Questions Answered
Railroad Men and Pastes
To the Killfor of the F.vcnlnb l'ubttc I.tiltttr: .
Sir I would like to say something In
annwer to tho letter of Mr. J. J. McBnery
In retard to p.iies for railway cmploo.
l.'r. McKrery claims that railway men are
out and producing, but la not every man
who earns his dally bread producing? If
not, why Is he employed? When we were
flrhtlng the greatest war In history, and
otry man and every dollar wns needed, the
railway unions, not once, but many times,
threatened to strike If their wages were not,
Increased, and any one khowa what tha(
would have meant.
Suppo'e nil of us had adopted a similar
attitude.
And then Mr. McKnory haa tho eftronteo
to hold up such men ns models of Industry
and workers for the common goon. Mall
uamrn are getting salaries far In excess
ef salaries paid for slmlUr work In other
UnM, and the hours are "much shorter. 7
have a coualn In Maine who Is ft flagman
at a crosalng and Is paid 53 a week. How
many professional men or clerks are men.
The, having spent years In working up to
their present position, nre not making S2738
a eni? If an almost Illiterate flngman gets
that amount what must skilled men and
office workers receive? And I It any won
dir that we have to remain nt homo on
recount of high railway rates?
And In addition to their high wages, rail
iimn travel floe when and whore they
illl. We would not complain If a railway
man were given free transportation to anil
from his work. This would Indeed be a
boon to tho ordinary Individual, who Is
forced to IKe In tho congested sections be
cause he cannot afford the expense of com
muting to the pleasant suburbs. The rail-
aman'a work Is at or near tho terminal,
lie does not have, perhaps, a half mile to
walk to the rtntton. as we poor mortals do,
and thin p.iy ovr fnrc. He boards a train
" lien his few hours are over and Is car
ild free far out to the suburbs. How manj
inn hae to eae all tho ear to have enough
for a little Miration trip?
Our broadmlndcd railroader, like Mr. Mc-
llnery, takes n trip every week-end. The
'Bins are full of them, "deadheads"; and
lhelr wives and re!attes flit around all the
'reek while our fares are Increased. The
few rnllrond peorl t I know who aro away
rem hum, :n to their homes on an average
uf twice a mi. nth. I venture to say there
hr hundreds of Plttshurghers In this city
Who visit their homes every other week-end.

The American silver dollar Is worth more

De Wolf Hopper clipped the poem from a

Answers Three Problems
7'o the r.Utor of the Kvcnlnu l'ubltc L'duer:
Sir Under date of March 24. three prob
lems appeared In your paper for solutions.
I herewith submit my aniivers:
First. If a man boarded a train one mile
In length at ntatlon A and entered the lasi
car. on leaving, left the front car at station
n, a distance of three miles from station A,
the man walked the length of the train, oni
mile, and rodn the distance) of three miles
between station A anil station II,
Second. The number 80 times S equal
an average pf 72: W and Ys of tho original
number 30 equals 27, plus 1, equals the
number desired 100.
Third. A man possessing $100 wishes to
buy oxen valued at $10. cows valued at fH.
.nj .iv nt r,l) cents a head. He wants
100 head for Ihe $100 and therefore buys Oft
calves at B0 cents eacni u cows at .i rani,
