H. P. Hughart, Vice-President and General Manager of the Indiana and Grand Rapids. The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railway Co. is operating under a so-called “Full Crew” Law in Indiana. The additional men required by this law are absolutely unnecessary and do not add to safety in operation or expedite train movement. Since application of air brakes and automatic couplers I have never known of an accident caused by shortage in crews or that could have been prevented by the additional men. On the contrary have known of cases where accidents were caused by divided re- sponsibility. The question is one which should be left to the Public Service Commission, which has opportunity to consider individual gases and order proper force if more men are needed, rather than be made the subject of legislation which must apply alike to all cases and situations. I have personal knowledge that these views are held by many operating officers and train men now working under similar laws and have never known any officer to speak favorably of it. Mr. A. L. Mobler, President of the Union Pacific Railroad. We are informed that the statement is made that the “Full Crew” Bill is a benefit to the railroads. This bill has been recently defeated in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming’ and Utah, for the reason that it produced an additional tax upon the people and the railroads without one scintilla of benefit in the way of safety or protection to property. The burden of this finally, falls upon the public and the railroad, and with all the modern devices, air brakes, signals, and in many instances double track, the only effect would be to further divide the responsibility of men without any increased performance in work. Mr. B. F. Bush, President of the Missouri Pacific Railroad : We have had experience under this law in State of Arkansas and additional men required by the law are of absolutely no benefit to the railroad company or public, but on the other hand are a detriment and an added menace to train operation. This law, requiring the expenditure of money without any benefit in safety, cripples the railroad’s ability to employ men that are needed in many places in other departments, and legislation along this line will certainly make it impossible for this nation to compete with other industrial countries where unnecessary burdens of this character are not imposed. The legislatures of Kansas and Texas after a full and complete investigation of the evidence submitted refused to pass such bills. If there are benefits arising from the employment of additional men in train service they certainly cannot be general over all cases and kinds of railroads, and the question of such employment can safely be left to the public utility commission. together with a very complete exposition of the case by Hon. J. B. Olmsted, former Public Service Commissioner of the State of New-York, Second District, which follows: Dear Sir: : March 29, 1918. I hope that es will veto the bill now before you for action, known as the Full Crew bill. The things which it seeks to accomplish are, it seems to me, all fully provided for in the Public aevice Commission law. to the Commission to compel the employment on the part of a railroad of additional men. The applica:ion to which I refer was granted. Tf a necessity such as is claimed by the advocates of the Full As a former member of the Public Service Commission I had considerable experience in connection with the conditions which this bill seeks to remedy, and that experience convinced me that whenever a situation arose where safety of operation or expedi- tious handling of traffic eee employment by the Railway Company of more men the P. S. C. law conferred ample power upon a Commission to get summary action. As you have doubtless been advised, two cases involving this question have come before the Commission. In one an addi- tional man was ordered, in one an application was denied. In each case the application was made 4 a business agent of the trainmen interested, and he was afforded by the Commission, upon a hearing, every possible assistance in the ,presenta:ion of his case. I have never heard that any retaliatory measures were put in opposition against the men who made the application by the railroad companies involved, and the cases were treated of both sides of the controversy precisely as any other question submitted to the Commission to be determined upon the con- ditions present at that particular place. I think it significant that after the Commission had announced its jurisdiction in such cases (in Evans against the Erie decided in 1907), but one application since that time, so far as I am aware, has been made NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES and RUTLAND RAILROAD CO.

THOMAS, President sn erent etm Crew bill has existed and now exists,.it seems strange that the fact has not been brought to the attention of the Commission in additional cases, to the end that men should be ordered on where shown to be n A Is not the matter of additional trainmen analogous to that of at grade crossings over highways? There is no doubt that a bill ordering the railway company of the State to install flagmen at every crossing of a highway would greatly pro- mote the safety of the public as well as the employees of the rail- way, but such a measure would entail an enormous expense on the railway company. The matter has been wisely left to the dis- cretion and judgment of the Public Service Commission, and there arc numerous cases where applications have been made by town officials which have been granted, denied or compromised by the installation of mechanical Cs povrged making for safety, as the case demanded. Why should not the question of addi- tional trainmen be treated in the same way? I sincerely hope that you will leave the law standing as it is, and veto this measure, which seems to me entirely unnecessary. Yours very truly JOHN B. OLMSTED.
