cited where an engineer in the Chi cago district worked 4,775 hours in a year, or an average of over thirteen hours for each day in the year. They say that while wages appear high they aro earned at the expense of health and strength, by reason of the ex cessively long hours of labor. Accurate figures on earnings were obtained In the yestern arbitration hearings. These figures show the earnings of engineers and firemen in western territory to be as follows: Engineers Daily earnings $6.73, hours per day 10. days per month 22.2 wages per month $149.61. . Firemen Daily earnings $4.27, hours per day 10, days per month 19.8 wages per month $84.34. ::o:: Vallejo, Cal.
