PAY FOR RAILROAD
EMPLOYES FIXED
United States Railroad Administration Establishes New Sched
ule That Awards Substantial Increases and Which
Is Effective From January 1, 1919.
The United States raiiroad adminls-'
t rati on on April 10 issued an order fix
ing the rates of pay for railroad em
ployes, the new schedule resulting in
the aggregate in a substantial increase.
The new schedule is effective from Jan
uary 1, this year, and covers rates of
pay and rules for overtime and work
ing conditions on all roads under federal
control. , 4
Passenger Service in the territory east
and south of Chicago has been paid on
a mileage basis for some time, while in
tho tnrrltnrv west nf CMifitttn it has h(.n
?paid on a monthly basis. The new set-;
tlement places all passenger service on
all government controlled roads on a
mileage basis with one standard rate of
pay on "alt lines alike.
.MILEAGE BASIS USIYKKSAL
Passenger service in the western ter
ritory in the majority, of cases has been
on a basis of 5500 miles per month at
a rate of $187. Some lines have been
paid on an assignment basis In such
cases the mileage per month differs; the
new order will place all runs in passenger-service
on a mileage basis with a
minimum guarantee of $180 per month,
but where a higher monthly rate is in
effect the higher rate will remain. This
will have the effect of raising all runs
that are now paid less than $180 a
month, and all runs now paid more than
$180 will retain the higher rate3.
On, passenger runs that make more
than 4500 miles per month all miles In
excess of 4500 will be paid for at the
rate of 4 cents per mile for conductors
and 2.66 cents per mile for passenger
brakemen.
Runs between Portland and Pendleton
will be increased from $187 for conduc
tors, to $216 ; the brakemen drawing 75
per cent of the rate received by the
conductor.
Through freight service is . increased
by the new order from $5.04 per day of
eight hours for conductors to $5.40, with
the brakemen drawing 75 per cent of
the conductors rate.
In local freight service the : standard
rate established by this order is $5.92
for conductors, the brakemen. receiving
75 per cent of the conductors' rate. Thri
will not result in an increase in all cases
in the western territory as the ruling
local freight rate has been. S6.12 since
January 1, 1918, which rate will remain
in effect The eastern and southern
territory will benefit more in local freight
than the western territory, as their rates
were lower than in the West.
IX COMPUTISO OTKRTIME
The new basis of computing overtime
establishes a standard rule on all lines
alike, and where in the ,past various
rules have been in effect, some lines
paying what is known as preparatory
time while on other llns the men were
required to report 30 . minutes before
their -pay jegan, under ' the new order
all men in all classes of service will go
i:nder pay from the time reqnlred to
report for duty and continue until final
release at end of day or run. Passen
ger service overtime will be paid on
runs in excess of 80 miles on a speed
basis of 20 miles-per hour. Passenger
runs of less. than 80 miles will be paid
under the eight within 10 hour rule.
Overtime ra , ail road senrice.-other than
passenger, will.be paid on a speed baxls
of 12H mllee per hour. . time -m begin
when required to report for" duty and
continue to -final release at end of day
or run. Time and a half for overtime
after eight hours is allowed in yard
service only". ."-.' 1 I '

be counted as continuous service in all
cases where the interval of release from

Trainmen on other passenger runs
shall be paid overtime on a speed basis
of 20 mites per hour computed contin

section for continuous time on turn

change existing overtime rules, the ef
fective date will be April 10. 1919 : other
wise, January 1, 1919. Overtime in all
passenger service shall be paid for on
the minute basis at a rate per hour of
not less than one eighth of the daily
rate herein provided.
Guarantee Regularly assigned pas
senger trainmen who are ready for serv
ice the entire month and who do not lay
off of their own accord, shall receive
the monthly guarantee, exclusive ot
overtime, except that former higher
monthly guarantee shall be preserved.
Extra, service may be required suffi

layoff days, or before or after comple
tion of the trip. If extra service is
made between trips which go to make
up. a day's assignment, such extra serv
ice will be paid, for on the basis of
miles or hours, whichever is the greater,
with a minimum of one hour. Extra
service before; or after the completion
of a day's work will pay not less than
the minimum day. The bases of pay
for extra service apply only in making
up the guarantees. After guarantees
are absorbed, schedule provisions for
extra service apply.
When a regularly assigned passenger
man lays off of his own accord or is
held out of service, the extra man will
receive the same compensation the regu
lar man would have received, and the
amount paid the extra man or men will
be deducted from the amount the regular
man would have received had he re
mained in service, the sum of the pay
ments to the men, or man. who may be
used on the run, equaling the monthly
guarantee.
Reductions la Crews Reduction i In
crews or increases in mileage In passen
ger service from assignments in effect
January 1. 1919, shall not be made for
the purpose of offsetting these increases
in wages, but nothing in this order shall
prevent, adjustment of runs in chort
turn around and suburban service that
are paid under minimum rules, for the
purppse of avoiding payment of excess
mileage or overtime that would accrue
under these rules without reducing the
number of crews. Such runs may be
rearranged, extended or have mileage
changed by addition of new train serv
ice ; separate pools or assignments may
be segregated or-divided, provided that
crews are not taken off or reduced in
number. Added mileage up to mileage
equaling the mileage rate divided into
trie guaranteed daily rate does not
change, . take from .or add to the mini
mum day's pay, and this added mile
age is not to be construed as "increase
in mileage."
For the purpose of avoiding payment
of excess overtime on turn around runs
in passenger, service -when-any part is
over 80 miles, the railroad will be privt
ledged to rearrange runs, combine pools
or sets of runs, and may establish inter
divisional runs, excepting when this may
be ' prohibited by provisions of existing
agreements, such, runs- to be paid for in
accordance with tna mileage schedules
of this order, but in no case less than
the combination of trlp4-ates in effect
at the date of this order.. r " ..

Corn Silk! The same "silk" you see

bladder Irregularities, when compounded
with other simple drugs as In Balmwort

Balmwort Tablets contain a powerful
extract of corn silk, which quickly re
lieves the inflammation and congestion
that causes such distress -as pains in
back and hips, rheumatic twinges, ner

panied by frequent desire to eliminate,
followed by scalding, burning sensation.
The patient is compelled to arise fre
quently to relieve painful pressure, even
though a scanty flow follows. The eyes
appear ''bloodshot." the sleep is rest
less, ; and sometimes fever, followed by
chills, cause great unrest. It Is unwise
to neglect such symptoms, when a few

Is 'Bpiie Dry9 Oregon Phrkse?
Oregon Origination Is Claimed
By Adah Wallace Varan
There has been a good natured dis
cussion as to the origin of the term
"Bone Dry" as applied to prohibition
legislation. The last, claim . that has
come to my notice Is the quite far
fetched one made by Fred Lockley of
ours." who tells us that the Michigan
'dry law was named' for a Mr. Bone.
The (Michigan law having been passed
in 1917 and the term having been used
in Oregon early in the campaign of
1916. it is manifest that this claim can
not be established.
Inasmuch as the very suggestiveness
of the term has had much to da with
fixing a high standard for vigorous laws
In more than a. dozen states and doubt
less had its psychological effect in se
curing the valuable federal legislation
of 1917, it becomes a matter of reason
able ambition as to its origin.
That the term could not have been
applied to prohibition legislation prior
to 1916 is manifest from the fact that
up to that time there was none - that
could be termed "Bone Dry-" Kansas
had the most stringent law, both as to
its terms and enforcement clauses, but
the Kansas law did not provide an ef
fective prohibition against purchase out
side of state and delivery to purchaser.
North Carolina at the instigation of
the clear headed jurist, Robert Glenn,
then governor of the state, marked a dis
tinctive new trail in declaring the "place
of delivery the place of sale." thus bring
ing "out of state" orders under the ef
fective operation of state laws. This
having been sustained by the higher
courts furnished relief against the most
insidious danger to prohibition enforce
ment. Under the stubborn insistence of
a member of the dry federation, this
was made a part of Oregon "Bone Dry"
amendment and law, and "set the pace"
for later state and federal legislation.
Immediately following the claim set
up by Mr. Lockley, the writer made

a somewhat exhaustive' investigation
among those I who were familiar with
prohibition terminology and history.
Tracing the term back In this way we
find that '.n Oregon the terns was first
ueed by the chairman of the dry feder
ation. Oswald West, in addressing a
meeting of the federation In the Trophy
room of the T. ML O. A. early In July.
1&16. and later in an outdoor gathering
early in ttfe following Augupt with many
other gatherings which Mr. West ad
dressed. Having traced it so far we applied to
Mr. West, who said "I recall using the
term frequently. It seemed the correct
term to apply to what we were under
taking. I do not recall having ever
heard it applied to prohibition legislation.-
So far as I can remember, it
came out of my head, but I lay no claim
to having originated this application."
J. P. Newell, chairman of the Oregon
Prohibition State committee, says:
"Never heard the term applied to pro
hibition before 1916 and used by Oswald
West." '-
J. Sanger Fox, then executive secre
tary of the Oregon Prohibition commit
tee, says: "Undoubtedly. Oswald West
coined the prohibition application of the
term 'Bone Dry.' "
Hon. E. A. Baker, president of the
Oregon Anti-Saloon league: "I am jeal
ous for Oregon's claim to the term
'Da T" f .a A i. ..
duiio iry, as applied to proniDition
legislation. I am convinced that it had
Its origin in Oregon and sure that It was
first used by Oswald West, chairman of
the dry federation that led the cam
paign of 1916 for a "Bone Dry' state."
From outside of the state I hear no
claim to the term and no one seems to
have heard the words so applied until
early in 1917. So Oregon once more
seems to lead the procession.
GRANDMA USED. SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mad up a mixture of Safe Taa
and Sulphur to bring back color,
gloss and youthfalness.
Common garden sage brewed Into a
heavy tea, with sulphur added, will turn
gray, streaked and faded hair beautl
ly dark and luxuriant. s Just a few ap
plications will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound at any
drug store all ready for .use. This is
the old time recipe improved by the ad
dition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not
sinful, we all desire, to retain our
youthful appearance and attractiveness.
By darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compounds no one
can tell, because it does it so naturally,
so evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant.
