Vv 2' WHO r4 fcp JLfl 1 urmm I LABOR RULES COST ROADS MILLIONS Public Directly Interested Effort to Stop Drain on ' ., Carriers' Income. in BIG SUMS FOR WORK NOT DONE Railways Asking Labor Board to Abrogate Wasteful Agreements Made Under Federal Control. "Tho entire country, Its consumers, Its farmers, lt workmen, and oven the railway employees themselves, are di rectly Interested with the railroads In cutting down railway operating expenses." This is tho keynote of the enso pro wonted by the railroads to tho United 'States Itnllroad Labor Board, now in 'session In Chicago. ' The railroads have submitted evl 'denco to tho board to show why tho National Agreements affecting railway shop labor should bo abrogated, be lieving that this Is a vitally Important step In the process of reducing op erating expenses. This step Is uot only necessary to Insure adequate earning power- to tho railroads, but will make posslblo an ultimata reduction In rates. Tho agreements were mado by tho Itnllroad Administration Just beforo tho end of Federal control. Tho sum total of tho rules nnd working condi tions provided by the National Agree ments lmvo Increased the operating 'expenses of tho railroads by hundreds ;of millions, nnd lmYO decreased tho cfflclcncy and output of tho employees Ifri other ways resulting In losses Iwhlch cannot be. calculated in dollars sandewrt. '" , .."flfc-J Ivor ' several - week the ralltMOl navo neon multiplying Instances of tho nbsurd and extravagant results of the labor rules fastened upon them by the National Agreements. In one ense cited beforo tho bonrd n machinist was paid 10 hours' wages for work all performed within eight hours. This case illustrated the effect of the rule thnt for each "call" the worker Is to bo paid flvo hours' wnges even If ho works only ten minutes. Tho case of a car repairer on the Virginian Hallway, who was recently paid over $1,000 for services which woro never rendered, nnd In addition tho snmo amount of ovortlmo as was mado by his gang, was another exam ple. In connection wltli tho rule that nono but mechanics or apprentices Bhnll-do mechanics' work, tho follow ing was cited to Indicate Its unfair ness : Five Hour' Pay for 30 Minutes' Work "Tho El I'nso & Southwestern Kail- road recently had nn onglno Fet out nt Douglas, and about tho tlmojt was ready to go to Its train It developed that a window light was broken In tho cab. It was necessary for tho foreman to cnll u carpenter to do the work thnt ho could have performed himself In a few minutes. The trnln was delayed one hour and U0 minutes, nnd tho em ployeo called to do the work was paid live hours for work requiring 80 min utes."
