BEST PAID MEN ~ ARE NOW ASKING : FOR HIGHER PAY ; iJ Qovernment Officials Fail To Find Justice In Demands Of Train Ser- ^ vice Employees. d By Judson C. Welliver in The Wash- 0 Ington Times. g Administrative and legislative au- $ thorilies in Wushington are taking a c distinctly different views of,the pies ent effort of railway trainmen to compel an advancement in their wages, from any that has been taken on former occasions. It is very apparent that the cast.' for the employes seeking highet wages is viewed with less amiability than ordinarily. In legislative eir oles there has recently been seriou talk of legislation to prohibit strikes by employes of interstate carriers, and to provide a procedure for compulsory arbitration. The impression has gained a good deal of ground, that certain favored classes of employes have for a long time been systematically aggregating to themselves most of the increases in wages. Highest Paid Cla6S Of Men On behalf of the enginemen and trainmen who are making the de mand for a large wage increase, it is urged that the higher co.?rt of living Justilies their demand Yet these men, the engineers, ilremen, conductors a*d braketnen, are the highest paid classes of railroad labor. The question being asked why an engineer getting an average wage in 191S of $5.20, should require aji increase,) while trackmen, who were getting per day. should be left out? Again, the average- wage of conduc tors in 1913 is shown by the statistics of the Interstate Commerce Commission to have been $1.39 per day. At the same time, telegraph operators and dispatchers were getting an average wage of $2.52 per day. If the increased cost of living for the $4.:',9 conductor necessitates a largo increase In his compensation. \vlmiv (loos rtoe $2.52 dispatcher come tn? No demand it being urged o> lie ' half of the operators and dispatchers, and some of the railroads have lalelv been intimating vigorously that if a big additional burden must be laid on their labor funds they would Wta to give the benefit to the poorer paid classes of employes. The truth of the whole business is that, as a whole, the railroad employes of the country are not very highly paid afl compared to other peo * pie. A few classes of railroad men are paid very high wages. The most : fortunate of all these cfasses are the engineers, ftremen, conductors and ; brakemen. Rate Rising Rapidly , Not only are these four classes paid much more liberally than other employes. but the figures show that their rate of wages has been rising I more rapidly than that of any other ; classes. lu 1914 the Interstate Commerce ! Commission's report showed the nuiuher of railroad employes for the en-1 | tire country to be 1,710,296. Out of , ibis ninuher there were tl'2 021 en gineers, <14.989 flrenu-n, f s,2ol eon-! dtictors, and 138,SOS other trainmen: h total of 311,990, or Just about one sixth of the entire number. At that same date, the number of trackmen, exclusive of foremen, was 337,4") 1. That ia, the number of comntuii laborers on the section was greater than the entire roll of en- ! gineers. firemen, conductors, and brakemen. Yet this huge army of trackmen was working for an aver age wage of $1.3H per day. while engineers were getting $,">.20, firemen were getting $2.13, conductors were getting $4.39. and other trainmen were getting $3.11 These figures are the commission's averages for the entile country. Condition Bettered Largely because they are the best ' fifirunivo/l < lucono /?r ro 11u -.? I and have been unremitting in their demands for better wages, these four ' classes have succeeded in bettering their condition rapidly and regularly, at the expense of the other classes which are not so highly organized. The trainmen, whenever they insist , on a wage increase, have, on their side, tUe tremendously potent areu-, ment that if they don't get what they ask. they rati walk out and tie up the j whole railroad system. Xo other elass of empires could do this, liecause no other is so instantly Indispensable. I low effectively the four favored classes have used their power Is . shown by the cold figures. In the ten years from 190.1 to 1912, inclusive, the salaries of general officers increased an aveiage of 17 per cent. In that same ten-year period the salaries of ^nafneers increased 24 ' per cent. During thpse same ten years the wages of general offira clerks Increa?|ed*13 per cent, while the wage? of firemen increased 32 per cent. During those same ten years th? I wages of telegraph operators and dis { patcherx increased It percent, while i those of trainmen other than c?ndu^ ; tors mor&aaed 3d ner cent. mpresslvo Statement Hrrr i? -)n ir"nr?" p:vc statement of act about railway wag> r Thar ough* tot to escape attention. Then, were . total of 37,873 employee classified s switch tender?, trussing tenders, nd watchmen. These were receivnk in 1912 an average of Jl.7?? per ay, which was actually C cents a lay less than they had hecn receivng ten years earlier. At that time there were 48,201 contuctors with whom the statistics lealt. The conductors, therefore, tore only a slightly more numerus class than the tenders arid watthoen; yet while the conductors had ad their wapop raised front $3.38 to 4.29 per day, the less fortunate law of tenders and watchmen Lad o stand a reduction trnm tl 1.70 per day. If the cost of living has been ateadly advancing for conductors. so as to ustify an increase of 117 per cent in heir wagee, it seems difficult to ex lain why that same'cost of living hould have fallen sufficiently to warant a decrease of ?, per cent in the vages of switch tenders, crossing enders, and watchmen. Take the single classification of jeneral office clerks. There ware 7,10?; of these according to th? oficial report. A much larger number han of either engineers, firemen, or onductors. These general office clerks were iaid an average of $2.21 per day in 903, ami of $11.60 in 1912; an in rease of only 13 per cent in the tenrear period. General office clerks, without ?xeption, are compelled to live in ities, where the cost of living is ^Engineers, on the other hand, are listributed Iwtwecn large towns and ?mall towns; on the average, their iving circumstances ought to make heir expenses average considerably ess than those of office clerks, yet he stati>tics show that engineers iiave receded in the ten year period in increase of 24 per cent in their ivages, making them average exactly 1". per day. while general office [dorks have received an increase of only 13 per cent, making them average $2.30 per day. One of the worst underpaid classifications of railway employes is that tjf the ,-tation agents. There are just about 40,000 of these in the country, or nearly as many as the number of ronductors. Tn 19o? station agents averaged $1.90 a day, and in 1912 they had been raised to only $2.20 a day, while in that same time conductors hat! advanced from $3.3S to $4.20. That is, the station agent in 191S \\as getting just about half the wage; of the conductor, and in ten years h< had had an average increase of T per cent, while the conductor's inl crease had been 27 per cent. Here are two of ;he most numer ous classes of railway employes Trainmen, other than engineers firemen, and conductors, nuniherei 136.S09, while trackmen numberet 337.4.".1. 1'hc statistic- show that th< trackmen were getting in 1903 at average of $1.31 per day, and in 191: an average of $!.T.o per day, an in crease of 14 per cent. (In the other hand, the classifies lion of other trainmen was getting it 1903 $2.17 per day. and in 1912, $2.9 per day. an increase of 36 per cent In perebntage, this is the largest ad vance received by any single class o railway employes during this decadt A general survey of wage cond ijons in the railway service and ii other industries, it is believed, weni show that in the last fifteen year the highly organized and favore classes of railway wage earners bav had their incomes Increased mor than almost any other class of worl Prc in tli/i - V.11- -v. ... .... vuuniij, nunc iue Lii uv more numerous, but Im* effectivel organized clashes of railway worker have probably received rather let in< rente* than other industrial worl ers in general. In view of the strong feeling th? these most fortunate classes of tl railway employes are now makin excessive and unreasonable demand attention Is now being called t never before to these general dl erepaneies. There is a strong di position to inaugurate a general ar sweeping Investigation of the who Muestion of railway wages with view to establishing some sort of pu lie regulation not unlike that alreat1 applied to railroad rates, in the i teres? of employes and public alik Meanwhile, there is a marked indi position to extend further favors those classes already most high favored. at the expense of oth< classes of employes who uppenr to 1 getting very low wages. Effect^ Cf a Tie-Up It. is calculated that If a general tl up and paralysis of all freight traff should result from the demand of tl freight trainmen for an Increase of 1 per cent in their wages, a large nur her of the poorer people of New Yor t'lty would face starvation with) tlr?? days; in other words, the? people have available supplies of foe for in>t mi: e thar. two days ahea< Otlo-r large it.e would face like coi ditions.
