featherbedding Fight Is
Brought to Legislature
Br ANN H. PEARSON
Salem UP1 In the wake of
a U.S. Supreme Court de
cision, railroads brought their
anti-featherbedding campaign
before the Oregon Legislature
Wednesday night with a plea
for elimination of "an un
needcd, unwanted, excess
brakeman."
They asked amendment of
Oregon's full crew law to re
duce from six to five the num
ber of crewmen required on
a freight train of more than
40 cars on a run of more than
15 miles.
Spokesmen for Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific and
Great Northern accused the
railroad brotherhoods of per
petuating a "make -work
scheme."
They said 163 surplus
brakemen tn Oregon are cost
ing the railroads $1,750,000
a year for "useless, meaning
less, soft jobs" that contribute
nothing to train safety.
The unions, in a brief re
buttal, insisted the six-man
crew is needed for safety
They disputed the railroads
safety and revenue statistics.
The safety theme was borne
out by an audience of several
hundred, filled with railway
workers wearing name cards
with the slogan, "Your safety
is our job."
Unions to Ttilify
The unions will give their
main testimony against the
measure March 13 at a second
hearing before the Senate
Commerce and Utilities com
mittee. The railroads will gel
a brief rebuttal.
The testimony came just a
few days after the U. S. Su
preme Court upheld the right
of railroads to change work
rules to eliminate jobs. Laws
such as Oregon's, however,
remain in force.
Oglesby H. Young of South
ern Pacific said even the term
"brakeman" has become ob
solete in the 50 years since
Oregon's law was passed. He
said brakemen no longer have
anything to do with braking
trains.
Young said only six other
states require a six-man crew,
He said accident rates are
the same whether six or five
men are used.
Young said other employers
from ranchers to mill opep
ators are free to determine
their own crew numbers. He

Medford Girl Found
Fainted Along Street
A 17-year-old Medford girl
was found lying beside the
street near the intersection of
East 12th and Spencer sts.,
shortly after 8 p.m. Wednes
day, according to . Medford
police.
The girl was taken to Rogue
Valley hospital by Medford
Ambulance. The girl's mother
told officers she had had an
argument with her daughter
earlier in the evening and the
girl left the house. A physi
cian said the. girl, suffering
from hypertension, started
breathing rapidly, flooding
her brain with oxygen, caus
ing her to faint. The girl was
released to her mother.

said railroads should be al
lowed to do the same.
The railroad witnesses said
the railroads cannot afford to
keep rates competitive for
farmers and lumbermen un
less they can modernize to cut
costs.
Drain on Industry
"The excess brakeman is an
obvious drain on the railroad
industry and ultimately on
the people ... for it is they
who pay the freight bills
which pay his wages," said
A. W. Kilborn of Southern
Pacific.
He said automation and
radio equipment have vastly
changed railroad safety fac
tors in the last 60 years. The
third brakeman is busy today,
he said, only when he "as
sumes tasks that can be per
formed by one of the other
men." '
Kilborn conceded the third
brakeman could be a help in
an emergency.
But for the most part, he
xald, the idle brakeman in
fact becomes a hazard:
"Horseplay and foolishness
result out of sheer boredom."
Kilborn said it was in the
interests of the unions to help
the railroads modernize in
order to remain a competitive
means of transportation. Oth
erwise, he said, other rail
road jobs could be lost,
John T. Andrew of Great
Northern stressed modern
safety factors he said make
the third brakeman obsolete.
The rallfoads said some
Oregon trains would retain
six man crews through agree
ments with the unions.
Attorney Alex Parks of the
Railroad Brotherhoods told
the Senate committee it
would be hasty to take action
this session. He said a Presi
dential Commission spent two
years studying a similar situa
tion in 1948-49.
Parks also questioned the
motivation of the railroads.
He. said the way the bill was
drafted could leave the full
crew law in question for
dicscl trains whether or not
the legislature acted.
