Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Journal, Vol. 57: May 7, 1921 One night while a claim agent for an interurban was riding a car he got a stiff scare and a good hunch. On a railroad crossing the wheel left the wire and the car was stalled. A heavy freight, traveling fast, was coming and a smash was narrowly averted. When the claim agent got his breath back he realized what a staggering total might have been charged up to his department. So next morning he told his story and National Trolley Guard was recommended as the remedy. National Trolley Guard is an inverted trough of open wire mesh which stops the wheel when it leaves the wire and furnishes power to carry the car into the clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Journal, 1922 Under the transportation act, the Railroad Labor Board, in determining what is a just and reasonable wage, is directed to take into consideration the following seven factors; 1. The scale of wages paid for similar kinds of work in other industries. 2. The relation between wages and the cost of living. 3. The hazards of employment. 4. The training and skill required. 5. The degree of responsibility. 6. The character and regularity of the employment, and 7. Inequalities of increases in wages or treatment, the result of previous wage orders or adjustments. Of these, the last five relate primarily to the conditions of railway employment, while the first two represent between them quite different bases for determining wages in any industry. When results derived from them do not coincide, greater weight must be given either to one plan or the other. How and to what extent to do this was the problem which faced the Labor Board in its decision on the question of the wages of the maintenance of way men this week. Both factors were considered by the board, which wisely declares it lays greater stress on the first basis or that of the scale of wages paid for similar kinds of work in other industries. Its decision also points out that an increase of 2 cents in the wages of the trackmen is thereby warranted, whereas under the cost of living plan there would be no increase because there had been no increase in the cost of living. After all, the law of supply and demand is the one which practically will have to be controlling in any rising wage market, whether a company or labor board wishes to consider it or not. If men can secure higher wages elsewhere than in the case under arbitration, they will not stay on their old jobs simply because figures can be produced to show that they are receiving a "living wage." The law of supply and demand is also very much simpler to apply. Evidence varies as to the most fundamental facts of the cost of living method, namely, the average number of dependents and the average number of workers in a family, and a still greater problem is to decide the standard of living and the cost of it. One housekeeper can live well and save on a sum which would not be sufficient for bare living to another. It is indeed well that the United States Labor Board had the conviction and courage to explode the appealing theory that the "cost of living" should be considered as a main factor in establishing wages before the hold of this theory upon industry should become any more firm. The weakness of this method is demonstrated by the efforts of labor so to increase the standard of living that wages should continue to climb despite the downward trend of prices of necessities. If the living-wage plan were sound it would have carried wages down just as it carried them up, and labor's experts would not have had to devise new standards of living to counteract natural laws. The standard of living should improve, to be sure, but not so rapidly as to wreck the industry in the process. Incidentally, the increase in wages of the trackmen granted in Chicago and the increase in the steel wages made last summer call attention again to the growing scarcity in the labor market, particularly in the class called "common labor." In the past the greater part of the supply in the country of this class of labor has come from immigrants, particularly in recent years from Italy and other southern European nations. This supply has been largely cut off, owing to the present immigration law, and with the present increased business activity the lack of men to do unskilled work will seriously hamper industrial expansion hoped for in the early future. This does not mean that there need be a return to the old immigration limitations, which were largely educational. Some change, however, should be made to admit those who are able, by their entrance, to inc

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Journal: November 3, 1928 In The Omaha newspapers last week there appeared full-page statements by the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway outlining the company's position with reference to its toll bridge which links the two cities. Agitation for a free bridge is not a new thing in Omaha or in Council Bluffs, but its injection into the franchise negotiations can be credited largely to Senator Howell of Nebraska, who apparently would seize what appears to be a golden opportunity to wrest political advantage from an already difficult situation. In President Shannahan's explanation of the intricate details of the bridge ownership by the Council Bluffs company and its leasing by the Omaha company, the complete story of the bridge lease, the financial set-up of the Council Bluffs company, the obligations of the Omaha company, the financial service performed by the toll bridge for both cities, and the effect upon Omaha and Council Bluffs of a competing non-toll bridge are dearly detailed. It is very frankly the intent of this message to enlist the sympathetic comprehension and support of the citizens of both cities in finding a satisfactory solution to a situation which is in no wise the creation of the present management, yet threatens now to jeopardize the granting of a new street railway franchise without which the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway cannot continue to render efficient transportation service. Threatened more or less seriously with a proposal by some citizens that Omaha and Council Bluffs co-operate to build a free bridge, the street railway officials arc very wisely taking the public into their confidence, openly publishing the facts in the case, and asking for a square deal. The clear-cut, frank explanation of the position of the company and its attitude must commend it to every thinking citizen. The Omaha company has expressed clearly its willingness to co-operate to the fullest extent in effecting an arrangement which will be satisfactory to the public it serves. "We trust the public," declared Mr. Shannahan. "While we are aware of its desire for a non-toll bridge, we also have confidence in the public's intention to be fair with us. We believe that the public will be willing to pay for the bridge on its fair and just value. We likewise believe that the public will be willing to have this value determined in an impartial manner." Here again is an expression of confidence in the attitude of the American public. Whether or not the public in Omaha will in this instance deal fairly with its railway, only time alone will tell. Usually the man on the street has been handicapped by lack of facts. Here, however, he has the facts; clearly, openly and succinctly stated. The question is not one of the fairness of the public. It is instead a question of whether the public is able and willing to deal with facts and to detect in the glittering promises of those who seek to strike a popular chord by promising something for nothing, the hidden motive of personal advancement at the taxpayer's expense. Co-ordinating Building Development with Transit Facilities Literary license is the right of Deems Taylor. Still it came as a surprise to discover the editor of Musical America and the composer of the music of "The King's Henchman" writing for Vanity Fair an article "The City That Died of Greatness."He is an alarmed New Yorker who discusses what the skyscrapers are doing to his home town. Imaginative artist that he is, Mr. Taylor closes by indicating that perhaps the best thing to do after all would be to wait ten years until New York is so hopelessly congested that no one can move at all. The population will then migrate in a body, and New York can be set aside by the government as a national park - the city that was so prosperous nobody could afford to buy real estate; that was such an ideal place of business, nobody could transact any business; th
