employees not asking real
EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Chicago, Feb. 8.
The Executive
Committee of the Association of
Western Railways today issued the
following statement:
The wage demands now being voted
on by the railroad engineermen and
trainmen do not mean a real eight-
hour working day. They provide
solely for an increase in wages that
would amount to $100,000,000 à
year.
The public should not be misled
by statements of the brotherhood
leaders that are asking for an eight
hour day.
provide either that all shall work
even as much as eight hours a day
or that those who are now working
more than eight hours shall work any
less. Thousands of train service em
ployees now work less than eight
hours for a day's pay and those who
work more receive pay not only for
ail of the time they work but for
every mile they run.
The proposed rules would simply
change from a ten-hour to an eight
hour basis of computing wages, so
that one hour's work shall be paid
for as one-eighth rather than as one
tenth of a day's pay, or as 12% miles
instead of 10 miles.
While the officers of the brother
Their proposals do not
hoods have attempted to make the
public believe they are seeking a
real eight-hour day, they have .taken
some pains to reassure the employ
ees that no reduction in working
hours
contemplated. Nothing
could be more convincing on this
point than the following statement
by Val Fitzpatrick, Vice-President
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
1S
men, published in the January issue
of the Railroad Trainman:
"There is quite a difference" he
says, "between an eight-hour work
day and an eight-hour basic work
day. The eight-hour basic work day
(which is the system proposed by
the train service brotherhoods)
templates that eight hours shall be
the basis for a day's work, and any
time in excess shall be paid for
overtime. Under such a system there
is no limit to the hours that may be
worked."
In railroad train service a day's
work cannot be arbitrarily fixed. The
employees know this and they have
intention of changing their working
day. They are asking only the
enormous increase in wages which
would result from changing the basis
of payment so that they could
money faster.
There is not a word in the pro
posals now being voted on by the
employees that would require
to work as much as eight hours for a
day's pay. It is specifically provided
that "100 milesLor less, eight hours
less," shall constitute a day. Nor is
there any provision for a reduction in
the hours of work for any one who
now works more than eight hours.
What the men are asking for is a
reduction of 25 per cent in the num
ber of hours they must work before
they will beg'n to draw^pay for
time, this overtime to be at a'Tate
50 per cent higher than the proposed
regular hourly rate and 87% per cent
higher than the present overtime
rate.
con
as
no
earn
a man
or
over
This is made plain by article I (c)
of the demands, which reads
runs of over 100 miles overtime will
begin when the time on duty exceeds
the miles run divided by 12% miles
an hour."
as a train runs at a speed of 12%
miles or more per hour, so that the
crew is earning pay at the rate of
one-eighth of the date rate per hour
or more, they do not even ask
time, but if it runs at a slower rate
of speed they ask overtime,
rule clearly is not intended to penal
ize overtime but to accelerate the
earning capacity of the crews.
The controversy is not over a
question of hours; it involves solely
a $100,000,000 increase in wages,
