A Bill That Seriously Menaces the Interests ' of the Railroads and the Public To the Public: - We consider it of great importance that the public be advised that a very serious menace to the interests of both the railroads and the public is presented in the Extra Crew Bills, which have been passed by the Legislatures of New York and New Jersey, and which are now before the Governors of those States for approval or veto. An absolute waste of $2,000,000 per annum in New York and of $500,000 per annum in New Jersey will result if these bills are enacted into laws. This money must be provided by the public in payment of freight and passenger charges. It must be charged out of the running expenses of the railroads, an prevents to just this extent real improvement, such as removal of grade Fagawe signals, and other measures which add to the comfort and safety of the public. This $2,500,000 represents the annual interest at five per cent. on $50,000,000 of capital. Adding arbitrarily to the number of men on a crew does not increase safety nor improve efficiency. Invest igation shows that no serious accident of the past can be attributed to inadequate manning of trains. These bills represent purely and simply what are generally recognized to be unwise labor organization measures, designed to force the railroads to employ unnecessary men. The passage of such laws as these, ie a serious, waste of the public money, encouraging idleness and promoting demoralizétion among railway employes, is a dangerous development which we submit should be highly disap- proved of by the public. It should also be disapproved of by the railway employes themselves as making it all the more difficult for the railroads to meet the con- stantly recurring demands for increased wages. _ Every train should be adequately manned. Of that there is ho ques- tion. In some cases more men are already employed than are requi by even these bills. On other trains there is absolutely nothing for the extra men to do. If any railroad does not adequately man its trains, the Public Service Commissions should have the right to prescribe what should be done. The Commissions of New York and New Jersey have ample power in this re- gard—this power the railways have never questioned. There is another feature of importance concerning this matter. This and similar bills make very serious inroads on railroad revenues. If the com- pany is solvent, such inroads deplete the surplus. at the earning of such surplus is imperative may be seen from the very large expenditures to which railroads may of necessity be subjected in repairing damages to their properties b Tg Se ge such as the floods which are now being experienced in the le West. Payments for such repairs come out of expenses, and in the nt instance these expenditures will of necessity be very large. The repairs and replacements due to the devastation of railroad property as a result of these floods constitute an unavoidable waste. The waste involved in extra crew laws, however, is not unavoidable and should be prevented as a matter of the highest public policy. We feel very strongly that the public should realize the seriousness of this situation and should make it clear to Governor Sulzer of New York and Governor Fielder of New Jersey that in vetoing these measures and leaving the subject to be dealt with by the respective Public Service Commissions they would but express the enlightened sentiment of the people of both States. a Similar extra crew bills have been vetoed by Governors Foss of Massachu- setts, Harmon of Ohio, Hughes and Dix of New York, on the ground that the Leguanse ‘should not impose any such mandatory legislation, but that the Public Service Commissions should be permitted to exercise the ample powers conferred upon them to deal with such situations. It is to be hoped that as a result of the hearing to be held in Albany to-day, at which almost every business in the State will be represented, the Gencese will decide that the settlement of this question, like others of equal importance affecting the transportation interests of the State, should be left to the Public Service Commission.
