E. M. Cross, formerly a brakeman
of La Grande, chairman of the adjust
ment committee of the brakemen .of
the O. K. & N. system In Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, left thla eve
ning for Chicago, where he will rep
resent the trainmen in a hearing with
Harrlman officials on the subject of
tlelng up train crews away from the
terminal stations, causing them to re
main away from their homes for long
periods.
The matter has been under discus
sion for tome time and has finally
assumed serious aspect and a hearing
has been fixed for April 1 In Chicago,
when it Is hoped that it may be ad
Justed. . .
Since the 14-hour law went into
effect In Oregon and other states the
companies' have made a practice of
Using up the crews In the middle of
a run. when the hour limit expires,
thus causing much dissatisfaction and
friction.
Under the 14-hour law the com
panies claim this Is the only alterna
tive, while . employes uuuieuu mm
lighter trains should be handled by
which they could reach the terminal
before the expiration of the hour
limit
Mr. Cross ' has been to Chicago in
the Interest of Oregon brakemen be
fore, and Is considered a capable rep
resentative. Pendleton East Oregon-
