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

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."
Tho Inefficiency created In Inflexible
application of the rulos contained In
tho ngreements In question wns Illus
trated In tho following actual caso
which recently occurred on tho Haiti
more & Ohio Rallioad:
"An englno was placed In tho
shops for certain repairs, llccauso
of tho provisions of tho Nntlphal

members of fle crafts perform
