EXCESS CREWS
IN DISFAVOR
Various Attempts to Enact New
State Laws Have Been
Unsuccessful.
Philadelphia, Feb. 27.
Efforts of the trainmen’s organiza-
tion to force Full Crew Laws—really
“excess” crew laws—upon various
states are meeting with strong public
opposition. Farmers and business men
of Kansas made such sharp protest
that the bill before the legislature of
that state was killed. February 13 in
the senate committee.
An effort to enact an “excess” crew
law in West Virginia met with gen-
eral opposition, and the bill was re-|
ported adversely by the legislative
committee to which it was referred.
Down in Alabama a legislative com:
mittee, after public hearings upon
a Full Crew bill, concluded that the
contentions of the trainmen’s union
were not well founded and that the
measure would only compel employ
ment of extra men not needed on the
trains. The bill was consequently ad-
versely reported. ’
In Texas a new effort to get an
“excess” crew bill passed has encoun-
tered vehement opposition from the
farmers, who defeated a previous el:
fort. Out in Vashington a bill has
been agreed upon by committees of
both the senate and the house, which
in effect will repeal the Full Crew
Law of that state and leave it to the
Public Service Commission 40 say how
trains shall be manned.
The bill before the New York legis-
lature for repeal of the Full Crew
Law of that state is heinz earnestly
supporied by newsparars all over the
state, by grange and business organi-
zations, such as the Roclester Cham-
ber of Commerce, and by influential
men of aff .
The State Board of Agriculture and
the New Jersey State Chamber of
Commerce stand strongly for repeal
of the Full Crew Law of New Jersey,
with power to the Public Utilities
Commission. to Cetermine how trains
