SANITARY MARKET & GROCERY HOLMAN & SAMUEL Phone 1811 I i i Jinnn mil ro nnoT LHDUnnULLu UUdl ROADS MILLIONS Public Directly Interested Effort to Stop Drain on Carriers' Income. in BIG SUMS FOR WORK NOT DONE Railways Asking Labor Board to Abrogate Wasteful Agreements Made Under Federal Control. "The entire country, Its consumers, its fjirinors, Its workmen, and even the railway employees themselves, are di rectly Interested with the rnllronds In ratting down ralhvuy OpSfaflM ex pi'iises." This Is the keynote of the case pre sented hy the nillnmds to the United States Uallroad Labor Board, now In tesslon in Chicago. The railroads have submitted evi dence to the board to show why the National Agreements affecting railway shop labor should be abrogated, be lieving that this Is a vitally important step In the process of reducing op erating expenses. This step Is not only necessary to Insure adequate earning power to the railroads, but wlH make possible an ultimate reductloitoln rates. The agreements were made by the Railroad Administration Just befon the end of Federal control. '1 lie sum total of the rules and working condl (tons provided by the National Agrt merits have Increased the operating exiienses of the railroads by hundreds of millions, and have decreased tin efficiency and output of the employe In other ways resulting In loss which cannot be calculated In dollars and cents. For several weeks the railroads have been multiplying Instances of the absurd and extravagant results of th labor rules fastened upon them by the National Agreements. In one case cited before the board machinist was paid m'6 hours' wage for work nil performed within eight hours. This case Illustrated the effec of the rule that for each "call" the worker Is to be paid five hours' wage even If he works only ten minutes. The case of a car repairer on the Virginian Railway, who was recently paid over 1,060 for services whl were never rendered, and In addition the same amount of overtime as was made bv his uang, was another exam pie. In connection with the rule thnt none but mechanics or apprentices shall do mechanics' work, the follow Intr wTis cited to indicate its unfair ness : Five Hours' Pay for 30 Minutes' Work "The Fl l'aso & Southwestern Hull road recently had an engine set out nt Doualaa, and about the time It was ready to go to Its train It developed that a window light was broken In tin cab. It was necessary for the foreman tn call a carpenter to do the work that he ci. aid have performed himself in few minutes. The train was delayed one hour and .10 minutes, and the em ployee called to do the work was paid live hours for work requiring 30 mln ntss." The Inefllclencv created In Indexible application of the rules contained la the agreements in question wns Illus tinted Iti the following actual case which recently Occurred on the liultl- more & Ohio Uallroad: "An engine was placed In the shops for certain repairs. Hecause of the ; revisions of the National Agreement, It was necessary that members of five crnfts perform parts of this work; formerly, the entire operation wns performed by the members of but two crnfts." $6,500,000 for Work Not Performed How the railroads of the country WttV compelled to pay almost !?0.."iiH),- ikk) in the first six months of HCiO fur service not rendered because of the effects of but one of the H'2 rules In cluded In the Shop Crafts Nutlonal Agreement wns shown In the Testi mony. This punitive pnwnont for work nev er performed uns required by a clause in the National Agreement, which pro vides that when employees are re- luiroil to check In and out on their iwn time they will be paid one hour xtrn at the close of each week. The rigid classifications of labor, hen taken In connection with the rule thnt requires that a man must have four years experience before be ing employed to perform any of the work listed In them, result In paying rates appllenhle to men who are sup posed to be fully qualified for work which does not require moil of four ears' experience. To Illustrate how the lnfloxihllltleK f many of the rules now enforced op rnte to mulct the railroads of large sums for services wlilch tn the i.b- sorue or these rules could he obtained for relatively moderate sums, evidence was laid before the 1-nbor Hoard show ing thnt three men who were nn- llov.il nt a small pumping station In Michigan, performing unskilled work, would, when classified under the rules, receive nn excess of pny amounting, to more than the value of all the wa ter pumiHd and current generated at this station. The Chicago testimony contains lit erally hundreds of lntnnrv such as these, all supporting the contention of the raiiroans mat me uii.or rules un der which they have been forced to work are such as to prevent the "hon est. elflch-nt and economical manage mcnt" demanded by the Transporta tion Act. GRANGE NAMES ITS COOPERATIVE BOARD An organization meeting of the stockholders of the Hood Kiver Grange Cooperative Exchange met at Library Hall last Saturday afternoon. Those elected to the board of directors are : O. M. Bailey, Parkdale; F. P. Friday. Pine Grove; J. C. Duckwslt, Odell; Wm. Munroe, Park ; and J. R. Forden, member at large. In discussing the meeting;. Mr. Forden says : "Other matters pertinent to t..e co operative movement were entertained with extraordinary good will and en thusiasm. At the meeting proposals of attractive locations were received. The board was instructed to take these and others under eonsideraton with a view to selecting the most desirable location possible in the down-town dis trict. Pending this decision, the pos sibility of utilizing one of the numer ous truck lines between here and Port land for delivery of goods is being con sidered. "While this marks the organization of the first grange cooperative store in Hood Kiver it is by no means the first in the state. The state grange has had for more than a year a store at Portland through which many of the local grangers have secured exception al trade advantages. Sherwood and Corvallis have been successfully con ducting their cooperative stores for a number of years. "Our sister state, Washington, is now conducting over 60 cooperative stores and five mills with headquarters at Seattle doing over a million dollar business annually. They have estab lished a National Hank at Seattle and are cooperating with labor in estab lishing another at Sjwkane. With Buch a combined purchasing power the local cooperative will secure at once excep tional advantages in the wholesale trade. "With a rousing cheer, 'We'll Stick' the members adjourned subject to an early call of the board of directors for completion of the organization." SANTA FE'S PROUD POSITION Boast Is That One Must Go. to Mexico to Find the Real American Art New The new museum of Santa Fe claims that "one must go to New Mexico to find an American architecture and on American art." The terraced houses of the Pueblos, the Franciscan mis sions, ore ingenious, for they have been produced by the environment, the native building material, and the cli mate. In Santa Fe, through the ef- ports of the School of American Ko search, there has been fostered a ren aissance of this ancient American architecture, one of the fairest results being the Museum building, or Tem ple of St. Francis and the Martyrs. Six of the ancient Franciscan mis sion churches, 800 years old, are re produced in the facade, without de stroying the unity of Its appearance; they are Aconio, San Felipe, Cochtl, Lngunn, Santa Ana and Pecos. The outlines are hard, stiff plumb lines or levels. There are no exact repetitions or parallelisms, such as mark the, California mission style. The mas sive doors of Santa Clara have been reproduced. There are cloisters and, of course, n patio. The new museum Is an art gallery, part of the Museum of New Mexico, whose priceless archo ologlcal and historical collections nre housed In the Palace of the Governors. Here are Taos and Santa Fe art colo nies, numbering about 40 artists of In ternational note.
