BEST PAID MEN
ARE NOW ASKING
FOR HIGHER PAY
Government Officials Fail To Find Any
Justice In Demands Of Train Service
Employees.
By Judson C. Welllver In Yhe Washington
Timet.
e
Administrative and legislative authorities
in Washington are taking a
distinctly different views of the present
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 case
for the employes seeking higher
wages is viewed with less amiability
than ordinarily. In legislative circles
there has recently been serious
IVJA .MIFAQ
talk of legislation to promou on u?.o?
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 increase*
in wages.
Highest Paid Class Of Men
On behalf of the englnemen and
trainmen who are making the demand
for a large wage increase, it is
urged that the higher cost of living
Justifies their demand. Tet these
men, the engineers, firemen, conductors
and brakemen, are the highest
paid classes of railroad labor. The
question being asked why an engineer
get I lug an average wage in 1913 of
$3.29, should require an increase,
while traokmen, who were getting
11.58 per day, should be left out?
Again, the average wage of conductors
in 1913 is shown by the statistics
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
to have been $4.39 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 $4.39 conductor necessitates a
large increase in his compensation,
where does the $2.62 dispatcher oome
in?
No demand is being urged on bo- half
of the operators and dispatchers,
and some of the railroads have lately
been intimating vigorously that if a
big additional burden must be laid
on their labor funds they would like
to give the benefit to the poorer paid
olasses of employes.
The truth of the whole business is
that, as a whole, the railroad employes
of the country are not very
highly paid as compared to other people.
A few classes of railroad men
are paid very high wages. The most
fortunate of all these classes are the
engineers, firemen, conductors and
'hirfm mpmiy 'IT T~. lit
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
more rapidly than that of any other
classes.
In 1914 the Interstate Commerce
Commission's report showed the number
of railroad employes for the entire
country to be 1,710,296. Out of
this number there were 62,021 engineers,
64,959 firemen, 48,201 conductors,
and 136,809 other trainmen;
a 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
837,451. That is, the number of common
laborers on the section was
greater than the entire roll of engineers,
firemen, conductors, and
brakemen. Yet this huge army of
trackmen was working for an average
wage of $1.58 per day, while engineers
were getting $5.20, firemen
were getting $2.13, conductors were
getting $4.39, and other trainmen
were getting $3.04. These figures are
the commission's averages for the entire
country.
Condition Bettered
Largely because they are the beat
organized classes or railway workers
and have been unremitting in their
demands for better wages, these four
classes have succeeded In bettering
their condition rapidly and regularly,

which are not so highly organized.
The trainmen, whenever they Insist
on a wage increase, have, on their
side, the tremendously potent argument
that if they don't get what ther
ask, they can walk out and tie up the>
whole railroad system. No other
class of employes could do this, because
no other is so instantly Indispensable.
How effectively the four favored
classes have used their power is
shown by the cold figures. In the
ten years from 1903 to 1912, inclusive,
the salaries of general officers Increased
an average of 17 per cent.
In that same ten-year period the
salaries of engineers Increased 24
per cent.
During those same ten years the
wages of general office clerks increased
13 per cent, while the wages of
firemen increased 32 per cent.
During those same ten years the
wages of telegraph operators and dispatchers
Increased 14 per cent, while
those of trainmen other than conductors
increased 36 per cent.
