On turn-arounds where the single is more than 50 miles and less than 100 miles, and time consumed to make the trip amounts to sixteen (16) hours or more, 200 miles will be allowed, but if made within sixteen (16) hours actual mileage will he allowed. This not to interfere with any other mileage made on same date covered by the 100 miles or less clause constituting a day's work. Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe 11 Engineers and firemen on all through freight runs other than local, de- layed at any point more than one hour loading or unloading stock, or doing any other kind of service will be paid extra for such service, regardless of time consumed to complete the trip, at regular overtime rates; this time will not be computed twice. Work Train Service. The rate of pay of engineers in regular work train service shall be $3.75 per day, Sundays included; twelve (12) hours or less to constitute a day. For all over twelve (12) hours, overtime shall be paid at the rate of 37 J^ cents per hour. Engineers in regular work train service, when such service continues them over Sunday, shall receive pay for that day. The term "regular work train" shall be understood to mean such trains as are assigned to work train service for seven or more consecutive days, and term "irregular work train service" shall be understood to mean such trains as are assigned to work train service for less than seven consecutive days. Engineers in all work train ser- vice when called into road service on Sunday shall receive road pay for such service, and work train pay for that day ceases from the hour entering road service. Engineers and firemen of all work trains going to or returning from their places of work shall be paid on the hour basis of work train pay, provided that no cars of freight are handled excepting such as are necessary in work train service. Where from any cause engineers or firemen relieve crews engaged in reg- ular work train service, they shall receive regular work train pay while in that service, regardless of the length of time so engaged. The rate of pay for engineers in irregular work train service shall be 14.00 per day, twelve (12) hours or less to constitute a day's work. For all over twelve (12) hours overtime shall be paid at the rate of 40 cents per hour. Where engineers or firemen are called into two or more classes of service on the same day they shall be paid for the actual time or mileage, as the case may be, of the various services performed; provided that if this is not equiva- lent to a day, then they are to receive for the entire service a full day at the highest rate of any service performed. Where there are no watchmen for en- gines on regular or irregular work trains, the fireman to watch engine and re- ceive fireman's pay for same in addition to his day's pay.

On all freight trains, regular or irregular, overtime will be paid at propor- tionate rates for all time used to complete the trip in excess of an average speed of ten miles per hour. Passenger engineers and firemen vifhen delayed more than two hours over schedule time, engineers shall be paid 35 cents per hour, firemen proportionate rates; including the first two hours. In computing overtime, any flection of an hour less than thirty (30) min- utes shall not be counted; thirty (30) minutes or more shall be counted as an hour. Engineers and firemen shall be called one hour before leaving time, the caller to have a book in which the engineers and firemen shall sign their names and time called to leave; time to commence at time set to depart in caller's book, unless train leaves earlier, and end when engineers register in round house at terminals, time to be taken from round house register instead of reg- ister in despatcher's office. The same is to apply in computing time for work trains, it being understood that time delayed at terminals coming in shall be paid at overtime rates, regardless of time taken making the trip. Outgoing de- lays of thirty (30) minutes or more must be reported to the division superin- tendent for investigation. Should engineer or firemen refuse to sign caller's book, or after signing caller's book refuse or fail to report for duty without a sufficient cause, they will be subject to suspension. Article III.

Road engineers and firemen shall not be used in switching service, except in cases of emergency, and they shall receive road pay for such service, the hours of switching service to govern. Road engineers and firemen shall not be called on to perform this service when competent firemen or hostlers are available. Article IV. Firemen shall be considered in the line of promotion to the position of hostlers and engineers, according to seniority and ability in road service. Hostlers will not be required to perform any service excepting that pertaining to the care and handling of engines under their charge. At points where host- lers are required to do switching they will receive switch engineers' pay, except Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe 13 when foreman or master mechanic may want cars or engines moved in shop yards. Regular pay for hostlers shall be $70 per month; twelve hours or less to constitute a day's work. Article V. It is the purpose of this Company to hire 50 per cent, of the engineers re- quired, and to promote 50 per cent, from the ranks of the firemen, if compe- tent; and it is also understood that all firemen entering the service of the Company shall be able to read and write the English language, and that 50 per cent, of the firemen hired shall be experienced men, if the same can be obtained. All firemen promoted to road engineers must have at least three years' experience in road service as firemen, 300 calender days to constitute a year. When a decrease in business requires a reduction in the engineers' ex- tra board, the youngest promoted men will be allowed to go back into switch- ing service, and the youngest hired men will retain their position on the extra board. The promoted engineers going back into switching service will retain their rights as engineers, and they will also be required to return to road ser- vice whenever the business requires it. In case a further reduction of the ex- tra board is required, the youngest hired men will be laid off, but they will hold their rights as engineers, providing they return to service when called on by the master mechanic. It is further understood that when promoted engineers have been in road service for more than one year they are not then to receive the benefits of this article as promoted engineers, but will be then treated on the same basis as hired engineers. Article VI. When engineers and firemen have been called to go out and from any cause the engine is not wanted, the engineer and fireman so called shall re- ceive one-third {^) of a day for any fraction thereof and stand first out, except when they have been on duty more than three (3) hours and twenty (20) min- utes, in which case they shall be paid for all hours on duty for such service as called for, regardless of any other time made on that date. Article VII. The Company shall furnish hostlers at all terminal points to take engines to and from trains, except at such points as may be agreed upon by the master mechanic and engineers and firemen affected. When called upon for the pur- pose of doing extra work he shall be notified before being relieved from reg- ular duty. This is to be considered continuous service, and be paid for at a proportionate rate for all time worked. When called for the purpose of doing extra work after he shall have completed his regular work and been relieved from duty, he shall be paid for one-third (J^) of a day for any fraction thereof; should he be on duty more than one-third (K) of a day, he shall be paid for all time worked. 14 Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Article VIII. Engineers and firemen running light will be paid according to the class of train over each district. Engineers or firemen who are relieved away from their home point will be returned at once and receive one-half pay at the rate their services may represent. Engineers or firemen dead-heading from one point to another of their own volition to take regular engines or runs by right of seniority shall not claim time according to this article. Extra engineers or firemen will be placed at certain district terminals; such terminals shall be considered their home stations. The master mechanic will have the right in case of too many extra men at any terminal to change them to regulate the number of extra men needed. In such cases the youngest engineers or firemen will be sent, unless the oldest men claim the right to go. It is also understood that where extra men are transferred under this article they are to be returned to their home terminal as soon as the business wilPpermit it, unless they desire to remain, in which case that terminal ^fiH be considered their home terminal. Article IX. Engineers and firemen attending law suits and other company business shall be paid: Engineers $4 per day and legitimate expenses; firemen $2.3(> per day and legitimate expenses. Engineers and firemen on regular or pre- ferred runs will be paid for all time lost and legitimate expenses. When called on to give depositions the notary must call at round house or his home, as is necessary to find them, or by agreement they go to his office, then no compensation will be claimed in either case. When attending law suits or other company business at home stations no expenses will be claimed. Article X. No engineer or fireman, excepting those on regular or irregular work trains, will be tied up between terminal points without receiving overtime pay.. Article XI. Passenger, mixed and other runs to which regular engines are assigned shall be preferred runs for engineers and firemen, and shall be governed by seniority in road service, but no engineer or fireman having a regular run or engine shall have the right to claim any other regular run or engine, in any ser- vice, except when such run or engine becomes vacant, or in case a new run or an additional engine is put on. This is not to apply to new runs put on where such runs can be, taken care of by engines and men in similar service, when agreed upon by the master mechanic and majority of such men affected, or to engineers and firemen who desire to drop back from passenger to freight or work train service, but an engineer or fireman dropping back to freight or work train service will have no claim on preferred service again until there is a run in preferred service vacant or a new run put on. Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe 15 Article XII. When an engine goes in shop for repairs, the engineer and firemen shall be furnished another engine out of their home terminal and on regular as- signed district according to seniority, but will have the privilege of going on the extra board if they so desire, and may take their own engine back when ready for service, if put on the same district and service. This is not to apply in cases where repairs can be done in seven days, when another engine will not be furnished, but engineer and fireman can go on extra board if they so de- sire. This does not apply to preferred service where engines can be doubled, then regular men shall stay on their runs. The only exception to the above specified time will be by mutual agreement between the men affected and the master mechanics or his representative. Article XIII. Engineers or firemen shall not be required to go on duty when they need rest, and are expected to judge for themselves whether they need rest or not. When engineers or firemen feel that they require rest, and will be unable to go out, they must register the same in a book provided for that purpose when they register their arrival. Eight hours shall be considered sufficient rest; at the expiration of that time they shall be ready for service if needed on any engine. Article XIV. Firemen must not be called for the purpose of cleaning engines until after they have had eight hours rest according to the round-house register. This is not to be construed as relieving thefti from the proper care of their engines. Article XV. All engines will be run first in first out, with exception of those assigned to regular runs, or in cases of full trains of stock or perishable freight or some extraordinary emergency, when the company shall have the right to call for any engine. This is not to be construed in any way to conflict with Article 18. Article XVI. Engineers will not be required to back up at night except in cases of wrecks or extraordinary occasions. This does not apply to work trains in the performance of their duties, or to engines running for water or coal, or return- ing for broken trains, or doubling, hills. Article XVII. Engines will be rated to haul the number of cars they can handle over the district to which they may be assigned according to capacity and conditions. If at any time engines are unable to handle their rating, engineers will report same to division superintendent, who will take the matter up with the master mechanic for the purpose of having rating for such engines adjusted. When- 16 Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe ever it becomes necessary to run for coal or water, engineers will report the fact at once, giving cause for same, to the division superintendent, and note same on time slip and the matter shall be adjusted at once. Article XVIII. When- regular engineers and firemen, with their engines, are assigned to districts, they are not to be run off that district except in cases of wrecks or washouts and as provided below. Should there be more engines on any district than are needed, and there is work for them on another district, the youngest men with their engines will be assigned, and will stay on their engines while off their regular district, re- gardless of older men, and will have the preference when a vacancy occurs to return. In case the movement of traffic or other necessity requires it, engineers and firemen, regardless of their age on the district, are to run two ways out of Sealy, Gainesville and Goldthwaite; three ways out of Temple (excepting en- gines on first district of Lampasas Branch, which are to run two ways out of Goldthwaite only), and the Dallas Branch engines, and the youngest engineer and fireman with their engine on the third district, and the youngest engineer and fireman with their engine on the fourth district, to run three ways out of Cleburne only, it being understood that when they are run off their district, under the provisions of this article, they are not to be run further than the first terminal in either direction beyond their home station, and on arrival there they shall stand first out for return to their own district if they so desire, and they are not to be again used for a round trip off their district until after a round trip has been made on their own district. The above is not to be construed to give division officers the authority to use engines off their district indiscriminately, and whenever engines are run off their district, under the provisions of this article, a proper necessity must exist for doing so. Should engines be run off their district without any appar- ent necessity for doing so, the engineer so run will make a report of same to the master mechanic who will promptly investigate the matter, and such steps as are necessary will be taken to remedy it. Article XIX. When extra men catch an engine or run when regular man lays off, they shall be entitled to hold the same, having the same rights as the regular as- signed man while on his engine, until the regular man returns.

Engineers or firemen will be granted by the master mechanic, or his repre- sentative, upon mutual request of the parties interested, the right to change runs at terminal points for the purpose of reaching home, provided that no de- lay or inconvenience result to the company from such changes. Article XXI. When a change. of district or run requires men to change their residence, they will be furnished free transporation for their families and household goods to their new place of/residence. Article XXII. It shall not be the duty of firemen to draw supplies, but the firemen going out on an engine will be held responsible for engines going out without sup- plies. Firemen shall not be required to scrape or paint smokestacks, front ends or smoke arches of engines, but they must keep them neat and clean. Article XXIII. All freight engineers and firemen shall be assigned to home terminals and to regular engines out of their home stations, according to seniority in road service; this is to apply to all terminals on all divisions, it being understood that in case of sickness or other reasonable necessity engineers or firemen may exchange locations with each other upon the mutual consent of themselves and the permission of the master mechanic, and in such cases the parties exchang- ing location will retain their rights on the seniority list. No extra man shall be entitled to a regular engine on any district not running into his home sta- tion, and any extra engineer or fireman refusing to take a regular engine when he becomes entitled to it, out of his home station, shall be put at the bottom of the seniority list.

Article XXVI. No engineer or fireman shall be fined for loss or breakage of tools, or dam- age incurred by accident to rolling stock on road, or for stock killed or injured. Engineers and firemen agree to use their best efforts to avoid accidents or damage as far as possible. Article XXVII. No engineer or firemen shall be dismissed or suspended without a just cause, and no complaint against engineers or firemen by anyone to the officials of the Company will be recognized unless made out in writing. The first in- vestigation shall consist of written statements promptly furnished by all con- cerned. When statement is taken by stenographer, they shall have the right to designate an engineer or firemen in the employ of the Company, who shall have the privilege to ask questions, which, with their answers are to be em- bodied in the statements. , In case of dismissal or suspension, if any engineer or firemen thinks his suspension or dismissal unjust, he shall have a right within five days to refer his case to the master mechanic, or give an acceptable reason at the investiga- tion why he could not have done so, and he shall have a thorough investigation by the proper officers, and an engineer or firemen in the employ of the Com- pany to represent him, at which he may be present if he so desires. Such in- vestigation to be had within five days from receipt of notice of appeal, or an acceptable reason given at the investigation why this could not have been done- If reinstated he shall be paid 100 miles per day for all time lost, but if an extra man, he shall be put on the board as first out at his home station, and such pay then ceases. If not satisfied with the result of such investigation, he shall have the right at any time within ten days of the last investigation, through the master mechanic, to appeal to the general manager. If upon investigation the gen- eral manager reverses the decision before rendered, he shall be reinstated and paid at the rate of 100 miles per day for the time lost; but, if an extra man, he shall be put on the board as first out at his home station, and such pay then ceases. The only exception to the above will be in aggravated cases. Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe 19 Article XXVIII.

Article XXIX. The Company on its part and the engineers and firemen on their part agree with each other that they will perform the several stipulations and duties re- quired as provided for in this agreement until thirty (30) days' notice has been given by either party to the other requesting a change in the same. Article XXX. On the adoption of this agreement all previous schedules, rules and regu- lations shall become void. This agreement shall be in effect from and after January 15, 1893.

AprilT4, 1898. Regarding our conference of yesterday as to points which were brought up other than that of side runs, which I have embodied fully in another commun- ication, would say: Referring to the matter of hostlers for passenger train engines at Galves- ton, Cleburne and Temple: We told you that we would undertake to hostle these engines, if it could be done without employing additional labor, and the order has been given. 20 Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe We told you that we would put supplies on engines at Cleburne, Temple, Galveston and Gainesville, and would do it at Brownwood and Sealy, if it could be done without employing additional force. Referring to Article 15 of the Enginemen's Ag;:eement, which reads: "En- gines will be run first in and first out with the exception of those assigned to regular runs, or in cases of full trains of stock or perishable freight or sdme ex- traordinary emergency, when the Company shall have the right to call for any engines." It was ruled that we would not construe the handling of dead freight train as an extraordinary emergency, and that it would be applicable only to stock trains, and then only when it was absolutely necessary to run an engine away from its home terminal on account of not having another available en- gine, and in such cases, if it was physically impossible for the engineer and fireman to make the run on his engine, that we would pay him for the time lost on account of the use of his engine. (Signed) C. F. Resseguie, General Superintendent. Memoranda. G iLVESTON, April 14, 1898. As an adjustment of the questions now at issue concerning short turn- around runs, and the recent proposition of the Company to run them in connec- tion with through trips, running crews and engines through division terminals and around other crews and engines there at that time, it is hereby agreed: In connection with articles 1, 2, 15 and 18 of the Engineers' and Firemen's contract; and with Articles 2, 6, 13 and 18 of the Conductors' and Trainmen's contract, train and engine crews may be called for one or more turn-around trips between the same points between Gleburne and Cresson, Cleburne and Alvarado, Sealy and Rosenberg, Temple and Belton, or any other points within twenty miles of Gainesville, Cleburne, Temple or Sealy; and when so called may be run between the same point for more then one trip, and for the service rendered will be paid on the basis of ten hours or 100 miles for a day's work, with regular allowance for mileage in excess of 100 miles, and overtime. After making one short turn, if relieved, crews will go behind other crews at that point, and if not called within ten hours from the time first called, 100 miles will be allowed; if called within ten hours for another run, the crew will be allowed ten miles per hour up to the time called for the second run. On more than one short turn men will be considered as on duty continuously from one hour after the time they are called until relieved from duty at the divisional terminal. Crews and engines on these turn-around trips will not be run through the division terminals on any other run in connection with the turn-around when there are other crews and engines for that division there and ready for service^ When men are relieved from this service, whether they have made one trip or more, they will go behind other crews then at the division terminal. Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe 21 The service on short turn-arounds hereunder will be given to the train and engine men of the division to which the work would naturally belong when they are available. Crews in this service will not be kept on duty longer than sixteen consecu- tive uours if they claim to need rest. In consideration of the above all decisions, bulletins or other orders which in any manner change or interfere with the accepted interpretation and appli- cation of the contracts in these connections which obtained prior to March 1, 1898, are hereby revoked; and except as herein modified the several articles herein referred to will be applied as prior to March 1, 1898. This supplementary agreement shall have the same force and effect as the original contracts, and shall in no wise affect such contracts except as herein specifically set forth. (Signed) L. J.

If an employe moves of his own choice, other than for causes specified above, a reduction of twenty-five per cent, from tariff, only, will be granted. Applications for rates should in all cases be made through head of de- partment to which employe belongs. (Signed) L. J. Polk, General Manager, G. C. & S. F. Ry. Galveston, Texas, Feb. 10, 1899.

The right of appeal in proper order from local to general officers is always con- ceded, and to all organizations. No attention will be paid to grievances, unless presented in writing within 60 days after its occurrence. Article II. When not otherwise required by the Company's necessities, all freight fire- men shall run first in and first out {except those assigned to regular runs), from Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway 53 all terminals and relay stations in their respective districts.

Firemen called to make a trip shall be paid for 3 hours' time on the basis of the regular rates which they are receiving, provided the train is afterwards annulled and firemen released, and shall occupy the same position they did be- fore being ordered out. The time of the firemen shall begin from the time the train is ordered for_ as shown on the order for calling, and shall continue to the time the engine is given to the hostler at the end of the run. When road firemen are required to switch at terminals 35 minutes or more, time shall be allowed. In road service, extra or overtime will not be allowed for terminal switch- ing, delays at terminal stations, or delays between terminals (see Articles 2, 9 and 12) except such as may be in excess either of one day of 10 hours, or 100 miles. Article III. Firemen will have rights on their respective divisions as they are now divided. Article IV. Firemen shall not be required to clean fires, ash pans, or front ends of their engines at terminals of their respective runs, or at points where there is a roundhouse, providing that the runs of the engine to be cleaned covers a mileage of not less than 150 miles.

When consistent to do so, and a deficiency of firemen in road service exists, firemen in yard service will be considered in the line of promotion to road service firemen. There shall be no objection to the transferor a fireman from another division (providing the supply of firemen on the division requiring additional engineers does not meet the necessities), and good, competent men on other divisions are desirous of such transfer. When a fireman's engine goes in the shop for general repairs, the fireman will be considered an extra man, and assigned to such service as the Master Mechanic may determine. In case of a surplus of firemen, the younger in the service shall be taken off and shall do extra work, or firing. A surplus shall not be considered as existing while firemen are making 2,600 miles per month. Article VIII.

When required by this Company to attend court, they shall be paid at the rate of $2.25 per day of 24 hours and their expenses during attendance, and for all time lost while waiting the Company's orders, and for such time as they may lose while waiting to take, their runs, and for all service^ not otherwise provided for in this schedule. Article XII. Delayed time at terminal stations before leaving will be paid for full delay if delayed one hour; if delayed thirty minutes at terminal stations after arriving, one hour's time will be allowed. In computing delayed time before leaving, it Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway 55 is understood that one full hour must be consumed before time will be allowed. If one hour and thirty minutes, two hours' time will be allowed, and so on_ After arriving at terminal stations one hour will be allowed after thirty min- utes' delay, two hours after one hour and thirty minutes' delay, and so on. All construction service performed by road firemen not regularly assigned to construction, at terminal points, will be paid for at the regular rates. If more than five hours are consumed in this service, the fireman will not be con- sidered first out in any class of service except construction. Road firemen re- quired to do construction work between terminals will be paid actual mileage for miles run on freight or passenger, and construction pay for such construc- tion service at the established rate for fractions of a day on construction.

B. •» Dear Sir: — Herewith I hand you copy of instructions sent to each Mas- ter Mechanic for his guidance relative to firemen attending court as witnesses, etc., as per agreement between Mr. Clark and yourself. These instructions to take effect April 1st, prox. Yours truly, Frank Rearden, Superintendent Locomotive and Car Department. When attending court, as witnesses for the Company, firemen will be al- lowed all transportation expenses, and one dollar per day for board (when away from home), in addition to regular schedule rales of pay as hereinbefore provided. When change of time card necessitates a change of residence in order that the firemen may be at home as much as possible, they are to be furnished free transportation for their families and household goods when applied for in advance of such removal. Garnishment of wages shall not be considered sufficient cause for dismissal when investigated and found to work an injustice to party garnisheed. Firemen on switch engines are to be allowed two days' lay-off each month without reduction of pay. In months of thirty days, twenty-eight days to con- stitute a month. In months of thirty-one days, twenty-nine days to constitute a month. If they work a full month, to receive overtime at their schedule rates per day. This to apply to all points where switch engineers are allowed the same privilege. Dear Sir: The following requests in regard to the firemen and hostlers have been made by Mr. A. Dillon, Chairman J. P. B., representing the firemen of the Gould Southwest System, and as same have been agreed to, you will please see that they are carried out in every particular. First. Firemen who have been promoted to the position of road engineers, shall, in case of a surplus of engineers on any division of the system, from any cause, have preference for work, and shall be assigned to the same position 74 Missouri Pacific Railway System which they occupied prior to their promotion as road engineers, and shall re- tain their rights as road engineers when additional engineers may be required. Second. When passenger runs extend over two freight divisions, firemen shall be placed on those passenger runs according to seniority in road service on either freight division. Firemen's rights are to commence from the time they enter road service last time, except in case of sickness, when other arrange- ments may be made by the lodge having jurisdiction, so long as the efficiency of the service is not impaired. Third. When any fireman has been selected for a 'position as hostler (as provided for in letter of instructions of November 1, 1888) it shall be his duty to accept the same. Should he decline, he thereby forfeits all rights to promo- tion, and shall not be promoted until all firemen then on the list shall have been promoted. Fourth. Hostlers wishing to surrender their positions as such, and again become firemen, shall make a written application to their Master Mechanic, and. said application shall be understood as constituting a bar to further pro- motion on that division. Under the above conditions, they may have prefer- ence to runs according to their seniority as firemen, but shall not again be pro- moted upon said division. Fifth. It is understood that hostlers who held that position on the first day of November, 1888, and those who are now hostling (but have not served as fire men in road service for at least one year) have no right as firemen, and in case they wish to go to firing they shall make written application to their Master Mechanic and he shall assign them as new firemen, and they shall be entitled to promotion in order of their seniority as firemen. Sixth. Should the proper officers deem it advisable to require hostlers to again fire for a short time prior to further promotion they are to be assigned to the engine held by the youngest fireman in regular freight service on that division. Seventh. Firemen's rights are to commence from the time they enter road service the last time, unless in case of sickness, when other arrangements may be made by the lodge having jurisdiction, so long as the efficiency of the service is not impaired. Eighth. Hostlers who have served as road firemen, and have been pro' moted in order of their seniority as such, shall be next for further promotion, either for switch or road service, unless proven to be incompetent. (Signed.) F. Rearden, Superintendent Locomotive and Car Department. St. Louis, Mo., March 17, 1891. Supplement No. 2. First: In all cases when a fireman is called for service and gets his engine ready to start and the train is abandoned and e.ngine returned to roundhouse, Missouri Pacific Railway System 75 the fireman shall receive one day's pay for same and shall be listed on the bul- letin board at the bottom of the list, unless he is again called in regular turn for service during the same day, in vifhich case he will secure pay for his mile- age made and overtime out on the first call. Second. Locomotive firemen in search of employment who are recom- mended either in person or by letter by the chairman of the local committee of the Fireman's organization, will be furnished passes over division of Master Mechanic to whom recommended. Third. When passenger runs extend over two freight divisions, as pro- vided in rules adopted March 17th, 1891, and any fireman on second freight division accepts one of those passenger runs and gives it, up, he shall return to his former freight division and shall be assigned to engine or run previously held by him and shall be placed as youngest man for said passenger runs; fire- men taking passenger, runs under the above rules to retain their rights for pro- motion on their freight division. Fourth. In the matter of loss of time by firemen by reason of their en- gineers laying off, Superintendent Locomotive Department was authorized to instruct all Master Mechanics to furnish extra engineers in all such cases, when available. This is not intended to prevent the Company from laying off en- gines whenever the business does not require their use. Fifth. In the matter of suspension and reinstatement of firemen, rule 34 of memorandum of November 1, 1888, pertaining to trials in case of discharge shall apply also in cases of suspension. (Signed) F. Rearden, Superintendent Locomotive and Car Department. St. Louis, Mo., September, 1891. SUPPLEMENTAL RULES Relative to Hostlers and Firemen, Approved November i, 1892.

Men paid by the mile will be allowed actual mileage made. If the actual mileage made before they are relieved from duty is less' than twenty-five miles, they will be allowed twenty-five miles; if over twenty-five miles and less than fifty miles, they will be allowed fifty miles; if over fifty miles and less than seventy-five miles, they will be allowed seventy-five miles, excepting that eighty-five miles will be allowed between St. Joseph and Kansas City with overtime after seven hours and thirty minutes. Men paid by the mile who are called and report, but make no mileage will be allowed 10 miles per hour while on duty, with a minimum of twenty-five miles. No constructive mileage will be allowed in regular passenger service be- tween St. Joseph and Kansas City. 134 St. Joseph & Grand Island Railway Company Men paid on mileage basis, deadheading under orders, will be allowed actual mileage made, at the following rates: Engineers, 2.00 cents per mile; firemen, 1.15 cents per mile. Engineers will be allowed $4.00 and firemen $2.30 per day while attending court at the request of the Company, and when away from their home station, in addition thereto they will be allowed their legitimate expenses. Enginemen not assigned to regular runs will run first in, first out; this to be varied from only in case of special assignment. A man relieved after less than five hours on duty will be considered first out. As near as practicable, the number of crews in freight service shall be kept down to correspond with the volume of business, so they will make not less than 2,600 miles per month. In reducing the force it shall be done in the order of date of employment as engineer and fireman, beginning with the one last employed. Men will be called at terminals as designated by the Superintendent. Men who are unable, from any cause, to perform service must send notice in ample time to make other provisions, and to avoid being called. When, on account of rearrangment in runs, it is necessary for men to change their places of residence, free transportation will be furnished for their families and household goods. If an engineer and fireman have been on duty an excessive time, they may lay up between terminals. Permission to do so will first be obtained from the dispatcher, and in such cases the time laid up will not be allowed, except to the man or men required to take care of or watch engine, who will be allowed the regular rate. At terminals crews will be allowed at least eight hours' rest. Actual suspension from duty will be abolished. The Superintendent will keep the personal record of employes, and a record will be made of each occurrence which tends to indicate that a man is incompetent. In the more important cases an investigation will be made, and if the employe is then believed to be at fault, a bulletin will be posted explain- ing briefly wherein the employe was at fault, and he will be so notified. Such bulletins will be simply for the purpose of giving instructions to [other em- ployes and no names will be given. When a man's personal record, considering the length of time covered, is materially worse than the general average, he may be dismissed for the good of the service; otherwise, no employe will be^dismissed (unless in cases of in- subordination, dishonesty or drunkenness) except when it is necessary to re- duce the force. The general record of a man will be used to determine his fitness for pro- motion; everything being equal the oldest man will be given preferment. Dis- trict rights for engineers and firemen will be observed: The line between Hanover and Kansas City to constitute the first district, and between Hanover and Grand Island the second district.

Neither favor nor prejudice must be displayed by iMaster Me- chanic in the selection of men for promotion, but fair treatment and exact jus- tice must be given to one and all alike.

Norton, Chairman Joint Protective Board, B. of L. F. The following is that part of the agreement which has bearing upon the service and handling of firemen on the Atlantic System of the Southern Pacific Railway, which was entered into December 6, 1898, between the Joint Protec- tive Board of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and W. G. Van Vleck, Manager: Cleaning of Engines. Firemen will not be required to scour or polish brass work inside the cab. They will be required to polish and keep clean the numbers on the sand box, or dome, and front end, and the bell. They will also be required to wipe and keep clean the inside and outside of the cabs, keep the windows clean, and wipe and keep clean all' above the running board. (By the inside of cab, is meant to include, boiler-head, and fixtures thereon.) Firemen will also be re- quired to plumbago boiler-head. Firemen will be called by the division Mas- Southern Pacific Railway 143 ter Mechanics or Foremen for the purpose of wiping and cleaning engines, when they have had twelve hours' rest, provided they are not first out. Seniority Lists. Seniority lists will be furnished of firemen, and commencing with January, 1899, such list will be furnished (by the Master Mechanic of each division) to the Chairman of the Local Committee, and such lists will be furnished as above in January of each year thereafter, if called for. Promotion of Firemen. Rule L In force here, and which is in force on all well regulated rail- roads, reads as follows: In promoting firemen to positions of hostlers, or apprentice engineers, preference must be given to the senior fireman on the division, provided he has proven himself competent as a fireman, and has conducted himself in a man- ner to merit promotion, and has satisfactorily passed examination on his capac- ity for handling and care of locomotives, and knowledge of the rules and regu- lations adopted and enforced by the operating department. Neither favor or prejudice must be displayed by Master Mechanics in the selection of men for promotion, but fair treatment and justice must be given to one and all alike. It must be conceded and was conceded by Mr. Sargent in his interview with me on December 29, 1896, that the Division Master Mechanic is to be the judge, and it is not with you or with me to question his judgment, or to inquire into his reasons for declining to promote a man, as long as it is not shown that he was actuated by prejudice or similar reasons, and I must say that in none of the statements laid before me or Mr. Ryan, is it shown that such was the cause of failures of promotion. In order to allay suspicion that a Division Master is actuated by such motive, it will be arranged that when a man is called into a Division Master Mechanic's office, he will be permitted to make his answers either verbally or in writing, in the presence of the Division Mas- ter Mechanic and without being permitted to go out and circulate the ques- tions for the purpose of being coached. After such examination the whole matter will be submitted to the Superintendent of Motive Power for his ap- proval, and the applicant, if denied promotion, will be advised of that fact. His reasons for disapproval will not be submitted to the local or to any other committee. It would not be right for the applicant, as it would tend in many cases to his being advanced by reason of being coached before being compe- tent. Aside from this, the Company has legal obligations as to the competency of all employes, and the law requires a railroad company to be very strict in such matters. These laws must be observed, and to do otherwise than is out- lined, would rob the Company of its legal rights and defenses. This procedure will not deprive a man of a second examination. All fire- men who are applicants for promotion, will be examined in accordance with their seniority, provided they have proven themselves competent as firemen and have conducted themselves in a manner to merit promotion. 144 Southern Pacific Railway Papers Presented by Committees. It must be understood, and I now give you notice that all papers and statements presented to a Division Master Mechanic, the Superintendent of Motive Power, myself, or any other officer of the Company must be the orig- inals, and when so presented, they are not to be returned to the committee. They are the property of the officer to whom they are presented, and he is the proper custodian, and they are not to leave his hands unless referred to a superior officer for further use. If the committee presenting any paper feels that it might be required to keep such, a copy must be made before the orig- inal is presented to any officer of the Company. Such papers are matters of record, and of course, are open for examination or for copying, to the commit- tee or any of its representatives, who presented it. SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY. (ATLANTIC SYSTEM.) It is agreed and understood between the engineers of the Southern Pacific Company, Atlantic System, in the service of the road between LaFayette and El Paso, and W. G. Van Vleck, General Agent, that the following agreement is to go into effect January 15, 1888. Article I.

All over twenty-six days to be paid at the rate of $4.00 per day, twelve hours or less to constitute a day's work. All over twelve hours to be paid at the rate of 35 cents per hour. Irregular work trains to be paid $4.50 per day. Article IV. Engineers deadheading over the road in service of this Company, shall be paid $4.00 per day for each day and date. Article V.

Switch engineers will be paid as follows: Lake Charles," $80.00; Orange, $80.00; Beaumont, $65.00; Houston, Glidden, San Antonio and El Paso, $3.00 per day. Article VII. That callers be provided at terminal stations,'whose duty it shall be to call engineers for all trains (except regular passenger trains between 7 A. M. and 7 p. M.) No engineer shall be called more than one hour before leaving time of train he is to pull. All delays over two hours to be paid for at the rate of 35 cents per hour. When such delays exceed two hours the first two hours to be included. In computing delayed time under this Article, the running time of regular trains isiobe taken from schedule in effect at the time, and for irregu- lar freight trains, time to be computed on a basis of 12 miles per hour. All delays shall be reckoned from the hour train is ordered to leave, calling hour not to be counted. Authority for computing delayed time shall be taken from the roundhouse registers; fractional parts of hours not to be considered. Article VIII. No engineer shall be discharged or suspended without just cause, and if an engineer believes he has been unjustly dealt with, he shall make out a written statement of the facts in the premises and submit it to his Superintendent and Master Mechanic, and at the same time designate another engineer who may be in the employ of the Company at the same time and on the same division, for the purpose of investigating and explaining his case; and if an engineer is found not guilty, he shall be reinstated to his former position, and allowed $4.00 per day for the time he lost on such account, and in case such grievance 146 Southern Pacific Railway can not be amicably adjusted with the local officers, the Grievance Committee can appeal to the general officers, who will give them a speedy hearing. ' Article IX. We request that seniority in 'service shall have preference in regard to regular runs. Engineers having had regular runs prior to date of this contract, shall not be affected by this article. Article X. Should an engineer be called and he gets engine ready to go out, and then the train should be abandoned, he shall be paid 35 cents per hour for all time thus delayed and be first out. Article XI. We make it the duty of engineers to see that their engines are provided with necessary tools, etc., before starting out on any trip, and hence consider it very requisite that they take and deliver their engines on turn-table or such other track at terminal statioiis as may be designated by division officers, it being made the duty of division officers to see that no unnecessary delays oc- cur in the movement of engines between .their trains and such designated tracks; it being understood that where we have no switch engine, but have hostlers, that they (the hostlers) shall do the necessary switching. Article XII. We do not require engineers to do any more work on their engines than is required of them on other well regulated railroads similiarly situated. Article XIII. Firemen will be provided on switch engines in yards where tracks are in and across streets, and where there are many persons and teams crossing, it being considered by this management necessary for common safety. Where there are no streets to cross, and in yards where there is but little work, com- mon safety does not, in our opinion, nor does the service authorize firemen on switching engines. Article XIV. We ask that the Company will not assign any more engineers to each division than is necessary to move the traffic with promptness and certainty. When it becomes necessary to take any engineer off a run, the youngest on the run shall be taken off. W. G. Van Vleck, General Agent Southern Pacific Co. B. A. Pickern, Chairman G. G. C. E. A. Kingsley, Secretary. W. J. Simmons, Chas. Devoe. Southern Pacific Railway 147 New Orleans, July 4, 1888. It is agreed and understood between the engineers of the Southern Pacific Company, Atlantic System, in the service of the road between New Orleans and El Paso, and A. C. Hutchinson, General Manager, that the following agree- ment is to go into effect July 6, 1888, it being understood that Article I, of the agreement of January 15, 1888, relating to trip rates of pay, and Articles II, III, IV, V, VI and VII, explanatory of and supplementary to Article I, ap- ply to the engineers between LaFayette and El Paso only, whilst Articles VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII and XIV of the same agreement apply to the whole system. ' Article IX is changed to read as follows: "We request that seniority in main line service shall have preference in regard to regular runs. Engineers having had runs prior to date of this con- tract, shall not be affected by this article. Engineers taking branch runs through preference shall forfeit main line rights." A. C. Hutchinson, General Manager. E. E. MOULTON, Chairman G. G. Committee. Understanding of Article IX. F. V. Meyers, Chairman: Your favor of October 18th received in which you ask that I give you an understanding that future promotions to preferred runs will be made in accord- ance with your understanding of Article IX, of agreement of July 5, 1888, which you define as follows: "Our understanding of that Article is that the seniority of a promoted fire- man as an engineer dates only from the time of his permanent promotion to main line service. If an engineer is hired on August 6th and put in main line service, and a fireman who has been serving a term in the shop, although run- ning occasional trips in main line service, is on August 10th permanently pro- moted to main line service, we hold the hired engineer to be the senior of the promoted fireman.'' "We understand main line service to be all service outside of yard limits with the exception of service on branch lines and helpers." In reply to the above, I beg to say that the understanding you ask for is hereby given, and future promotions will be made in accordance with the above interpretation of Article IX, of agreement of July 5, 1888, which we have arrived at after conference this day. Yours truly, J. Kruttschnitt, General Manager. 148 Southern Pacific Railway SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY. (PACIFIC SYSTEM AND LINES IN OREGON.) Rules, Regulations and Rates of Pay for Locomotive Firemen.

If he refuses to take or fails to pass a second examination, he will forfeit all rights and be entitled only to displace the youngest man in regular freight service, taking the date of seniority of such man displaced. A fireman, if he so elects, will have the privilege of calling in a fireman or engineer from the division on which he is employed, to be present during his examination. ' Article XVII. ' The extra list of firemen shall be no larger than the business of the road justifies. In reducing the number of firemen they will be suspended in reverse order of seniority. Article XVIII.

Any fireman having taken and held a run thirty days, after notice from the proper officer that such run is vacant or open to seniority choice of firemen, without claim in writing being made for such run to the Division Master Me- chanic, by some fireman entitled to said run by reason of seniority, shall not Southern Pacific Railway 153 thereafter be displaced from such run on account of such seniority right of other firemen, except by his own wish, or by reason of said run being claimed by senior firemen whose run has been taken from him through no fault or action of his own. Article XXI. Firemen who live within a reasonable distance of the roundhouse will be called for all trains, except regular passenger trains departing between the hours of 7 A. M. and 7 p. m. Article XXII. Firemen will not be required to clean any portion outside of the cab of pooled engines in either freight or passenger service. Where a fireman is assigned to a regular engine, he will be required to clean only that portion above the running board and inside the cab, and scour only the bell, nurcher plates on sand dome and front end, and the faces of gauges, and other finished parts. No fireman will be required to present himself for cleaning an engine un- til he has had twelve hours' rest after arriving at the end of his run. Article XXIII. Where conditions will permit, a reasonable number of firemen will be used as apprentice engineers, doing shop service and extra main line running. Such shop service, however, shall not exceed a period of one calendar year. Article XXIV. A fireman having acted in the capacity of engineer for ninety days within a period of- six months shall be permanently promoted to the position of en- gineer, but this Article shall not operate to the prejudice of the senior firemen who have successfully fulfilled the requirement of Article XII. Article XXV. Coal will be broken at all coaling stations to a convenient size for firing before being placed on engines. Article XXVI.

When a settlement cannot be effected with the division officers, an appeal may be taken to the general officers, who will give such cases their personal attention. 154 Southern Pacific Railway Article XXVII. The Chairman ot the Joint Protective Board of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen for the Pacific System and Lines in Oregon will have the authority to take up with the management of the Company and adjust any and all grievances that may arise between the firemen collectively or individually and their superior officers. The chairman will not, however, be called upon until the firemen have failed to secure an adjustment with their division officials. Article XXVIII. No fireman will be discriminated against for serving on grievance boards representing firemen, and will be relieved and granted leave of absence with- out unnecessary delay. Article XXIX. It is hereby understood and agreed by and between the Southern Pacific Company, and the Joint Protective Board of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, representing the firemen employed on the Pacific System and lines in Oregon of the Southern Pacific Company, that the foregoing rules, regula- tions and schedules of pay will be in effect from and after the first day of May, 1900, and that the same will remain in full force and effect thereafter until after the expiration of thirty days' written notice, given by either party to the other, requesting a change in the same.

Rule XXXIII. If any established division is divided and any portion is added to another division, or if a new division is formed therefrom in such a way as to change the locomotive runs, the firemen on such runs shall have choice of division upon which they will remain, in accordance with their seniority, and if no change of runs is caused by the change of divisions, the men may register with division upon which they wish to establish their rights and make change when vacancies occur. XoRTHERN Pacific Railway Company ISl Rule XXXIV. Firemen will be promoted on their respective divisions virith reference to the following, the Master Mechanic to decide: 1st.

Firemen who do not present themselves for examination on ac- count of sickness, absence on duty or leave, or for any other cause beyond their control, will not lose any rights, provided they present themselves for ex- aminaiion and pass same within a reasonable time. After passing examina- tion, if a firemen proves to be incompetent as an engineer, he may at any time, within six months after he was first given an engine to run, be set back as fireman, but unless thus set back within six months he shall at the end of six months rank on road engineers' list from the date he passed his examination. Firemen once set back for incompetency, if given another trial, will, if they complete the six month's satisfactorily, rank on the road engineers' list from commencement of last trial. This rule shall not affect the present rank of en- einemen. Rule XXXVI. In event of reduction in force promoted men will be set back in the line in which they were advanced. Firemen failing to pass examination shall retain their rank as firemen. The management reserves the right to hire such en- gineers as the necessities of the service require. Rule XXXVII. In case of lack of force on one division and surplus on another, firemen may be transferred temporarily and shall lose no rights on original division, provided they return within six (6) months.

Rule XXX\'III. In the employment of hostlers, senior firemen on the respective divisions shall have preference and shall retain their seniority rights, except in cases where it is practicable for one man to perform hostler's duties in connection with other duties to which he may be assigned. There shall be a fixed rate of compensation of S2.35 per day. Vacancies will be bulletined. Firemen apply- 182 Northern Pacific Railway Company ing for, and assigned to, hostlers' positions can not exercise any further senior- ity rights and will not be assigned to any other service, in less than six months, except by sanction of the Master Mechanic. Hostlers will be expected to do shop and roundhouse switching if required, and to perform any duty that can properly be assigned to them. Rights to Runs. Rule XXXIX. Firemen not assigned to regular runs or mountain service will run first in first out, on the district or division to which they are assigned. Rule XL. Firemen will have seniority rights to runs on their respective divisions, including branches, when there is a vacancy. A change of time card or of numbers of trains does not create a vacancy. Rule XLI. Firemen on extra list will run first in first out. An extra man assigned to an engine to fill a temporary vacancy will hold such engine until the man regularly assigned returns to duty.

When less than thirty minutes is allowed, they will be paid for one hour extra at overtime rates. 2. When enginemen on road engines are required to perform switching service before commencement or after end of any run of 100 miles or over in length, they will be paid for same at overtime rates above named for road en- gines, in addition to pay for trip. On runs of less than 100 miles, if made in less than ten hours, enginemen may be required to perform terminal or other work, in order to give an equivalent for the balance of the ten hours' service. . 3. The Company reserves the right at points where hostlers are employed to require enginemen to receive their engines from hostlers on the roundhouse lead or other place designated by the Division Master Mechanic or Superin- tendent, and at the expiration of runs, to coal and water their engines, when coal chutes and water tanks are on main line, and deliver them on such round- house lead or other designated track. It is agreed that if conditions at any point make it necessary to consume • more than thirty minutes in coaling and watering engines, overtime will be paid as per schedule. It is also agreed that where enginemen are required to hostle their own en- gines, an arbitrary allowance of thirty minutes or five miles at schedule rates will be allowed. 4. When enginemen of switching engines are required to do road work, that is, to run over main line outside of yard limits, they will be paid at road rates for such service, and a day's work composed in part of switching service and in part of such road service will be paid for as follows: Great Northern Railway Company 185 For the number of hours engaged in switching service at the rate named in this schedule for such service. For the road service at the rate named for such service. It being understood that the pay for such road service shall cover pay for actual miles run or hours worked, computed in accordance with rules herein governing computation of road time. Incase of dispute regarding the classification of any work under this rule, the General Superintendent shall decide. 5. For transfer work or other special service that cannot be specifically classified under thjs schedule, special agreements will be made from time to time between the Company's officers and the men interested. 6. Enginemen assigned to snow plow service will be paid at schedule rate for each calendar day so held in readiness for use. While on duty in such service they will be paid for lime or mileage made at schedule rate of pay. 7. Engineers running rotary snow plow will receive $4.50 per day of ten hours or less. Locomotive engineers to have preference. 8. Enginemen's time will commence one hour after they sign the call- book, and will end at time designated on roundhouse register as arriving time. All enginemen's arriving time will be taken from the roundhouse register, and not from conductors' register or train sheet, except when engines are taken by hostlers. In such cases, conductors' register or train sheet will govern. 9. Enginemen will be called as nearly as practicable one hour before they are required to go on duty. Provided, that if for any reason enginemen ask to be called more than one hour before going on duty, they will not receive additional pay on that account. 10. Engineers attending court in behalf of the Company will be paid $5.00 per day, and will pay their own expenses. 11. On short runs, where time or mileage aggregates less than twenty-one days per month, enginemen will be allowed pay at the rate of twenty-one days per month, at schedule rate of pay. 12. Enginemen called and held waiting beyond the time they are speci- fied to leave will, if train be abandoned before the expiration of five hours, re- ceive one-half day's pay and stand first out, but if train is not abandoned be- fore the expiration of five'hours, they will receive one day's pay and stand last out. 13. When enginemen are held from their turn or train for special service on a run, they will be paid not less than they would have received had they remained on their regular runs, and if held at a point to await the return of such train, they will be paid at same rate while so held. 14. Enginemen having regular runs, deadheading on Company business, will be paid not less than the amount made on their regular runs, but engine- 186 Great Northern Railway Company men not having regular runs, or where their runs are abandoned, will be paid only half mileage. In no case will pay while deadheading be in excess of pay for regular run. 15. When engines are tied up between terminals, definite instructions will be issued in regard to disposiiion of engine crew, and if held on duty watching engines, enginemen will be paid continuous time for same at sched- ule rates. 16. Enginemen held preparing engines for road service after they have been turned out of shop, will be paid at schedule rate. When engines are held for repairs, enginemen will not be held with engines. 17. Enginemen on work trains will be paid as per rule No. 1, except that while assigned to such service they are guaranteed a minimum of ten hours' pay for every calendar day. When work train crews are required to move their engines at night, after having completed the day and work pertaining thereto, they will be paid actual mileage at schedule rate for such movements. Under this rule it is expected that engineers will make all necessary re- pairs to their engines on lay-over days, and firemen assigned to work service will be expected to to do all necessary cleaning on their engines. 18. In case enginemen are required to perform work on their engines after completion of trip, they shall be paid for actual time so occupied at schedule rates. This not to apply lo the usual work required of enginemen having assigned engines or otherwise covered in this schedule. 19. Enginemen running large snow plows that they cannot see over from enginemen's seat will not be required to pull trains, except in case of emer- gency. 20. When regular switch engines and yard crews are used, there shall be a switch engineer and fireman assigned. When road men are temporarily as- signed to yard service, the youngest available men will be used. 21. All time allowances to engineers must includfe firemen who are with them._ Engineers are required to account for firemen's time with their own. 22. When enginemen are transferred from one division to another at the request of the Company, they shall be returned to tfieir own division within six months, or before men are hired or promoted. 23. Men will not be held on divisions or districts other than their own when business decreases to the point where it can be handled by the men hold- ing rights there. 24. When men are transferred at their own request, they will be given six months in which to determine whether to retain rights on original district or division, or acquire rights on division to which they are transfetred. Such Great Xorttiern Railway Co^rPA^•v 187 requests and decisions to be made in writing. When enginemen are trans- ferred at the Company's request, the youngest men available will be chosen. 25. In case of an increase of business within the limits of any one of the enginemen's divisions defined herein, enginemen may upon request be trans- ferred from one district to another before men are hired or promoted, and will be returned to original district when business decreases to the volume prevail- ing when transfer was made. 26. The FIRST DIVISION shall be known to consist of the Terminals Division, the Willmar Division and Willmar & Sioux Falls Railway, the St. Cloud and Fergus Falls Division, and the Breckenridge Division, and will be divided into districts as follows: Fergus Falls Division. First District — St. Paul to Melrose and branches. Second District — Melrose to Barnesville and branches. Willmar Division and Willmar & Sioux Falls Railway. First District — St. Paul to Willmar and branches. Second District — Willmar to Garretson and branches, including Yankton Line. Third District— Garretson to Sioux City and branches. Fourth District— Sioux City to O'Neill and branches. Breckenridge Division. First District— Willmar to Breckenridge and branches. Second District — Breckenridge to Larimore and branches.

First District— Barnesville to Grand Forks, via Fargo and branches. Second District— Grand Forks to Neche and branches. Third District— Barnesville and Wahpeton to Carman and branches. Fourth District— Carman to St. Vincent and branches. Dakota Division. First District— Cass Lake to Larimore and branches. Second District— Larimore to Minot and branches. The THIRD DIVISION shall be known to consist of the Montana Division, and will be divided into districts as follows: First District— Minot to Williston and branches. Second District — Williston to Glasgow arid branches. 188 Great Northern Railway Company Third District — Glasgow to Havre and branches. Fourth District — Havre to Cut Bank and branches. Fifth District — Havre to Great Falls and branches. The FOURTH DIVISION shall be known to consist of the Kalispell Division, and will be divided into districts as follows: First District — Cut Bank to Kalispell and branches. Second District — Kalispell to Troy and branches. Third District — Troy to Spokane and branches. The FIFTH DIVISION shall be known to consist of the Cascade Division, and will be divided into districts as follows: First District — Spokane to Wilson Creek and branches. Second District^Wilson Creek to Leavenworth and branches. Third District — Leavenworth to Everett and branches. Fourth District— Everett to Seattle and branches. Fifth District — Everett to Brownsville and branches. Enginemen on freight trains will as far as practicable run first in first out on their respective districts, except on districts where other arrangements are agreed upon by the men concerned and the Division Master Mechanic or Superintendent. On passenger trains enginemen may run over one or more districts. 27. Enginemen senior in service will have preference to run on their re- spective divisions. Preference runs are understood to include passenger trains, mixed trains and regular freight trains on branch lines. 28. At any point where there is enough extra passenger service tcvjustify such service being considered a preference job, the oldest freight man on the division will be entitled to same. 29. Enginemen accepting official positions in the Company's service, or employed by Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers or Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen, with the Company's approval, will retain their rights on En- gineers' or Firemen's lists. 30. When the business of the Company will permit, enginemen will be granted leave of absence for periods not exceeding six months, and will hold their rights on Engineers' or Firemens' lists during that time. This will not be granted more often than once in two years, except when required in slack time for the purpose of securing work elsewhere. 31. Enginemen will not be suspended nor discharged without cause, and if withheld from service for investigation of charges against them, and found guiltless, they will be paid for time lost at following rates: Road engineers, $4.00 per day. Great Northern Railway Company 189 Switch engineers, 13.00 per day. Road firemen, $2.40 per day. Switch firemen, S2.00 per day. 32. Lists of engineers and firemen will be kept in the records of the Com- pany, showing the age of the men in the different classes of service, and these lists will be checked and corrected from time to time by the Company's officers and enginemen's committees. 33. Hired men will take date as engineers or firemen from the date they make their first trip, and promoted men will rank as engineers or firemen, as the case may be, from the date they make their first trip, provided that this rule shall not be cbnstrued so as to prevent any engineman from taking his proper rank by reason of temporary absence, not caused by his own fault. 34. In case of decrease in business, necessitating a reduction in the num- ber of engineers, the men will be reduced from road to yard service, in accord- ance with their age in the Company's service, the youngest men in the service being first reduced. 35. In transferring engineers from yard service to road service, the en- gineer oldest in the Company's service will be entitled to promotion first. It is understood, however, that in promoting men the following considerations will govern: First — Fitness for position. Second — Previous record for faithful service. Third — Length of such service. 36. Engineers remaining in yard service from choice forfeit their rights in road service to the next man in order accepting it. 37. Any man declining road service shall do so in writing, and a record of same shall be made opposite his name on the enginemen's list. 38. Rights of enginemen will be governed by their position on engine- men's lists. The oldest man will have the choice of runs, but any man declin- ing a run to which he is entitled will forfeit his right to that run to the engineer accepting it, and to him only. 39. Failure to apply for a vacant run for thirty days will be considered a declination of such run. It is understood that any man accepting a run after an older man has declined it shall not hold such run, if it becomes his turn to be reduced to other service on account of reduction in force. Vacancies and new runs will be bulletined by Master Mechanics or Roundhouse Foremen at district terminals where men are affected. 40. Men absent from sickness, or under leave granted by proper author- ity, will not lose their right to run under the foregoing rules. 190 Great Northern Railway Company 41. The oldest available engineer in regular freight service shall fill a temporary vacancy in passenger service. It being understood that one trip will be considered a temporary vacancy. 42. When enginemen are run around for their own convenience, or at their o«fn request, they will not be paid for lost time, nor will they be paid for deadheading, when done for their own benefit. 43. When it becomes necessary to reduce the number of engineers, the youngest engineer in road service will be reduced to yard service, the youngest yard engineer to be hostler, and the youngest hostler to fireman, and the rights of any hostler so reduced to fireman will be governed by his positibn on fire- men's list. It being understood that no yard engineer will be reduced to host- ler or to fireman to make room for an engineer from road service who is a younger engineer in the service of the Company. 44. No more men will be employed in the service than are necessary to move the traffic with promptness and despatch. The number constituting a surplus to be determined by the Division Master Mechanic and Comm ttee of Enginemen. Business not to be delayed to get the conference referred to, but prompt action will be taken and adjustment made afterwards. If adjustment or changes are required under this rule, such will be made with reference to seniority rights. 45. At terminals where enginemen are assigned to the service known as "extra list" the number so assigned shall, as nearly as practicable, be kept down to a point where the men will not make less than Iwenty-one days per month. Any engineman catching a temporary vacancy on freight in his turn will hold same for fifteen days, provided the regular engineman does not return to work sooner. At the expiration of fifteen days, the run will be taken by the oldest engineman who desires it and will be held by him until the return of regular engineman. 46. Nothing in this schedule will be interpreted to affect the rights of en- ginemen acquired under any previous schedule. No provision herein is re- troactive. 47. Enginemen will not be required to pay fines on account of breakages, or loss of tools, nor to carry tools and supplies to and from engines. 48. Engineers will be notified when time is not allowed as claimed on time slip. 49. Enginemen who have been in the service over one year will be fur- nished with quarterly passes, good on their divisions, and with a reasonable number of trip passes, good on other divisions. 50. Clearance or service letters will be promptly furnished to all engine- men leaving the service. Great Xortherx Railway Company 191 51. Enginemen will at all times be given opportunity for proper rest, and when practicable will be given opportunity to have not less than two warm meals daily. 52. Enginemen will make such inspection of their engines aad such re- ports of work required as may bi called for from time tj time by proper au- thority, but it is understood that when engines are pooled, enginemen will not be required to make pit inspection of their engines. 53. Enginemen who volunteer for service in the army or navy of the United States in time of war will hold their rights until the term of their en- listment expires. 54.— Schedule of Pay for Firemen.

When a fireman is found competent and refuses promotion, he wrill be set back to the foot of firemen's list. 60. Firemen will be called up and examined for promotion in accord- ance with their age on firemen's list, and wherever practicable will be given thirty days' notice of intention to examine them. 61. Any fireman failing to pass examination will be given a second oppor- tunity within six months, if any firemen are promoted within that time. 62. Firemen will not be required to do any work at terminals without extra compensation. This rule to apply to all mastadon, consolidation, mogul and ten-wheel freight engines, and to all passenger engines larger than stand- ard type, and they will not be required to black stacks on front end of any engines in pool. They will, however, be expected to keep the cabs of engines on which they run and the boiler head and decks of engines in clean and tidy condition, whether engines are pooled or not. They will not be required to wash cabs, nor to scour brass, nor to black- lead or otherwise dress boiler head. 63. Firemen will not be required to run engines of lidgerwood unloaders, except in cases of emergency. 64. All operating officers and enginemen will be furnished with a copy of this schedule. 65. In case a meeting or conference is desired between the general officers of the Company and a committee of enginemen, a written notice stating the nature of the matter to be considered will be forwarded to the General Super- intendent, who will, as early as practicable, fix a date and time at which the conference may be had. 66. Should any disagreement or misunderstanding arise as to the con- struction or meaning of these rules, the matter shall be decided by conference between the General Superintendent and enginemen's committee.

MINNEAPOLIS, ST, PAUL & SAULT STE. MARIE RAILWAY COMPANY. SPECIAL RULES GOVERNING ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN. The credit and debit systems which went into effect December 1, 1895, and August I, 1897, are hereby annulled August 31, 1899, and the following similar plan, which is deemed preferable for each party to it, will be substituted. You will remember the present system was entered into experimentally, and from that stage, the value of it, alike to the employes and the Company has become mutually apparent. In consequence, each can enter into a third period with a thorough knowledge of, and confidence in, the equity of the within plan. The leading objects of the system of discipline by record are: 1. To avoid the loss of time and wages to employes and the consequent possible suffering of those who may be dependent on their earnings, as well as the demoralization of employes by enforced idleness. 2. To avoid the incorrect and pernicious feeling on the part of an em- ploye who has been suspended (and thus lost time and money) that he has paid the Company for the loss and trouble he has caused, and that he can settle again in the same manner. 3. To avoid the dismissal of an employe for a single violation of the rules of good practice, that does not injuriously reflect on his reputation, conduct, capacity, or future usefulness. 4. To secure a higher state of efficiency. Strict discipline is essential to the successful operation of a railroad. No continuous service performed by men can be perfect, but a high standard of discipline will produce a high class of service, and successful operation is dependent on good service. Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie R'y Co. 199 September 1, 1899, each engineer will be given his seniority rights held August 1, 1897, except in such cases as warranted dismissal. All debits, repri- mands and credits will remain as now recorded. On and after September 1, 1899, debits, reprimands and credits placed against the record of engineers and firemen will not affect their seniority rights. When an engineer or fireman receives seven (7) debits it shall be consid- ered sufficient cause for his dismissal from the service. Any credits received will cancel a corresponding number of debits. One debit will be cancelled by a perfect record for the six (6) months sub- sequent to the date of its issue. Two debits will be cancelled by a perfect record for the eight (8) months subsequent to the dates of their issue. Three debits will be cancelled by a perfect record for ten (10) months sub- sequent to the dates of their issue. Four debits will be cancelled by a perfect record of twelve (12) months subsequent to the dates of their issue. Five debits will be cancelled by a perfect record for fourteen (14) months subsequent to the dates of their issue. Six debits will be cancelled by a perfect record for sixteen (16) months subsequent to the dates of their issue. When engineers, who have not completed their first year's service, resume firing by reason of light business any debits that may stand against their record as engineers will be cancelled by the same number of months of perfect record as though they were in service as engineers. Reprimands will be given when the offense does not result in loss or dam- age to the property of the Company, delay or inconvenience to trains, and for other minor offenses not necessary to detail, three reprimands to one employe being equivalent to one debit, except as follows: One reprimand will be cancelled by a perfect record for the two months subsequent to the date of its issue. Two reprimands will be cancelled by a perfect record for four months subsequent to the date of the second issue. Three reprimands in six months is equivalent to a debit. A generally poor record will call for special consideration from the Me- chanical Superintendent, and may, after a hearing, bring dismissal, though a specific offense sufficient of itself to cause dismissal may be absent. Each engineer or fireman will be informed in writing of the number of debits or credits he may receive, and in case he is dissatisfied with the ruling, he may appeal, without prejudice, to a committee consisting of the Mechanical Superintendent (or his representative) and the Superintendent (or his repre- sentative). 200 Minneapolis, St, Paul & Sault Ste. Marie R'y Co. The record books will be kept in the offices of the General Manager and the Mechanical Superintendent, and each employe whose name appears therein will have the right, at any lime, to inspect his individual record, but not the record of any other employe. The credit system will be based on general meritorious service, with excel- lence in the following special directions: 1. Punctuality of trains when the schedule time is made, without exceed- ing the speed limit. 2. Economy in the use of fuel and lubricants and cost of repairs per 10,000 ton miles. 3. Freedom from sectional collisions. (A sectional collision is one where a train breaks apart and a. collision of the several sections occurs.) 4. Damage to persons or property caused by rough handling of trains. 5. An act of heroism or the use of good judgment in an emergency. 6. A special act of merit or loyalty for the good of the service. 7. A freedom from disagreements with other employes of the Company when in discharge of their duties, who are not subordinate to enginemen. The above system cannot apply in the following cases: 1. Incorrect use or misunderstanding of telegraphic train orders. 2. An ignorance or omission of current book or time table rules whereby damage to persons or property results. 3. Intoxication when on duty or the excessive use of intoxicants at any time. 4. Rear end collisions whether on road (when properly signaled) or in station limits. 5. A violation of rules governing any movement of trains at stations, rail- way crossings or drawbridges. 6. Unwarranted interference with, or dictation to, employes as to the per- formance of their duty, or their relation to the Company. 7. Dishonesty or conspiracy prejudicial to the revenue or reputation of the Company. E. A. Williams, Mechanical Superintendent. E. Pennington, General Manager. DuLUTH & Iron Range Railroad Co. 201 M.

On runs of over 100 miles, where the number of hours on duty exceeds the mileage, overtime shall be figured as per the following example: On a run 118 miles, 18 miles at ten miles per hour is equal to one hour and forty-eight minutes; one hour and forty-eight minutes plus thirty-one minutes, when overtime begins, equals two hours and nineteen minutes. Twelve hours, or day's work, plus two hours and nineteen minutes, equals 14 hours and nine- Green Bav & Western R. R. 219 teen minutes, when one hour overtime would be "allowed, or less than fifteen hours and nineteen minutes. 118 miles plus one hour or ten miles, makes mileage of runs 128 miles. Examples for Computing Time, Paragraph 7, Article I. 1. Wrecking crew leaves Green Bay for Dodge, 200 miles. Figuring run- ning time at 25 miles per hour, they would make the run in eight hours. We take the second 100 miles on the basis of 10 miles per hour, or ten hours, plus thirty-one minutes, plus twelve hours, in which the first 100 miles is made equals twenty-two hours and thirty-one minutes when overtime begins; less eight hours' time consumed to run to the working point, equals fourteen hours and thirty-one minutes, which would be the maximum limit of time that engine could be held at the wrecking point before overtime would be allowed. 2. Green Bay to Shiocton, thirty miles. Figuring running time at 20 miles per hour, would take one and one-half hours to make the run. Time at working point, six hours. Time returning, one and one-half hours. One and one-half hours, plus six hours, plus one and one-half hours, equals nine hours. One day would be allowed for this entire service. 3. No. 3's crew, due to leave here at 5:10, are called at 8:00 a. m. to pick up wreck at St. Paul crossing. They work four hours, from 8:00 A. M. to 12:00 noon. This case is covered by paragraph, "where additional mileage is made in other service the same day." In computing this time, it would be a day's work on No. 3, plus four hours at the wreck, at 36 cents per hour. Hours will have to be considered, as no mileage has been made. 4. No. 3's crew get orders at Plover to run to Stevens Point as No. 22, to pick up wreck at Stevens Point. They work two hours at wreck and return to Plover as "wild" train. Time consumed in running, as No. 22, and returning as "wild," fifty minutes. Fifty minutes, plus two hours at waiting point, eqjjafls two hours and fifty minutes, plus day's work on No. 3, twelve hours, equals fourteen hours and fifty minutes, or 130 miles. In this example; the fact that they ran from Plover to Stevens Point, as No. 22, is not considered as running between two terminal points, but is considered as "wild train,'' regardless of train number. 220 Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway BUTTE, ANACONDA & PACIFIC RY.

The following rules and rates of pay will govern the employment and con- trol of locomotive firemen upon the lines of this Company, on and after Octo- ber 1, 1894. Henry Schlacks, Approved: Superintendent Machinery. N. W. Sample, General Superintendent. Denver, Colorado, September 27, 1894. Article I. On all narrow gauge road engines, firemen shall receive 60 per cent, of first-class engineer's wages per day; delays and overtime to be computed on the same percentage. Article II. On all standard gauge road engines, firemen shall receive 66^ per cent, of first-class engineer's wages per day; delays and overtime to be computed on the same percentage. 226 Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Article III. On narrow guage work train engines, firemen shall receive 60 per cent, of first-class engineer's wages per day. On standard gauge work train engines, firemen shall receive 66^ per cent, of first-class engineer's wages per day; overtime to be computed on the same percentage. Article IV. On all switch engines, firemen shall receive $2.25 per day (twelve hours' work). When road firemen are called temporarily on switch engines, they shall receive 60 per cent, of first-class engineer's wages on narrow gauge en- gines, and 66 X per cent, of first-class engineer's wages on standard gauge en- gines (twelve hours' work) until relieved from such temporary service. When men on the extra list are taken to fire switch engines, they will receive switch firemen's pay. Article V. Firemen required to "deadhead" over any part of the road on regular business will be paid one-half of the regular daily rate. Article VI. For attending court at the request of the Company, firemen shall receive $2.00 per day for expenses, in addition to regular pay. Article VII. When firemen are called upon to do hostling temporarily, they will receive pay at the rate of 25 cents per hour for such duty. Article VIII. At all district terminals firemen will not be required to clean flues or en- gine tanks; and in addition thereto at Burnham, Pueblo, Salida, Grand Junc- tion, Gunnison and Chama, firemen of road or helper engines will not be re- quired to paint, oil or scrape front ends or stacks. Article IX. Firemen who are promoted to the position of engineers shall have prefer- ence for regular engine and service over engineers employed since their pro- motion. Article X. Firemen shall be called for duty at district terminals by the regular caller one hour (as nearly as practicable) before they are required to start with their trains. The caller will be provided with a book giving the names of the crew, and the number of the train for which they are wanted, in which the firemen must sign their names and enter the time of the call. Article XI. Any fireman who neglects to respond promptly after being called, thereby delaying his train, maybe suspended from duty by the Division Master Me- •Denver & Rio Grande Railroad 227 chanic for such length of time as he may think a proper punishment for such negligence. For a repetition of the offense he may be dismissed from the ser- vice. In case any fireman reports for duty, and his services are not required, on account of the abandonment of his train, or any other cause, he will receive one-half of his regular daily pay for reporting for duty, and will stand first out on freight runs. Article XII. Supplies will be put on all engines at district or division terminals, but this does not relieve the fireman from the responsibility of knowing that neces- sary supplies are on the engine before leaving terminals. Article XIII. In case of the suspension or dismissal of any fireman for any cause, except drunkenness, he shall have the right to refer his case by written statement to the Division Master Mechanic within five days from the time he was taken off. The Division Master Mechanic will give his case a thorough investigation at once, at which the aggrieved employe must be present; and also be repre- sented by a disinterested employe in his class, whom he may select. In case he shall not be satisfied with the result of the investigation, he will have the right to appeal to the Superintendent of Machinery. In case suspension or dismissal is found to be unjust, he shall be reinstated with full pay for the time he has been off. In case of suspension, the party suspended shall be notified of the length of time he is suspended for, and the period of suspension shall date from the time he was taken off for investigation. Article XIV. Firemen will not be required to go out when they claim to need rest. They will be expected to give proper notice and take rest at the district terminals. Article XV. All complaints made against firemen, by engineers and others, must be made in writing and the accused furnished with a copy. Article XVI. • Whenever an engine is shopped for general repairs, or the engineer is off duty for one week or more, the fireman may take the place of the youngest fireman having regular engine, or go on the extra list. Article XVII. In case of a surplus of firemen, force shall be reduced in same manner as promoted, if merits are equal. Article XVIII. All errors made in keeping or computing the time and mileage of firemen shall be properly corrected and any amounts of pay omitted in any month shall 228 £)ENVER & Rio Grande Railroad be paid them on the pay-rolls of the month following such omission. All differ- ences arising from disputed time or mileage shall be settled by the Division Master Mechanics, under the instructions of the Superintendent of Machinery. Article XIX. In computing overtime or delay time, any fraction of an hour less than thirty minutes will not be counted; thirty minutes and over will be counted as one hour. Article XX. Firemen transferred by the Company from one district or division to another, will not lose their rights on the district or division from which trans- ferred, nor will they acquire any rights on the district or division to which trans- ferred. When a fireman /requests that he be transferred to some other district or division where there may be a vacancy, he can do so by commencing at the bottom of the list, and will lose his rights on the district or division he has left. Article XXI. The rights of firemen shall date from the time they entered road service. Article XXII. Firemen will be promoted according to seniority and ability, on their re- spective districts or divisions. In case a fireman, entitled to promotion by rea- son of seniority, fails to pass the prescribed examination, he will be returned to duty as fireman without prejudice to his rights, and will, at the expiration of six months, through the Local Board of Adjustment, make application for re- examination, which examination will be made within ten days, and failing to pass satisfactorily he will forfeit his privilege for further advancement, at the discretion of the Division Master Mechanic. Article XXIII. On application, a copy of the revised seniority list of firemen will be fur- nished yearly to the Chairman of the Local Board of Adjustment by Division blaster Mechanics. Article XXIV. It is understood that the proper officials of the railroad Company will, at all times, listen to any reasonable complaints or grievances that the firemen of this Company, as a body or individually, may wish to make. It is further un- derstood that any fireman, by presenting a grievance or serving on any com- mittee of firemen, shall not thereby in any way prejudice his standing with the officers of the Company.

Promoting Firemen. Extract from Superintendent Machinery Letter: In times like we have now, where it is necessary to examine a number of men it occurs that a junior man is examined ahead of a senior man and passes. This on account of not being able to reach the senior man, as he may be out on the road or required on some other division, or on account of sickness, or what- ever the cause may be, if he cannot be reached; if the junior man is examined before him the junior man will not rate ahead of the senior man if both of them pass. In other words, no matter which one is examined first in the me- chanical department, the senior man will always rank senior if he passes his promotion to the position of engineer. A man may pass in the mechanical department and the Master Mechanic be compelled to send him out on the road, and a junior man to him, who has psssed the examination in the mechanical department, maybe examined ahead of him in the transportation department, but that cuts no figure, for if both pass, the senior fireman in the service of this Company will rank ahead if the examination in the transportation department is passed; that cuts no figure as to the rank the promoted fireman is placed on the engineers' list. (Signed) Henry Schlacks, Superintendent Machinery. 230 Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Meeting of Firemen's Grievance Committee. Denver, August 22, 1898. Office of Superintendent Machinery. At a meeting held in the office of Superintendent Machinery with a Com- mittee of Firemen, of which T. W. Hughes was chairman, Pat Rollington, sec- retary, R. F. Goodman, C. A. Henkel, Geo. F. Hardy, committeemen. Article I. After careful explanation and a full explanation on part of the Superin- tendent of Machinery, this part which at this time appeared to be a grievance, was considered a benefit to all employes; and that while it might look as .a hardship, to a few men on a certain district, for men to be sent from one dis- trict to help out on another, still as a whole, this system of handling men on the D. & R. G. Railroad, as adopted by the Superintendent of Machinery, is considered a benefit to all the employes in the mechanical department. A man so transferred will not take any rights nor the superior jobs. Article 11. The Superintendent of Machinery will instruct his Master Mechanics when it becomes necessary, to take junior firemen as engine watchmen, and pay them regular watchman's pay. Article HI. The Superintendent of Machinery agreed with the men that as Rouse Junction, El Moro and Walsenburg were considered objectionable jobs to some of the men, to either send the junior men to these places as firemen, or if senior men prefer the jobfe, put them on to avoid continuous changes. Article IV. No unnecessary demand will be made on firemen to clean their engines. The law and rule is not changed; the firemen are still held responsible for the cleaning of their engines and they are expected to do the cleaning, even if engines are pooled; and they are only exempt from cleaning when they do not have sufficient rest. Article V. When a passenger engine is vacant, and it is known to the officers that this engine is to be vacant for thirty days, the oldest freight fireman is to be put on that passenger engine. The same in freight; if an engine in regular freight service is to be vacant for thirty days — that is, if the regular fireman on such an engine lays off for thirty days — the oldest extra fireman has a right to that engine, as fireman. Article VI. The clause in regard to examining firemen for the position of locomotive engineers, states: They can make application after six months from the time Denver & Rio Grande Railroad 231 of their first examination, for a second examination. I modified this by stating that as soon as a man fails and as soon after as he feels competent to pass the examination in both machinery and transportation departments, he can have an examination, providing the Company needs engineers. (Signed) Henry Schlacks, Superintendent Machinery. Joint Meeting Engineers and Firemen. Denver, December 1899. Office of Superintendent Machinery. Article I. (a) Engineers and firemen request that the run from Alamosa to La Veta will be paid one day's pay. (6) Helping engines will he paid one day's pay from La Veta to Blanca and return to La Veta. (c) On the new La Veta line, the spirit of the contract and its rulings will be lived up to. (rf) It is conceded that the pay for freight engineers and firemen between Blanca and La Veta will be paid at the rate of 60 miles for a day's work. (e) When regular road engineers and firemen are used as helpers over the mountain between Blanca and La Veta they will be paid on the mileage basis, figuring 60 miles as a day's work. (/) Passenger engineers and firemen pulling passenger trains between Alamosa and Pueblo will be allowed straight mileage, 105 passenger miles to constitute a day's work. {£■] Should passenger trains only run to La Veta and return to Alamosa, the mileage from Blanca to La Veta will be figured at the rate of sixty miles for a day's work over the mountain from Blanca to La Veta. Article II. It is agreed that freight engineers and firemen in actual road service will be paid for terminal switching on the same basis as overtime, but this is not to interfere with the pay of engineers and firemen in regular yard switching. Also, that the Pueblo yard extends to Bessemer Junction and that fifteen minutes shall be allowed as the running time for freight trains between Pueblo and Bessemer Junction, the time spent in switching to be the time between leaving Pueblo and registering at Bessemer Junction after all switching is done, less fifteen minutes. The extension of the Pueblo yard to Bessemer Junction will have the effect that the switching engineers' and firemen's pay in regular yard switch- 232 Denver & Rio Grande Railroad ing will be alike over the entire yard, the same as is now paid in Pueblo yard proper. The terminal still remains at Pueblo for all trains. The change of extend- ing the yard to Bessemer Junction does not interfere with that at all. Article III. The Ibex branch engineers' and firemen's cases to be taken up and they be paid under the short run clause. That article was included in Article IV, which reads: Article IV. The engineers and firemen request that ten hours should constitute a day's work at Malta hill, Husted helper, the Manitou branch and El Moro hill, the same as the trainmen are paid, including the Coal Creek branch. To this the Superintendent of Machinery stated he would recommend that the day's work should be reduced from twelve hours to ten hours on Malta hill, Husted helper and the Ibex branch, which is to be treated exactly like Malta hill and Husted helper work. This, the Superintendent of Machinery ex- plained fully, was a breaking and a violation of the contract between the en- gineers and firemen and the D. & R. G. Railroad, but on account of the addi- tional work at Malta hill and Husted, and the laborious and disagreeable work in winter time on the Ibex branch, he would make that recommendation, with the full understanding that it should not interfere with any part of the existing contracts, and should not in any way be extended to any part of the road where we now have a similar service, and that the reduction in the number of hours worked for a day at Malta hill should not apply to the switch engineers at Leadville. He also states that the overtime made on these runs at the par- ticular places mentioned, namely, the Ibex branch, Malta hill and Husted, should hereafter be 40 cents an hour after a day's work of ten hours. Article VI. Engineers and firemen at Leadville claim they are not paid according to agreement. This principally referred to the helper engine located at Leadville. This being a question that is liable to meet with misunderstanding, both by the offi- cers of the Company as well as the employes, it was discussed at length and agreed that if a pusher engine is called out do work other than regular assigned helping or pushing of trains, they would be allowed overtime; if, however a road engineer running in regular road service, and at any terminal is called upon to do similar work as complained of by the committee— either taking off or putting on special or sleeping cars, or doing necessary switching, or going to a wreck or any other similar service — that if the men, engineer and firemen are called and required to do necessary work, they shall be allowed one-half day according to the agreement, and that the Company has a right to claim Denver & Rio Grande Railroad 233 five hours' work, and can hold the men five hours, if necessary, on their en- gines; but the Superintendent of Machinery stated that this is not to be done, under any circumstances, unless it is a case of necessity and of great import- ance, and that whenever men are held simply to gratify somebody's notion, to hold them on their engines, they are to report the case immediately to the Superintendent of Machinery, who guarantees an investigation. In other words, he does not want men, although the Company pays them for the five hours' service, to be held on their engines any longer than it is absolutely necessary. Article VIII. Engineers and firemen request that one engineer be hired for two pro- moted, and experienced firemen be hired when available. We will, however, adhere to this Article No. VIII as requested, whenever it is possible for it to be carried out. Henry Schlacks, Superintendent of Machinery, D. & R. G. R. R. Co., J. W. Rice, C. A. Henkel, Chairmen of Engineers' and Firemen's Committees. Engineers' and Firemen's Meeting, December, 1899. File 3430. Denver, January 25, 1900. Mr. J. IV. Rice and Mr. C. A. Henkel, Chairmen Grievance Committees : Gentlemen. — The Grievance Committees of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in session from December I8th to January 25th with the Superin- tendent of Machinery of the D. & R. G., of which Mr. J. W. Rice was chair- man for engineers and Mr. C. A. Henkel chairman for firemen, arrived at an agreement on Article No. V presented by committees at this meeting, where engineers and firement request an increase of 10 per cent, on all classes 150 and heavier classes of engines. Concessions were made on class 170 and heavier engines only, as fol- lows^ In passenger service $4.00 will be paid for 100 miles, where formerly $4.00 was paid for 105 miles. In freight service, $4.00 will be paid for 80 miles run, where formerly we paid $4.00 for 85 miles. This is agreed upon to be considered an open question, that if on other roads where the same question is now pending, increases are made, particu- larly on neighboring lines and in the same territory as the D. & R. G. Rail- road, the Superintendent of Machinery will have no objection, if the engineers and firemen so desire, to take this question up with them again. The firemen will have their regular percentage of this increase on 170 and heavier classes of engines. 234 Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Article I. Engineers request that all switch engineers on switch engines be paid $3.50 per day for twelve hours' work. It was agreed between the committee and the Superintendent of Machinery that from the 1st of February all switch, ing engineers on the D. & R. G. Railroad who are now paid 83.00 per day will be paid $3.25 for twelve hours' work, an increase of twenty-five (25) cents a day, and the firemen who were heretofore paid $2.25 will receive $2.35 for twelve hours' work.

The crews of engines run around shall be allowed one-half day, and if not called on duty within ten (10) hours, one day shall be allowed. This rule will not apply to fast mail, passenger or passenger freight service, when it would be detrimental to such service, at discretion of Master Mechanic. In double-heading, first engine out will be train engine and will go through. yM.— Short Runs Xot Provided for in Schedule. Runs of 50 miles, or less, except where special conditions on narrow gauge districts conflict, on duty five hours, or less, enginemen will be allowed fifty miles, and stand first out; if used again inside of five hours from time first called, and total mileage exceeds 100 miles, actual mileage will be allowed. If not called again inside of ten hours from time first called, 100 miles will be allowed and stand last out. All runs of over 75 miles and less than 100, single trips 100 miles, double 200 miles.

Engineers on branch runs, not having regular access to repair shops, will do light repairs on their engines, on days when no mileage is made, and shall be allowed full time. XVl— Calling. Engineers will be called about one hour and thirty [minutes, as near as practicable, before required. The caller will be furnished with a book show- ing time, and for what train wanted, in which engineers will sign their names, and time called. XMW.— Called and Not Sent Out. Engineers called and not used, by train being annulled or other cause, shall be allowed one-half day for first five hours or less, and stand first out. For more than five hours, or less than ten hours, they shall be allowed one day and stand last out. XV 1 1 1 . — Deadheading. Time for deadheading will be allowed at the rate of one day for each twenty-four hours, or less, except when other service is performed on same day, in which case time will be allowed at the rate of ten miles per hour; but in no case will less than one-half day or more than one day be allowed for deadheading on same day. When other service performed on same day is less than one-half day's pay, one day will be allowed to cover both deadheading and other service. XIX.— Hostlers. Hostlers will be provided at district terminals to take charge of engines on arrival and to handle engines between terminal and roundhouse, except on freight engines at Denver. XX. — Pilot in Yard Limits. When engines are not handled by hostlers between roundhouse and ter- minal, a pilot shall be furnished to throw switches and flag, etc., between Den- ver yard and 19th street. XXI. — Tie- Up and Watching Engines. When engines are laid up where there is no engine watchman, firemen will be held responsible for watching the engine. Engines shall not be tied up between ends of runs to avoid paying overtime. Wherever conditions are such that proper accommodations are not available, engine crews are not to be tied up. XXII.— ;?^j/. Enginemen shall not be required to go out until they have had eight hours' rest, and under ordinary circumstances, will not be expected to perform more than sixteen hours' consecutive duty. The Colorado & Southern R'y Co. 243 XXIII. — Seniority of Rights. Rights to engines and runs will be governed by seniority and capacity on the respective districts. XX.IY —District Rights.

When a crew has started out to do road or yard work, or re- ported for duty as instructed, or are called and their services are not required, each man shall receive one-half (K) day's pay and stand first out, provided less than one (1) day has been made. On all runs that pay one-half {%) day, overtime will be paid after three (3) hours; for all time made between the one-half {'4) day rate and one (1) day, overtime to be computed on same basis. x Article II. Dismissal or Suspension. Section 1. No engineer shall be dismissed or suspended from the ser- vice of the Company without just cause. In case an engineer believes his dis- charge or suspension to have been unjust, he shall make a written statement of the facts and submit them to the Superintendent Motive Power, and at the same time designate any other engineer, who may be in the employ of the Company at the time on the same district; and the Superintendent Motive Power, together with the engineer so designated, and the Superintendent or some other officer, shall investigate the case, and, when at all practicable, such investigation shall be made within five days from the date of receipt of appeal of the suspended engineer; and in case the discharge or suspension is decided to have been unjust, he shall be reinstated and receive full pay for the time lost. In case of suspension, the time shall date from the time employe was sus- pended foi: investigation. Right of Appeal. The right to appeal from local to general officers, as also the right of engineers or firemen to act as a committee of conference, will be duly recog- nized, and leave of absence from duty will be granted for that purpose. This section applies to firemen as well as engineers. Employment. Sec. 2. No more engineers or firemen will be employed or assigned than are necessary to move the traffic offered with promptness and certainty. Preference in Runs. Sec. 3. The engineers and firemen longest in continuous service with the Company in their respective capacities will have the right to indicate the run Colorado Midland Railway 261 each prefers, and such runs will be assigned them, providing they are compe- tent. Rights. Rights of engineers and firemen in road service will commence from date of entering such service permanently; but if a road engineer or fireman, of his own accord, takes a switch engine, he shall forfeit his rights in road service. Applicable to engineers and firemen on their respective districts. Selection of Runs. An engineer or fireman once having made his selection of runs in accord- ance with the provisions of this section, loses his right to make further changes; that is, so long as the conditions relating to his chosen run are not materially altered. Promotions. Sec. 4. In promoting men from freight to passenger service, the oldest in service will be given the preference, everything being equal. In promoting switch engineers to road engineers, the oldest engineer on switch engine, continuously counting, will have the right to go on the road, everything being equal. Filling Vacancies. Sec. 5. When a vacancy as engineer occurs, the oldest fireman, continu- ously counting, in the service on their respective districts, may be promoted to fill the vacancy. This to be done only after such fireman shall have been examined orally, and in writing, if necessary, by the Superintendent of Motive Power, to test his mechanical knowledge, and by some representative of the transportation department on time card rules. He must also show credentials certifying that he has served at least three years as fireman on this or other roads. No fireman shall be promoted unless he has served at least one year in freight service on this road. Engineers entering the service of the Company for the first time, shall be employed by the Superintendent of Motive Power. Fifty per cent, of the en- gineers required for road service will be hired, and 50 per cent, promoted from firemen on their respective districts. This section to apply to firemen as well as engineers. Carelessness and Negligence. Sec. 6. Any engineer or fireman who shall wilfully misuse or destroy the Company's property, or who is habitually careless and negligent or fails to take proper care of engines or property, shall, on these facts being proven, be dismissed. But no engineer shall be held responsible for, or be required to pay for killing stock or for breakage of tools or Company's property; provided, the occurrence is such as would be likely to happen on any well managed rail- way, and the case is such that neither wilfulness nor carelessness can be proven against the employe concerned. 262 Colorado Midland Railway First In and First Out. Sec. 7. Engineers shall run "first in and first out," except when the Super- intendent of Motive Power shall find it necessary to assign particular engines or engineers to cert?in runs. Arrival and Register at Terminals. Sec. 8. Arriving time of engines at terminal stations shall be taken from roundhouse register and engineer's trip slips, the former to govern in case of dispute. In case any engineer fails to register either arrival or departure in round- house register, he forfeits all rights under this clause. Calling. Sec. 9. The caller will be at the last known residence of each engineer and fireman wanted, as nearly as practicable one hour and fifteen minutes be- fore starting time of the train. The caller will have a book, showing names, time of train and nature of service. In this book those called will sign their names and state the time. Presence on Engine. Engineers and firemen will be required to be on their engines in sufficient time to have them ready to depart before leaving time of train. Computation of Time. Sec. 10. The time to be computed for each run will begin at the time designated in the caller's book for the train to leave. Requirements for Rest. Sec. 11. Engineers and firemen will not be required to go out when they need rest. Of this each man shall judge for himself, and when an engineer or fireman is of the opinion that he needs rest and will be unable to go out, he shall report the fact to the roundhouse foreman or hostler on duty, at the ex- piration of his prior trip. Eight hours shall be considered sufficient for rest. In for Repairs. Sec. 12. When an engine is in for repairs its engineer and fireman shall rank as extra men, and shall take their turn on the extra list; but when an en- gine goes in the shop for a period of ten days the crew will have the privilege of taking the youngest man's engine. When an engine has been in for repairs the regular crew will be granted the privilege of breaking engine in and getting engine ready for road service. Drinking, etc. Sec. 13. The management will take notice of engineers and firemen ad- dicted to drink, gambling and frequenting improper places. Drinking on duty, gambling or excessiVe drinking off duty, will be valid cause for dismissal.

Humphrey, Superintendent Motive Power. Approved: Geo. W. Ristine, Receiver. 264 Colorado Midland Railway On the part of the Locomotive Firemen, F. H. Burton, Chairman. Geo. McGonigal, Secretary. C. C. Andrus. On the part of the Locomotive Engineers, J. V. Smith, Chairman. John Nelson, Secretary. T. B. McNeil. Meeting ol the General Committee of Engineers and Firemen in tlie office of Superintendent Motive Power, Colorado City, Colorado, on November 26, i898. Those being present as follows: Engineers— James V. Smith, Chairman; John Nelson, Secretary; George W. Ramsey, Member. Firemen— George Beswick, Chairman; Wm. L. O'Brien, Secretary; John A. Healey, Member. Superintendent Motive Power — A. L. Humphrey. 1. The first thing we have to request, Mr. Humphrey, is to abolish the clause relating to the last clause of Section 3, Article 11, in our articles of agreement relating to runs. After discussing pro and con at some length, A. L. Humphrey agreed that the following: "That the selection of runs will only be permitted in the event of new time tables taking effect, new runs created, runs abolished or vacancies occurring,'' would govern in lieu of Section 3, Article H, which reads as fol- lows: "An engineer or fireman once having made his selection of runs in accordance with the provisions of this section, loses his right to make further changes; that is, so long as the conditions relating to his chosen run are not materially altered." Deadheading Engineers and Firemen. 2. The question of deadheading engineers and firemen was brought up by committee, and several instances cited which the committee claim to be an injustice to the enginemen. They cited the case of Engineer Kelfas, who claims that he brought an engine from Basalt to Colorado City and deadheaded home to Basalt and back again for the engine, and obtained no pay for it. A. Colorado Midland Railway 265 L. Humphrey stated, as the case is an old one and not remembered, but that hereafter when engineers and firemen bring engines to the shops, if there was not to be an engine available for them to take back inside of five (5) days, they would be immediately deadheaded home, for which they would receive pay. If engine they bring to shop will be out of shop ready to return inside of five days, they can either return home and come back for the engine without dead- head pay, or wait for the engine, and should they remain over five days they will receive pay for all time in excess of same. In case there is to be some other engine to be returned to the Second District and the engine crew is held over two days waiting for the same, they will receive pay for all time in excess of this. Section 5, Article II (50 Per Cent. Clause). 3. A. L. Humphrey: The committee stated that they would like to confirm the memorandum of agreement submitted by myself to the committee of en- gineers and firemen under date of April 22, 1898, relative to the 50 per cent, clause in Section 5, Article II, of the engineers' and firemen's schedule. Changes were made so that the same would read as follows: It will be under- stood that the general interpretation of Section 5, Article II, of the engineers' and firemen's schedule, effective January 1, 1896, that reads "Fifty per cent, of the engineers required for road service will be hired and 50 per cent, promoted from firemen on the respective districts," except in case of reduction of force caused'by falling off of business; then it is understood that in case an engineer or firemen that has- either been laid off or granted leave of absence (for same cause) with the understanding that they are to hold their respective rights until notified that their services are again required. If they do not return to work when so notified, there will be either an engineer or firemen hired or promoted, as the case may be, in the place of said person. To be understood, however, that when engineers or firemen are transferred from one district to another, they will not be considered as having left on account of depressed business, but that they will occupy precisely the same position as an engineer or fireman that had entirely left the service of the Company of the former district. Those employed or promoted to be figured on this basis from the time the schedule took effect, namely, January 1, 1896. Grand Junction Lay-Over. 4. J. Nelson: The committee request that something be done to reduce the lay-over Jtime of engine crews at Grand Junction, and submitted docu- ments showing that crews have laid over as long as fifty-eight hours at Grand Junction, and then were compelled to double out of Basalt, where their home is. A. L. Humphrey agreed to take this matter up and submit the argu- ment to the General Superintendent, with a view of reducing the lay-over at Grand Junction to a minimum. When Crews Lay Off for Thirty Days. 5. Committee request that in case a regular engineer or fireman lays off to exceed thirty days, and the oldest engineer or fireman on the extra list has 266 Colorado Midland Railway ' been assigned to their engine for the thirty days, that in case a regular engine becomes vacant the extra engineer or firemen (whichever the case may be) be assigned to the regular engine, assigning the first extra man out to fill the un- expired time on the engine that is vacant for thirty days. A. L. Humphrey. Agreed to: Committee of Engineers: J. V. Smith, Chairman Committee. Committee of Firemen: Geo. Beswick, Chairman Committee. A. L. Humphrey, Supt. Motive Power. Joint Meeting Engineers and Firemen and Superintendent Machinery Held at Colorado City, Colo., Septiember 20, 1900. Agreement Relative to 50 Per Cent. Clause. At a joint meeting of engineers and firemen in regard to the 50 per cent, clause of schedule, the members of engineers and firemen being unable to come to an understanding, agreed to submit the evidence to Mr. J. R. Groves, Su- perintendent of Machinery, and accept his decision in the case. Decision. Inasmuch as the only evidence of agreement is that of November 26, 1898, which shows that the roster of January 1, 1896, is correct, it is only fair to pre- sume that the matter was fully and finally determined and decided at that time, we will continue to work in accordance therewith. J. R. Groves, Superintendent Machinery. Wm. Walker, Chairman Engineers. H. C. Christy, Chairman Firemen. Colorado City, December 3, 1900. The following is the understanding arrived at by the undersigned with reference to the rules governing the employment and remuneration of en- Colorado Midland Railway 267 gineers and firemen on the Colorado Midland Railway, formulated January 1, 1896, and now in effect: First— That on all runs where trip or mileage or trip and mileage pay ex- ceeds one-half day and less than one day's pay, one full day's pay will be al- lowed. Overtime after six hours. Second— That when one or more trips are made or engine is required for other trips or service immediately on its arrival under either different or same pay or time, such time and pay shall be computed separate, and the time of such different trips or service shall not be carried from one trip to another. Third — That the words "or section houses" may be added to the first para- graph of Section 15, Article II, of the schedule. This does not apply to Bath, when it is necessary to send an engine there to take the place of regular engine. Fourth — That engineers and firemen stationed at points other than district terminals finding it necessary to lay off will be granted such leave, but they will give their superior officer due and timely notice of such leave of absence. In case of sickness of himself or family, prompt leave will be granted, and when reporting for duty they will be promptly put to work on his regular run or engine. Deadheading for this purpose will be paid at the regular dead- head rates. Fifth — Twelve (12) hours shall constitute one day for switching engineer and fireman. Regular switch engineer and fireman who are working under the twelve hour per day rule are entitled to one hour at midday for dinner. If more than thirty minutes of this noon hour is consumed in switch service they shall, under the same rule that entitles the yard switchmen to one hour over- time, be entitled to this hour. If the yard switchmen turn the engine in on the roundhouse tracks berore the full twelve hours have been worked, the switch engineer and fireman are justified in considering their day's work finished. Sixth — That for attending court as witness or similar service, performed for the Company, engineers and firemen shall be paid their regular daily pay of S4.00 for each twelve hours or less for such time as they are so engaged, and $2.00 per day for expenses. Seventh — Engine crews that are required to back over to Colorado Springs will be called to leave Colorado City forty-five minutes before the regular leaving time of their train. Eighth — Callers shall, where it is possible, ascertain where engine crews are called for and make such entry in their call books, in order that engineers and firemen may be informed where they are going before starting out on a trip; and all engine crews excepting switch engine crews who are regularly assigned and go to work at 7 o'clock A. m. and 7 o'clock p. m. will be called as per Section 9, Article II, of the schedule. Ninth — The assignment of special engines for pusher service out of Basalt will be discontinued, and the present pusher and extra engines will be run 268 ' Colorado Midland Railway first in first out of Basalt, and on their return to Basalt it will be understood that such engines have completed their trip. Tenth— On same runs eldest engineers and firemen shall have preference of Schenectady or Baldwin engines. Eleventh — Extra engineers and firemen run first in and first out on all runs, except that promoted men shall render one year's service before they are eligible to extra passenger service, and employed men shall render six months' service before they are eligible to extra passenger service. However, when passenger engineers or firemen lay off for thirty days or more, the oldest freight engineer or fireman shall be assigned to his run or engine, and the oldest extra engineer and fireman will be assigned to the regular freight run or engine. When a freight engineer or fireman lays off for more than thirty days, the old- est extra engineer or fireman will be assigned to this freight run or engine. The spirit of this rule will be applied in all cases, and when oldest engineer or fireman is not available at times such temporary vacancies occur, he shall have the preference when opportunity offers. Twelfth — Supplies, including water, will be placed on engines by round- house forces. . However, this does not relieve the engineer or fireman from their responsibility of knowing that the supplies, including water, have been placed on their locomotive before starting out on the trip. Thirteenth — The Company can not furnish means to have the coal shov- eled to the front of tenders; however, arrangements are in progress that will make Spinney a regular coaling place for all engines. Temporary provision will be made so that trains 41 and 43 and all througfi freight trains westbound shall take four tons of coal at Spinney. Fourteenth — When firemen are called to undergo examination, mechanical or on the book of rules, it may be in the presence of a fireman or engineer who has passed such examination. In case a fireman fails to pass he may return to his run for a period of six months, but may in the meantime request exam- ination if he thinks himself capable to pass, and such request will be granted. If he fails the second time he may be returned to duty as a fireman or dis- missed from the service, at the option of the Superintendent of Machinery. Fifteenth— Contract for the handling of fuel will expire in a very short time. On renewal of this contract a clause will be inserted limiting the largest lump of coal that is placed on an engine tender to the weight of about ten pounds. Sixteenth — Passes will be granted the families of engineers and firemen four times annually, and to engineers and firemen in a liberal spirit. Engineers and firemen who are traveling for the purpose of procuring a situation will be provided with a pass over this line, if they are vouched for by engineer or fire- man who is regularly in the employ of the Colorado Midland Company. A pass-book for this purpose will be furnished the joint foreman at Grand June- Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad 269 tion, and they may be procured from the General Superintendent or the Super- intendent of Machinery at Colorado City. Twentieth — Choice of passenger runs between Colorado City and Lead- ville shall be granted. B. H. Bryant, General Superintendent. J. R. Groves, Superintendent Machinery. FLORENCE & CRIPPLE CREEK RAIL= ROAD AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES. Florence, Colo., February 1, 1901. The following regulations and schedules of pay for enginemen are issued for the information and guidance of all concerned, and are effective on and after February 1, 1901. F. R. Rockwell, Superintendent. Regulations. Article I. Callers will be stationed at Canon City and Florence, who will call engine men when needed. These callers will be provided with books, giving names of men and for what time wanted, in which the men will sign their names and enter the time of the call. Time will be allowed from the time men are called to leave. A register will be provided at Canon City and Florence roundhouses for use of enginemen, which will determine the arriving time, when overtime is claimed. Article II. In case men are called and report for duty, and their services are not re- quired within five hours (for any cause not their own) they shall stand first out and be paid for one-half day's service. Article III. Enginemen will report time and overtime on the regular forms. In case time sent in is not allowed slips will be returned (within reasonable time), stat- ing reason, over the Superintendent's signature. 270 Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad Article IV. Enginemen will not be required to go out when they need rest, or are in- capacitated by sickness, but are required to give timely notice to the proper official, in order that their places may be filled. Article V. When a run becomes vacant the same will be advertised by bulletin, and everything else being equal, those longest in the service shall have preference; when it becomes necessary to reduce the force, employes retained shall be those longest in the service, i. «., as between those equally honest, sober and capable, but seniority will not be made a covering for any fault, or prevent the Company from retaining those whose services have been more satisfactory. Article VI. In case of suspension or discharge for any cause excepting intemperance or drunkenness (whether on or off duty), the aggrieved employe may, within five days from the time laid off, file a written statement with the Superintend- ent, setting out his grievances in detail, and thereupon, ordinarily within five days, t)ie Superintendent will appoint a day for hearing, giving the case care- ful investigation, at which the aggrieved employe may be present and may also be represented by a disinterested employe of his own selection. In case suspension or discharge is found to be unjust, the aggrieved em- ploye shall be reinstated and receive full pay for lost time. The right of appeal will be recognized. Article VII. Engine men in service not provided for in schedule, six hours or less from the time called to leave until tied up, will be allowed one-half day's pay, and stand first out; if more than six hours, will be allowed one day's pay and stand out in regular order. Article VIII, ' Time consumed in making up freight trains by road crews at Canon City and Florence will be paid for as overtime. It being understood, however, that when overtime is made on scheduled runs, in both making up train and delays on the road, tlie overtime on the road will be computed from the time train is ready to leave after switching is done, thus prohibiting an allowance of double pay for single service rendered. Article IX. When other work is furnished enginemen in regular road, switching and work train service, making the service continuous, only actual time worked will be paid for; provided, however, that the allowance amounts to a day's pay or more. Otherwise, Article VII will govern. Article X. In computing time and overtime, fractions less than thirty minutes will not be counted; thirty minutes or more will be counted as one hour. Flor^ce & Cripple Creek Railroad 271 Article XI. No more engine crews will be assigned than are sufficient to move traffic with certainty and despatch. Article XII. Engine men attending court in behalf of the Company will be paid day for day. Actual expenses will be allowed. Article XIII. When the mileage exceeds the time rate, the mileage shall apply. Article XIV. Grades of 200 feet or over to the mile will be designated as Mountain mileage; less than 200 feet, as Valley mileage. Article XV. Enginemen doing machinists' or shop work on their engines, outside of regular working hours, will turn in time for same. Article XVI. All engines will be run first in first out in the same class of service, and engine men will be assigned regular engines as far as practicable. Article XVII. When a fireman is able to show that the cleaning of ash pans and front ends is working a hardship to him, other arrangements will be made, provided there is someone else, who can be detailed to do the work. Firemen will not be requested to paint front ends, or scour brass at shop terminal. Schedule of Pay. The rates of pay for engineers will be $4.00 per day. One hundred (100) valley miles in passenger service; eighty-five (85) val- ley miles in freight service; or forty-four (44) mountain miles in either passen- ger or freight service, to constitute a day's work, provided that for the six and one-half miles between mile posts 9 and 31, not reaching 200 feet to the mile, sixty-five (65) miles, in both passenger and freight service, shall constitute a day's work. In switching and work train service, south of mile post 32, twelve hours shall constitute a day's work. In switching work train, and suburban service, north of mile post 32, ten hours shall constitute a day's work. One-half (or less) the above switching, work train or suburban service, to constitute one-half day; over one-half day to pay one day. When a freight run is made from Valley to the District and the crew ties up without further work being furnished for that day, one day will be allowed for such fraction of run, with overtime after ten hours, if the crew is held in service that length of time. 272 Chicago & Northwestern Railwa-^ Company Deadheading between the Valley and the District will be paid a minimum of one-half day, provided no further work is furnished for that day. Other deadheading will pay one-half time. The rate of pay for overtime will be 40 cents per hour. Overtime in road service to be as follows: Canon City or Florence to Alta Vista and return, after eight hours. Canon City or Florence to Victor and return, after nine hours. Canon City or Florence to Cripple Creek and return, after ten hours. Firemen will receive 60 per cent, of the wages of the engineers, with whom they run. CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN RAIL= WAY COMPANY. SCHEDULE OF COMPENSATION ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN. Chicago, III., January 23, 1893. The following schedule will govern the employment and compensation of locomotive engineers and firemen. It will take effect February 1, 1893, and will supersede all previous schedules: Article I. 1. Engineers promoted from firemen in the service of the Company will be paid for the first year's service three (3) cents per mile run; for the second and all subsequent years of service three and seven-tenths (3.7) cents per mile run. 2. Firemen will be paid two and two-tenths (2.2) cents per mile run. 3. Engineers and firemen employed in running six-wheeled connected engines of cylinders 18x24, or larger, shall receive an extra compensation of thirty (30) cents per 100 mile run over standard pay, which is SJ3.70 for en- gineers and $2.20 for firemen per 100 miles. 4. All engineers and firemen on way freight trains shall receive an extra compensation of three-tenths (.3) cents per mile run. 5. Switching service;will be paid for at the regular yard rates of twenty-seven and one-half (27 J^) cents per hour for engineers, and seventeen and one-half (17J^) cents per hour for firemen, excepting in the cities of Chicago and Mil- Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company 273 waukee, where it shall be twenty-nine (29) cents per hour for engineers, and eighteen (18) cents per hour for firemen. 6. The pay of engineers on pushing or helping engines shall be thirty-one (31) cents per hour, and for firemen twenty-two (22) cents per hour, except at points where a greater rate is now paid. 7. In work or wrecking service, engineers and firemen will be paid for the actual mileage going to and coming from the working points, as well as pay for the actual work performed at the wreck or working point. 8. One year in yard service will entitle an engineer to full pay if he be called into road service, providing he be found competent, as per the condi- tions contained in Article VII. Article II. In the event of there being a surplus of engineers or firemen for the ser- vice of the road, the older engineers or firemen will have the preference in employment. Article III. The time of engineers and firemen shall be computed on the basis of one hundred (100) miles or less for each day's work, and all mileage in excess of one hundred (100) miles run shall be paid for as provided by Article I. This shall only apply to freight service. Article IV. If the mileage of any engineer or fireman should fall below 2,600 miles in any one month, this result not being influenced by short runs of less than one hundred (100) miles, and they have been ready for service, losing no time on their own account, in such cases, full time will be allowed. This Article con- templates the allowance of duty days enough in each month to give all regu- larly assigned engineers and firemen who have personally reported each day, every working day in the month, not covered by mileage, on the established basis of 100 miles for a day's work. If the total mileage of the month equals or exceeds as many hundreds of miles as there are working days in the month, no duty time will be allowed. The question of duty time should be treated as follows: Unless a regularly assigned engineer or fireman asks to lay off, or the engine to which he is assigned shall be taken into the shops for repairs, or other cause, if such engineer or fireman shall report for duty and express a wish to be employed, it will be the duty of the Master Mechanic or Foreman to provide such engineer or fireman with employment or allow time enough of what is classed as "on duty rime" to give such engineer or fireman a full month's salary, as embodied in and on the basis of Articles II and IV, and it will be the duty of the Master Mechanics or Foremen, if necessary to carry out this rule, to assign such engineer or fireman to some other engine in charge of a younger engineer or fireman. 274 Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company Article V. Engineers and firemen shall in all cases be paid full time for service per- formed in trying engines after coming out of the shops, except where regular men are employed for that service. Article VI. No engineer or fireman shall be suspended or dismissed from the service of the Company upon any charge without having a fair and impartial investi- gation before the Superintendent or Master Mechanic, as the case may be, with right of appeal to the General Superintendent or General Manager. The investigation shall ordinarily be held within three (3) days. If charges are not sustained, compensation shall be allowed for time lost at the rate of one hun- dred (100) miles per day. No punishment is to be fixed without a .thorough investigation. Article VH. 1. All engineers and firemen shall rank from the date they are regularly assigned as such. In promoting engineers and firemen to higher grades, the question of merit and competency for the service required must be considered paramount to that of age or rank. 2. If a fireman, when promoted to engineer, is assigned to switching ser- vice, and desires to retain his rights to road service, he must apply for his rights at once, and must take his place in road service at the first opening or forfeit all rights in that service. 3. Engineers in road service who desire to enter switching service of their own choice, can only do so by forfeiting their rank and rights in road ser- vice. 4. The Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery may assign en- gineers to switching service temporarily without loss of rank in road service, where the service requires it, or where it is necessary to reduce forces on ac- count of slack business, or where there may be a case of sickness on the part of an engineer, or his family, but such engineer must return to road service when called on, or must forfeit his tights in road service. Article VIII. 1. Overtime shall be paid for at the rate of ten (10) miles per hour on basis of rate and classification. 2. On all runs where the time on duty in hours exceeds the number of miles divided by ten (10), all such excess will be considered overtime, except oh short runs where the total mileage made in any one day does not exceed one hundred (100) miles; overtime will not be allowed until the total hours on duty exceed ten (10). 3. Time on duty shall be considered as being from the time the train is ordered at initial terminal to arrival at destination. Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company 275 4. In computing overtime, any fraction of an hour less than thirty (30) minutes will not be allowed. Thirty (30) minutes or over will be called an hour. 5. When an engine crew is on the road between terminals for' a time not exceeding in hours the mileage of the run divided by ten, they shall be allowed delayed time for all time that they are delayed at initial terminal, provided that time is one hour or more. If the crew shall be on the road for a time exceeding in hours the mileage of the run divided by ten, then their time shall be figured from the time that the crew leave initial terminal to their arrival at destination. In the latter case, a delay in arrival at destination terminal of twenty-nine minutes or less shall not be counted. Thirty minutes pr over shall count as one hour. 6. After an engineer or fireman has been called and reports for duty, he shall be paid for all time lost, such amount to be not less than one-quarter (X) of a day. 7. Engineers and firemen delayed over one hour after arrival at destina- tion in giving up engine in such manner as the rules of the terminal require, shall be paid for all time lost, but no claim is to be made unless there is a delay of a full hour. 8. Engineers and firemen delayed on the road by accidents, washouts or snow, shall be paid for all time lost, provided it exceeds one hour. This shall apply to passenger service only. 9. {a) If engineers and firemen are required to do switching at terminal stations, either before leaving or after arrival at such terminal, they will be paid extra for all such switching at the rate of ten miles per hour, provided they are not, at the time they are engaged in such switching service, in receipt of compensation under any other rule. No extra compensation shall be paid for switching service until the mileage exceeds seventy (70) miles; on runs of seventy (70) miles or less no extra compensation will be paid for switching service until the time on duty exceeds ten (10) hours. Less than thirty (30) minutes will not be counted. Thirty (30) minutes and less than one hour will be counted as one hour. Freight crews will, however, not be called on to do switching where switch engines are employed, except in case of absolute necessity. (6) Crews called upon to run special trains shall receive extra compensa- tion for switching service at initial point and at destination under the same rules and at the same rates that apply to crews of regular trains. A turn-around point is to be considered under this section as an intermediate point for all runs turning at that point on the same day. (c) On turn-arounds, extra compensation for switching will be allowed at turn-around point, provided there is a delay of thirty (30) minutes or more. No extra compensation, however, shall be allowed for switching at turn-around point until the mileage of turn-around trip shall exceed one hundred (100) miles or until the hours on duty shall exceed ten (10). 276 Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company 10. Where crews are required to double hills, such crews will be allowed the extra mileage made. Article IX. No fault shall be found with any engineer or fireman who refuses to go out on account of needed rest, eight hour's rest being considered sufficient under ordinary circumstances. Article X. All engineers and firemen will run first in first out, with the exception of those assigned to regular runs. Article XI. If an extra engineer or fireman is kept in the service as such, awaiting his time for service or assignment, no "duty time" shall be returned, and the time of such engineer or fireman will be computed as provided by Article III. Article XII. All runs of less than one hundred (100) miles, where a day has been al- lowed, shall not be affected by this agreemelit. Article XIII. Engineers and firemen attending court under instructions from the Com- pany will be paid at the rate of one hundred (100) miles per day and living ex- penses while away from home. Article XIV. Engine despatchers will be paid two dollars and thirty-five cents ($2.36) per day of twelve (12) hours, day or night work, it being understood that these positiotis are to be filled from the ranks of engineers or firemen who are eligible to promotion to despatchers; everything being equal-, the oldest en- gineers and firemen to have preference. This shall not create any change in despatchers at present in the employ of the Company. Article XV. When change of a division or train run requires men to change their place of residence, they will be furnished free transportation for their families and household goods. Article XVI. Turn-arounds shall be considered as all runs turning at intermediate points on the same date. Article XVII. All trains loading and unloading way freight or doing station switching, shall be classed as way freights, and crews shall receive compensation accord- ingly. This shall not be construed to apply to through trains setting out or picking up car loads, or handling small lots of local freight in case of emer- gency. Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company 277 Article XVIII. A terminal station for freight trains is the end of a freight division, as such divisions are determined by the time schedule. A terminal station is the ini- tial point, or the end of the run of a scheduled train, but for such scheduled train only. Wm. Smith, Superintendent M. P. & M. S. Sandborn, General Superintendent. Approved: J, M. Whitman, General Manager. Supplement to Schedule, Issued to the Joint Protective Board B. of L. F. at its Annual Meeting in November, 1900. Taking affect December 1st, firemen will not be required to wipe pooled locomotives in freight service. This does not apply where three to five freight crews run two or three engines regularly, on some regular run, but does apply where there are fifteen or twenty crews running ten or twelve engines, in what is known as a straight pool, first in first out. Taking effect same day, pay of firemen on class "R" locomotives will be $2.60 instead of S2.50. Way freight pay, class "R" engines, will be $2.80, same as at present. Very truly, W. A. Gardner. Effective January 1, 1900, engineers having seen three years' service, or three years from the date of their promotion to locomotive engineers, will be allowed to run passenger trains, instead of five years as heretofore. It will be further understood that mixed trains are scheduled as freight trains, and that the above rule will not apply to that class of service. R. QUAYLE. 278 Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company (Circular of November 20, 1891, revised and reissued.) CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. MOTIVE POWER AND MACHINERY DEPARTMENT. Chicago, III., January 23, 1893. Rules in Reference to Employment of Engineers and Firemen. The following rules in reference to employment of engineers and firemen are announced, effective from this date: 1. Before employing new men for road service the Foreman will consult with the Master Mechanic, and the Master Mechanic with the Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery, to the end that temporary transfers can be made, if possible, to give work to old employes. 2. When employes transfer for their own benefit no deadhead time will be allowed them in passing from one division to another. 3. When an engineer or fireman is transferred by his own request to another division permanently he shall rank from the time of transfer. The Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery, with the approval of the Gen- eral Superintendent or General Manager, will retain the right to transfer em- ployes with rank when the interest of the Company requires it. 4. Any agreement affecting the rights of an engineer or fireman must be submitted to and approved by the Superintendent of Motive Power and Ma- chinery before being consummated, and a record of the same made. 5. The oldest men in rank will have preference for new runs or vacan- cies, if competent. The division officers are to be the judges as to compe- tency. If an applicant is rejected for incompetency, a full report in writing will be made to the Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery, and such applicant may have a hearing before him, if desired. 6. Master Mechanics or foremen may grant leave of absence for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days. If a longer leave of absence is asked for, the Master Mechanic must arrange it with the Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery, so that proper record may be made. If employes enter into other business while on leave of absence, they will lose all of their rights. No leave of absence will be granted to exceed six (6) months, except in case of sickness. 7. Despatchers will be taken from the ranks of engineers or firemen, according to the requirements of the division. 8. If an engineer or fireman declines promotion and the position is taken by a younger man in rank, the younger man can hold the run, but can not Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company 279 acquire rank over the older man — except in the case of a fireman promoted to engineer, the younger man will hold rank as engineer over an older fireman who has declined promotion, failed to pass examination, or not considered competent. 9. Men must not claim another man's run without good and sufficient cause. In assignment of runs, if an agreement cannot be made with the Mas- ter Mechanic or Foreman, the case may be referred to the Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery to be settled with the Chairman of the General Committee of Adjustment and the Local Committee. A change of time from day to night, from regular passenger service to freight service, points of lay- over, or curtailment of the mileage to the extent of four hundred (400) miles per month may be considered sufficient cause for an engineer to claim another or more desirable run to which he may be entitled by age or rank — provided, such claim is filed within ten (10) days after the change is made. It will not be considered sufficient cause for change if a man still makes thirty-five hundred (3,500) miles a month; nor if a small amount of extra mile- age is made and the man not overworked. All new or vacant runs will be bulletined for ten (10) days and open to all that are eligible. If a run is taken off and an engineer is thrown out of employment he will be entitled to a younger man's run and a vacancy will be made for him. 10. If men are taken sick notice must be sent to roundhouse foremen at once, if it is possible to do so, as men will be expected to go out when called, if such notice is not received. 11. Engineers reduced to firemen will have preferred positions firing or despatching, according to their rank and age. 12. Engineers shall not lose rank while firing, but their time firing will not be counted in their first year's service as engineers. They must serve one (1) year, twelve (12) calendar months, as engineer. 13. An engineer reinstated retains his original rank and rights. An en- gineer re-employed loses his former rank and is employed as a new man. Master Mechanics will explain to Division Superintendents on the settlement of every case so that no misunderstanding may arise, and will also report it in monthly report for record and bulletin. 14. In selection of runs engineers will confine themselves to what are known as regular runs on time schedules— that is, trains 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, etc., and cannot select a portion of two or three different runs. Where special engines are running the rounds, or where special engines are placed on runs for the good of the service men can make claim to runs, but cannot make claim to engines. The oldest engineer will have preference of layovers where engines are running the rounds on preferred runs, when practicable. The officers of the Motive Power Department will place the engines where they give the best service. 280 Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley R. R. Co. 15. Firemen entitled to promotion will be promoted, if they are considered competent, after an examination by the operating and mechanical depart- ments. If applicant fails to pass such examination, he may be re-examined at the expiration of three (3) months, if the Company is in need of men. If he fails to pass the second examination, he will not be re-examined, nor will he be promoted, and the Company reserves the right to dismiss him from the service. The division officer will be the judge of his qualifications. 16. Surplus firemen will be dismissed from the service, and only enough men retained to perform the service properly and promptly. If dismissed fire- men are re-employed, they will rank as new men. 17. Firemen employed must be able-bodied, of good habits, fair educa- tion, and over twenty-one (21) years of age and under twenty-seven (27) years. Men previously employed in the Motive Power department of railroad service will be eligible if between the ages of twenty-one (21) years and thirty (30) years. Wm. Smith, Superintendent Motive Power and Machinery. Approved: S. Sandborn, General Superintendent. FREMONT, ELKHORN & MISSOURI VAL= LEY RAILROAD CO., SIOUX CITY & PACIFIC RAILROAD CO. SCHEDULE OF COMPENSATION ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN. Omaha, Neb., May 16, 1893. The following schedule will govern the employment and compensation of locomotive engineers and firemen. It will take effect June 1, 1893, and will supersede all previous schedules: Article I. 1. Engineers promoted from firemen in the service of the Company will be paid for the first year's service, three (3) cents per mile run; for the second and all subsequent years of service, three and seven-tenths (3.7) cents per mile run. Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley R. R. Co. 281 2. Firemen will be paid two and two-tenths (2.2) cents per mile run. 3. Engineers and firemen employed in running six-wheeled connected engines of cylinders 18x24, or larger, shall receive an extra compensation of thirty (30) cents per 100 miles run over standard pay, which is $3.70 for en- gineers and S2.20 for fireman per 100 miles. 4. All engineers and firemen on way freight trains shall receive an extra compensation of three-tenths (.3) cents per mile run. 5. Switching service will be paid at the regular yard rates of twenty- seven and one-half (27>^) cents per hour for engineers, and seventeen and one- half (17>^) cents per hour for firemen. 6. The pay of engineers on pushing or helping engines shall be thirty-one (31) cents per hour, and for firemen twenty-two (22) cents per hour, except at points where a greater rate is now paid. 7. In work or wrecking service, engineers and firemen will be paid for the actual mileage going to and coming from the working points, as well as pay for the actual work performed at the wreck or working point. 8. One year in yard service will entitle an engineer to full pay if he be called into road service, providing he be found competent, as per the condi- tions contained in Article VII. Article II. In the event of there being a surplus of engineers or firemen for the ser- vice of the road, the older engineers and firemen will have the preference in employment. Article III. The time of engineers and firemen shall be computed on the basis of one hundred (100) miles or less for each day's work, and all mileage in excess of one hundred (100) miles run each day shall be paid for as provided by Article I. This shall only apply to freight service. Article IV. If the mileage of any engineer or fireman should fall below 2,600 miles in any one month, this result not being influenced by short ruiis of less than one, hundred (100) miles, and they have been ready for service, losing no time on their own account, in such cases, full time will be allowed. This Article con- templates the allowance of duty days enough in each month to give all regu- larly assigned engineers and firemen who have personally reported each day, every working day in the month, not covered by mileage, on the established basis of 100 miles for a day's work. If the total mileage of the month equals or exceeds as many hundreds of miles as there are working days in the month, no duty time will be allowed. The question of duty time should be treated as follows: Unless a regularly assigned engineer or fireman asks to lay off, or the engine to which he is assigned shall be taken into the shops for repairs, or other cause, if such engineer or fireman shall report for duty and express a 282 Fremont, Elkhoris & Missouri Valley R. R. Co. wish to be employed, it will be the duty of the Master Mechanic or foreman to provide such engineer or fireman with employment or allow time enough of what is classed as "on duty time" to give such engineer or fireman a full month's salary, as embodied in and on the basis of Articles II and IV, and it will be the duty of the Master Mechanic or foreman, if necessary to carry out this rule, to assign such engineer or fireman to some other engine in charge of a younger engineer or fireman. Article V. Engineers and firemen shall in all cases be paid full time for service per- formed in trying engines after coming out of the shops, except where regular men are employed for that service. Article VI. No engineer or fireman shall be suspended or dismissed from the service of the Company upon any charge without having a fair and impartial investi- gation before the Superintendent or Master Mechanic, as the case may be, with right of appeal to the General Superintendent or General Manager. The investigation shall ordinarily he held within three (3) days. If charges are not sustained, compensation shall be allowed for time lost at the rate of one hun- dred (100) miles per day. No punishment is to be fixed without a thorough investigation. Article VII. 1. All engineers and firemen shall rank from the date they are regularly assigned as such. In promoting engineers and firemen to higher grades, the question of merit and competency for the service required must be considered paramount to that of age or rank. 2. If a fireman, when promoted to engineer, is assigned to switching ser- vice, and desires to retain his rights to road service, he must apply for his rights at once, and must take his place in road service at the first opening, or forfeit all rights in that service. 3. Engineers in road service who desire to enter switching service of their own choice, can only do so by forfeiting their rank and rights in road ser- vice. 4. The Superintendent of Motive Power and Machinery may assign en- gineers to switching service temporarily without loss of rank in road service, where the service requires it, or where it is necessary to reduce forces on account of slack business, or where there may be a case of sickness on the part of an engineer, or his family, but such engineer must return to road service when called on, or must forfeit his righjs to road service. Article VIII. 1. Overtime shall be paid for at the rate of ten (10) miles per hour on basis of rate and classification. Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Vallev R. R. Co. 283 2. On all runs where the time on duty in hours exceeds the number of miles divided by ten (10), all such excess will be considered overtime, except on short runs where the total mileage made in any one day does not exceed one hundred (100) miles, overtime will not be allowed until the total hours on duty exceed ten (10). 3. Time on duty shall be considered as being from the time the train is ordered at initial terminal to arrival at destination. 4. In computing overtime, any fraction of an hour less than thirty (30) minutes will not be allowed. Thirty (30) minutes or over will be called an hour. 5. When an engine crew is on the road between terminals for a time not exceeding in hours the mileage of the run divided by ten, they shall be allowed delayed time for all time that they are delayed at initial terminal, provided that time is one hour or more. If the crew shall be on the road for a time ex- ceeding in hours the mileage of the run divided by ten, their time shall be figured from the time that the crew leave initial terminal to their arrival at destination. In the latter case, a delay in arrival at destination terminal of twenty-nine minutes or less shall not be counted. Thirty minutes or over shall count as one hour. 6. After an engineer or fireman has been called and reports for duty, he shall be paid for all time lost, such amount to be not less than one-quarter (X) of a day. * 7. Engineers and firemen. delayed over one hour after arrival at destina- tion in giving up engine in such manner as the rules of the terminal require, shall be paid for all time lost, but no claim is to be made unless there is a de- lay of a full hour. 8. Engineers and firemen delayed on the road by accidents, washouts or snows shall be paid for all time lost, provided it exceeds one hour. This shall apply to passenger service only. 9. (a) If engineers and firemen are required to do switching at terminal stations, either before leaving or after arrival at such terminal, they will be paid extra for all such switching at the rate of ten miles per hour, provided they are not, at the time they are engaged in such switching service, in receipt of compensation under any other rule. No extra compensation shall be paid for switching service until the mileage exceeds seventy (70) miles; on runs of seventy (70) miles or less no extra compensation will be paid for switching service until the time on duty exceeds ten (10) hours. Less than thirty (30) minutes will not be counted. Thirty (30) minutes and less than one hour will be counted as one hour. Freight crews will, however, not be called on to do switching where engines are employed, except in case of absolute necessity. {i) Crews called upon to run special trains shall receive extra compensa- tion for switching service at initial point and at destination under the same rules and at the same rates that apply to crews of regular trains. A turn- 284 Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Vallky R. R. Co. around point is to be considered under this section as an intermediate point for all runs turning at that point on the same day. (c) On turn-arounds, extra compensation for switching will be allowed at turn-around point, provided there is a delay of thirty (30) minutes or more. No extra compensation, however, shall be allowed for switching at turn-around point until the mileage of turn-around trip shall exceed one hundred (100) miles or until the hours on duty shall exceed ten (10). 10. Where crews are required to double hills, such crews will be allowed the extra mileage made. Article IX. No fault shall be found with any engineer or fireman who refuses to go out on account of needed rest, eight hours' rest being considered sufficient under any ordinary circumstances. Article X. All engineers and firemen will run first in first out, with the exception of those assigned to regular runs. Article XI. If an extra engineer or fireman is kept in the service as such, awaiting his time for service or assignment, no "duty time" shall be returned, and the time of such engineer or fireman will be computed as provided by Article III. Article XII, All runs of less than one hundred (100) miles, where a day has been al- lowed, shall not be affected by this agreement. Article XIII. Engineers and firemen attending court under instructions from the Com- pany will be paid at the rate of one hundred (100) miles per day and living ex- penses while away from home. Article XIV. Engine despatchers will be paid two dollars and thirty-five cents ($2.35) per day of twelve (12) hours day or night work, it being understood that these positions are to be filled from the ranks of engineers or firemen who are eligible to promotion to despatchers; everything being equal, the oldest engineers and firemen to have the preference. This shall not create any change in despatch- ers at present in the employ of the Company. Article XV. When change of a division or train run requires men to change their place of residence they will be furnished free transportation for their families and household goods. Article XVI, Turn-arounds shall be considered as all runs turning at intermediate points on the same date. Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley R. R. Co. 285 Article XVII. All trains loading or unloading way freight, or doing switching, shall be classed as way freights, and crews shall receive compensation accordingly. This shall not be construed to apply to through trains setting out, or picking up carloads, or handling small lots of local freight in case of emergency. Article XVIII. A terminal station for freight trains is the end of a freight division, as such divisions are determined by time schedule. A terminal station is the initial point, or the end of the run of a scheduled train, but for such scheduled train only. S. A. Teal, Master Mechanic. C. C. Hughes, Approved: General Superintendent. H.

Foreman may grant leave of absence for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days. If a longer leave of absence is asked for the Foreman must arrange it with the Master Mechanic, so that proper record may be made. If employes enter into other business while on leave of absence they will lose all of their former rights. No leave of absence will be granted to exceed six (6) months^ except in case of sickness. 7. Despatchers will be taken from the ranks of engineers or firemen, ac- cording to the requirements of the division. 8. If an engineer or fireman declines promotion and the position is taken by a younger man in rank, the younger man can hold the run, but cannot ac- quire rank over the older man — except in the case of a fireman promoted to engineer, the younger man will hold rank as engineer over an older fireman who has declined promotion, failed to pass examination, or not considered competent. 9. Men must not claim another man's run without good and sufficient cause. In assignment of runs, if an agreement cannot be made with the Fore- man, the case may be referred to the Master Mechanic to be settled with the Chairman of the General Committee of Adjustment, and the Local Commit- tees. A change of time from day to night, from regular passenger service to freight service, points of layover, or curtailment of the mileage to the extent of four hundred (400) miles per month may be considered as sufficient cause for an engineer to claim another or more desirable run to which he may be entitled by age and rank — provided, such claim is filed within ten (10) days after the change is made. It will not be considered sufficient cause for change if a man still makes thirty-five hundred (3,500) miles a month, nor if a small amount of extra mile- age is made and the man not overworked. All new or vacant runs will be bulletined for ten (10) days and open to all that are eligible. If a run is taken off and the engineer thrown out of employment, he will be entitled to a younger man's run and a vacancy will be made for him. 10.

This with the understanding that one hour will be allowed for each 292 Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul R'y Company ten miles made on runs of less than ninety miles. The intent of this lattef clause is that in case of a run of eighty miles, which might be made in six hours, the crew will be credited with eight hours, and may be required to switch two hours longer at the terminals without extra compensation. All time in ex- cess of ten (10) hours, in such cases, will be paid for at the road rates, viz; ten miles per hour. Article VIII. In cases where trains are abandoned, enginemen having been called for duty, they will be paid for all time on duty after taking charge of their engines until released. Time to be allowed in such cases will not be less than a quar- ter of a day. If, after leaving on a run, the train should be abandoned or the engine become disabled, through no fault of the engineer, aind returned to the engine house, time will be allowed in proportion to the number of hours em- ployed or miles if miles exceed the hours. Should the disabling of the engine prevent further mileage being made that day, one short day will be allowed. Article IX. When men are assigned to engines with snow plows attached and held for snow plow service, they will be paid full time. In cases where engines are working in the snow, and the men are trying to open the road, they will be paid hour for hdur, so long as they are in such service. Or, when men and en- gines are caught in a storm on the road, and the engines are kept alive, the men will be paid as above. When engines are allowed to die on the road, through no fault of the men, full time will be allowed, viz: One day for every twenty-four (24)f hours, provided the men remaip with the engine and bring it home in good condition. When men are away from home over one day at a time, owing to snow blockades or washouts, their engines being properly housed, one-half time will be allowed, men remaining subject to call. Time to begin after one day has expired. When men are assigned to engines with snow plows attached that engineers cannot see over, they shall not be required to pull trains. Article X. Enginemen deadheading over the road in Company's service will receive one-half time for full mileage; provided that no less than a full day be al- lowed when no other service is performed that day. In case of lawsuits.en- ginemen will receive full time and expenses for every day o(i — pay to be figured according, to the class of engine men have been regularly employed on; 100 miles. to be coiisidered a full day. Article XI. There shall be engine despatchers at such stations or terminals as may be designated by tbe Company, who shall take engines to and from roundhouses. Twelve hours shall constitute a full day for an engine destiatcher, for which he' will receive $2.25. They will not be required to knock out fires or fire up' engines; ' Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y Company 293 Article XII. At terminal or division stations where callers are employed, enginemen will be called, as near as practicable, one hour and a half before leaving time, provided they live within one mile of the place where they take charge of en- gines. The caller's book shall state the leaving time of trains, and the men who are called shall in each instance register their names, together with the time at which they are called. In computing overtime, time of men will begin at the time specified in the caller's book for the train to leave. Article XIII. When enginemen have been in continuous service so long as to require rest, they will not be required to go out until sufficient time has been allowed them to recuperate — men to be the judges of their own physical condition. Article XIV. 1. Promotions of enginemen will be made according to their age on the division where they are employed, if they are competent and worthy. Divisions to be known as indicated by time cards in effect January 1, 1891, and shall in- clude all branches of such division. 2. Firemen's ages will rank from the date they enter the service in such capacity. This shall not affect the present standing of. the men on any division or run. Exceptions may be made to this rule in cases of men incapacitated for full service. Engines will run first in, first out, as far as practicable. The 'Company will not transfer enginemen from one division to another, perma- nently, against the wishes of the men; but if a request be made by the men to be transferred they shall rank as new men on the division to which they are transferred. When enginemen voluntarily leave the service of the Company and are subsequently re-employed, they shall rank as new men. Article XV. No engineer or fireman shall be suspended or discharged without just cause. In case of suspension or dismissal, if he thinks his suspension unjust, his case shall have a thorough investigation by the proper officers, at which he may be present if he so desires. Such investigation shall be made within ten days, or as soon as possible, and if found unjustly suspended or discharged he shall be reinstated and paid full time while so out of service. Article XVI. In the event of a surplus of engineers or firemen the oldest men shall have the preference of employment— character, ability and merit being equal. As near as practicable the number of men in the service will be kept down to correspond with the volume of business, so that they make not less than 2,600 miles per month. When an engine is shopped for repairs the enginemen will, when practicable, be assigned to another engine; when not practicable to do so they shall have the preference as extra men. 294 Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y Company Article XVII. When time is not allowed as per enginemen's slips the slip shall be re- turned and objection stated. Article XVIIl. If an engineer or fireman is required to take care o£ an engine at any irregu- lar layover station, the one performing the duty will be paid for such service at regular rate of pay. Article XIX. Any grievance that may arise shall be presented in writing by the party aggrieved to the proper officer of the Company within sixty days of its occur- rence. No attention will be paid to grievances unless presented in writing within the time specified above. Article XX.

Sec. 2. Firemen will be paid two and two-tenths (2.2) cents per mile run. Sec. 3. Engineers and firemen employed in running six-wheel connected engines of cylinders 18 by 24 or larger, shall receive an extra compensation of thirty (30) cents per one hundred (100) miles run over standard pay, which is $3.70 for engineers and $2.20 (or firemen per one hundred (100) miles. Sec. 4. All engineers and firemen on way freight trains shall receive an extra compensation of three-tenths (0.3) cents per mile run. Sec. 5. Switching service to be paid for at regular yard rates of twenty- seven and one-half (27^) cents per hour for engineers and seventeen and one- half (17j^) cents per hour for firemen, except in St.. Paul and Minneapolis, where it shall be eighteen (18) cents per hour for firemen; but it is understood that engineers and firemen on six driver" engines, of cylinders 18 by 24 or larger, shall rec.eive an additional thirty (30) cents per day, eleven (11) hours to constitute a day's work. Sec. 6. Pay of engineers on pushing or helping engines shall be thirty- one (31) cents per hour and firemen twenty-two (22) cents per hour. Sec. 7. In work or wrecking service engineers and firemen will be paid for the actual mileage going to and coming from the working points, as well as pay for the actual work performed at the wreck or working point. Sec. 8. One year in yard service will entitle an engineer or fireman to full pay if called into road service, provided they be found competent, as per conditions contained in Article VII. 296 Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha R'y Co. Article II. In the event of there being a surplus of engineers or firemen for the ser- vice of the road, the older engineers and firemen will have the preference in employment. Article III. The time of engineers and firemen shall be computed on the basis of one hundred (100) miles or less for each day's work, and all mileage in excess of one hundred (100) miles, or time in excess of ten (10) hours, run each day, shall be paid for fro rata ; it being understood that engineers and firemen shall not be entitled to any overtime except where a full day's work of ten (10) hours or one hundred (100) miles has been performed. (For computation of overtime see Article VIII). This Article shall only apply to freight service. Article IV. If the mileage of any engineer or fireman shall fall below two thousand six hundred (2,600) miles in any one month, this result not being influenced by short runs of less than one hundred (100) miles, and they have been ready for service, losing no time on their own account, in such cases full time will be allowed. This Article contemplates the allowance of duty days enough in each month to give all regularly assigned engineers and firemen who have per- sonally reported each day, every working day in the month not covered by mileage, on the established basis of one hundred (100) miles for a day's work. If the total mileage of the month equals or exceeds as many hundreds of miles as there are working days in the month no duty time will be allowed. The question of duty time should be treated as follows: Unless a regularly assigned engineer or fireman asks to lay off, or the engine to which he is assigned shall be taken into the shops for repairs or other cause, if such engineer or fireman shall report for duty and express a wish to be employed, it will be the duty of the Master Mechanic or Foreman to provide such engineer or fireman with employment or allow time enough of what is classed as "on duty time" to give such engineer or fireman a full month's salary, as embodied in and on the basis of Articles II and IV, and it will be the duty of the Master Mechanic or Fore- man, if necessary to carry out this rule, to assign such engineer or fireman to some Other engine in charge of a younger engineer or fireman.

The investigation shall ordinarily be held within three (3) days; if charges are not sustained compensation shall be allowed for time lost at the rate of one hundred (100) miles per day. No punishment is to be fixed without a thorough investigation. Article VII. In promoting engineers to higher grades the oldest shall have the choice of runs, if competent; otherwise next oldest shall, be taken. In future all en- gineers shall rank from the date they pass the required examination, but it is understood that in the event of a younger fireman passing the examination ahead of an older fireman, through no fault of latter, the senior fireman shall assume his rank on engineers' list after passing the required examination; pro- vided he does not fail on first examination. In such event the younger fireman shall hold rights ahead of him on engineers' list. Article Vlll. Section 1. Overtime shall be paid for at the rate of ten (10) miles per hour, on the basis of rate and classification. Overtime will not be allowed un- til the total hours on duty exceed ten (10). Sec. 2.

Engineers and firemen delayed over one (1) hour after arrival at destination in giving up engine in such manner as rules of the terminal re- quire, shall be paid for all time lost, but no claim is to be made unless there is a delay of a full hour. Sec. 6. Engineers and firemen delayed on the road by accidents, wash- outs or snow, shall be paid for all time lost, provided it exceeds one (1) hour. This shall apply to passenger service only. Sec. 7. {a) If engineers and firemen are required to do switching at ter- minal stations, either before leaving or after arrival at such terminal, they will be paid extra for all such switching at the rate of ten (10) miles per hour. No extra compensation will be paid for switching service until the time on duty exceeds ten (10) hours. Less than thirty (30) minutes will not be counted. Thirty (30) minutes and less than one (1) hour will be counted as one (1) hour. Engine crews will not, however, be called on to do switching where switch en- gines are employed, except in case of absolute necessity. 298 Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha R'y Co. {d) Engine crews called upon to run special trains shall receive extra compensation for switching service at initial point and at destination under the same rules and at the same rates that apply to crews of regular trains. {c) On turn-arounds, extra compensation for switching will be allowed at turn-around point, provided there is a delay of thirty (30) minutes or more. No extra compensation, however, shall be allowed for switching at turn-around point until the mileage of turn-around trip shall exceed one hundred (100) miles, or until the hours on duty shall exceed ten (10). Sec. 8. Where engine crews are required to double hills, such crews will be allowed the extra mileage made, provided a' full day's service of one hun- dred (100) miles has been actually performed. Article IX. No fault shall be found with any engineer or fireman who refuses to go out without needed rest; eight (8) hours' rest being considered sufficient under ordinary circumstances. Article X. All engineers and firemen will run first in, first out, with exception of those assigned to regular runs. Article XI.

Article XV. When change of a division or train run requires men to change their place of residence, they will be furnished free transportation for their families and household goods. Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha R'y Co. 299 Article XVI. A terminal station for freight trains is the end of a freight division as such divisions are determined by time schedule. A terminal station is the initial point or the end of the run of a scheduled train, but for such scheduled train only. Article XVII. Compensation of engineers in charge of engines on transfer runs between Western Avenue and East St. Paul, East St. Paul and Minneapolis, and East SL Paul and Minnesota Transfer, shall (in case requisite length of time has been served, per Article I) be $3.70 per day of eleven (11) hours, all time over eleven (11) hours, at the rate of thirty-seven (37) cents per hour.

Article XIX. To avoid throwing regular assigned freight or passenger engines off their runs, it is agreed that when engine equipped with snow plow is sent out, so far as practicable assigned engineers who are running "first in first out" of en- gineers from extra list shall be taken, provided they have had sufficient rest and are familiar with the division on which snow plow is to go out, but this shall not excuse any engineer from taking snow plow engine if officially desig- nated so to do; if extra list engineer be sent with plow and before his return held on duty in charge of it at other points, he shall receive same detention time allowance as would be given regular engineer under like conditions; if engineer assigned to snow plow engine has not had sufficient time to make thorough examination of engine and tools thereon, he shall not be censured for failure to give satisfaction when such failure is attributable to lack of neces- sary tools and good working condition of engine, intention being that Master Mechanic or foreman in charge of engine house where extraplows are stored, shall see that same are equipped with suitable tools and engine and plow in proper condition for service. Article XX. Complaint being made that engines assigned to Eastern and Northern Divisions respectively have been bulletined as "first in, first out," regardless 300 Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha R'y Co. of capacity of engine, lines for which it is most suitable and residence of en- gineer, it is agreed that foremen of engine houses shall make every effort con- sistent with governing rules to keep such engineers as reside at Spooner, East St. Paul and Altoona on sub-divisions most convenient to their respective homes; but if demands of service require that men above referred to should take runs to other points, the question of residence must not govern. Article XXI. Where such a large number of engineers are listed extra, that many long in the service are not able to secure more work than some recently promoted, it is agreed'that' after assignment of such regular engineers as the Company considers necessary under Article IV, there shall be a less number of engineers than heretofore bulletined as extra and care taken to have seniors in service so listed, and younger engineers provided with situations as engine despatch- ers or firemen held by them previous to promotion, soon as it can conveniently be arranged. Article XXII. In case of damage to property by accident, engineers shall not be called upon for a money consideration, but in such cases will be disciplined by sus- pension or dismissal as circumstances may warrant. Article XXIII. To provide against delay in the investigation and settlement of responsi- bility for accidents, blank forms for rendering reports shall be kept by the Company in the offices of Division Superintendents, Master Mechanic, Train Masters and Foremen of engine houses, accessible to engineers, who, at the end of their run shall promptly make up a report and forward copy to Division Superintendent and Master Mechanic respectively, and in case the nature of the accident requires, to Claim Agent also. Article XXIV. Any engineer desiring to leave Motive Power Department and engage in train service or other business may by written application to and under writ- ten consent of the Master Mechanic have three (3) months leave of absence, without affecting his priority rights, but he shall not be entitled to any exten- sion of such leave of absence, unless his written application be again filed with the Master Mechanic and receives the favorable endorsement of the Division of Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to which he belongs, and the grant- ing of such extension so endorsed will be optional with the Master Mechanic. This shall not affect engineers who are unable to work on account of sickness or injury. Article XXV. Menomonie Day Run. Engineer, $3.35 per day. Fireman, $2.00 per day. This covers all overtime.

For overtime — Ten miles per hour for all time on duty in excess of one hour for each 10 miles allowed. Time on duty will be reckoned from the leaving time of train as specified in call to the arrival of train on designated track at end of trip. If engine is required to leave engine house track more than thirty minutes before leaving time of train as specified in call, time for enginemen will commence at the time engine is required to leave engine house track. Overtime on round trips exceeding 150 miles will be computed separ- ately in each direction. 6. Constructive time or mileage will be allowed as follows: In case a man is called for a run and after reporting for duty the run is annulled he will be paid for time lost, the time lost not to be counted less than 25 miles or two and one-half hours.

In the case of regularly assigned engine the number of days allowed not to be less than the number of single trips lost. Seniority. 1. In the choice of runs the engineer or fireman on that division who has been longest in the service as an engineer or fireman, as the case may be, will have preference, provided he is competent. 306 Chicago Great Western Railway A similar preference will apply to the promotion of firemen to be en- gineers. 2. Road men will take rank from date they are regularly assigned to road service. The oldest engineer in yard service will have preference to road ser- vice over firemen promoted, except that enginemen voluntarily running switch engine for one year or more will have no rights to road service. Road men in yard service of their own choice or who fail to return to road service when called on, forfeit their rights in road service. Engineers taking the position of firemen of their own choice do not retain their rights as firemen. The oldest fireman in road s_ervice will have preference as hostler in case of a vacancy. 3. A man assigned to a run will have no claim to any other run unless there is a vacancy or a new run put on. When a run is taken off the men assigned thereto will take their positions according to seniority. 4. Men accepting positions outside their regular line of promotion may retain their former seniority one year. Men leaving the Company's service lose all seniority rights. 5. A temporary vacancy in passenger service of more than ten days will be filled by the senior freight man; less than ten days by the first pool man out that is competent. 6. When road crews do not make 2,600 miles per month, the men most recently employed or promoted will be set back firing, or on the extra list, as the case may be. General Regulations. 1. Engine, except on the extra list, not assigned to regular runs, will run first in, first out, on their respective divisions or districts; a man relieved after only five hours' work being considered first out. A similar rule shall apply to men on extra list. 2. In running double-headers the first engineman out will go on first en- gine, unless there are regular assigned men, in which case the regular assigned men will take the first engine if the train is to be double-headed through. 4.

Round trips or doubling runs or several short runs made in a day will be considered as con- tinuous service and mileage will be allowed. Article V. A caller shall be employed at each main terminal point, who shall have a register book, and have written therein the time and trains men are called for, which shall be signed by the enginemen when called. Men shall be called as near as practicable one hour before leaving time. No callers will be furnished for men assigned to regular runs except by special arrangement.

Article XI. Enginemen when disabled or in need of rest, will not be required to go out, but must give timely notice of their disability when such is the fact, from any cause arising, and not wait until called for their engine, to return excuse of sickness or fatigue. Men will be judges of their own physical condition, but the ^Company reserves the right to refuse permission to go out when it is not thought that they are in condition to make the trip for want of rest, and ten hours will be considered sufficient time for rest. Article XII. Division Superintendents will furnish flagmen to accompany light engines over the road, except in cases where in their judgment it is not deemed neces- sary. Article XIII. All orders emanating from any department of the road where enginemen are afifected, shall be conveniently posted in train despatchers' office and engine house at all terminal or relay stations; time and date of posting on bul- letin affixed.

Article XVI. No more men shall be employed in the service than are necessary to do the work and earn a reasonable monthly compensation at the schedule estab- lished. When there is a surplus of engineers and firemen, and it becomes necessary to reduce the force, the oldest in service will have preference. Article XVII. When an engine is shopped for general repairs, the enginemen will be assigned to another engine. Enginemen assigned to regular runs where engines are pooled, shall go out on their runs regardless of what engine goes on the run, but enginemen assigned to regular engines on regular runs, in that case if an engine breaks Wisconsin Central Railway Co. 313 down or is held in for light repairs, the crew may wait for their engine, provid- ing they do not lose more than one trip or two days. When business is dull on any division, instead of hiring or promoting men on the division where men are required, the extra men will be transferred to said divisions if they so desire. They shall have the right to remain on the division to which they have been transferred, and hold rights from the time they are so transferred. Article XVIII. Seniority in service, merits being equal, will determine the rights of en- ginemen to regular engines and runs on their respective divisions when there is a vacancy (including main line and branches of same), and should it become necessary to set men back in service by reason of the discontinuance of any superior train, the same rule will apply. Article XIX. All engineers and firemen assigned regular engines will run first in, first first out, when practicable, with the exception of those assigned to regular runs. Article XX. Firemen will not be required to clean below the running board, scour brass in cab or paint front ends. Article XXI.

Article XXIII. If an engineer or fireman does not accept his turn in line of promotion when offered, or is found incompetent for the same, he ranks in the future (except in the case of disability) in all branches of the service, next behind the man who qualifies and accepts. Promotion to road engineer necessitates reg- ular service as fireman. When circumstances are favorable, firemen will be used as hostlers, and advanced through the grades of switch and pusher en- gineers to regular road service. Promotions and preferments will be based upon merit and the general good record of the men. None who are known to use liquor as a beverage will be selected. Candidates for promotion will be examined by the Superintendent of Motive Power or his proper representa- tives. 314 Iowa Central Railway Article XXIV. Engineers or firemen who, upon examination for promotion, fail, will be granted six months' time to post up; should they fail to pass the second exam- ination they will not be re-examined nor will they be promoted, and the Com- pmy reserves the right to dismiss them from the service. The division officer will be the judge of their qualifications. Effective August 1, 1900. S. J. Collins, , General Superintendent.

Commencing Nov. 1, 1901, the following arrangement for handling engine- men and firemen will be in effect. Please see that the practice conforms to it. This to apply to the Harlem, Hudson, Mohawk, Western, West Shore Divi- sions, Pa. Div. and the R. W. & O. Divisions. On all runs overtime will be paid on a basis of ten miles per hour, time to commence thirty minutes after registering at engine house and end when engine is delivered at point designated by the Company, this not to apply to pushing and switch engines. All under thirty minutes to be given to the Company; thirty minutes or more to count full hour. Overtime will be allowed enginemen and firemen on switch engines, work trains and pushers after twelve hours and thirty minutes at standard rates; switch enginemen to register where practicable. Enginemen and firemen should be required to live within a reasonable calling limit, and when they reside within one mile of engine house they will be called not to exceed two hours before engine is scheduled or marked to leave.

Enginemen and firemen held in readiness for service on Sunday or any other day and not used will be allowed a day's pay for each twelve hours or fractional part thereof. Enginemen and firemen called for service and not used and sent home shall be allowed a day's pay. All enginemen and firemen will be given a chance to defend themselves against charges, and in holding investigations Superintendents will be careful to get all the information possible, and hold investigations as soon as prac- ticable; enginemen and firemen not to be taken off until after investigation. If enginemen and firemen are suspended and afterward found innocent they will receive pay for time lost. All enginemen and firemen suspended will be notified of the cause and length of suspension. All vacant or new runs shall be posted on bulletin boards on the division or district in which they occur for bids, to close in not more than ten days; then the oldest engineman and fireman bidding shall be assigned to it within five days from time bids close. The number of enginemen and firemen in service will be kept at the lowest possible limit necessary to perform the work, and when reductions are made in the force the youngest men in service will be taken o£E first, all other things being equal. Enginemen set back to firing owing to falling off of business, their record in the latter case will be included as enginemen. Enginemen and firemen will be furnished monthly or quarterly passes over the respective divisions on which they are employed. Enginemen and firemen after completing trip taking twelve hours or more will be allowed eight hours' rest, if trip takes over twelve hours or less than twenty hours; if over twenty hours on trip ten hours rest to be allowed.

Central Railway of New Jersey 463 Article VII. When time claimed on time slips is not allowed, engineers and firemen will be promptly advised the reason for not allowing it. Article VIII. Engineeers and firemen who are called and report will be allowed twenty- five miles, and not lose their turn out. If they make any miles, fifty miles will be allowed, and not lose their turn out. If more than fifty miles are made, a minimum of one hundred miles will be allowed. When an engineer or fireman who has a regular run is called and reports, he will be allowed ten (10) miles an hour for the time held, or he will be allowed the actual miles made, in addition to being permitted to go out on his regular run. Engineers and firemen who are assigned to yard drill service will be allowed a minimum of 100 miles, unless relieved at their own request, in which event actual time made will be allowed.

Article IX. All vacancies or new runs will be bulletined ten days on the division affected. The oldest engineer or fireman in service as an engineer or fireman will be given the run, provided he is competent and capable of performing the service. Declining a run will not affect seniority except so far as that run is con- cerned, until a subsequent vacancy or a reduction in force occurs. Engineers and firemen who are employed in yard service, who have not asked to be assigned to road service in two years will lose their rights in road service. Article X. When for the convenience of engineers and firemen leave of absence is requested, they will be relieved at their starting point, except in case of sick- ness or death. One-half actual mileage will be allowed if on account of the Company, but nothing for deadheading for accommodation of fellow employe. Article XI. Where callers are employed, engineers and firemen who live within a dis- tance of one mile of enginehouse will be called a reasonable time before the leaving time of their train, and will sign their names and time called.

Article XII. In order to give sufficient time for rest, m^n will not be called to go out when it can be avoided, sooner than ten hours after arrival, they to be the judge if additional rest is required, in which event man in charge must be notified on arrival of run. Article XIII. An engineer running a train that is taken off will be placed on the train he had before. If this train is not in existence he will be placed on a train in the same class of service he had been running in if his age entitles him to it, provided there is not a suitable train vacant, or a train that has recently been filled th%t can be assigned to him. An engineer whose train has been taken off will not be assigned to a lower class of service, if there is a younger engineer in that class, neither will he be assigned to night duty and younger engineers retained in day service unless he be willing. Engineers of trains that have been taken off will take the train when it is restored in preference to other engineers. All men affected by a train being taken off will return to their former positions when train is restored. Article XIV. When a surplus of firemen exists or a train is taken off, the youngest fire- man in a passenger group or terminal shall be taken out and placed in the position held by the youngest fireman in passenger service on said division; and the fireman so affected shall be placed in the position held by the young- est fireman in regular freight service; and the fireman so affected shall be be placed in the position held by the youngest fireman in drill service; and the fireman so affected shall be placed in the position held by the youngest fire- man in service as a fireman. This rule shall apply to firemen of all class runs or engines, but shall npt apply to temporary summer or winter schedules, or extra runs. It is under- stood that these men will return to their former positions. Article XV. All engineers and firemen will be assigned to runs when practicable to do so. All engineers and firemen not assigned to runs will run first in first out, and will be termed as " Pool service." O^ily enough engineers and firemen will be retained in the pool service to handle the biisiness properly. A surplus will be understood to exist when men in this service for two successive months do not make an average of 2,000 miles per month. In reducing the force the most competent men will be retained, preference being given to the men oldest in the service. Those most recently employed may be permanently relieved or laid off, as may be found necessary. Central Railway of New Jersey 465 Article XVI. When engineers or firemen leave one division of their own accord to work on another division, they shall be considered new employes on the division to which they are assigned. If, however, they are temporarily transferred by order of an official they retain their rights on their own division. Article XVII. Firemen will be promoted according to seniority on their respective divisions. In case a fireman entitled to promotion by seniority fails to pass examina- ' tions, he will be returned to his duty as fireman without prejudice to his rights. He will at the expiration of six months or less make application to the proper official for re-examination, and his re-examination will take precedence when engineers are required. Said applicant, if he so desires, may be accompanied by one or two enginemen who have passed similar examinations. Article XVIII. Engineers and firemen who leave the service to engage in other business, or to work on other roads, and who may subsequently be re-employed, shall rank as new men, and date only from such re-employment, provided they have not been granted a leave of absence.

Prompt advice of the decision in his case will be furnished. Any engineer or fireman taken out of service and found innocent, or witnesses with- drawn from service by the Company, shall be allowed the rate of pay they would have received had they not been withdrawn from service. Article XXII. This schedule gives the general practice to be followed for the advance- ment and changing of employes, but does not relieve the officials from requir- 466 Philadelphia & Reading Railway ing faithful discharge of duties, and all appointments and changes shall, as far as possible, be made on the following conditions: First — Fitness for position. 5^ir(7«(/— Previous record for faithful service. ' Third — Length of such service. Article XXIII. Nothing contained in this schedule shall be construed to contradict or nul- lify the transportation rules of the Company. J. H.

TERRE HAUTE & INDIANAPOLIS RAIL= ROAD COMPANY (V. T. MALOTT. Receiver) TERRE HAUTE & LOQANSPORT RAILWAY CO. General Notice. There have been submitted to the management, by committees claiming to represent the employes in the train service of the Vandalia Line, certain schedules of wages for consideration and favorable action. These schedules consist of a long list of articles relative to rates of pay, payment of overtime, discipline of employes, and the adjustment of minor matters. Vandalia Line The presentation of these schedules does not appear to be the result of any widespread feeling that the earnings of the employes are inadequate com- pensation or compare unfavorably with those received on other roads in the same territory, nor do they appear to be a protest against any long-suffered wrongs and abuses. On the contrary, the committees admit that the treatment the employes have received has generally been fair and equitable. The substance of the petitions is as follows: First — An increase in rates of pay. Second — Changes in the method of computing overtime. Third— Rules for the government and discipline of the employes, and the administration of the company's business. The rates of pay on these lines have been carefully compared with the rates paid on other lines and are found to be as high, and in many cases higher thon those obtaining elsewhere. Some adjustments are considered to be necessary and have been made; of these employes will receive notice through their respective superintendents. The basis of overtime heretofore used has resulted in an unfair distribu- tion among the men of the sums paid on this account. The basis of overtime has been, and is under the new schedule, more liberal than the basis used by other companies. The distribution hereafter will be more in proportion to the work done. A number of articles refer to local conditions, the number of men on crews and similar matters. Some of these have been adjusted, and others will receive attention at the hands of the proper officers. Some of the articles refer to packing pistons, filling oil cups, coaling en- gines and other matters. Where the conditions are such that the convenience of men can be increased without being detrimental to the interests of the Com- pany, changes will be made in the future as they have been in the past. While the responsibilities between a railroad company and its employes are reciprocal, a company also has responsibilities to the public and to its shareholders. The law places upon a company the' responsibility of perform- ing these various duties and of the management of the railroad property. It does not permit the delegation of them to other persons nor the limitation by contract of the exercise of its proper functions in the performance of the duties with which it is charged. The Company will not grant the request that for every three firemen pro- moted, one engineer shall be hired from among those not already in the Com- pany's service. It has almost without exception followed the policy of pro- moting its competent firemen, many of whom have to serve from four to eight years before opportunity occurs for promotion, it would be unfair to these men and prejudicial to the service to increase the period of apprenticeship, and the Company, while reserving the right in the future, as it has in the past, to em- ploy in any position anyone it sees fit, or deems to its interest to engage, will continue to promote in its service competent, faithful and loyal men; and. Vandalia Line 499 while it is the practice to promote the oldest capable man, its officers will always reserve the right to determine the qualifications of each man, and to recognize and reward individual ability, loyalty and merit. As this reply aEfects the interests of all employes, whether directly repre- sented by the committee or not, it is proper that all should understand the position of the Company, and a copy of this reply will therefore be bulletined in the usual manner.

On all way freight runs, not otherwise specified, detention will be paid^for the time used in making the trip, in excess of the time necessary to complete the trip, at an average speed of eight (8) miles per hour. In all construction, wreck, and pilot or pusher' service, twelve (12) hours will constitute a day's work, deducting meal hour, straight titne will be paid from start to finish for the work performed on the hourly basis. On specified runs the monthly rate includes detention, and all work in connection with the run. Detention will be computed from the time a train is ordered to leave the point of departure until it is registered in at the arriving terminal. Fractions of an hour less than thirty-five (35) minutes will not be counted. Fractions of an hour, thirty-five minutes or over, will be counted as one hour. Unusual terminal delays to engineers and firemen in road service to be reported ou a separate ticket. Rates for Miscellaneous Service. Engineers and firemen acting as pilots shall 'receive, the scheduled rate for the class of service performed. Authorized deadheading, on the Company's business will be paid at half the passenger rate for the district traveled. Crews assigned to specified runs will be paid extra for work done outside of the regular run, at the rates effective for the class of service performed, and failing to make a full month, will be paid pro rata for the service performed. Shop time, including work on locomotives from erecting shops, to be paid engineers and firemen at the rate of 12.00 and $1.14 respectively, for each day of twelve (12) hours. Engineers or firemen watching locomotives under steam or in tow, will be paid at the rate of $1.14 for each day of twelve (12) hours, such rate will be paid only to the person performing the service. Watching service includes wiping locomotives under steam. When a train is cancelled, one-quarter (X) of a day, shop rate, will be paid if the crew is released after they have signed the appearance book, but if a train can be found within one (1) hour, detention only will be paid at the expiration of the trip. At stations where no regular force is provided, engineers and firemen will be paid at the rate of twenty-five (25) and fourteen (14) cents, respectively, for cleaning the fire, turning and housing each locomotive at night. Firemen required to shovel coal on locomotive tenders will be allowed pay at the rate or seven (7) cents per ton.

The trip rate for engineers and firemen on day train 'runs between Hamil- ton and Port Dover, will include the pulling of the boat at Port Dover. General Rules. When engineers and firemen make a trip over more than one district, the rate of pay will be prorated on the different rates for the class of service per- formed on the districts run over. On the Eastern, Northern, Middle and Southern Divisions in cases where several districts are run over and the mileage made on one or more of them is twenty-five miles (or less) on each, the rate of pay for the trip will be computed at the rate for the district on which the greater mileage is made. When runs on the higher rated districts are necessarily [detoured to the lower rated districts, the trip will be paid at the same rate had the run been made over the higher rated district, and vice versa. The trip mileage will be computed from the train mileage. When engineers and firemen, whose compensation is on a mileage basis, are obliged to double grades on account of the train tonnage exceeding the rated capacity of the locomotive, such mileage will be paid at the rate specified for the grade, and at the rate effective for the class of service performed, and the time so made will be deducted from any detention earned. Engineers and firemen taken from trains on the road ro assist other trains will be allowed actual mileage at the rate effective for the class of train assisted, and the time so made will be deducted from any detention earned. Engineers and firemen of road locomotives will be paid at switching rates when they are required to switch for one (1) hour or more after the departure time of the train called for, or after the time the train is registered in at a ter- n^'"*^'- Assignment of Crews. Through freight locomotives and crews, not assigned to preferred freight runs, will be run first in first out on the district to which they belong, as far as practicable, in the service to which they are assigned. 552 The Grand Trunk Railway System Crews on yard locomotives will take turn about, working the day and night shift for a period of two (2) weeks. Spare work will be performed by the spare men, first in first out, if com- petent for the service required. Upon application of the man entitled to the run, temporary vacancies of fifteen (16) days or more on passenger runs, will be filled by the qualified senior man in the freight service. The spare list will be posted, it being the duty of the spare men to give continual attention to it, and be prepared for duty at any time, unless they shall have received permission to be absent. ' Spare men not at home when called will lose their turn and fall to the bot- tom of the list. Engineers who are liable to be called upon for spare service shall not be employed as firemen on passenger locomotives. Calls. Engineers and firemen must respond promptly to the call for duty. A grievance, real or imaginary, should take the form of a complaint to be inquired into and dealt with at the proper time, but it does not justify a refusal to comply with instructions. A caller will be kept at stations where it is necessary to call the engineers and firemen. Men will be called at their regular registered residences, and as nearly as possible, one and one-half (1%) hours before the leaving time of the train. Each man when called must sign the call-book, which will show the time called and the departure time of the train called for. The distance limit for calling not to exceed one mile except in cases where this rule would impose a hardship on engineers and firemen, who, at the present time, possess homes located outside of this limit. Engineers and firemen who are assigned to regular runs will not be called or trains leaving between the hours of seven (7) a. m. and eight (8) p. m., but, if request is made of the foreman in charge, men who may arrive after eight (8) p. M. will be called for a regular run leaving at seven (7) A. m. Rest. Engineers and firemen, after a continuous service of sixteen (16) hours or more, may have eight (8) hours' rest before they are again called upon for ser- vice, except in case of emergency. Leave of Absence. Leave of absence must be obtained from foreman in charge. In the event of illness, notice must be immediately given, that a substitute may be provided. Promotion. Senior engineers and firemen will have the precedence for promotion, dependent upon their general good conduct, faithful discharge of tbeir.duties. The Grand Trunk Railway System 553 and ability to assume increased responsibility; the Master Mechanic to be the judge. Vacancies on first-class trains will be filled as soon as practicable. New men employed as locomotive firemen will be in probationary service for six months. Station and divisional promotion will prevail, the latter for first-class trains. The first (1st) district will be considered as a division for promotional purposes. Engineers and firemen who fail to pass the Motive Power and Transporta- tion Department requirements on first trial will be given an opportunity to pass a second examination, and failing, will be dismissed. On the Western Division promotion of firemen from the junior to the senior class, after one (1) continuous year of satisfactory service; engineers after one year of satisfactory service as engineer. Discipline. Frequenting saloons, the use of intoxicating liquors, or insubordination, will be a sufficient cause for dismissal. No engineer or fireman will be dismissed or suspended from the service, except temporary suspension pending investigation, without a fair and impar- tial hearing.

Southern Railway Company 583 rules and regulations. 1. These rates cover all service incidental to the trip. Rates for new runs will be made when- necessary, based on rates for similar runs now in effect. Trips made, including deadheading, to a point for which rate is not named, will be allowed rate to first point beyond. When men are assigned to runs, except where minimum day rates are fixed, and are unable to make the minimum given below within twelve hours after reporting for duty, they will be paid the following for a day's work: Passenger: Enginemen, $3.00; white firemen, $1.50; colored firemen, $1.20. Freight: Enginemen, $4.00; white firemen, $2.00; colored firemen, $1.60. 2. Regular work train enginemen will be paid $3.25 per day, work train firemen, white, $1.65; colored, $1.80 per day, 12 hours or less constituting a day's work. Regular work trains are those provided with camp cars or assigned to specified limits for a longer period than six (6) consecutive days. When camp cars are not provided the rates of pay on regular work trains will be ten (10) per cent, higher than those named in this rule. Extra or temporary work train service will be paid as follows: Engine- men, $4.00; white firemen, $2.00; colored firemen, $1.60 per day, twelve (12) hours or less constituting a day's work. Wood trains will be classed as tem- porary work trains. Enginemen and firemen of work trains will be considered on duty every week day regardless of the weather, except when relieved at terminals. No time will be allowed for Sundays, except when on duty by competent authority. 3. Overtime will be computed and paid on following basis: When trains have been delayed between terminals more than the time that should be used at twenty miles per hour in case of passenger trains, ten miles per hour on through freights, and eight miles per hour on local freights, enginemen will be paid 40 cents; white firemen 20 cents; colored firemen 15 cents per hour. Provided, that runs over fifty and less than 100 miles shall not be paid overtime until passenger trains have been on the road six hours, through freights ten hours, and local freights twelve hours. Runs of fifty miles or under will be paid on the same basis, viz: passenger three hours, through freights five hours, and local freights six hours. When trains are detained the men will be paid for additional mileage made on basis of the rate of service they are in. Work train and switch enginemen will be paid 30 cents; firemen, white, 15 cents; colored, 10 cents per hour; for time made in excess of twelve hours. When engine crews are called to go to wrecks or washouts, they will be paid passenger trip rates, and overtime rate for all time actually engaged in working at wrecks or washouts. Overtime in all cases will begin when the excess time is over thirty (30) minutes. When overtime is not allowed men will be promptly notified. 584 Southern Railway Company 4. When trains are held out of yard or engines are detained after arriving at terminals, enginemen and firemen will be paid overtime; and if they are called upon to make up their trains or do station switching at points at which switch engines are located, they will be paid overtime; but the term "switching" is not intended to cover the setting out of cars nor the taking on of cars at ter- minals in case of emergency. 5. Switch enginemen and firemen will be allowed one hour for meals. 6. For attending court as witnesses for this Company, road enginemen will be paid J4.00, work train and switch enginemen $3.00; white firemen $2.00, colored firemen $1.60, for each day lost on the road on account of court. The Company will also furnish necessary transportation and allow $1.00 per day each for living expenses when away from home. The Company will be en- titled to the certificates for witness fees in all cases. 7. Where callers are employed, engine crews will be called, provided they reside within one mile of enginehouse. The caller will have a book in which the enginemen and firemen shall register their names and record tlie time when called. Time will commence one hour after they sign caller's book. If trains are annulled after enginemen and firemen are called or notified to be in place, they will be paid overtime until relieved, computed from the time they are called or notified, provided they have reported for duty. 8. When enginemen and firemen are required to deadhead they will be paid one-half of the rates paid on the train on which they travel, as per rule 1. 9. The rights of enginemen and firemen to runs will be determined by their Superintendent, record, qualifications and seniority to govern. No more men will be retained than maybe necessary to move the traffic of the road promptly. Seniority in yard service shall rule in making assignments to yard runs. 10. Enginemen and firemen may claim eight hours' rest after they have been on duty twelve hours and completed their runs. Enginemen shall not be required to go out with a train after they have been on the road eighteen (18) hours or more, until they have had ten (10) hours' rest. 11. Enginemen and firemen will not be discharged without an investiga- tion, which will be made, if possible, within five days, and in their presence. They will have the privilege of bringing to the investigation, to assist them, an engineman or fireman, as the case may be, of their own selection, provided such person is employed and is in good standing on the division. If found blameless, they will be paid for time lost. If discharged they will be furnished with a written statement showing the cause. 12. No grievance will be entertained unless presented in writing to the Superintendent within thirty days after its occurrence. They shall have the right to appeal, provided such appeal is made in writing, within thirty days after the Superintendent has rendered his decision. Southern Railway Company 585 13. Enginemen or firemen who have been discharged, or have voluntarily left the service of the Company, and are afterwards re-employed, wiU rank as new men. ■ ' - ' 14. When a relief engine is sent to replace a disabled engine, the engine- man .and fireman of the delayed train will take charge of the relief engine and proceed on their run. While waiting for a relief engine they will, if practic- able, put the disabled engine in condition to be moved under steam, and the engineman and fireman of the relief engine will take the disabled engine to the shop. For this, or any other emergency service, enginemen and firemen will be paid'overtime rates as per Rule 3, and will not lose their runs, unless they return too late for their regular schedule. When an engine is held at any other than a terminal point where an engine hostler is not provided, or where an engineman in making a round trip is held on his engine waiting for train, or where the rule governing overtime in the previous Article does not apply, the engineman shall be paid 35 cents per hour when specially required to care for his engine. When firemen are required to watch engines, they shall be paid 15 cents per hour. Where wipers are employed, firemen will, not be required to clean engines below the running board. 15. If, by reason of extra business on any division, additional crews are needed for such division, the youngest enginemen and firemen from other divi- sions may be transferred to that division. Men so transferred will not lose their rights on their home division, and will be returned to their home division when the conditions justify. 16. When engines are run light, with or without cabooses, over any por- tion of the road, a conductor will be furnished when possible. If for any rea- son a conductor cannot be furnished, a flagman will be provided. White men will always be used as pilots. 17. Vacancies in the ranks of enginemen and firemen will be filled by promotion, when practicable, record, qualifications and- seniority to govern. 18. It is the rule of the Company to employ a permanent force of switch enginemen and such men will not be in line of promotion. Switch enginemen will be selected from the ranks of road enginemen, road firemen and hostlers. 19. Sixty days' notice will be given of any contemplated reduction in the rates of pay under this schedule. Frank S. Gannon, Third Vice-President and General Manager. 586 Louisville, Evansville & St. L.
