graphic chart which showed there had

speak of with the idea of getting hour

Following this Mr. Worthington in-
t1 oduced a number of exhibits to show
the comparison in pay of conductors,
firemen and trimmed, with the wages
or the engineers. In submitting the
table Mr. Worthington said; “The ob-
ject of that table is three-fold:
"1. Mr. Stone has made the claim
that the wages of the engineers have
not been increased in the same ratio
as other classes of service. Th'e table
show clearly that. the engineers have
gone right along, bud shows about the
some increase from time to time as
the conductors, and, in most cases, a
higher ratio of increase than other
classes of service.

The Conuuissioncrs, together with
the railroads' witness, indulged "in
considerable discussimi as to the dif-
ference in the pay of railroad em-
ployes in the Western and Southern
groups, as compared with the eastern
group. Mr. Morrissey said in this 90“”
nectlon: “ Al’cw years ago I under-
