J CHICAGO, April 5. The first Gov-
I eminent inquiry into wages and condl-
tions and employment of sleeping-car
porters and conductors was made here
I today by the United States Commission
! oij Industrial Relations. L. S. Hunger
5 lord, general manager of the Pullman
I Company, was on the stand most of the
I day and was questioned by Frank P.
i "Walsh, chairman of the Commission.
J In the first 15 years of the sleeping-
' ear porter's service, Hungerford said
he is paid $27.50 a month. At the end
of 15 years he. like other service em
ployes. automatically received an ad'
ance of 5 per cent, which makes his
nay $28.87 a month. In the first 10
years of service he buys his own unl
forms, but thereafter the company
takes on this burden. A bonus system
gives men wtih good records an extra
month s pay for tne year.
The men also are eligible to a relief
fund after five years and to the pen
sion list after 20 years in the employ
ment of the company, but these pro
visions are flexible and often applied
In exceptional case3. such as disability
resulting from train accidents.
Tips ot Considered. He Says.
j Mr. Walsh then brought up the sub-
Ject of tips.
r "Do you expect the public to pay the
ciiierence between these wages and
living wage?" he asked the witness.
"No, sir, 1 dont' think that was con
aidered, the latter replied.
"You thought them satisfied with
'these salaries?"
"No, I wouldn't say that; we received
Bo expressions of dissatisfaction re
sardlng them," replied llr. Hungerford
It appeared that new porters fre
r quently are tried out on tourist cars,
and receive a few dollars more wages
, than their more experienced brethren
cn the standard sleepers.
"Why Is it that these men are paid
morn tuan the mora experienced ones?
asked Mr. Walsh. "Is it because the
perquisites are more liberal on the
standard cars? Was that considered
In fixing the rate?"
"I don't know what was considered.
, J imagine the tips are more liberal on
the standard cars.
"Is $27.50 enough to pay any man for
a. months work? continued Mr.
Walsh. "Minimum wage investigations
of the employment of women show that
' they cannot subsist on less than $8 a
week."
Plenty Willing; to Take Jobs.
"We can get all the men we want at
that rate, was the reply.
"Have you considered the social ef
fect of such a wage which compels men
but recently removed from bondage to
subsist on gratuities from another
xace?"
"I am not competent to answer that.
' -Well, can a man live on $27.60?"
"I don't know, but it probably de
pends on his requisites.
The witness was asked as to the
history of the tipping system, and re
plied that It did not originate with the
Pullman comnanv.
"It seems always to have been a gen
eral condition. It didn't originate with
us. However, if anybody is deserving
of tips it is the sleeping car porter;
some of them are artists.

EARL ROGERS INDICTED
LOS ANGELES ATTORNEY HELD FOR
LETTER TO GRAND JURT.
Attempt to Inflneace Corruptly Is Al
legationPolice Chief, Accused
fey Girls, Alao I'nder Boat.
LOS ANGELES, April 5. Charles E.
Sebastian. Chief of Police, and Earl
Rogers, his counsel in the case involv
ing allegations of misconduct made by
two delinquent girls, were indicted to
day by the County Grand Jury on
charges of having attempted "corrupt
ly to influence" the grand jurors.
The charges were based on tne fact
that Rogers sent the jury a letter re
lating to the accusations made by the
two girls. Bail was rixed at J5000.
Ten days ago the two girls. Victoria
Desparte and Lucille Livingston, wards
of the Juvenile Court, appeared before
the County Grand Jury and related the
story of a ride in a police automobile.
Sebastian was summoned to the grand
Jury chamber, and according""to authori
tative statements was identified as one
or the men who accompanied the girls.
Sebastian issued a statement sub-1
sequently declaring that the charges
were the manifestation of a political
plot designed to kill . his chances of
election as Mayor of the city. This
counter charge was taken up by the
grand Jury last week and, a report
rendered declaring that the jury could
find no evidence of such a "conspiracy.
Meantime. Rogers, Sebastian's attor
ney, eent the grand jury a 22-page
letter dealing with the case. This let
ter, according to the allegations set
out in the indictments today, contained
"threats, intimidations, - persuasions
and entreaties," concerning the jury's
course with regard to the charges of
the two girls.
The threat, ' it is alleged, was con
veyed in language to the effect that
while the grand jury was not bound to
consider the side of the defense in mat
ters before It, it would be well in the
case at hand to do so before signing an
indictment for which the grand Jurors
"would be held liable both personally
and financially."
