INTERESTING RAILROAD NEWS
BACK PAY FOR
P. R.R. SHOPMEN
Part of Bonus Granted by the
Federal Authorities Will
Go Out Next Week
Time clerks employed by the Penn
sy have been busy for sometime com
puting bonus due shopmen. It is
probable that some will get this back
pay in next week's, distribution of
wages. The bonus will be for ser
vices during the last two weeks of
Qclober and is in accordance with an
increases granted sometime ago by
the Railroad Administration. The pay
amounts to four cents an hour in
crease dating from May 1.
The order for granting the increase
at this time was issued too late to
make it possible to issue the checks
for all the employes at the new rate,
for it is a big task to make the
change in the rate for the thousands
of employes and to figure out the
amount of back pay coming to each.
Will Kusli Payments
This will be done as far as possible
and those who fail to get the increase
will find it included in their checks
for the first two weeks of November.
The increase was granted by the
railroad administration several
months ago, after the demands of the
railroad workers had been under con
sideration for some time at the rail
road administration headquarters and
after it was finally submitted to Pres
ident Wilson, who recommended that
a raise of 4 cents be allowed. The
men had asked for a raise of about
16 cents an hour.
Local Religious Secretary
Ends Activity at Newport
Ira P. Dean, religious secretary at
the P. R. K. Y. M. C. A., will close
a successful three weeks' evangelistic
campaign at Newport Sunday night.
On Wednesday, November 5, he will
open a three weeks' series of meet
ings at the Emma L. Simpson M. E.
Church at Paoli. He has letters
from many other cities. This will
be his second time at Paoli. '
At Newport, Mr. Dean has been
conducting a Croatian Workers'
Class before the regular meeting.
He is also having much success with
the Children's classes which are held
'alter school hours. Yesterday the
little folks brought bouquets and
fruit which was later distributed to
sick folks and shut-ins.
if arrangements can be made, a
series of new classes will be started
i at the P. It. R. Y. M. C. A., on orig
inal ideas. It is also probable that
the Friday evening Bible classes at
the local railroad "Y" will be re
sumed in the near future with many
new features.

PHILIDELPHIA DIVISION
SAFTY COM ITT EE HEARS
REPORTS ON DRIVF WINDUP
Philadelphia division safety com
mitteemen met this afternoon at the
P. R. R. Y. M .C. A. and prepared
for the windup to-night of the no
accident drive. This special activity
started on October 18 and ends to
night at midnight. While records
are not up to the standard expected,
the campaign in the opinion of local
workers has been a big success.
The meeting this afternoon was
presided_over by William Elmer, su
perintendent Of the Philadelphia
division. He called attention to,the
days which showed a falling down
in the efforts, but complimented -he
men on their good work and urged
the same close attention with a view
to preventing accidents at all times.
Reports Presented
Reports were road from the vari
ous department committees from all
over the di\ ision. The division com
mitteemen'were instructed to get in
the lina: reports early in order that
a complete report may be made pub
lic at an early date.
Among the papers presented dur
inig the c.'.mpttign was one by J. It-via
Saum, clerk at the Harrlsburg
freight station on "Safety and effi
ciency Walk Hand in Hand." He
said in part:
"No employe is efficient unless
personally interested in safety, eith
er pertaining to himself or his fellow
employes.
"This department, called the Har
risburg Freight Station Safety Com
mittee, I believe is the smallest field
on the division—that is, in the num
ber of employes listed under one
chairman. It consists of 99 persons,
24 working on piece work or tonnage
system, 22 at various other occupa
tions, such as delivering freight or
receiving ishipments for transporta
tion, none of whom have what is
called hazardous work. The balance
of the above mentioned number is in
clerical positions.
Freight Handled
"As an illustration, would state
that during the month of May, 1919,
twenty tonnage men, (excluding the
four tallymen) handled 12,256,000
pounds of freight, working 3,935
man hours. Approximately this same

"Accidents are very few, in fact
have not had one for three months,
and which I believe can he attribut
ed to experienced men and the per
sonal interests taken in safety work
by the various employes. The most
frequent accidents occurring in the
past have been to hands or feet, due
to being caught between boxes while
loading or unloading freight to and
from trucks, and the majority of
these cases the employe continued
his usual occupation but accident re
ports were issued as a safeguard and
to comply with the law.
Instruct New Men
"New men are always instructed
and not given loads to haul that
might not be safely transported to
the cars. Sprains of back or to oth
er parts of the body is another rea
son for issuing C. T. 75-C reports at
this point. Those I believe are pure
ly accidental due to feet slipping on
concrete floors and not from over
loaded trucks. Even the treacher
ous, wet, slimy concrete floor is now
strewn with sawdust to lessen the
hazard.
"On the whole, the freight station
is a congenial, safe place to 'earn
your bread by the sweat of your
brow.' and I can assure all employes
the chairman is aggressive in the
movement, specializing on accident
causes and always looking out for
unsafe practices or conditions, and
taking necessary steps to reduce
these 'accident factors' to the lowest
possible minimum."
Big Engine Order May
Go to Altoona Shops
Altoona, Oct. 31.—1t was reported
to-day that an order for the erection
of 50 locomotives had been placed
with the Juniata shops, but inquiry
at the offices of General Superinten
dent of Motive Power J. T. Wallis
elicited the information that there
was nothing that could be given out
about the matter at present.
While it was not denied that an
order for engines will be placed with
the shops, the reticence of" the offici
als to speak of it probably arises
from the fact that there is nothing
definite about the number or for what
lines they are intended.
The mere intimation of the fact
will, however, be good news for the
Juniata shopmen, for things have
ben dull there of late and quite a
number of mechanics and laborers
have been furloughed and a number
of others are scheduled to be laid off
or. Saturday of this week.
At the office of Works Director H.
H. Maxfield nothing more definite than
a rumor was known about the pro
posed order, so that no change in the

COMPENSATION
FOR MINERS UP
New Rates Show an Advance
in the Other Industries
Is Very Slight Now
Insurance Commissioner Thomas
B. Donaldson to-day announced that
the increase in compensation in
surance ratings for coal mining will
be twenty per cent, above the rates
for the present year, but that the
increase in the aggregate in other
industries will run a little more
than half of one per cent.
The new rates have been approv
ed by ,the Commissioner, who say#
that "contrary to general oxpecta*-
tion the new rates will bo very lit
tle higher on the whole than those
in effect in 1919 and that on many
classifications the rates have been
reduced in the face of increased
benefits. On some classifications
increases of ten to twenty per cent,
were made on actual experience."*
The Commissioner calls attention
to the increase of wages in many
lines in 1917 and 1918 brought
rfiany wage earners above th®
maximum of $2O a week on which
compensation has been based. "The
new rates are based wholly on
Pennsylvania experience, which ex
perience has been more favorable
on a large number of classifications
than the experience heretofore
available," says he.
In liis statement the Commission
er says: "For coal mining the
rates were reduced in 1918 to cor
respond to present level of wages.
The coal mining compensation in-
Miiance rates in effect during 1918
were no more than sufficient to
cover the cost of compensation
under the old scale of benefits as
devoted by actual experience. It
was, therefore, necessary to increase
the insurance rates for both bi
tuminous and anthracite mining by
about twenty per cent."
