The increases averaging from per cent. downward to 4.6 per follow: Freight engineer: firemen and helpers, 34 per freight conductors, 20 per cent.: | freght brakemen and flagmen, 39 per cent.; passenger engineers, 11 per cen passenger firemen and help- ers, 28 per cent.; passenger conduc- tors, 15 per cent.; passenger baggage- men, 38 per cent.; passenger brake- men and flagmen, 39 per cent. Requests for an eight hour day for all railroad employes and for time and a half for overtime were not act- ed on by the commission. “At the outset of the hearings,” the report says, “it was evident the mat- | f hours of service islodged deep mind. A standard day of reagonably limited length is as much a part of the measure of justice with the workingman as is his rate of wages. i “The employes have asked for the | shorter day, saving frankly that they did not want any increased rate for overtime save a means of compelling the observance of shorter hours—a penalizing of the emplovers for too {long a work d At this time, how- | éver, in penalizing the government for working their men as long as they have been in the habit of working un- der their private employers does not desire to take advantage of the two- | fold embarrassment of the govern- { 5 needs for work and inabil- ity to call, in outside men. The com- wmission does not believe the employes want to hamper the. transportation | facilities of the country in its hour of need." The report continues: “As the war takes an increasing number of men, women must in a de- | gree take the places of men. They should be cared for. Their burdens should not interfere with conditions conductive to health. Their hours should he reasonably short. Their working conditions ould be health- ful and fitted to their needs. And their pay, when ihey do the full work of men, should he the same as tha: of men. | Larze salaries paid railroad offi- cials receved the closest scrutiny of the commission, which showed thut some might be abolished. ‘cent.; cent.; | 15 per { MAINE TOWN THREATENED, | Damage of $200,000 Caused by Firt | at Westport.
