NINE-HOUR LAW IS
A NATIONAL ONE.
O. R. St N. Slightly Affected by New
Law Which Become Effective To
morrow Peculiar In That Each
- Trick la More Than Eight Hours
Rumored Strikes W1U Be Avoided,
It Is Believed Cut In Wages WUI
Be Bitterly Fought at Any Rate.
Washington, March 3. The nation
al -hour law, governing railroad
employes, becomes effective tomorrow.
The Baltimore & Ohio and a few
other roads have already adopted tht
system.'''
The jaw limits the hours of service
of all classes of train operatives, par
ticularly locomotive engineers and
firemen, train dlspatciters, railway tel
egraphers, tower men and signal op
erators.
Many objections 'to the new law
have been filed with the Interstate
commerce commission,' and threats
l;ave been made by railway officials
that the operation of the. law will'
necessitate a reduction In wages.
It was pointed out that nine hours
constituted an unusual and awkward
period, as duties of that kind have to
be performed 24 hours every day. If
two shifts of train dispatchers, tele
graph, operators and signal men each
worked nine, there would be a period
of six hours In every 24 which" could
not be covered satisfactorily, either to
the men themselves or to the railroads.
It was Indicated that tricks of eight
hours might be better for. all con
cerned, but for such a period of work
lu,-ien could not' be . paid wagef
which they would regard as adequate
.or their- needs. And, In addition, it
night be difficult to obtain the serv
ices of enough skilled men to make
up- three shifts every 24 hours on all
of the railroads In America.
Any attempt to cuf the wages of
the rial road men will be bitterly
fought by the American-Federation of
Labor and allied organizations. In
regard toihe threatened reduction,
President Gompers said: "The wages
f the railroad men cannot stand a
eduction. The cost of living has beer
ncreaslng faster than the wages
vhlch, In fact, have not been Incrcas-
ng at all. , ;. ;, ,.
