THE PITTSBURG- DISPATOH, SATURDAY,
TOO MANYJMPLOYES
For the Railroads J'ow, According to
the Labor Commissioner,
OKE-HALF THE PKESEKT KUMBEE,
Working a11 the Time WonI Accomplish
tbe Same Ends.
1TEKAGE PAI IJC ALL DEPARTMENTS
TTashixotok, April 18. Labor Com
missioner "Wright has made his fifth annual
report. The single subject treated is rail
road labor. The report shows that on June
30. 16S9, the whole number of railroad cor
porations in the United States was approxi
mately 1,718, and the mileage of these roads,
approximately, 156,400 miles. The number
of employes on all of the railroads of the
country on that date was 6S9.912.
For the purposes of the commission's in
vestigation the railroads of the country were
divided into seven geographical groups, in
which the general conditions of labor were
of a like character, as follows: The New
England group, the Middle Atlantic group,
the Central South Atlantic and Gulf group,
the Central Northern group, the Southwest
ern group, the Northwestern group and the
Pacific group.
THE EOADS INVESTIGATED.
Sixty railroads were selected, representing
all parts of the country and all conditions
of railroad labor. Connected with these
sixty roads in thee several groups there
were tound to be 241,910 employes. Upon
investigating the subject of the relations of
employes and corporations as to 600 roads
by which the real railroad business of the
country is ppriormed it was found that
nineteen roads maintain beneficiary institu
tions and a few pay hospital expenses while
men injured in the service are being treated.
A very few pay taxes for the support of
State and county institutions. Three or
four contribute to relief luads, and several
furnish clubhouses for certain classes of em
ploy es. Six companies assert that they pen
sion their superannuated employes, and also
their permanently disabled people. A few
give superannuated cmnloyes light work or
allow half-time pay; while a number make
settlements unon the permanently disabled.
Two hundred and sixty-eight companies
retain in their service permanently disabled
employes, the number o- such on the rolls at
the close of the year 1888 being 3,121. A
very large number of roads also provide
some system of technical education for the
men in their shops. A few roads have
technical schools for their employes and in
some cases for their families.
AX ABSURD RULING.
Commissioner Wright discusses at some
length what he believes to be the absurdity
of the common law rule prevailing in
Europe and America, which prohibits an
injured employe from recovering damages
from his employer when the injury is the
result of the negligence or unfitness of a
company employe.
The wage side of railroad labor is given
very fully in the report. The whole num
ber of specified occupations of the 60 roads
is 1,117. For purposes of this report these
are classified into 17 occupations. The re
port shows the lacts outlined for 241,910
employes. Of this number "'224,570 are em
ployed on specific time, as by the day or by
the month, while 17,340 are employed by
the mile, the train, the piece, under con
tract, or on commission, or a combination of
these with day work."
As to the time employed it is found that
of 224,570 employes, 56404 are employed 25
days or less out of the whole year;25,684
ore employed lrom 26 to 50 daysf 31,014 are
employed lrom 01 to 100 days, and 18,861
from 101 to 150 days. These numbers, which
constitute nearly 58 per cent of the whole
number of employes working on the roads
considered, are employed less than one-half
a year, while 42.719 work lrom 301 to 365
days, and 5,557 work more than a full year
These two amounts constitute 21,5 per cent
of the whole as working the whole year or
over.
XOT GETTING BIC1I TXT.
As to wages, it is found that over 73 per
cent are paid at rates ranging from 1 to ?2
day. The average daily rate of all the em
ployes paid by specific time on the 60 roads
is SI 64; yet nearly 61 per cent of the whole
number received less than the average rate
of all, while onlv about 39 per rent received
aboye the average for all. It is also shown
that of the whole number of employes, 101,
905 earn less than 5100 per year; 33,621 earn
from S101 to 8200 per year, and 21,517 earn
from ?201 to S300 per year.
The ji erase earnings on all the 60 roads
per year is S243. The reporl shows the aver
age daily rate of pay in each of the seven
groups of 17 occupations. Baggage masters,
tor instance, employed in Group 1 receive
on an average 51 78 per day; in Group 2,
61 58 per day; in Group 3, 51 32; in Group
4, 51 46; in "Group 5, 51 50; in Group 6,
51 79: in Group 7, 52; average. 1 63.
The brakemen in the same groups receive
$1 80 in the first. 51 73 in the second. 51 26
in the third, Si 86 in the fourth. 81 95 in the
filth, 51 75 in the sixth, and 51 96 in the
seventh; average, 51 78. The acrage pay
per day of locomotive engineers in each of
the seven groups is 53 32 in the first, 53 15
in the second, 52 90 in the third, S3 07 in the
fourth, S3 55 in the fifth, 52 79 in the sixth.
Ko average is given for the seventh.
TELEGnAPHEES' PAT.
Telegraph operators receive on an average
in first group, 51 42; in the second, 51 34;
in the third. SI 50; in the fourth, 51 47; in
the fifth, $1 57; in the sixth, Si 38; in the
seventh, S2 09. Average, 51 43. Con
ductors show a very steady rate for the
whole country, the average being 52 63 per
day.
A comparative table is given as to wages
paid railroad men in this country and (jreat
Britain. The British rates are taken from
official returns of wages paid to railway
servants oa the principal lines ia Great
Britain given by the Amalgamated Society
of Railway Servants of England, Ireland',
Scotland and Wales. This table shows that
the average daily pay of locomotive engi
neers in Great Britain is $1 46; in the
United States, S3 22. Of firemen in Great
Britain, 91 cents; in the United States,
$1 79. Conductors in Great Britain,
97 cents; in the United States, 52 63.
Switchman in Great Britain, 85 cents; in the
United States, Si 50 Flagmen in Great
Britain, 81 cents; in the United States,
SI 13. The report further shows that
224,570 individual men were employed on
an average 147 days a year each, and they
received $243 average actual earnings for
the year employed. These 224.570 men
were employed to fill 105,807 posi
tions; ih. other words, if 105,807
men had been employed on full
time they would have accomplished
the same results that were accomplished by
the greater number working on an aver
age oi 147 days each during the year. The
Commissioner, however, states that it
should not be concluded that these 118,763
men are out of employment, although it is a
iact'tbat this feature of the problem offers a
field for discussion and investigation.
W PRISON CELLS
To be Used to Accommodate ifao Prying
Newspaper Men of Washington Tlio
eennte Decide to Drop the
XnTestlff&tlon.
"Washington, April 18. The Senate
this afternoon disposed of tbe report and
recommendations of the Dolph Special com
mittee appointed two months ago to investi
gate and locate, if possible, tbe leaks by
which proceedings of executive sessions of
' the Senate became public. A. J. Halford,
of the Associated Press; George G. Bain, of
the United Press; U. lu Seckendorff, of
the New York Tribune; P. A. Depuy, of
the New York Times, and Jules Gntbridge,
of the New York Herald, declined to tell
the committee anything as to their sources
of information respecting executive ses5
matters. Afterward the committee called
all the members and employes of theSen
ate, the private and executive secretaries of
the President, and employes in the Diplo
matic Bureau of the State Department, and
questioned them of their knowledge of the
manner in which the proceedings of the
Senate in executive session, and copies of
treaties pending before it, reach the news
papers. But still the committees learned
nothing, and the active prosecution of the
inquiry was then dropped.
The testimony was printed and later the
report of the committee was prepared. This
recited the failure of the inquiry to estab
lish the complicity of anyone with the news
paper men, and it was recommended that
the latter be cited before the Senate to be
dealt with for contempt. Since that time
the committee has been practically ignored
by the Senate, the Senators generally having
become wearv of the subject.
But Mr. Dolph was determined to be
heard, and it is said he made an effort to
secure a place for the consideration of his
report on tbe programme of business adopted
by the Republican Steering Committee, but
failed, although he was himself a member
ot the committee. This afternoon, however,
upon the assurance that the matter could be
disponed of in a few hours, he succeeded in
securing a majority of the Senators to con
sider it. The report was discussed nearly
four hours and at the close the recommenda
tions of the committee were rejected by a
vote of 35 to 23. This, it is supposed, ends
the latest farce in connection with execu
tive sessions in the Senate.
ADDITIONAL EXCEPTIONS.
James C. Gray Snjs tue Sale of the Steam
bontn Wm Onjnst Appraisers to De
termine What the Captain's Interest In
Park's Mill Is Worth.
James C. Gray, one of the heirs of the
late Captain R. C. Gray, yesterday filed ad
ditional exceptions to the acconnt of the
executors of Captain Gray's estate. He
alleges that they have not charged them
selves with all of the estate of Captain Gray
which came into their hands. "Gray's Iron
Line," he stated, was included in the inven
tory at an appraised value of 550,000, when,
in tact, it was worth at least 5150,000. The
plaintiff had been informed by one of the
executors that the steamboat line was sold
bv the executors to James H. Park, a brother
of two of them, for 564,000. The increased
price was not accounted for. The sale, it
was alleged, was improper, improvident and
unjust, and a much larger price could have
been obtained for the property by the exer
cise of reasonable care and diligence. The
executors are William G. Park, D. E. Park,
Jr.; James J. Donnell and J. Painter, Jr.
A partial hearing in the matter of the ad
ditional exceptions was had before Judge
Hawkins. Messrs. Brown and Lambie ap
peared for the exceptants, D. T. Watson for
the firm of Pare Bros. & Co. and George
P. Hamilton for the executors.
Peter Sprague, the boat builder, said he
knew ot the boats of Gray's Iron line, but
bad never examined them particularly. He
thought, however, that they ought to be
worth about 5130,000.
Miner ;Scovel testified that he has been
negotiating with James H. Park, who ob
tained the boats from the executors, looking
to a purchase of them. He asked 5175,000
for the line. The Court continued the hear
ing in the case lor four weeks.
Jn the matter of directing the executors
to try and agree with Park Bros. & Co. upon
a price at which the firm should buy Cap
tain Gray's interest, the executors filed an
answer yesterday. They stated that the
firm was willing to purchase the interest,
but as two of the executors, William G.
Park and D. E. Park, are chairman and
vice-chairman respectively of the company,
it was deemed proper that the price should
be fixed by an appraisement according to
the act of Assembly. The court made an
order for the appointment of appraisers to
fix the price and terms the company shall
pay for Captain Gray's interest.
Want a Receiver.
William Best yesterday filed a bill in
equity against E. T. Steel, his former
partner in the pickle business in Allegheny.
They dissolved partnership on April 7, but
have found trouble in settling up their
affairs, and want a receiver appointed to
wind up the business.

ITS STRONG POINTS.
We have made the toilet

made the washstand larger
and added to it a splasher

mirror in landscape shape
the hand-rubbed and polished
finish the generous size and
weight of all the pieces, and
their handsome proportions.
Neither the maker nor our
selves can make much out of
it. But then it is one of the
triumphs of successful trade.
We distribute a large quantity
of goods at the closest possi

the largest possible value in a

turn it over quickly to our
