Under the present law no employe
having anything to do with train op
eration is permitted to be on duty for
more than 16 hours. This does not
mean that 16 hours is a day’s work,
for the working time of employes in
train service does not even average
eight hours; it means that 16 hours
shall be the absolute maximum,
where such time might be required
because of unusual conditions.
There are some districts where the
running time of a freight train be
tween terminals is 12 to 14 hours and
the men agree to this and are paid
accordingly.
Fixing the maximum
at 12 hours would either necessitate a
change in the location of terminals or
a reduction in tonnage per train.
Either change would increase the cost
of service to the public.
