RAILWAY PAPER
TELLSOFTHE
(From the Railway Age Gazette.)
Whatever economic justification
there may be for an eight-hour work
day in some kinds of work, is no argu
ment for its introduction in railway
> train service, where, as every one
knows, it is impossible to divide the
work into fixed periods of time. Train
employes must remain with their
trains from one terminal to another;
they cannot be released wherever they
may happen to be at the expiration of
a certain number of hours, and differ
ent kinds of trains require different
kinds lengths of time to complete their
runs. A local train with many stops
to make for loading or unloading
freight may take ten or twelve hours
to make a run that a passenger thrain
will make in three hours and a through
• freight train in seven hours.
5 But, as a matter of fact, every one
> also knows that the eight-hour work
] day has by no means been generally
I) adopted in other industries, even un
der conditions where it would be phy
sically able to do so. A bulletin re
cently issued by the United States bu
reau of labor statistics gives the hours
of labor a day fixed by the union
scales in eleven trades and in forty
seven cities located in thirty-two
states, a total of 5,548 scales or con
| tractors. This shows that eight hours
is the prescribed day in only 2,992 or
53.7 per cent, of the whole number of
- cases reported. In 2,016 cases the pre
scribed working day is nine hours or
over and in 814 cases it is ten hours
. or over. This would seem to demon
strate that the eight-hour day does
j not have the sanction of general ac
ceptance even in the trade union
scales.
i ne eleven trades mentioned are the
bakery trade, brewery and bottling
house workmen, building trades,
chauffeurs, teamsters and drivers,
freight handlers, granite and stone
trades, metal trades, mill work, print
ing and publishing, book and job, and
printing and publishing, newspaper,
and soft drink establishment em
ployes.
Other published reports of the same
bureau show the hours of labor in
eight different industries, covering the
work of 317,005 employes for 1913 and
1914. A compilation of these reports
shows that of the total only 8,259, or
2.6 per cent, worked only forty-eight
hours or less per week; while 36,426
or 11.5 per cent., worked over the for
ty-eight hours and less than fifty-four
hours; 114,442, or 36.1 per cent., work
ed fifty-four hours; 91,222, or 28.8 per
cent., worked over fifty-four hours and
less than sixty hours; 46,340, or 14.6
per cent., worked sixty hours, and 20,
316, or 6.4 per cent., worked over six
ty hours.
The eight industries included in
these reports are cotton manufactur
ing, wool manufacturing, silk manu
facturing, men’s clothing, boot and
shoe industries, hosiery and under
wear, iron and steel, and building and
repairing steam railroad cars. These
data are not for union labor alone, nor
for non-union labor, but apply to the
industries as a whole, including both
union and non-union labor.

MAINE DISTINCTLY
AMERICAN STATE
The Cleveland Leader in an article
under the head of “Hyphenates Not
Guilty” explains the result of the 1
Maine election in the following:
President Wilson and his followers,
thinking bitterly over the results of
the Maine election, cannot blame the
hyphenates for the smashing blow
dealt the administration. There are
only a few hundred voters in Maine
who are of German origin and still
fewer from Austria-Hungary.
In that state the foreign-born pop
> ulation is nearly all from .Canada or
the British isles. The census of 1910
. showed that 76,223 residents of Maine
were bom in Canada and 16,134 were
• natives of the United Kingdom. The
total foreign-bom population of the
state was only 110,562. The number
of men, women and children bom in
Germany was 1,282. Just 831 had
k come from Austria and but 157 from
■ Hungary.
It will be seen at a glance that the
feeling of Germans and German-Am
ericans about the course the president
has followed in respect to war prob
! lems and war conditions could not
| possibly have affected the result in
j Maine 'materially. As far as hyphen
j ates played any part it might have
! been expected to be in favor of the
; administration, on the theory that ■
i what the Germans and their sympa- <
! thizers have complained of should win ]
! rather than repel foreign-born citizens i
| of Canadian and British origin. <
