Alexander VON HOFFMANN PRESS 1918 FOREWORD This book contains schedules and wage scales in effect December 31, 1917. It has been a difficult task to get copies of all the schedules and wage scales in existence, and there are twelve missing from this compilation because no copies were available. In some few instances the rate of wages has been raised above what is herein shown, but in no case are there any reductions in the rates. In the back part of the book some agreements with the various Express Companies are shown, where station agents act in a joint capacity as agents for the Express Companies. On December 28, 1917, the United States took possession and assumed control of the railroads. A Director General of Railroads was appointed and a Railroad Wage Commission. This constitutes an epoch in the work of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, and it is meet and fitting that its work and achievements up to this time should be made a matter of record, hence the compilation of existing schedules and wage scales. It is confidently expected that it will be necessary to print and publish revised editions of this work from time to time as there is much remedial work yet to be done. \ Yours fraternally, H. B. PERHAM, President 317060 Schedules and Wage Scales.

The following rules and rates of pay will hereafter be observed in the employment of telegraphers. ARTICLE II. Employes required to perform telegraph service, of any character or duration, and other employes included in this schedule of wages, will be considered telegraphers, within the, meaning of this agreement, ir- respective of title by which designated, or character of service performed. It is un- derstood that where there is a station agent and one or more telegraphers, the telegra- phers report to, and are under the full authority of the station agent. ARTICLE III. Telegraphers as per Article II are in line of promotion over the entire system, except that men hired after January 1st, 1910, will have rights only on the division on which they were hired, advancement depending upon the faithful discharge of duty and capacity for increasing responsibility. Where merit, fitness and ability permit, seniority will have preference. The proper officials of the company will determine the fitness, of telegraphers to fill position bid for, pro- vided the senior applicant shall, if any doubt exists as to his ability, be granted a fair and impartial examination for the position applied for. Any telegrapher will have the •right to appeal from the decision, personally, or thTough the station agents' committee, to the general manager. ARTICLE IV. A roster of telegraphers will be prepared and a copy of the same furnished to each telegraph oflflce and will be revised semi- anmially. ARTICLE V. Telegraphers will be advised of all per- manent vacancies or new positions as soon as they exist, by a notice sent to each tele- graph oflice announcing location and wages, where wage scale has been changed, and they shall file claim to the positions within ten (10) days after date of notice. Such positions shall be permanently filled at the expiration of twenty (20) days when pos- sible. The trading of positions will not be permitted. When a telegrapher bids in and is notified of his assignment to a position he win not be allowed to bid for his former position until it has been once filled and again becomes vacant. When a telegrapher becomes incapacitated or unable to fill his position, or his regular position is abolished, he will be assigned to extra work, if there is any and will retain his seniority. ARTICLE VI, Telegraphers declining to accept promo- tion will not forfeit their rights to the same or any other position they may be entitled to, when a vacancy occurs or a new posi- tion is created. ARTICLE VII. Telegraphers will not be dismissed or suspended without just cause. In the event of suspension or dismissal they will have the right within ten (10) days to refer their cases by written statement to the proper official, who shall, within seven (7) days of the receipt ot such statement, give their case a thorough investigation, at which they will have the right to be present, if they desire, and to be accompanied by fellow em- ployes of their choice and class. In case they are not satisfied with the result of such investigation, they will have the right to appeal their case to higher officials in their regular order up to the president. In case the suspension or dismissal is found to be unjust, they will be reinstated and paid for time lost. In the matter of errors made by station agents or their assistants in billing, deliv- ering cr handling freight in any manner, it was mutually agreed that some system must be established by which station agents will share in the losses resulting therefrom, and it was agreed that in such cases as the mana,§ement might decide a portion of such losses ought to be charged against the station agent, that proportion would be fif- teen per cent of the amount in each instance that the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Com- pany was obliged to pay, with a maximum charge against any station agent in any one case of ten (10) dollars. Also in the event of it being inconvenient for a station agent to pay all of this amount at once, the payment might be spread over a period of six (6) months by deducting equal amount.s monthly from his wages until paid. The above also to apply to errors in pas- senger matters. ARTICLE Vin. If telegraphers are, by direction of the company, called upon to be in attendance in court, or at inquests, or otherwise, upon matters involving protection to. or in the in- 34 Schedules and Wage Scales. teie.st of the company, they will be con- .' idered and paid as if on duty, and allowed necessary expenses away from home, pro- vided, however, that if the witness fees and mileage they draw are equal to or ex- ceed what they would earn and their ex- penses, the company shall not pay any- thing, the intention being that a man shall not lose anything by being away from his work. ARTICLE IX. When additional telegraph positions are <-reated, Or new duties added to positions already existing, compensation will be fixed in conformity with positions of the same class, as shown in the wage scale. ARTICLE X. Two regular relief station agents shall be employed, who will receive the salary of the man relieved, but in no case less thaji $3.30 per day. Vacancies in the regular relief station agent's staff will be advertised in the usual way and the senior qualified applicant will receive the appointment. A regular assigned telegrapher taken away from his permanent location to do relief woik will, without change in salary, be al- lowed for actual expenses not exceeding fiftj' cents per day.

ARTICLE XIL Dispatchers will relieve employes for meals between 11.00 a. m. and 1:00 p. m.; when required to remain on duty during meal hours they shall receive one (1) hour overtime therefor and shall be allowed thirty (50) minutes as soon thereafter as con^ditions may warrant. Employes occupying eight or nine hour (trick) positions are not entitled to meal hours under this rule, but will be relieved for lunch when conditions warrapt. ARTICLE XIII. Oveitime will be allowed for all time woiked in excess of the regular established houiK and will be paid for at one-tenth of the regular rate per day per hour. Overtime will be computed on the minute basis.

The minimum allowance for this service shall be one hour. This article is not intended to apply to employes -reporting regularly for regular trains, but is intended to apply to special calls for extra trains, or for special purposes, either by messages from the superintendent's offlce or notice from some train crew that desires to get into communication with the super- intendent's ofllce.

In case he is dissatisfied with the result of the investi- gation, he shall have the right to appeal his case in the regular order to the highest operating official of the company; when not found at fault he shall be allowed to resume his duties and be paid for the time lost and his record to remain as previously thereto. Employes shall be notified of cause and length of suspension. The right to appeal from any decision as to discipline, discharge or application of rules of this schedule, must be exercised within fifteen (15) days from date of deci- sion, this rule to apply on each successive appeal. V • RULE IV, Employes are in line for positions or for promotion. Other things being equal, length of service will govern in selection of men for positions or for promotion, but the character of the service to be performed, efficiency and faithful discharge of duty will in every case be considered, and the man who, in the judgment of the employing official, will render the most efficient serv- ice and insure the highest degree oX safety will be given position bid or applied for, or for promotion.

Employes holding a position where tele- graph service Is not required shall not lose their roster standing privileges for bidding for other positions. Employes not covered by Rule II will not be considered eligible to bid on positions covered by this agreement.

RULE X. When an employe holding a permanent position is absent from duty on account of sickness or other cause to exceed sixty (60) days, the position shall be posted as a tem- porary position to cover the' leave of ab- sence, to all employes on the division for five (5) days, and the successful applicant to be assigned within ten (10) days from date of notice. 54 Schedules and Wage Scales.

The following rules and rates of pay will govern the employment of telegraphers and station agents, whose duties require them to perform telegraph service, also agents not required to telegraph (as shown in wage scale) employed upon the line of this company. RULES. 1. All employes assigned by proper author- ity to the railway telegraph or railway tele- phone service of any character or duration, and also the station agents incorporated in the -accompanying schedule of wages, will be considered telegraphers within the meaning of this schedule and are so called herein. 2. Wlien new positions are created the compensation therefor will be fixed in con- formity with positions of the same class in this schedule. 3. All employes in the telegraph service will bo regarded as in line for promotion, advancement depending upon faithful dis- charge of duties and capacity for increased responsibility. Where ability and conduct permit, seniority rules will govern. The proper oiTicial of the company shall deter- mine the fitness of telegraphers for employ- ment and advancement. Seniority rights will date from last date of entering the service. 4. Telegraphers covered by this schedule will not be suspended or discharged without just cause, and will be accorded fair and impartial investigation. When wanted for investigation the telegrapher will be given sufficient notice, stating specific charges. He may be accompanied by an employe rep- resenting his class, if he so desires, who may remain throughout the entire hearing. In case of suspension or dismissal after in- vestigation and the decision is not satisfac- tory, the case may be appealed to the higher officials in regular order, and, in the event he is found not guilty he will be re-instated and paid for all time lost. 5. (a) Seniority will only be effective when vacancies occur, new positions created, or positions abolished, except that agents will not be displaced. (b) A telegrapher shall not be eligible to a position vacated by him until same shall have been advertised. 6. A seniority list of all employes covered by this schedule will be issued semi-annually by the company, and a copy of same fur- nished to all employes affected. 7. (a) All vacancies or new positions will be advertised for a period of ten days, bul- letins to be issued on the tenth and twenty- fifth of each month and sent to each office by mail. These bulletins to show rates of pay and hours of service of positions. Bul- letins will be mailed to telegraphers who are absent. All vacancies to be filled within twenty days after bids close by the telegra- pher entitled to it. A telegrapher not trans- ferred within the specified time will receive relief agent's salary thereafter until trans- fer is made. Each bulletin will show award of positions advertised in previous issue. (b) Positions or vacancies of six months' or more duration shall be considered perma- nent and so advertised. Positions of more than thirty days and less than six months' duration shall be considered temporary and so advertised. When temporary vacancies or new positions are bid in by a regular man, he will revert back to his regular position upon the return of the regular man, or when temporary position is abolished. When the duration of a temporary vacancy or new position exceeds six months the po- sition shall be considered permanent and so advertised, except, when the vacancy is caused by sickness, disability, committee work, or special duty for the company. In case of a temporary vacancy of less than thirty days at an office where two or more telegraphers are employed, the as- signed telegrapher at such office shall be al- lowed to fill the vacancy, and the extra employe assigned to the office shall be placed in the position made vacant by the advancement of the other employes. This shall not apply to the detriment of the service. This rule does not apply to posi- tions temporarily abolished. Telegraphers displaced through temporary abolishment of their positions will thereafter be governed by the provisions of Rule 5. (c) A telegrapher bidding in a position and declining to accept same, shall forfeit all rights to his present position which shall be advertised and filled as per paragraph (a) of this rule, and will, when the bids on his position close, be assigned to the extra list, but shall not forfeit his seniority rights. He may bid on the position he lost by declining to accept the position he bid in, but will be junior to all other bidders for such position. (4> The senior extra telegrapher shall have preference of all extra work, if competent, but if working when a vacancy occurs and a junior telegrapher is assigned, the junior telegrapher will hold the position for a period of ten days when he may be dis- placed by the senior telegrapher. 8. Overtime will be allowed for all hours worked in excess of the regular established hours at any point. 9. (a) In computing overtime, thirty min- utes and less than sixty minutes shall bt- considered one hour. Less than thirty min- utes shall not be counted. (b) Overtime will not be allowed unless overtime slip is forwarded to the chief traiti dispatcher within forty-eight hours from the time service is performed. Telegraphers shall be notified within five days when over- lime is not allowed. (c) The rate of overtime shall be thirty- five (35) cents per hour for every consecu- tive hour worked, unless the pro-rata rate ■is higher, when overtime will be paid at pro rata rates until relieved. (d) If called before or after regular hours telegraphers will be paid fifty-five (55) cents for the call, but if held on duty longer than one hour, regular overtime rates will apply after the first hour. 58 Schedules and Wage Scales. 10. (a) Telegraphers required to work more than eight hours will be allowed one hour for meals, between the liours of 11:30 and 1:00 o'clock. When telegraphers are not excused between these hours they will be allowed one hour's pay at overtime rates and sufficient time to procure their meals at the lirst opportunity. (b) Telegraphers working eight hours will be given an opportunity to procure their meals on application to train dispatcher, whenever it can be done without detriment to the service. 11. Telegraphers transferred to new loca- tions by order of proper officials will re- ceive pay on the basis of salary of posi- tions vacated for the time lost in transfer, and free transportation for themselves, de- pendent members of their families and household goods. This will also apply in case of displacement. 12. Telegraphers attending court or other business for the company will be paid their regular rates of pay pet day, and when called to leave home, necessary expenses will be paid in addition to salaries. 13. Whenever a telegrapher on a division accepts a non-schedule position, a record will be made in the superintendent's office and a copy furnished local chairman. If such telegrapher does not return to a schedule position within six months he shall not forfeit his seniority, but may assert it only by going on the extra list and then filing applications for vacancies or new po- sitions. This rule will not 'apply to telegra- phers absent on account of sickness, nor to train dispatchers or copiers, when neces- sarj-- for them to fall back in the regular order in which promoted, nor to the general committee of the Order of Railroad Telegra- phers. Telegraphers leaving the telegraph depart- ment to accept service in other departments will forfeit their seniority rights after an absence of six months. Telegraphers desir- ing leave of absence will be granted same for a period not to exceed ninety days, pro- vided, in case of illness, time will be ex- tended to suit the case. 14. Telegraphers will be allowed to attend their meetings so far as consistent witli good service, and will be relieved and furnished transportation without unnecessary delay. Committees will be granted leave of absence as soon as possible after it is applied tor, when they wish to present any matter tu any officer of the company. 15. (a) Telegraphers who have been in the service of the company one year, and less than three years, will be granted seven days' leave of absence each year with pay. Telegraphers who have been in the service oj the company three years and less than ten years will be granted ten days' leave of absence each year with pay. Telegraphers who have been in the service of the com- pany ten years or more will be granted fifteen days ea.ch year with pay. (b) If the company finds it inconvenient to grant leave of absence during any year to a telegrapher entitled to it under this rule, he shall be granted additional leave of ab- sence for a like period the following year, or at the option of the telegrapher affected, pay in lieu thereof, based on a thirty-day month. 16. Extra telegraphers will receive the same compensation as the person they re- lieve. Telegraphers holding regular posi- tions when required to work in other of- fices temporarily, will receive relief agent's salai-y lor the time held in that capacity. 17. Telegraphers relieved for vacation shall receive the commission of their offices while being relieved. 18. These rules, regulations and rates of pay will continue in force until a notice of thirty days be given of a desire to change same. Rate per Station and Position. Month.

When a telegrapher is dismissed, or leaves the service after giving the due notice re- quired by the rules, he will be given the usual certificate from the proper official, stating terms of service, capacity in which employed, and whether discharged or leav- ing of hi.^ own accord. If discharged, cause of dismis.sal to be stated. ARTICLE V. A telegrapher will, on application, have returned to him all service cards and letters of recommendation that may have been taken up for inspection. ARTICLE VI. Promotions and Vacancies. All promotions will be governed by merit, fitness and ability of which the general superintendent will be the judge; these being suflicient, the telegrapher longest in the service or who holds seniority rights accord- ing to his class will have the preference. The right of promotion of telegraphers (except train dispatchers) shall extend over the following districts: (a) Montreal to Matapedia and Edmund- .ston, but not including Edmundston. (b) Flatlands^ to Moncton, not including Moncton, Lo^gieville to Fredericton, St. John & Quebec Railway, International Railway, Pacific Junction to Edmundston inclusive. (c) St. John to Springhill Junction, includ- ing branch lines. (d) Springhill Junction to Halifax and Sydney, including branch lines. (e) Prince Edward Island Railway. In the case of Springhill Junction, the agent only is included in paragraph "d", the others named in the schedule at that station are included in paragraph "c". Clause 2. The right of promotion of train dispatchers shall extend over each of the following districts: (a) Mont Joli west and including Ed- mundston. (b) Mont Joli east and including Ed- mundston. (c) Prince Edward Island Railway. Dispatchers at Edmundston will have the right to hold their seniority in the promotion districts from which they came.

The order of promotion will be from senior relieving dispatcher to triclt dispatcher and from trick dispatcher to chief dispatcher. In filling vacancies in any office senior dispatchers shall have the choice of trick, but no change of tricks will be permitted within one year, ^^cept with the consent of the superintendent or in the event of a vacancy occurring. Relieving train dispatchers will be ap- pointed from their respective superintend- ent's districts if available in accordance with Clause 1 of this article and will be allowed sufficient time, without pay, to learn the work of train dispatching under a reg- ular trick dispatcher, such time not to ex- ceed two weeks, and they will remain on such district until they receive promotion to a steady trick which may be claimed at anj' office in their promotion district at which a vacancy occurs. Schedules and Wage Scales. 63 A telegrapher's seniority will date from the time he last entered the service as a telegrapher. When two or more telegraphers are employed on the same date, their sen- iority shall date from the time they com- menced work. A train dispatcher's seniority as such will date from the time his examination papers were approved by the superintendent, such approval to be made within ten days after his examination. A train dispatcher will retain his seniority standing among the agents and operators. In filling the position of chief dispatcher, any dispatcher in the territory in which the vacancy occurs, including chief dis- patchers, shall be eligible. A telegrapher of not less than two years' service will on application be transferred from one promotion district to another on the same general division within thirty days from date of such application, and when so transferred will be allowed seiiiority on the new district to the extent of three-quarters his length of service on the said general division. In such case the telegrapher mak- ing the transfer will take his place on the extra list and will have the right to file into bulletined positions as per Clause 5 hereof. A telegrapher applying for a transfer will be given a transfer certificate showing his length of service and the capacities iji which he has been employed on the general divi- sion, which will be his authority for claim- ing seniority on the district to which he is transferring. This provision will also apply to a telegra- pher of not less than two years' service desiring to transfer from one general divi- sion to another, except that in such cases };he transfer certificate will not carry with it any seniority rights, but will entitle the holder to the position of junior extra teleg- rapher on the superintendent's district to which he is transferring. Trans/er certificates will not be valid un- less filed with the superintendent of the dis- trict to which transfer is being made, within thirty days from date of issue. Clause 3. When a vacancy occurs the superintendent will fill same by appointing the senior man who is, in his opinion, enti- tled to it, but this will not prevent any telegrapher senior to the man so appointed claiming his right to the position under Clause (a> hereof, providing he files his protest within fifteen days after the appoint- ment lias been bulletined as above. Clause 4.' Telegraphers will have the ex- clusive right to any position incorporated in Article XXIV of this schedule; also to any new telegraphers' positions created. Telegraphers will also be eligible with employes in other branches of the service for promotion to any of the agencies not incorporated in Article XXIV. Clause 5. In the case of vacancies occur- ring or of new positions being created for which telegraphers are eligible under this schedule, they will be advertised for fifteen days by bulletin sent to all stations, during which time application may be made. All . vacancies occurring and permanent appointments made will be bulletined within one week and filled within thirty days from date position becomes vacant. The accept- ance by the senior applicant is imperative. A. telegrapher on leave of absence when a vacancy occurs will not be debarred from claiming position and receiving appointment if entitled to it, providing that such claim is made within thirty days from date of bulletin. When a telegrapher accepts a transfer and after a fair trial is found incapable, he will take his place as a spare telegrapher, but will ret.ain his seniority rights. ARTICLE VII. Transfers (See also Art. XI). When a telegrapher is transferred by order of the proper oflicial he will receive free transportation for himself, family and house- hold goods, and will suffer no loss of time in consequence, such time not to exceed four days. -^ ARTICLE VIII. A telegrapher not accepting promotion of- fered by the management will not forfeit his right to any vacancy occurring there- after. ARTICLE IX. Positions Abolished. The management will not abolish positions incorporated in Article XXIV, except in case of reduction of staff. A telegrapher holding a position so abolished will receive fourteen days' notice of same, and will be entitled to the position then held by the junior per- manently located telegrapher in that dis- trict, and will retain his seniority rights. In case of a dispatcher's position being abolished, the dispatcher affected will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanent dispatcher in that office, and the dispatcher so displaced will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located dispatcher in that promotion dis- trict. ARTICLE X. Seniority Lists. Complete lists will be prepared of all telegraphers on each of the districts named in Article VI, such lists to show the senior- ity of all telegraphers on such districts and to be open to their inspection at the superin- tendent's office. These lists will be subject 1o correction on proper representation from any telegrapher, and a corrected copy of the lists will be furnished to the local and gen- eral chairman on application at the begin- ning of each year. Seniority protests by telegraphei's will not be valid unless filed within one year from the date of publication of same. ARTICLE XI. A telegrapher transferred at the request of the management to any other branch of the -service will receive not less than his regular .=alary under this schedule and will likewise be entitled to all the privileges therein pro- vided. He will retain his seniority rights for three years in the class from which transferred. Any position so vacated will be bulletined and filled by senior qualified applicant within three months. 64 Schedules and Wage Scales. AJEITICLE XII. Work From Which Telegraphers Are EKcmpt. Telegraphers will be exempt from shovel- ing snow, stenciling cars, sifting cpal ashes, cutting, loading or unloading wood or coal, attending flower gardens, cleaning and dis- infecting stations^ outbuildings, stock or other cars, handling government mails. The unloading of way freight from cars and put- ting in shed shall be done jointly with the brakeman and further reasonable assistance will be furnished when necessary. Note. — The foregoing does not mean that the telegrapher is to refuse to receipt for or give protection to mails at points where the local conditions are such as to make it impracticable for other arrangements to be made. ARTICLE XIII. Telegraphers will not be required to teach telegraphy nor will a telegrapher teach teleg- raphy on the railways' premises without the written permission of the superintend- ent. ARTICLE XIV. Attending Court, Etc. Telegraphers called upon to attend~court or investigations at the request of the. proper official of the railways, will receive pay at their stated rate of salary, not more than one day's time for each twenty-four hours, and if away from home will be al- lowed actual expenses on production of re- ceipts. ARTICLE XV. At Wrecks. Telegraphers performing duties at wrecks, washouts or other emergency oflfices, will be paid their stated rate of salary and actual expenses on production of receipts. ARTICLE XVI. Sunday Work. Telegraphers will not be required to work on Sundays, except when absolutely neces- sary to protect the railways' interests. When required to work on Sunday, they will be so advised on the preceding Saturday and will be paid for such service pro rata on stated salary at time and one-half their regular rate. In no case will less compen- sation than two hours at time and one-half be allowed. Example: A ten -hour day position rated at $78.00 per month, or under. Regular rate is thirty cents per hour, and for Sundays will be forty-five cents per hour. In no case less than two hours for Sunday call equal to ninety cents. Further example: A ten-hour day position rated at $100.00 per month. Regular rate is thirty-eight cents per hour, for Sunday will be fifty-seven cents per hour. In no case less than two hours for a Sunday call, equal to $1.14. In regard to this article, when the extreme time limits of the time worked during any number of calls do not exceed two hours' time, it will be considered as one call, for which two hours' compensation will be allowed. Example: A telegrapher called at 8:00 o'clock, relieved at 8:15, called again at 9:00 o'clock, relieved at 9:20, called at 9;45, re- lieved at 10:00, one call, two hours' time allowed. If the second, or any subsequent call, or the time worked is not covered by the two- hour limit, the additional time in excess of the two hours will be allowed. Example: A telegrapher called at 8:00 o'clock, relieved at 8:30, called again at 9:45, relieved at 10:25, two^ hours' time. If the calls are separated so that each call occurs beyond the two-hour limit, two hours' time will be allowed for each call. Eicample: A telegrapher called at ,8:00 o'clock, relieved at 8:15, called again at 10:30, relieved at 10:35, called again at 1:00 p. m., relieved at 1:30 p. m., called again at 3:00 p. m., relieved at 3:20 p. m. Four calls, eight hours' time allowed. ARTICLE XVII. Holidays. Telegraphers who are regular trick dis- patchers will be granted three weeks' leave of absence annually, with full pay; other telegraphers who are permanently employed will, after one year's service, be granted two weeks' leave of absence annually, with full pay. Telegraphers who are temporarily em- ployed will, after working three hundred days in any one calendar year, be granted two we5ks' leave of absence, with full pay, and will be furnished free transportation for themselves and families to any point on the system. They will, on application, receive from their superintendent a letter showing that they liave been granted such leave of absence. In the event of the railway not being able to relieve the telegrapher and grant him his leave of absence at any time in any one year, such leave of absence will be added to his leave of absence in the following year. A telegrapher being discharged or leaving the service on proper notice, before obtain- ing the deferred leave of absence, will be paid salary for the same. Applications for leave of absence filed in January of each year will be given prefer- ence in order of seniority of applicant, and applicants will be advised in February of dates allotted them. January applicants will have preference over later applicants, and applicants after thirtieth of September will not he entitled to salary compensation, if the railway is unable to relieve them in that year. The railway will, as far as practicable, relieve all applicants during the summer season when so desired. Telegraphers failing to get holidays asked for in any one year will have first choice for holidays in the following year, in the order of their seniority. ARTICLE XVIII. Commissions. Present arrangement of permitting telegra- phers to accept commissions from express- and telegraph companies doing business on the railway will be continued. ARTICLE XIX. Hours of Duty. (a) At offices where two or less telegra- phers are employed, ten consecutive hours Schedules and Wage Scales. 65 exclusive of meal hour will constitute a day"s work. At offices where more than two operators are employed not more than ten consecutive hours, including meal hour, or at the rail- way's optio;:. eight consecutive hours with- out meal hour shall constitute a day's work. Agents at such offices will not be required to perform any wire work, except in case of emergency or as mutually agreed upon by the general superintendent and general chairman. Kxcept in cases of emergency, telegraphers will have eight congecutive hours' rest per day. The hours of duty of all agents will com- mence between 6:00 and 8:00 o'clock a. m. Exception: Except that the hours for ticket agents, assistant ticket agents and ticket clerks need not be consecutive, and may be irregular as required for the accom- modation of passenger trains, or to comply with the requirements of the passenger department. (b) Telegraphers working ten hours per day will be allowed sixty consecutive min- utes for a meal between either 7:00 a. m. and 9:00 a. m. or 12:00 noon aiid 2:15 p. m., or 5:00 p. m. and 7:00 p. m., or between midnight and 2:1.5 a. m., or receive in lieu thereof one hour overtime, provided that a day telegrapher working ten hours will be allowed his meal hour between 12:00 noon and 2:15 p. m. This will not apply to serv- ice rendered to the express or commercial telegraph business. Nothing herein will prohibit a dispatcher from granting two meal hours to a telegra- pher working ten hours, the intention being to grant regular meal hours so far as the business of the railway will permit. A telegrapher having undelivered train orders on. hand at expiration of his hours of duty must remain and make personal transfer of same to the telegrapher relieving him. (c) Telegraphers will be allowed overtime at the rate of time and one-half, according to salary, based on twenty-six days per month, but in no case less than forty-five cents per hour. Less than thirty minutes not to count, thirty minutes or over to count as one hour, except that telegraphers when required to remain on duty after regular hours if detained fifteen minutes will be allowed one hour overtime for the first hour or any portion thereof. (d) If a telegrapher is called before or after office hours he will be allowed 65 cents, which shall cover one hour's service. If kept on duty more than one hour, overtime will be allowed thereafter as per clause (c). (e) The regular hours of duty will be specified by the superintendent to all telegra- phers. If required for service outside these hours, telegraphers will be given an official order as authority and excused in the same manner. (f) Overtime will not be allowed unless overtime tickets are mailed to the proper official within forty-eight hours from the time the service is performed. If overtime, as claimed, is not allowed, telegraphers will be notified in writing within ten days from the time such service is pei-formed, setting forth the reason for disallowance. Telegraphers will number overtime tickets consecutively for each month. (g) Eight consecutive hours' train dis- patching and time required for transferring will constitute a day's work for a trick dis- patcher. Train dispatchers will not be re- quired to do clerical work that will inter- fere witli the proper handling of their trains. (h) Eight consecutive hours will constitute a day's work for telegraphers in the fol- lowing offices: Yard office. Point Tupper; yard office. Pirate Harbor; station, JMew Glasgow; yard office, Stellarton; station, Halifax; Station and yard office, Truro; sta- tion, Springhill Junction; station and yard office, Moncton; station, Newcastle; station, Campbellton; station, Mont Joli; station. Riviere du Loup; station, Levis; yard office, Joffre (Centre); station, Ste. Rosalie Junc- tion; station, St. John. ARTICLE XX. Relief Work. A sufficient number of regular relief agents ahall be appointed on each superin- tendent's district, who will receive the sal- ary of the man relieved, but in no case less than as provided for in Article XXIV. Regular telegraphers called upon to do re- lief work temporarily will receive the salary of the man relieved, provided it is not less than their own, and 75 cents per day addi- tional for expenses if away from their regu-- lar station. Spare telegraphers called upon to do re- lief work will receive the salary of the man relieved. It is understood that when regular relieving agents are not engaged in relieving, they m.ay be used in the superintendent's, audit or other offices or at any other clerical employinent. Telegraphers who aie junior in the service will not be given spare work in preference to senior spare telegraphers. Vacancies in the regular relief agent's staff will be advertised in the. usual way, and the senior qualified applicant on each superin- tendent's district will receive appointment. Regular relief agents will only be required for duty on their superintendent's district, and will be eligible for promotion to posi- tions within the territory (as specified in Clause 1 of Article VI> from which they are taken. ARTICLE XXL Dwellings in Station Premises. All stations where dwelling, fuel and light are provided, the dwelling will be reserved exclusively for the use of the agent and his family, unless he elects to reside elsewhere. In such case the choice will be given to telegraphers at that station in order of seniority, unless special conditions make it impracticable to do so. When no dwelling, fuel and light perquisites are supplied agents, a minimum compensation of ten dollars ($10.00) per month will be paid in lieu thereof. Station offices, waiting rooms, etc., will be cleaned at the railway's expense. ARTICLE XXIL Attending Lamps. If telegraphers are required to attend oil lamps in switches, yard limits, or sema- phores, they will receive four dollars ($4.00) per month for four or less lights, and fifty 66 Schedules and Wage Scales. cents (50c) per month for each additional switch, yard limit, or semaphore light at such station. Nothing in this article will relieve telegra- phers from their responsibilities of seeing that the telegraph sigr.al and all other sig- nals are in perfect working order, and at night that all lamps are clean and burning brightly. The lighting and attending of switch, yard limit, semaphore lamps will, as far as practicable, be performed by other available force. ARTICLE XXIII. Telegraphers Overtaxed May Have Redress. If a telegrapher considers himself over- taxed, his statement to that effect to the proper official will be carefully considered, and if well-founded, relief will be granted. When an. agent asks for help the superin- tendent will either furnish it or arrange an investigation of conditions within ten days. If such investigation sustains the claim of the agent the help will be furnished. If such investigation is against the agent, the latter may file his protest with the superintendent, who will immediately ask the general super- intendent to send a special investigator, familiar with station work, to report on the case, which will be within ten days. If such investigator reports that the help la required it will be furnished forthwith. If he reports that it is not required the agent may appeal direct to the general chairman, who, after investigation to satisfy himself, will handle the case as a grievance begin- ning with the general superintendent. In a case where the railway desires to re- duce help, the agent will be given one week's notice, unless he agrees that he can spare the help at once. If the agent claims the assistance is still required, he will so advise his superintendent, and the latter will conduct an investigation as outlined in the preceding paragraph. If the agent is dissatisfied with the ver- dict his protest to the superintendent will result in a special investigation at the in- stance of the general superintendent in the same manner as provided above, the same channels of appeal being open to the agent as therein outlined. At points where operators are overworked or kept on duty an excessive length of time, upon furnishirg particulars, the inspector of transportation will be instructed to go there and look into the conditions with the general chairman, or with any representative he may select, and if they recommend any change in conditions to relieve the operator it will be arranged.

Inasmuch as the increases in rates author- ized herein are brought about by the un- usual conditions as the outcome of the war, they can be cancelled at any time, by either party, on thirty days' notice. For the Telegraphers, J. J. TRAINOB, General Chairman. For the Railways, C. A. HUTER, General Manager. Canadian Government Railways WESTERN LINES. (EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 1917.) The following rules and wages will govern the telegraphers on the Western Lines of the Canadian Government Railways: Whon additional telegraphers' positions are created, compensation will be fixed in conformity with that of the same class as shown in this schedule. ARTICLE L All employes assigned by proper authority to railway telegraph service or railway tele- phone service of any character or duration, also station agents incorporated in the ac- companying schedule of wages, will be con- sidered telegraphers within the meaning of this schedule and are so called herein. ARTICLE II. Telegraphers Serving on Boards or Attend- ing Meetings. A telegrapher will not be discriminated against for being a member of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, nor for serving on boards of adjustment representing teleg- raphers, and will be given leave of absence and furnished free transportation on Canadian Government Railways for such purposes. They will also receive the same privilege for the purpose of attending their meetings on any part of the line, when it is possible to do so without inconvenience or additional expense to the railway. ARTICLE III. •Discipline. No telegrapher shall be suspended (except for investigation), discharged or disciplined until his case has first been investigated and he has been proven guilty of the offense charged against him; the decision in such case to be arrived at within ten days from date of suspension. If a telegrapher is found blameless in the matter under investigation he will be paid at schedule rates for the time lost and extra expenses while attending such investigations, if away from home, on production of receipts, and be reinstated. If detained more than ten days awaiting inves- tigation at the railways' instance he will be paid schedule wages for the time in excess of ten days, whatever the decision may be. Telegraphers may have the assistance of one or two telegraphers, if they so de- sire. A written statement setting forth the re- sult of an investigation and the reasons Schedules and Wage Scales. 71 therefor will be furnished by the railways to the local board of adjustment, if re- quested by it. ARTICLE IV. Certificate of Service. When a telegrrapher is dismissed or leaves the service, after giving due notice re- quired by rules, he will be given the usual certificate from the proper offlcial, stating the terms of service, capacity in wliich em- ployed and whether discharged or leaving of his ojvn accord. If discharged, cause of dismissal to be stated. ARTICLE V. Service Cards. Telegraphers -employed by the railway will, on application, have returned to them all service cards and letters of recommenda- tion that may have been taken up for in- spection. ARTICLE VI. Seniority. (a) All promotions will be governed by merit and ability, of which the general superintendent will be the judge; these be- ing sufficient, telegraphers longest in the seivice or those holding seniority rights ac- cording to their class will have the prefer- ence. (bj When a vacancy occurs the super- intendent will fill the same by appointing, the senior applicant within thirty days. This does not apply to promotions to an official position of a higher grade than a chief dis- patcher. (c) Telegraphers will have exclusive rights to any position incorporated in Ar- ticle XXII of this schedule, also to any new telegraphers' positions created. (d> Telegraphers will also be eligible with other employes in' other branches of the service to be considered in line for promo- tion to any agencies not incorporated in- Article XXII. (e) The right of promotion of telegra- phers (except train dispatchers) shall ex- tend over the following districts: — Each Superintendent's District — (f) The right of promotion of train dis- patchers shall extend over — — General Superintendent's Division — Promotion will be in order from senior re- lieving dispatcher to trick dispatcher and from trick dispatcher to chief dispatcher. (g) In filling vacancies in any oflice senior dispatchers shall have the choice of tricks, but no change of tricks will be permitted within one year, except with the consent of the superintendent, or in the event of a vacancy occurring. When there is a vacancy in the relieving dispatching staff it will be advei'tiscd on the district (as per Clause 1 of this Article) where the ultimate vacancy occurs, and telegraphers will be given an opportunity to pass an examination as train dispatcher in the order of their seniority. Tlie senior qualified applicant will receive the appoint- ment. (h) A train dispatcher's seniority as such will date from the time his examination pa- pers were approved by the superintendent; such approval to be made within ten days after examination. Train dispatchers will retain their senior- ity standing among the agents and oper- ators. (i) In filling the position of chief dis- patcher, any dispatcher in the territory in which the vacancy occurs, including chief dispatchers, shall be eligible. Telegraplier's seniority will count from the date he last entered the service as a teleg- rapher. (j> Telegraphers of not less than two years of service will, on application, be transferred from one promotion district to another, within thirty days from date of such application, and when so transferred will bo allowed seniority on the new district to the extent of three-quarters of their length of service. In such case the teleg- rapher making the transfer will take his place on the extra list and will have the right to file into bulletined positions to which his seniority would entitle him. A telegrapher applying for transfer will be given a transfer certificate showing his length of service and the capacity in which he has been employed, which will be his authority for claiming his seniority on the districL to which he is transferring. Transfer certificate will not be valid un- less filed with the superintendent of the dis- trict to which transfer is made, within thirty days from date of issue. In the case of vacancies occurring, 'or of new positions being created for which teleg- raphers are eligible under this schedule, they will be advertised for fifteen days by bulle- tin sent to all .stations, during which time applications can be made. (k) All vacancies will be bulletined within one week and appointments made within a reasonable time thereafter and will be im- mediately bulletined. The acceptance by the senior qualified applicant is imperative. A telegrapher on leave of absence, when a vacancy occurs, will not be debarred from claiming position and receiving appointment, if entitled to it, providing that such claim is made within thirty days from date of bul- letin. (1) When a telegrapher accepts a transfer and after a fair trial is found incapable, he will take his place as a spare telegi-apher and will retain his seniority rights. ARTICLE VII. Seniority. Teles^-aphers not wishing to accept promo- tion offered by the management will not lose any right to any vacancy occurring thereafter. ARTICLE VIII. Seniority. If a position included in the attached schedule is abolished, the telegrapher will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located telegrapher on the superintendent's district. In case of a dispatcher's position being abolished, the dispatcher affected will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanent dispatcher in that oflSce and the dispatcher so displaced will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located dispatcher. 72 Schedules and Wage Scales. ARTICLE IX. Seniority. Complete lists will be prepared of all telegraphers on each of the districts named in Article VI, such lists to show the seniority of all telegraphers on such districts and to be open to their inspection at the superin- tendent's office. These lists will be subject to correction on proper representation by any telegrapher and a corrected copy of the lists will be furnished to the local and gen- eral chairman on application, at the begin- ning of each year. Seniority protests by telegraphers will be invalid unless filed within 60 days from the date of publication of same. ARTICLE X. Seniority. When a telegrapher is transferred at the request of the proper official or in the ex- ercise of his seniority rights, he will receive free transportation for himself, his family and his household goods, and will suffer no loss of time in consequence — such time not to exceed four days. ARTICLE XI. Shoveling Snow, Etc. Telegraphers will be exempt from shovel- ing enow, stenciling cars, sifting coal ashes, cutting, loading or unloading wood or coal, attending flower gardens, cleaning and dis- infecting stations, outbuildings, stock or other cars, handling government mails. The unloading of way freight from" cars and putting in shed shall be done jointly with the braiceman, and further reasonable as- sistance will be furnished when necessary. Note: — The foregoing does not mean that the telegrapher is to refuse to receipt for or give protection to mails at points where the local conditions are such as to make it impracticable for other arrangements to be made. ARTICLE XII. Care of Oil Lamps. If telegraphers are required to attend oil lamps on switches, yard limits or sema- phores, they will receive four dollars ($4.00) per month for four or less lights and fifty cents (50 cents) per month for each addi- tional switch, yard limit, or semaphore light at such station. Nothing in this article will relieve telegraphers from their responsibili- ties or seeing that the telegraph signal and all other signals are in perfect working or- der and at night that all lamps are clean and burning brightly. The lighting and at- tending of switch, yard limit, semaphore lamps, will as far as practicable be per- formed by other available force. ARTICLE XIIL Teach Telegraphy. Telegraphers will not be required to teach telegraphy, nor will a telegrapher teach telegraphy on the railway premises without the written permission of the superin- tendent. ARTICLE XIV. Attend Court, Etc.

ARTICLE XV. Duty in Case of Accidents. Telegraphers performing duties at wrecks, washouts or other emergency offices will be paid their stated salary and actual expenses on production of receipts. ARTICLE XVI. Hours of Duty. (a) The regular hours of duty will be specified by the superintendent to all teleg- raphers. If required for service outside these hours telegraphers will be given an official order as authority and excused in the same manner. Sunday Work. (b) Telegraphers (except train dispatch- ers) will not be required to work on Sun- days, except when absolutely necessary to protect the railway's interests. When re- quired to work on Sunday they will be so advised on the preceding Saturday and will be paid overtime for such service at time and one-half, based on schedule rates, twenty-six days per month. In no case will less compensation than two hours at time and one-half be allowed. (c) In circumstances where telegraphers are obliged to remain close at hand all day Sunday on account of calls being spread over the whole day, they will be paid for the whole day, and where, iinder the same circuinstances, they are obliged to remain close at hand for half a day on Sunday, they will be paid for half a day. That Is to say, if a telegrapher is required to come on duty two or three times in the forenoon and is free in the afternoon, he is to be paid one- half day, while if he Is required three or more times during the entire day he will be paid one day. Telegraphers' Overtime. (d) Telegraphers (except train dispatch- ers) will be allowed overtime at the rate of time and one-half, based on schedule rate, 2G days per month, but in no case less than 45 cents per hour.

If kept on duty more than one hour, overtime will be allowed thereafter as per Clause (d). Overtime Tickets. (f) Overtime will not be allowed unless overtim.e tickets are mailed to the proper official within forty-eight hours from the time the service is performed. If overtime as claimed is not allowed telegraphers will be notified In writing within ten days from the time svich service is performed, setting Schedules and Wage Scales. 73 forth the reasons for disallowance. Teleg- raphers will number overtime tickets con- secutively for each month. Ten-Hour Day. (.S) At offices where two or less telegra- phers are employed, ten consecutive hours, exclusive of nieal hours, shall constitute a day's work. (h> At offices where an agent and two op- erators are employed, ten consecutive hours per day, including- meal hour, or at the rail- way's option eight consecutive hours, with- out rneal hour, shall constitute a day's work. The agent at such offices shall not be required to perform any wire work, except in case of emergency. Eight-Hour Day. (i> At offices -where three or more oper- ators are employed, eight consecutive hours will constitute a day's work. Rest. (j> Except in cases of emergency telegra- phers will have eight consecutive hours' rest per day. Commencement of Duty, (k) The hours of duty of all agents will commence between 6:0.0 and 8:00 a. m.

This will not apply to service rendered the express and commercial tel- egraph business. (m) Nothing herein will prohibit a dis- patcher from granting two meal hours to a telegrapher working ten hours. The inten- tion being to grant regular meal hours so far as the business of the railway permits. (n) A telegrapher called before his regvi- lar hours of duty, who cannot be let off for breakfast, will be entitled to pay for the meal hour. Eight-Hour Day Telegraphers. (o) !Eight consecutive hours will constitute a day's work for telegraphers at the follow- ing points: Cochrane. Graham, Transcona, Mission, Redditt (during grain season), Hearst (when necessary), Raith (when nec- essary). Note: — "When only two operators are re- quired at Hearst, the rate will be $105.00 per month. Eight-Hour Day Dispatchers. (p) Eight consecutive hours' train dis- patching and time required for transferring will corstitute a day's work for a trick dis- patcher. Train di.=patchers will not be re- quired to do clerical work that will Inter- fere with the proper handling of their trains. Dispatcher's Six- Day Week, (q) If a train dispatcher is required to work outside of his regular assigned hours or more tlian six days in a week, he will be paid overtime rate. Swing Dispatchers. (r) Swing dispatchers working less than six days per week as dispatchers will not have preference over relief dispatchers in relieving regular trick dispatcliers on leave of absence for more than three days, nor will they be used during any portion of the weeli when not employed as dispatchers to fill any position to which another telegra- pher is assigned, except when such telegra- pher is on leave of absence. Relief Dispatchers. (s) Relief dispatchers, after one year's ac- cumulative service as such, will take the rating of trick dispatcher according to length of service, three hundred and thir- teen days to constitute one year in every case. Relief dispatchers will receive fifty cents per day expenses while away from headquarters. ARTICLE XVII. Leave of Absence. Regular trick dispatchers will be allowed three weeks' leave of absence each year witli full pay. Other telegraphers who have been in the employ of the railway three hundred days in one year will be allowed two weeks' leave of absence each year with full pay. If the railway finds it inconveni- ent to grant leave of absence during any year to a telegrapher entitled to it under this rule, the telegrapher shall at his option receive either compensation at his regular salary for the period or in the next year additional leave of absence for a like period. Application for leave of absence filed in January of each year will be given prefer- ence in order of seniority of applicant, and applicants will be advised in February of dates allotted to them. January applicants will have preference over later applicants, and applicants after September 30th will not be entitled to any salary compensation, if the railway is not able to relieve them in that year. The railway will, as far as prac- ticable, relieve all applicants during the svmimer months, when so desired. Note: — Telegraphers will, on filing their applications for leave of absence, receive from their superintendent a letter advising that they have been granted such leave of absence or otherwise. In the event of a telegrapher being dis- charged or leaving the service on proper notice before obtaining deferred leave of absence, he will be paid his salary for same. ARTICLE XVIII. Telegraph and Express Commissions. Present arrangement of permitting teleg- raphers to accept commissions from ex- press and telegraph companies doing busi- ness on the railway will be continued, but telegraphers will not be allowed overtime for attending regular passenger trains before or after their regular hours of duty to handle express or when called before or after their regular hours of duty to handle mes- sages for such companies. 74 Schedules and Wage Scales. ARTICLE XIX. Relief Agents. A .sufficient number of relief agents shall be appointed on each superintendent's dis- trict, who will receive $120.00 per month, without expenses. Relief Telegrapiiers. Regular telegraphers called upon to do re- lief, work temporarily will receive the salary of the man relieved, provided it is not less than their own, and seventy- five cents per day additional for expenses, if away from their regular station. Spare Telegraphers. Spare telegraphers called upon to do re- lief work will receive the salary of the man relieved. It is understood that when regular relievirtg agents are not engaged in reliev- ing they may be used in the superin- tendent's, audit or other offices, or in any other clerical employment. Telegraphers who are junior in the service will not be given spare work m preference to qualified senior spare telegraphers, except where a junior spare telegrapher is relieving an agent or at an important point when to make a change would mean additional cost to the railway. Vacancies to Be Advertised. Vacancies in the regular relief agents' staff will be advertised in the^isual way and the senior qualified applicant on each super- intendent's dLstrict will receive the appoint- ment. Relief Agents' Promotion. Regular relief agents will only be required for duty on their superintendent's district and will be elig'ble for promotion to posi- tions within the territory (a.s specified in Clause 1, Article VI) from which they are taken. ARTICLE XX. Dwelling, Etc. At stations where dwelling, fuel and light are provided, the dwelling will, as far as practicable, be reserved exclusively for the use of the agent and his family, unless he elects to reside elsewhere, in which case permanently appointed operator having a family is to have first refusal. The railway will keep the dwelling in good repair. Occu- pants must keep such dwellings and sur- roundings clean and must pay for repair other than those due to ordinary wear and tear. When no dwelling, fuel and light per- quisites are supplied agents, a minimum comijensation of ten dollars ($10.00) per month will be paid in lieu thereof. Station oflices, waiting rooms, etc., will be cleaned at the railway's expense. ARTICLE XXr. Claim Being Overworked. If a telegrapher considers himself over- taxed, hi.s statement to that effect to the proper official will be carefully considered, and if well founded relief will be granted. M''hen an agent asks for help the superin- tendent will either furnish it or arrange an investigation of conditions within ten days. If .'uch investigation sustains the claim of the agent, the help will be furnished. If such investigation is against the agent, the latter may file his protest with the super- intendent, who will immediately ask the general superintendent to send a special investigator, familiar with station work, to report on the case, which will be within ten days. If such investigator reports that the help is required, it will be furnished forth- with. If he reports that it is not required, the agent may appeal direct to the general chainnan. who, after investigating to satisfy himself, will handle the case as a grievance, beginning with the general superintendent. In a case where the railway desires to re- duce help, the agent will be given one week's notice, unless h^ agrees that he can spare the help at once. If the agent claims the assistance is still required, he will so ad- vise his superintendent and the latter will conduct an investigation as outlined in the preceding paragraph. If the agent is dissatisfied with the ver- dict, his protest to the superintendent will lesult in a special investigation at the in- stance of the general superintendent in the .same manner as provided above; the same channels of appeal being open to the agent .as therein outlined. At points where operators are overworked or Icept on duty an excessive length of time, upon furni.shing particulars, the inspector of transportation will be instructed to go there and look into the conditions with the general chairman, or with any represen- tative he may select, and if they recommend any clian.ge in conditions to relieve the oper- ator, it will be arranged.

For the Telegraphers, J. J. TRAINOR, General Chairman. For the Railways, P. P. BRADY, General Manager Western Lines. Canadian Northern Railway System LINES EAST OF PORT ARTHUR, ONT. (TAKING EFFECT JULY 1, 1917.) PREAMBLE. The following rules and wages will govern the telegraphers on the Canadian Northern Eastern Lines exclusive of the Halifax and South Western Railway: When additional telegraphers' positions are created, compensation will be fixed in conformity with that for positions of the same class as shown by this schedule. ARTICLE I. All employes assigned by proper authority to railway telegraph or railway telephone .service of any character or duration, and also the station agents incorporated in the accompanying schedule of wages, will be con.^idered telegraphers within the meaning of this schedule, and are so called herein. See explanatory note. ARTICLE IL Promotion. (a) The right of promotion of telegraphers (except train dispatchers) will extend over 76 Schedules and Wage Scales. each sirperintendent's district, and will be governed by merit, fitness and ability; where these are sufficient the senior telegrapher will be given the preference, provided that telegraphers (except train dispatchers) of not less than two years' service will on ap- plication be transferred from one superin- tendent's district to another on the general division within thirty days from date of such application, and when so transferred will be allowed seniority on the new district to the extent of three-fourths their length of serv- ice on the district from which transferred. In such case the telegrapher making the transfer will take his place on the extra list, and will have the right to file into bul- letined positions as per Clause (c) hereof. Transfer. A telegrapher applying for a transfer will be given a transfer certificate showing his length of service and the capacities in which he has been employed on the said general division, which will be his authority for claiming his seniority on the district to which he is transferring. Transfer certificates will not be valid un- less filed with the superintendent of the district to which transfer is being made within thirty days from date of issue. Seniority. (b) A telegrapher's seniority will date from the time he last entered the service as a telegrapher. Seniority will only be exer- cised when vacancies occur. The seniority of telegraphers employed on lines under construction' or absorbed by the company will date from their last appoint- ment as telegraphers on such lines. When newly constructed lines are taken over by the operating department all the telegra- phers' positions will be considered vacant and they will be bulletined over the general division, and any telegrapher in line of pro- motion to them will have fifteen days within which to make application for same. Advertising Vacancies. (c) All vacancies and permanent appoint- ments will be immediately bulletined by a "23" message over the superintendent's dis- trict. When vacancies in positions are bul- letined, the bulletin will state rate of com- pensation. Applications for vacancies must be made within ten days from date of bulletin. Declining Promotion. A telegrapher declining to accept promo- tion in any instance does not forfeit his right to the s^ime or any other position he may be entitled to under seniority when a vacancy occurs. A telegrapher on leave of absence when a vacancy occurs will not be debarred from claiming position and receiving appointment on resuming duty if entitled to it. A vacancy will be filled within thirty days after it occurs by the appointment of the man entitled to it. Temporary Appointment. When a vacancy occurs the superintendent will fill the same by appointing the senior man who is, in his opinion, entitled to the position, but that will not prevent any telegrapher senior to the man so appointed claiming his right under Clause (aj hereof to the position, provided he files his protest within ten days after the appointment has been bulletined as above. Preference. (d> Telegraphers in the employ will be given preference in filling vacancies or op- enings on extensions or new lines of the general division, their applications to be en- dorsed by the superintendent of the district on which the applicant is employed. Reduction of Staff. (e) In case of reduction in the number of telegraphers employed, the junior telegra- phers on the superintendent's districts will be first dispensed with. If their services w^ere satisfactory they will, on application, be given a transfer certificate which will en- title them to preference in filling new posi- tions or vacancies on other districts of the system, provided they are available when re- quired. Positions Abolislied. (f> If a position included in the attached schedule is abolished, the telegrapher will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located telegrapher on the superintendent's district. Seniority List, (g) A complete list of all telegraphers on each superintendent's district, showing their seniority standing, will be kept on file in the respective train dispatching offices, open to inspection by all telegraphers concerned. This list will be subject to correction on proper representation from any telegrapher, and a copy of it, corrected to date, will be furnished the general chairman at the be- ginning of each year. Exclusive Right of Promotion. (h) Telegraphers will have the exclusive right to any position incorporated in the wage schedule, and any telegraphers' posi- tions subsequently added in accordance with the preamble, also to any new telegraphers' positions created by the absorption of other lines or the construction of new lines when vacancies in such positions occur. Eligibility of Agents. (i) Telegraphers will also be eligible and considered in line of promotion to the posi- tion of agent at any of the stations not in- corporated in the wage schedule which have been omitted in view of conditions which may make it impracticable or unfair to fill these positions exclusively from one branch of the service. Official .Promotion. (j). Telegraphers promoted to official posi- tions with the company will retain their seniority according to the class from which promoted. Dispatchers' Promotion, (k) The right of promotion of train dis- patchers will extend over the general divi- sion and will be governed by merit and abil- ity; these being sufficient, the senior train dispatcher will have the preference. The order of promotion of train dispatchers will be from the senior relieving dispatcher to trick dispatcher. Schedules and Wage Scales. 77 Dispatcher's Seniority. The seniority of a train dispatcher will date from the time he was first appointed a trick dispatcher. A train dispatcher will retain his senior- ity standing in the ranks of the agents and opei-ators. Relief Dispatchers. Relieving train dispatchers will he ap- pointed from their respective superin- tendents' districts, if available, in accord- ance with Clause (c) of this article, and will be allowed sufficient time, without pay, to learn the work of train dispatching under a regular trick dispatcher, such tiine not to exceed two weeks, and they will remain on such district until they receive promotion to a steady trick, which may be claimed- at any office on the general division at which a vacancy occurs. Advertising Dispatchers' Vacancies. All vacancies and permanent appointments in dispatchers' positions or new dispatchers' positions created will be immediately adver- tised over the said general division. Application must be made within ten days of date of bulletin, and vacancy v/ill be filled within thirty days after it occurs by the ap- pointment of the dispatcher entitled to it. If a train dispatcher's position is abolished he will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located dispatcher on the said general division. Linemen's Promotions. (1> The right of promotion of linemen will extend over each general superintendent's division and will be governed by merit and ability; where these are sufficient seniority will be given preference. Vacancies and ap- pointments will be advertised and filled as provided in Clause (c) of this article. ARTICLE III. Discipline and Investigation. No telegrapher shall be isuspended (except for investigation), discharged or disciplined until his case has first tafeen investigated and he has been proven guilty of the offence charged against him; the decision in such case to be arrived at within ten days from date of such suspension. If a telegrapher Is found blameless in the matter under investigation he will be paid at the schedule rates for the time lost and extra expenses while attending such investi- gation, if away from home, and be rein- stated. If detained more than ten days awaiting investigation at the company's in- stance, he will be paid schedule wages for the time in excess of ten days, whatever the decision may be. Telegraphers may have the assistance of a co-telegrapher if they so desire. Result. A wi-itten statement setting forth the re- sult of. the investigation and the reasons therefor will be furnished by the company to the local board of adjustment, if re- quested by it. ARTICLE IV.

(b) Telegraphers working ten hours per day will be allowed sixty consecutive min- utes for a meal between 7 and 9 a. m., 12 noon and 2:30 p. m. or between 5 and 7 p. m., or between midnight and 2:30 a. m., or receive in lieu thereof one hour over- time, provided that a day telegrapher work- ing ten hours will be allowed his meal hour between 12 noon and 2:30 p. m. This will not apply to service rendered the express or commercial telegraph business. Nothing herein will prohibit a dispatcher from granting two meal hours to a teleg- rapher working ten hours, the intention be- ing to grant regular meal hours, as far as the business of the company permits. Overtime Rates. (c) Overtime will be computed pro-rata on schedule wages ba?ed on twenty-six days per month; but in no case less than at thirty-five cents per hour, less than thirty minutes not to count, thirty minutes or over to count as one hour, except that teleg- raphers required to remain on duty after reeailar ho'irs. if detained fifteen minutes will be allowed one hour overtime for the first hour or any portion thereof. Special Calls. (A) If a teleerapher l.s called before or after ofRce hour Telegraphers in the employ will be given preference in filling vacancies or open- ings on extensions or new lines of the gen ■ eral districts, their applications to be en- dorsed by the superintendent of the division on which applicant is employed. When a new line is taken over, and sta- tions are subsequently added to it, the first manning of these positions will be adver- tised over the general districts until the ex- piration of two years from, the date the line was taken over. ie.) In case of reduction in the number of telegraphers employed, the junior telegraph- ers on the superintendent's division will first be dispensed with. If their services were satisfactory they will, on application, be given a transfer certificate which will entitle them to preference in filling new positions or vacancies on other districts of the system provided they are available when required, (f; If a position included in the attached schedule is abolished, the telegrapher will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located telegrapher on the su- perintendent's division. (S) A complete list of all telegraphers on each superintendent's division, showing their seniority standing, will be kept on file in the respective train diipatching of- fices, open to inspection of all telegraphers concerned. This list will be subject to correction on proper representation from any telegrapher, and a copy of it, corrected to date, will be furnished the general chair- man and local chairman on the first day of January of each year. (hj Telegraphers will have exclusive right to any position incorporated in the wage schedule, and any telegrapher's position sub- sequently added in accordance with the preamble, also to any new telegraphers' positions created by the absorption of other lines or the construction of new lines, when vacancies in such positions occur. 0) Telegraphers will also be eligible and considered in line of promotion to the posi- tion of agent at any of the stations not in- corporated in the wage schedule which have been omitted in view of conditions which may make it impracticable or unfair to fill those positions exclusively from one branch of the service. (j> Telegraphers promoted to official posi- tions with the company will retain their seniority according to the class from which proinoted. (k) The right of promotion of train dis- patchers will extend over the general dis- tricts, and will be governed by merit and ability: these being sufficient, the senior train dispatcher will have the preference. The order of promotion of train dispatchers will be from senior relieving dispatcher to trick dispatcher. The seniority of a train dispatcher v(i\\ date from the time he was first appointed a trick dispatcher unless by his own consent he takes another position in the service un- der which circumstances his seniority as a train dispatcher will date from the time he was last appointed a trick dispatcher. P.el'PviPg train dispatchers will be ap- pointed from their resnective superintend- ent's divisions, if available, in accordance with Clau.^e (c) of this article and will be allowed sufficient time, without pay, to learn 84 Schedules and Wage Scales. the work of train flispatching under a reg- ular trick dispatcher, such time not to ex- ceed t-ivo weeks, and they will remain on such division until they receive promotion to a steady trick, which may be claimed at any oflice on the general districts at which a vacancy occurs. All vacancies and appointments in dis- patchers' positions or new dispatchers' posi- tions created will be immediately advertised over the general districts. Application must be made within ten days of date of bulletin, and vacancies will be filled within thirty days after they occur by the appointment of the dispatchers entitled to them. In case of reduction in the number of dis- patchers employed or a dispatcher's posi- tion behig abolished in any office, the dis- patcher affected will be entitled to the posi- tion held by the junior permanent dispatcher in that office, and the dispatcher so dis- placed will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located dispatcher on the general districts. Train dispatchers will retain their senior- ity standing among the agents and operators on the general district from which promoted. If they have not worked in the capacity of agent or operator previous to appointment to position of train dispatcher, their senior- ity as a telegrapher will date from the time they were taken into the service as train dispatchers. Regular trick dispatchers who have been reduced will be entitled to relief work in preference to relief dispatchers when no other work available for regular men. Swing dispatchers working less than six days per week as dispatchers will not have preference over relief dispatchers in reliev- ing regular trick dispatchers on leave of ab- sence for more than three days, nor will they be used during any portion of the week when not employed as dispatchers, to fill any position to which another telegrapher is assigned except when such telegrapher is on leave of absence. A chief dispatcher reduced to a trick dis- patcher will be entitled to the junior perma- nent dispatcher's position on the general district on which he has last worked a trick. Dispatchers holding tricks that are not bulletined as permanent will be protected in their previous positions for the term of one year. Seniority of relief dispatchers will date from the time they start work as such. (1) The right of promotion of linemen (telegraph and telephone) will extend over the general districts (railway), and will be governed by merit and ability; where these are sufficient the senior man will be given preference. Linemen will be specially con- sidered in line of promotion to the position of foreman on the general districts (rail- way) on which they are located. ARTICLE III. No telegrapher shall be suspended (except for Investigation), discharged or disciplined until his case has first been investigated, and he has been proven guilty of the offence charged against him; the decision in such case to be arrived at within ten days from date of such suspension. If a telegrapher is found blameless In the matter under investi- gation, he will be paid at the schedule rates lor time lost, and extra expenses while at- tending such investigation, if away from home, and be reinstated. If detained more than ten days awaiting investigation at the company's instance, he will be paid schedule wages for the time in excess of ten days whatever the decision may be. Telegraphers may have the assistance of a co- telegrapher if they Sip desire. A written statement setting forth the re- sult of an investigation, and the reasons therefor, will be furnished by the company to local board of adjustment if requested by it. ARTICLE IV. Lack of convenience, such as school facili- ties, etc., will be taken into consideration in locating telegraphers, but only when this can be done without infringing on the rights of their seniors in the service. ARTICLE V. Telegraphers serving on boards of adjust- ment, representing telegraphers, will be re- lieved without unnecessary delay (not to exceed ten days^ and will be furnished free transportation for such purpose. ARTICLE VI. Telegraphers will be granted free trans- portation and leave of absence to attend their meetings, such 'free transportation will not extend beyond the next subdivisibn ad- joining their superintendent's division, and the leave of absence will not exceed two days, and will only be granted when it will not interfere with the requirements of the traffic and the service, and provided the company is not thereby put to additional ex- pense. ARTICLE VII. When a telegrapher is transferred by or- der of the proper official he will suffer no loss of schedule wages in consequence thereof, and will be allowed reasonable time (not to exceed four days and without pay) to arrange for the shipment of his house- hold goods. ARTICLE VIII. Telegraphers attending court or investiga- tion at the request of the proper official of the company, will have their extra ex- penses paid by the company in addition to their schedule wages. ARTICLE IX. Telegraphers will not be required to teach telegraphy, nor admit students not members of the station staff to their office. ARTICLE X. Telegraphers required to work at wrecks, wash-outs and slides will, in inclement weather, be provided with shelter, and be paid the necessary expense for the time away from home. ARTICLE XI. A telegrapher securing employment with the company will, within thirty days from date of employment, have returned to him all service cards and letters of recommenda- tion which have been taken up by the com- pany, except any previously is.sued by the company. Schedules and Wage Scales. 85 ARTICLE XII. A telegrapher leaving the service of the company will, on request, within five days, be furnished with a certificate by the proper official stating term or terms of service, ca- pacities in which employed, and whether dis- charged or leaving the service of his own accord. If discharged, cause of dismissal will be stated. If detained more than five days awaiting such certificate, he will be paid schedule wages for all time in excess of five days. Unless otherwise requested this cer- tificate will be mailed to the telegrapher at the place of his lest employment. AJITICLE XIII. Telegraphers will be exempt from shovel- ing snow, stenciling cars, sifting coal ashes, attending flower gardens, cleaning and dis- infecting stations and outbuildings, cutting or piling wood, handling Government mails. The lighting and attendance to switch and semaphore lights will, so far as practicable, be performed by otlier available forces. The unloading of way freight from cars, and putting away in shed, shall be done jointly with the trainmen, and further reasonable assistance will be furnished when necessary. ARTICLE XIV. At stations where dwelling, fuel and light are provided, the dwelling will be reserved exclusively for the use of the agent, and his family, unless he elects to reside elsewhere, in which event permanently appointed oper- ators having a family, will have first refusal. The following basis will be used in making deductions where telegraphers occupy com- pany's dwelling consisting of four rooms or more, $5.00; three rooms, $3.50; two rooms, $2.00, per month; one room — no charge, un- less in the opinion of the superintendent such amount should be reduced. When wood is supplied for fuel it will be out in lengtlis not exceeding sixteen inches. Kindling wood will be supplied when appli- cation is made for same. Telegraphers who have been allowed free house, fuel and light, and are required by the company to vacate living quarters, will be allowed an increase in salary equal to what their fuel allowance was worth. A telegrapher occupying a company's dwelling who is dismissed from the com- pany's service will be allowed to retain pos- session of the dwelling until he has been paid all moneys due him by the' company. The company will keep its dwellings in good repair. Occupants must keep such dwellings and surroundings clean, and must pay for repairs other than those due to ordi- nary wear and tear. Station offices, waiting rooms, etc., will be cleaned at the company's expense. ARTICLE XV. (a) Telegraphers (except train dispatch- ers) required to work on Sunday or outside of regular assigned hours on week days, will be paid overtime for such service at time and ore-half, based on schedule rates, twenty-six days per month; any portion of an hour less than thirty minutes not to count; any portion of an hour thirty min- utes or over to count as one hour. hereof, with a minimum compen- sation of sixty cents. If kept on duty more than one hour he will thereafter be paid overtime as per Clause (a>. Telegraphers required to remain on duty after regular hours, if detained fifteen minutes, will be allowed one hour's overtime for the first hour or any portion thereof. (c) If a train dispatcher is required to work outside of his regular assigned hours, or more than six days in a week, he will be paid at overtime rate as per Clause (a) hereof. (d) Telegraphers will be required to handle commercial messages on Sunday only during hours required for railway service, except on agreement. Telegraphers required by the company for Sunday duty, other than at- tendance on regular passenger trains, will be so advised on the preceding day. (e) Overtime will not be allowed unless overtime tickets are mailed to the proper official within forty-eight hours of the time the service is performed. If overtime as claimed is not allowed telegraphers will be notified in writing within ten days from the time such service is performed, setting forth the reasons for disallowance. Telegraphers will number overtime tickets consecutively for each month. (f) In circumstances where telegraphers are obliged to remain close at hand all day Sunday on account of calls being spread over the whole day, they will be paid for the whole day, and where, under the same cir- cumstances, they are obliged to remain close at hand for half a day on Sunday they will be paid for a half a day. That is to say, if a telegrapher is required to come on duty two or three times in the forenoon and is free in the afternoon, he is to be paid one- half day; while if he is required three or more times during the entire day he will be paid one day as per Clause (a) hereof. For two cal's on Sunday a half day's pay will be allowed, and for three or more calls a full day's pay will be allowed, except when the three calls come within the period of one-half day, in which case one-half day's pay will apply as per Clause (a) hereof. ARTICLE XVI. If telegraphers are required to attend switch lamps they will be paid four dollars per month for six or less such lamps, and fifty cents per month for each additional lamp in excess of six. When semaphore lamps are included fifty cents per month per lamp additional will be allowed. Nothing in this Article will relieve teleg- raphers from their responsibilities under the rules. Telegrap?iers will keep train order signal lamps clean and in good condition, and lighted when required, without extra compensation. ARTICLE XVII. Telegraphers who attend pumping engines or windwills. which work will be optional with them, will be paid ten dollars per month for attending to steam pumping en- gines and windmills, and five dollars per month for attending to windmills only. 86 S(;hrdules and Wage Scaj^es. Telegraphers sball within office hours, at- tend to tires under water tanlis within a quarter of a mile of their station, and must see that tire is in good condition immediately before going oft' duty witliout extra compen- sation. If called on duty for any of these purposes outside of office hours, telegraph- ers will be entitled to compensation as pro- vided by Clause (bj of Article XV. ARTICLE XVIII. A telegrapher required to leave his perma- nent location to do relief work temporarily will, without change in salary, be allowed all necessary expenses on production of vouchers. Other telegraphers doing relief work, ex- cept regular relieving telegraphers, will be paid the same wages, without expenses, as the telegraphers they relieve, provided such wages are not less than their own. Sufficient relief agents will be maintained to meet all reasonable demands. Tlie headquarters of relief agents are the headquarters for the division unless he holds a permanent position on the division, in which case the point where he is perma- nently located will be considered his head- quarters. Relief agents will be allowed sev- enty-five cents per day expenses when away from headquarters. ARTICLE XIX. The income accruing to a station on ac- count of telegraph commissions wiU be equitably divided between the telegraphers performing the service, the agent to be en- titled to not less than one- third the total amount. If required by the company to handle commercial telegraph business on Sundays, outside the hours required for railway service, or on week days outside of assigned hours, arrangements should be made with the commercial department re- garding compensation. ARTICLE XX. (a) At offices where two or less telegraph- ers are employed, ten consecutive hours, exclusive of meal hour, shall constitute a day's worlc. (b; At offices where an agent and two operators are employed, ten consecutive hours per day, exclusive of meal hour, or at the company's option, eight consecutive hours, without meal hour, shall constitute a day's work. The agent at such office shall not be required to perform any wire work except in cases of emergency. (c) At offices where three or more oper- ators are employed, eight consecutive hours will constitute a day's work. (d> Except in cases of emergency teleg- raphers will have eight consecutive hours' rest per day. The hours of duty of all agents will commence between six and eight o'clock a. m. Telegraphers working ten hours per day will be allowed sixty consecutive minutes for a meal between either seven and nine a. m. or twelve noon and two-fifteen p. m., or five and seven p. m., or between midnight and two-thirty a. m., or receive in lieu thereof one hour's overtime, provided that a day teleerapher working ten hours will be allowed his meal hour between twelve noon and two- fifteen p. m. This will not apply to service rendered the express or commer- cial talegrapii business. Nothing- herein will prohibit a dispatcher from granting two meal hours to a teleg- raplier working ten hours, the intention be- ing to grant regular meal hours so far as tlie business of the company permits. The regular hours of duty will be specified by the superintendent to all telegraphers. If lequired for service outside these hours, telegraphers will be given an official order as authority and excused in the same man- ner. (e> Telegraphers required to meet reg- ular scheduled mixed or passenger trains after regular hours should, if the train is late, remain on duty, keeping the station open for the accommodation of the public, unless instructed to the contrary by the proper officer of the company, and they will be entitled to compensation as provided by Article XV. Whenever a third operator's position is hereafter created the salary shall- not be less than the minimum rate in effect at that office. (f> A telegrapher called before his regular hours of duty who cannot be let off for breakfast will be entitled to pay for the meal hour. ARTICLE XXI. Eight consecutive hours' train dispatching and time required for transferring will con- stitute a day's work for a trick dispatcher. Train dispatchers will not be required to do clerical work that will interfere with the proper handling of their trains. ARTICLE XXII. If a telegrapher considers himself over- taxed, his statement to that effect to the proper official ■will be carefully considered and if well founded, relief will be granted. When an agent asks for help, the superin- tendent will either furnish it or arrange an investigation of conditions within ten days. If such investigation sustains the claim of the agent the help will be furnished. If such investigation is ag-ainst the agent, the latter may file his protest with the superin- tendent, who will immediately ask the gen- eral superintendent to send a special inves- tigator, familiar with station work, to report on the case, which will be within ten days. If "such investigator reports that the help is required, it ^vill be furnished . forthwith. If he reports that it is not required, the agent may appeal direct to the general chairman who, after investigation to satisfy himself, will handle the case as a grievance, beginning with the general superintendent. In a case where the company desires to reduce help, the agent will be given one week's notice, unless he agrees he can spare the help at once. If the agent claims the assistance is still required he will so advise his superintendent, and the latter will con- duct an investigation as outlined in the pre- ceding paragraph. If the agent is dissatis- fied with the verdict, his protest to the superintendent will restilt in a special inves- tigation at the instance of the general su-ner- intendent in the same manner as provided above, the same channels of annual being open tn the agent as therein outlined. At points wTiP'-e onprjf tor's are overw^orked or kept on duty an excessive lengrth of timr Schedules and Wage Scales. 87 upon furnishing particulars the inspector of transportation will be instructed to gro there and look into the conditions with the general chairman, or ^s ith any representative he may select, and if they recommend any change in conditions to relieve the operators it will be arranged. ARTICLE XXIII. When the handling of express or telegraph business, for which a commission payment is allowed, is withdrawn from Vny telegra- pher, the wages will be adjusted to conform with that of similar stations in the same locality where such woric is not performed by them. ARTICLE XXIV. When a telegrapher is assigned to a posi- tion and after a fair trial is found incompe- tent, he will take his place on the extra list, retaining his seniority rights. ARTICLE XXV. Train dispatchers will be allowed three weeks' leave of absence each year, with full pay. Other telegraphers who have been in the employ of the company four or more con- secutive years will be allowed two weeks' leave of absence each year, with full pay. If the company finds it inconvenient to grant leave of absence during any year to a teleg- rapher entitled to it under this rule, the telegrapher shall at his option receive either compensation at his regular salary for the period or in the next year additional leave of absence for a like period. Application for leave of absence filed in January of each year will be given prefer- ence in order of seniority of applicant, and applicants will be advised in February of date allotted them. January applicants will have preference over later applicants, and applicants after September 30th will not be entitled to salary compensation if the com- pany is unable to relieve them in that year. The company will, as far as practicable, relieve all applicants during the summer sea.'^on when so desired. In the event of a telegrapher being dis- ciiarged or leaving the service on proper notice before obtaining the deferred leave of absence, he will be paid his salary for same. All applications for leave of absence will be acknowledged in writing by the superin- tendents. ARTICLE XXVI. Telegraphers will be granted transporta- tion of their household goods and passes or reduced r-ates and leave of absence in ac- cordance with the general regulations of the company as established from time to time. Telegraphers and their families at isolated points will be given market passes (not to exceed two trips a month) to points where they can do their shopping. ARTICLE XXVII. The working hours of linemen will be reg- ular, and will not exceed ten consecutive hours per day exclusive of meal hour. A lineman required to leave his own district will be allowed all necessary expenses and extra compensation commensurate with re- "sponsibility if called upon to take charge of any number of men. District linemen will be allowed all neces- sary expenses while performing duties on their own districts away from headquarters. Linemen competent to hold other telegra- phers' positions will be considered eligible for same and will be allowed to transfer to the class of service covering such positions taking three-fourths their seniority. The seniority of linemen will date from the time of their last appointment as line- men. The preamble and Clauses b, c, d, e, f, g and j, of Article II, Articles III, IV, V. VI, VII, VIII, XJ, XII, XV, XX, XXII, XXIV, XXV and XXVI in the schedule of rules and wages will also apply to linemen. ARTICLE XXVIII. (a) The term assistant agent will be deemed to include any employe whose duty it is to assist station agents with clerical work, whether ordinarily known as assistant agent, cashier, clerk, checker or any similar title, but not including employes at stations where the staff consists of seven or more men of the classes covered by this article or at places where freight work exclusively is performed under the jurisdiction of an agent other than the station agent. Only the positions incorporated in the accompany- ing schedule of wages will be considered assistant agents within the meaning of this schedule. (b) The seniority of assistant agents will date from the time they last entered the company's service as such, it being under- stood that assistant agents temporarily out of employment on account of staff reduction will not forfeit their seniority provided they are available when required. (c) Assistant agents competent to hold other telegraphers' positions will be consid- ered eligible for same, and will be allowed to transfer to the class of service covering such positions without carrying their senior- ity as assistant agents with them. (d) The advertising and filling of positions by assistant agents will be governed by the provisioiis of Article II. except that the right of promotion will extend over each superin- tendent's division only. (e) The provision as regards holidays with pay affecting other telegraphers, as per Arti- cle XXV, will also apply to assistant agents. (f) Where assistant agen.ts are now kept on duty ten hours per day or longer, it is not intended that their hours shall be ex- tended bej'ond what they are now working. (g) The Freanible and Articles III, VI, Vll, VIII, XI and XXVI in the schedule of rules and wages will also apply to assistant agents. ARTICLE XXIX. Application may be made to the general manag'er- direct for revision of schedule. ARTICLE XXX. Minimum Monthly Wages for Telegraphers and Linemen.

ARTICLE XXXII. There will be no change in the foregoing rules and rates of pay except on thirty (30j days' notice. M. H. MacLEOD, For the Company. L. F. MUNCEY, For the Telegraphers. RULINGS. Article II — Clause (k) — Regular trick dispatchers working six days a week are permanent dispatchers." Swing dispatchers are rated as regular trick dispatchers, and in case of reduction of staff or abolishing offices the men so displaced will displace the junior permanent men on the districts, and they in turn will displace the swing dispatchers, according to seniority; the idea being to give the senior men permanent work if possible. This does not interfere with office seniority rights as shown in this article. It is understood that relief dispatchers filing into all dispatchers' positions that are bulletined as temporary positions, will re- ceive the rating of a regular trick dis- patcher. Article XIII— The matter of handling transfer of His Majesty's mails from one train to another at certain points, and referred to in this article, it was agreed that the handling of these mails at one-man stations would be looked after by the telegraphers as hereto- fore, and if there was any case where it was shown that there was any hardship in the handling of same that the telegraphers would take the matter up as a grievance for adjustment. It was also agreed that at points where there was an assistant agent or other staff that could be utilized to handle the transfer of such mail, in the event of any mishandling, the man assigned to do such work would be held responsible. Article XIV— In the matter of fuel for agents at points where coal equal to Edmonton grade cannot be furnished, the company agrees to furnish either hard coal or wood. Article XV— The hours of service for Sunday will be the same as the assigned week-day hours. Article XVIII— It is understood that a regular relief agent can hold a permanent position, to which he can return after relieving the men during the summer months, or for a period not exceeding one year, in which case his station must be bulletined temporarily, but the posi- tion of the telegrapher taking this temporary position will not be protected. The idea being to get men with considerable experi- ence to do the relief work. In cases whire two men are required to work one or more days making a transfer, they will both be paid for this work. Article XXV— Relief agents' holidays will start from the day he arrives at his headquarters unless by his own consent he agrees to take them from some point on the road where he has fmished relieving a telegrapher. Article XXX— A.ny fraction of a month worked by a telegrapher, whether services were per- formed at one or more stations, will be considered broken time. Wage scale as per Clause 31 effective December 1st, 1917, balance effective Jan- uary 1st, 1918. ' Canadian Pacific Railway (EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 1917.) The following rules and wages will govern the telegraphers on the Canadian Pacific Railway. When additional telegraphers' positions are created, compensation will be fixed in con- formity with that for positions of the same class as shown in this schedule : ARTICLE I. All employees assigned by proper author- ity to railway telegraph or railway telephone service of any character or duration, also station agents incorporated in the accom- panying schedule of wages, will be consirlered telegraphers within the meaning of this schedule and are so called herein. ARTICLE II. fa) Thff right of promotion of telesrraphers will extend over each general superintend- ent's district and will be governed by merit, fitness and ability. Where these are suffi- cient the senior telegrapher will be given preference. A telesjrapher of not less than two years' service desiring to transfer from one gen- eral district to another will be ffiven a transfer certificate showing his length of service and the capacities in which he has been employer!. This certificate will not carry with it any seniority rights but will entitle the hoVier to the position of junior extra telegrapher on the district to which he is transferrin-T. Transfer certificates will not be valid unless filed with the general superintendent of the district to which trans- fer is being made, within thirty days from date of issue. (b) A telegrapher's seniority will date from the time he last entererl the service as a telegrapher. The seniority of a telegrapher employed on lines under construction, or ab- sorbed by the company, will date from his last appointment as a telegrapher on such lines. When newly constructed lines are taken over by the operating department all telegraphers' position will be considered va- cant and any telegrapher in line for promo- Schedules and Wage Scales. 95 tion to them will have fifteen days within which to make application for same. When two or more telegraphers are employed on the same day their seniority standing- will be determined by the time they start work. When a telegrapher is offered a position by the company in another department it is not obligatory upon him to accept, and if he does he forfeits seniority rights unless an understanding to the contrary is reached be- tween himself and his superintendent. Any such understanding must be with the consent of the men affected and made through the local chairman. (c) All vacancies and apointments for sixty days or over will be immediately bul- letined by "23" message over the superin- tendent's division on which they occur (ex- cept train dispatchers and linemen, which will he bulletined over the general superin- tendent's district). Telegraphers (except train dispatchers and linemen), desiring to exercise their seniority or promotion rights on general superintend- ent's district other than division on which they are located, will so advise their super- intendent, who will furnish them with co^es of vacancy bulletins on other divisions of the general district, and such telegrapher may make application for same through his superintendent, which application will receive consideration as per Clause (a). When vacancies are bulletined the bulletin will state the rate of compensation and wliether or not the company supply a dwell- ing. Applications for vacancies must be made within ten days from date of bulletin. A telegrapher declining to accept promo- tion in any instance does not forfeit his riglit to the same or any other position he may be entitled to under seniority when a vacancy occurs. A telegrapher on leave of absence when a vacancy occurs will not be debarred from claiming position and receiv- ing the appointment, if entitled to it, pro- viding that such claim is made within fifteen days from date of bulletin. Chief dispatch- ers or other official will advise telegraphers' local chairman of all vacancies. If a telegrapher receives consent from the company to leave the service for a period of three months or less he may retain his posi- tion for that period. If his leave of absence is extended beyond three months his position will at once be bulletined vacant and he may retain senior- ity for an additional three months after which he loses all rights. This is not in- tended to apply to cases of sickness which are, in the opinions of the superintendent and local chairman, bona fide. A vacancy will be filled within thirty days after it occurs Vjy the appointment of the telegrapher entitled to it. Telegraphers ap- plying for a position advertised maj', if they so desire, cancel their application within fifteen days from the date of the advertising of the vacancy ; should the senior applicant withdraw, or not receive the appointment, the next senior qualified applicant who has not withdrawn will then be appointed with- out another bulletin being issued advertis- ing the vacancy. After such period of fifteen days a request to cancel or withdraw his application will not be considered and the position from which he is transferring will be immediately advertised and he cannot again bid in his former position until it again becomes vacant. Vacancies in the position of relief agents will be advertised and appointments and cancellations of same shall be made in writ- ing. When a vacancy occurs the superintend- ent will fill same by appointing the senior man who is, in his opinion, entitled to it, but this will not prevent any telegraplier senior to the man so appointed claiming nis right to the position under Clause (a) he*%of, provided he files his protest within ten days after the appointment has been bulletined as above. (d) Telegraphers in the employ will be given preference in filling vacancies or open- ings on extensions or new lines of the gen- eral district, their applications to be en- dorsed by the superintendent of the division on which applicants are e/nployed. When a new line is taken over and stations are sub- s-equently added to it the first manning of these position will be advertised over the general district until the expiration of two years from the date the line was taken over. (e) In case of reduction in the number of telegraphers employed the junior telegra- phers in their respecti^ e superintendent's di- visions will be first dispensed with. If their services were satisfactory, they will, on ap- plication, be given a transfer certificate which will entitle them to preference in fillin? new positions or vacancies on other districts of the system, provided tliey are available when required. (f) If a position included in the attached schedule is abolished, the telegrapher will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located telegrapher on the sa- perintendent's division. Senior men shall have preference in doing- spare work when staff is reduced, providing in the opinion of the sviperintendent they are capable. (g) A complete list of all the telegraphers on each superintendent's division showing their seniority standing, will be kept on file in the respective train dippatching offices, open to the inspection of all telegraphers con- cerned. This list will be subject to correc- tion on proper representation from any teleg- rapher, and a copy of it, corrected to date, will be furnished the general chairman at the beginning of each year. Seniority pro- tests by telegraphers shall be invalid unless filed within one year from the date of pub- lication of the seniority list. (h) Telegraphers will have the exclusive right to all positions incorporated in the accompanying wage schedule, and any teleg-- raphers' positions subsequently addf^d in ac- cordance with the preamble, also to any new telegraphers' positions created by the absorp- tion of other lines or the construction of new lines when vacancies in such positions oc- cur. (i) Telegraphers will also be eligible and considered in line of promotion to the posi- tion of agent at any of tiie stations not in- corporated in the attached wage schedule which have been omitted in view of condi- tion which may make it impracticable or un- fair to fill these positions exclusively from one branch of the service. 96 Schedules and Wage Scales. (j) The right of promotions of train dis- patchers will extend over each general su- perintendent's district and will be governed by merit and ability ; these being sufficient, the senior train dispatcher to have prefer- ence. The right of train dispatchers to transfer from one division to another will not be per- mitted when it will seriously impair the effi- ciency of the service. The order of promo- tion of train dispatchers will be from senior relieving dispatcher to trick dispatcher. The seniority of a train dispatcher will date from the time he was first appointed a trick dis- patcher unless by his own consent he takes another position in the service, under which circumstances his seniority as a train dis- patcher will date from the time he was last appointed a trick dispatcher. Relieving train dispatchers will be ap- pointed from their respective superintendent's division, if available, in accordance with Clause (c) of this article and will be allowed sufficient time, without pay. to learn the work of train dispatching under a regular trick dispatcher, such time not to exceed two weeks, and they will remain on such division until they receive promotion to a steady trick, which may be claimed at any office on the general district at which a vacancy oc- curs. All vacancies and appointments for sixty days or over in dispatchers' positions or new dispatchers' positions created will be imme- diately advertised over tlie general district. Application must be made within ten days of date of bulletin and vacancies will be filled within thirty days after they occur by the appointment of the dispatchers entitled to them. In case of reduction in the number of dis- patchers employed or a dispatcher's position being abolished in any office, the dispatcher affected will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanent dispatcher in that office and the dispatcher so displaced will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located dispatcher on the gen- eral district. Train dispatchers will retain their seniority standing among the agents and operators on the general district. If they have not worked in the capacity of agent or operator previous to appointment to the position of train dispatcher their sen- iority as a telegrapher will date from the time they were taken into the ser\ ice as train dispatchers. Regular trick dispatchers who have been reduced will be entitled to relief work in preference to relief dispatchers when no other work available for regular men. Swing dispatchers working less than six days per week as dispatchers will not have preference over relief dispatchers in reliev- ing regular trick dispatchers on leave of absence for more than three days, nor will they be used during any portion of the week when not employed as dispatchers to fill any position to which another telegrapher is as- signed except when such telegrapher is on leave of absence. A chief dispatcher reduced to a trick dis- patcher will be entitled to the junior perma- nent dispatcher's position on the general dis- trict on which he has last worked a trick provided he has an agreement as per Clause (b) of this article. Dispatchers holding tricks that are not bul- letined as permanent will be protected in their previous positions for the term of one year. Seniority of relief dispatchers will date from the time they start to work as such. (k) The right ot promotion of linemen (telegraph and telephone) will extend over, each general superintendent's district (rail- way) and will be governed by merit and ability; where these are sufficient, the senior men will be given preference. Linemen will be specially considered in line of prom.otion to the position of foreman on the general superintendent's district (railwajO on which they are located. ARTICLE IIL No telegrapher shall be suspended (except for investigation), discharged or disciplined until his case has first been investigated and he has been proven guilty of the offense charged against him, the decision in such case to be arrived at within ten days from date of such suspension. If a telegrapher is found blameless in the matter under in- vestigation he will be paid at schedule rates for the time lost and extra expenses while attending such investigation, if away from home, and be reinstated. If detained more than ten days awaiting investigation at the company's instance he will be paid schedule wages for the time in excess of ten days whatever the decision may be. Telegraphers may have the assistance of a co-telegrapher if they so desire. A written statement setting forth the re- sult of an investigation and the reason 'there- for will be furnished by the company to the local board of adjustment if requested by it. ARTICLE IV. Lack of conveniences such as school fa- cilities, etc., will be taken into consideration in locating telegraphers but only when this can be done without infringing on the rights of their seniors in- the service. ARTICLE V. Telegraphers serving on boards of adjust- ment representing telegraphers will be re- lieved without unnecessary delay (not to ex- ceed ten days) and will be furnished free transportation for such purpose. ARTICLE VI. Telegraphers will be given free transpor- tation and leave of absence to attend their meetings. Such free transportation will not extend beyond the next section adjoining their superintendent's division, and the leave of absence will not exceed two days, and will only be granted when it will not inter- fere with the requirements of the traffic and the service and provided the company is not thereby put to additional expense. ARTICLE VIL When a telegrapher is transferred by order of the proper official he will suffer no loss of schedule wages in consequence thereof, and will be allowed reasonable time (not to Schedules and "Wage Scales. 97 exceed four days and without pay) to ar- ransre for the shipment of his household ef- fects. ARTICLE VIII. Telegraphers attending court or investiga- tion at the request of the proper official of the company will have their extra expenses paid by the company in addition to their schedule wages. ARTICLE IX. Telegraphers will not be required to teach telegraphy nor admit students not members of the station staff to their offices. ARTICLE X. Telegraphers required to work at wrecks, washouts, and slides will, in inclement Aveather, be provided with shelter and be paid necessary expenses for the time away from home. ARTICLE XI. A telegrapher securing employment with the company will, wilhin thirty days from date of employment, have returned to him all service cards and letters of recommenda- tion which may have been taken up by the company, except any previously issued by the company. ARTICLE XII. A telegrapher leaving the service of the company will, on request, within five days be turnished with a certificate by the proper official stating term or terms of service, ca- pacities in which employed, and whether discharged or leaving the service of his own accord. If discharged, cause of dismissal will be stated. If detained more than five days awaiting such certificate he will be paid schedule wages for all time in excess of five days. Unless otherwise requested this cer- tificate will be mailed to the telegrapher at the place of last employment. , ARTICLE XIIL Telegraphers will be exempt from shovel- ling snow, stencilling cars, sifting cOal ashes, attending to flower gardens, cleaning and disinfecting stations, or outbuildings, cutting or pihng wood, handling government mails. The lighting and attendance to switch and semaphore lamps will, so far as practicable, be performed by other available force. The unloading of way freight from cars and put- ting away in shed shall be done jointly with the trainmen, and further reasonable assist- ance will be furnished when necessary. ARTICLE XIV. At stations where dwelling, fuel and light are provided, the dwelling will, as far as practicable, be reserved exclusively for the use of the agent and his family, unless he elects to reside elsewhere, in which event permanently appointed operator having a family is to have Ihe first refusal. A deduction of five dollars per month will be made from the schedule rating of all telegraphers occupying company's dwellings, unless, in the opinion of the superintendent, such amount should be reduced. When wood is supplied for fuel it will be cut m lengths not exceeding sixteen inches. Kindling wood will be supplied when appli- cation is made for same. Telegraphers who have been allowed free house, fuel and light, and are required by the company to vacate living quarters, will b^ allowed an increase in salary equal to what their fuel allowance was worth. A telegrapher occupying a company's dwel- ling who is dismissed from the company's service will be allowed to retain possession of the dwelling until he has been paid all moneys due him by the company. The company will keep its dwellings in good repair. Occupants must keep such dwellings and their surroundings clean and must pay for repairs, other than those due to ordinary wear and tear. Station offices, waiting rooms, etc., will be cleaned at the company's expense. ARTICLE XV. (a) Telegraphers (except train dispatch- ers) required to work on Sunday or outside of regular assigned hours on week days will be paid overtime for such service at time and one-half based on schedule rate twenty- six days per month, any portion of an hour less than thirty minutes not to count, any portion of an hour thirty minutes or over to count as one hour. (b) If a telegrapher is called before or after office hours, which call shall cover the first hour's service, he will be paid one hour's overtime at the rate provided in Clause (a) hereof, with a minimum compensation of sixty cents. If kept on duty more than one hour he will thereafter be paid overtime as per Clause (a). Telegraphers required to remain on duty after regular hours, if de- tained fifteen minutes, will be allowed one hour's overtime for the first hour or any portion thereof. (c) If a train dispatcher is required to work outside of his regular assigned hours or more than six days in a week he will be paid overtime rate as per Clause (a). (d) Telegraphers will be required to handle commercial messages on Sunday only during hours required for railway service, except on agreement. Telegraphers required by the company for Sunday duty, other than at- tendance oh regular passenger trains, will be so advised on the preceding day. (e) Overtime will not be allowed unless overtime tickets are mailed to the proper official within forty-eight hours from the time the service is performed. If overtime as claimed is not allowed telegraphers will be notified in writing within ten days from the time such service is performed, setting forth the reasons for disallowance. Teleg- raphers will number overtime tickets con- secutively for each month. (f) If circumstances where telegraphers are obliged to remain close at hand all day Sunday on account of calls being spread over the whole day, t'fcey will be paid for the whole day, and where, under the same cir- cumstances, they are obliged to remain close at hand for a half day on Sunday they will be paid for a half day. That is to say. if a telegrapher is required to come on duty two or three times in the forenoon and is free in the afternoon, he is to be paid one- half day ; while if he is required three or more time during the entire day he will be paid one day. 98 Schedules and" Wage Scales. ARTICLE XVI. If telegraphers are required to attend switch lamps they will be paid four dollars per month for six or less such lamps and fifty cents per month for each additional lamp in excess of six. When semaphore lamps are included fifty cents per month per lamp additional will be allowed. Nothing in this article will relieve telegra- phers from their responsibilities under the rules. Telegraphers will keep train order signal lamps clean and in good condition, and lighted when required, without extra compensation, ARTICLE XVIL Telegraphers who attend pumping engines or windmills, which work will be optional with them, will be paid ten dollars per month for attending to steam pumping engines and windmills, and five dollars per month for attending to windmills only. Telegraphers shall, within office hours, at- tend to fires under water tanks within a quarter of a mile of their station, and must see that fire is in good condition immediately before going off duly without extra com- pensation. If called on duty for any of these purposes outside of office hours, telegraphers will be entitled to compensation as provided by Clause (b) of Article XV. ARTICLE XVIIL A telegrapher required to leave his per- manent location to do relief work tempo- rarily will, without change in salary, be al- lowed all necessary expenses on production of vouchers. Other telegraphers doing relief work, ex- cept regular relieving telegraphers, will be paid the same wages, without expenses, as the telegraphers they relieve, provided such wages are not less than their own. Sufficient relief agents will be maintained to meet all reasonable demands. The head- quarters of relief agents are the headquar- ters for the division, unless he holds a per- manent position on the division, in which case the point where he is permanently lo- cated will be considered his headquarters. Relief agents will be allowed 75 cents per day expenses when away from headquarters. ARTICLE XIX. Railway telegraphers handling Canadian Pacific Railway commercial business will be allowed ten per cent commission on all busi- ness between points reached by the Canadian Pacific telegraph lines and connecting tele- graph lines with which business is checked direct, and on Canadian Pacific Railway pro- portion of cablegrams. The income accruing to a station on ac- count of telegraph commissions will be equi- tably divided between the telegraphers per- forming the service, the agent to be entitled to not less than one-third of the total amount. If required by the company to handle com- mercial telegraph business on Sundays out- side the hours required for railway service, or on week days outside of assigned hours, arrangements should be made with the "com- mercial department regarding compensation. ARTICLE XX. fa) At offices where two or less telegra- phers are employed, ten consecutive hours, exclusive of meal hour, shg,ll constitute a day's work. (b) At offices where an agent and two operators are employed ten consecutive hours per day, exclusive of meal hour, or at the company's option, eight consecutive hours, without meal hour, shall constitute a daV's work. The agent at such office shall not be required to perform any wire work except in cases of emergency. (c) At offices where three or more opera- tors are employed eight consecutive hours will constitute a day's work. (d) Except in cases of emergency telegra- phers will have eight consecutive hours" rest per day. The hours of duty of all agents will com- mence between 6:00 and 8:00 o'clock a. m. Telegraphers working ten hours per day will be allowed sixty consecutive minutes for a meal between either 7 :00 a. m. and 9 :00 a. m. and 12 :00 noon and 2 :15 p. m., or 5 :00 p. m. and 7 :00 p. m., or between mid- night and 2 :30 a. m., or receive in lieu thereof one hour's overtime, provided that a day telegrapher working ten hours will be allowed his meal hour between 12 :00 noon and 2 :15 p. m. This will not apply to service rendered the express and commercial tele- graph business. Nothing herein will prohibit a dispatcher from granting two meal hours to a telegra- pher working ten hours, the intention being to grant regular meal hour so far as the business of the company permits. The regular hours of duly will be specified by the superintendent to all telegraphers. If required for service outside these hours, telegraphers will be given an official order as authority and excused in the same man- ner. (e) Telegraphers required to meet regular scheduled mixed or passenger trains after regular hours should, if the train is late, re- main on duty, keeping the station open for the accommodation of the public, unless in- structed to the contrary by the proper officer of the company, and they will be entitled to compensation as provided by Article XV. Whenever a third operator's position is hereafter established his salary shall not be less than the minimum rate in effect at that office. (f) A telegrapher called before his regular hours of duty who cannot be let off for breakfast will be entitled to pay for the meal hour. ARTICLE XXL Eight consecutive hours' train dispatching and time requir,ed for transferring will con- stitute a day's wcrk for a trick dispatcher. Train dispatchers will not be required to do clerical work that will interfere with the proper handling of their trains. ARTICLE XXIL If a telegrapher considers himself over- taxed his statement to that effect to the proper official will be carefully considered, and if well founded relief will be granted. When an agent asks for help, the super- intendent will either furnish it or arrange Schedules and Wage Scales. 99 an investigation of conditions within ten days. If such investigation sustains the claim 'of the agent, the lielp will be furnished. If such investigation is against the agent, the latter may file his protest with the superin- tendent, who will immediately ask the gen- eral superintendent to send a special investi- gator, familiar with station work, to report on the case, which will be within ten days. If such investigator reports that the help is required it will be furnished forthwith. If he reports that it is not required, the agent may appeal direct to the general chair- man, who, after investigation, to satisfy him- self will handle the case as a grievance be- ginning with the general superintendent. In a case where the company desires to reduce help, the agent will be given one week's notice, unless he agrees that he- can spare the help at once. If the agent claims the assistance is still required, he will so advise his superintendent and the latter will conduct an investigation as outlined in the preceding paragraph. If the agent is dis- satisfied with the verdict his protest to the superintendent will result in a special in- vestigation at the instance of the general superintendent in the same manner as pro- vided above, the same channels of appeal be- ing open to the agent as therein outlined. At points where operators are overworked or kept on duty an excessive length of time, upon furnishing particulars, the inspector of transportation will be instructed to go there and look into the conditions with the general chairman, or with any representative he may select, and if they recommend any changes in conditions to relieve the operators it will be arranged. ARTICLE XXIIL When the handling of express or telegraph business, for which a commission payment is allowed, is withdrawn from any telegrapher, the wages will be adjusted to conform with that of similar stations in the same locality where such work is not performed by them. ARTICLE XXIV. When a telegrapher is assigned to a posi- tion and after a fair trial is found incompe- tent he will take his place on the extra list, retaining his seniority rights. ARTICLE XXV. Train dispatchers will be allowed three weeks' leave of absence each year with full pay. Other telegraphers who have been in the employ of the company four or more con- secutive years will be allowed two weeks' leave of absence each year with full pay. If the company finds it inconvenient to grant leave of absence during any year to a teleg- rapher entitled to it under this rule, the teleg- rapher shall, at his option, receive, either compensation at his regular salary for the period, or in the next year additional leave of absence for a like period. Applications for leave of absence filed in January of each year will be given prefer- ence in order of seniority of applicant, and applicants will be advised in February of dates allotted them. January applicants will have preference over later applicants, and applicants after September 30th will not be entitled to salary compensation if the com- pany is unable to relieve them in that year. The company will, as far as practicable, re- lieve all applicants during the summer season when so desired. In the event of a telegrapher being dis- charged or leaving the service on proper notice before obtaining the deferred leave of absence, he will be paid his salary for same. ARTICLE XXVI. Telegraphers will be granted transportation of their household goods and passes or re- duced rates and leave of absence in accord- ance with the general regulations of the com- pany as established from time to time. ARTICLE XXVII. The working hours of linemen will be regular and will not exceed ten consecutive hours per day exclusive of meal hour. A lineman required to leave his own dis- trict will be allowed all necessary expenses and extra compensation commensurate with responsibility, if called upon to take charge of any number of men. District linemen will be allowed all neces- sary expenses while performing duties on their own district away from headquarters. Linemen competent to hold other telegra- phers' positions will be considered eligible for same and will be allowed to transfer to the class of service covering such position taking three-tourths of their seniority. Linemen accepting promotion to the posi- tion of telegraph or telephone inspectors will retain their seniority standing provided they make an agreement with the superintendent of telegraph and local chairman with the consent of the men affected, to that effect. The seniority of linemen (except as pro- vided by the preceding paragraph) will date from the time of their last appointment as linemen. The preamble in Clauses b, c, d, 'e, f, and g of Article II, Articles HI, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, XT, XII, XV, XX, XXII, XXIV, XXV, and XXVI in the schedule of Rules and Wages will also apply to linemen. ARTICLE XXVIIL (Effective October 1st, 1917.) (a) The term assistant agents will be deemed to include any employe whose duty it is to assist station agents with clerical work, whether ordinarily known as assistant agent, cashier, clerk, checker or any similar title, but not including employes at stations where the staff consists of seven or more men of the classes covered by this article, or at places where freight work exclusively is performed under the jurisdiction of an agent other than the station agent. Only the positions incorporated in the accompany- ing schedule of wages will be considered as- sistant agents within the meaning of this schedule. (b) The seniority of assistant agents will date from the time they last entered the company's service as such, it being under- stood that assistant agents temporarily out of employment on account of staff reduction will not forfeit their seniority, provided they are available when required. 100 Schedules and Wage Scales. (c) Assistant agents competent to hold other telegraphers' positions will be consid- ered eligible for same and will be allowed to transfer to the class of service covering such positions without carrying their seniority as assistant agents with them.

The following rules and wages will govern telegraphers on the Central Vermont Rail- way. W^hen additional telegraphers' positions are created compensation will be fixed in conformity with that for positions of the same class as shown by this schedule. 1. All employes assigned by proper author- ity to railway telegraph or telephone service of any character or duration, also the station agents as shown in the attached wage scale, except where a star is shown opposite the name of the station, will be considered as telegraphers within the meaning of this schedule and are so called herein. Stations where agents are not required to do telegraph work will be indicated by a star. The star indication will not be under- stood as depriving the agent of seniority rights. 2. (a) The promotion of telegraphers shall extend over each superintendent's division, and will be governed by merit and ability; where ability is sufficient, seniority will have the preference, the superintendent being the judge. (b) In case of reduction in the number of telegraphers employed the senior telegra- phers on their respective division will be retained in preference to telegraphers junior to them. If a position included in the at- tached schedule is abolished, the telegrapher affected will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located telegra- pher on the superintendent's division. (c) All vacancies and permanent appoint- ments will be immediately bulletined over the superintendent's district, addressed to telegraphers and telegraphers shall have ten days from the date of such message within which to file application. A vacancy will be filled If practicable within twenty days from the time it occurs by the appointment of the man entitled to it. Schedules and Wage Scales. 127 (d) Clerks who have had experience in sta- tion work will not be debarred from bidding on positions named in this schedule. (e) A complete list of all tele^aphers on each superintendent's division showing their seniority standing- will be kept on file in the respective train dispatching offices open to the inspection of all telegraphers concerned. (f> Vacancies in train dispatchers' posi- tions Will be filled by telegraphers in the employ, if considered competent, any teleg- grapher so promoted will retain seniority standing in the ranks of the agents and operators. (g> When vacancies are filled in an emer- gency by an employe who is not a telegraph operator the assignment shall be considered a temporary arrangement. 3. If an employe is suspended or discharged for reasons which he may consider unjust, he shall have the right to appeal to his immediate superior officers within two weeks. If a satisfactory adjustment is not arrived at he may call on any other em- ploye named in Rule 1, in good standing, or a committee representing the employes named in Rule 1 to represent him. If he is still dissatisfied with the result he may appeal in regular order to the highest offi- cials of the company. If investigation devel- ops that the employe was wrongfully charged he shall receive full pay for time lost. 4. Employes who are transferred from one station to another by request of the com- pany, will be furnished free transportation for dependent members of their families and household goods, if lawful. 5.

Telegraphers performing duty at wrecks or emergency offices, will be paid their reg- ular wages and i-easonable expenses. 7.

(b) At offices where more than two teleg- raphers are employed, nine (9) consecutive hours, including meal hour, shall constitute a day's work, or at the company's option, eight (S) consecutive hours without a meal shall constitute a day's work. fc) Dispatchers will relieve agents and operators foi- not less than thirty minutes nor more than one hour for meals between 11:30 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. If unable to do so one hour overtime will be allowed and thirty minutes allowed as soon as possible thereafter. This rule will not apply to those working less than ten (10) hours per day. 8. (a) A telegrapher required to remain on duty longer than the number of hours con- stituting a day's work will be given an official order and be excused in the same manner, and will be allowed overtime as per Clause (b). (b) Overtime will be paid at the rate of twenty-five (25) cents per hour. In computing overtime, less than thirty minutes will not be counted; thirty minutes and less than sixty will be counted as one hour. (c) If a telegrapher is called before or after his regular hours he will be allowed fifty cents for each call for which one hour's service shall, if necessary, be performed. When .'i telegrapher is required to attend a regular scheduled train due at his station within three hours after his regular hours duty he will receive pay at the rate of twenty-five (25) cents per hour or fraction thereof. (d) Overtime will not be allowed unless overtinie tickets consecutively numbered are mailed to the proper official within forty- eight hours from the time service is per- formed. If overtime is not allowed, telegra- phers will be notified within ten days from the time service was performed setting forth the reason. 9 (a) Telegraphers at twenty-four (24) hour service offices required to work Sun- days will be paid pro rata on schedule salary for such service, based on twenty-six days per month.

Effective January 1st, 1918, the rules in the schedule referred to below are changed to read as follows: ARTICLE II (d). Sunday Hours and Holidays. So far as business will permit, telegra- phers will be excused on Sundays and holi- days without reduction of pay. Telegra- phers required to perform any service on Sunday will be allowed extra pay pro rata, with minimum of one hour, for all Sunday work; Sunday hours to be regularly as- signed and to be consecutive and within the spread of the week-day assignment. For all work on Sunday, outside of the regularly as- signed hours, telegraphers will be allowed overtime as per overtime rules. In "GO" Chicago, "XN" Danville, "OW Salem, and "D" Evansville, telegraphers re- quired to perform any service on New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas, will be allowed extra pay pro rata with a minimum of one hour on the same basis as for Sunday work. The rate of pay for Sunday work will be the monthly rate divided by 26 days as the basis for a day's pay, and divided by the regularly assigned hours to make the rate per hour. The same basis will be used to apply the rate for holidays in "GO", "XN", "OW", and "D". To establish the pay and the pro rata overtime basis for week days the rate per month will be divided by the actual working days in the month, exclu- sive of Sundays. ARTICLE III (b). Overtime will be compueted pro rata, with minimum of 50c per hour in "GO" Chicago, "XN" Danville, "OW" Salem, "D" Evans- ville, and 40c per hour in other offices. ARTICLE V (a). A telegrapher required to meet trains within one hour after the expiration of his day will be paid 40c for his services, re- maining on duty one hour, if riccessary; if longer than one hour, he shall be allowed overtime thereafter. ARTICLE V (b). Telegraphers called or instructed to come on duty by a competent authority, outside of regular established hours (except as pro- vided for in this artictle) will be allowed 65c for the service the first hour, and over- time thereafter. An increase of $10.00 per month in the rate of pay for each position covered by the Telegraphers' Schedule is granted, effective January 1st, 1918. ARTICLE XX. Abrogation. It is agreed that the rules and rate? of pay shall continue in force until April 1st, 1919, and thereafter subject to thirty days' written notice by either party to the other.

(b) In general and relay ofHces, vacancies will be filled by advancing the regular teleg- raphers according to their office seniority, and the last trick will be bulletined on all divisions. (c) The right to promotion will be gov- erned by ability and seniority; the telegra- pher longest in the service as specified in paragraph (a) of this article will be entitled to first choice of vacancies or new positions, provided they are capable. (d; In the event of a reduction of force in positions covered by this schedule, the incumbents of the positions abolished will have the right to any position covered by this schedule on the division where employed which they are competent to fill, and the incumbents thereof are their juniors in the service, provided, in doing so, they will not displace any telegrapher who has more than five years' seniority.

At stations where household supplies cannot be procured, free freight rate will be granted telegraphers on such supplies as pro- vided in published tariffs. 13. Telegraphers will be regarded as in line of promotion dependent upon the faithful performance of their duties and fitness for increased responsibility, and where these are sufficient in the judgment of the officers, seniority will have preference. Telegraphers transferred at their request and proving in- capable of holding such position will, if re- tained in the service, be placed on extra list with no change in their seniority rights. Telegraphers assigned to other duties shall not lose their rights to position vacated for a period of six months.

Either a vacancy must exist or there must be a material change in a position before a telegrapher can displace a junior one. 16. Temporary vacancies of thirty days or more will be filled by the senior extra teleg- raphers when available. In event of such vacancies at offices where two or more teleg- raphers are employed, regular men may ex- ercise their seniority over extra men during such temporary vacancies. There must be no violation of the hours of service law in making such changes. Extra telegraphers who have performed initial service, traveling at the instance of the company, will receive thirty-five cents per hour for necessary time consumed in deadheading with a minimum of six hours for each movement and a maximum of not more than one day's pay of the telegrapher relieved. 17.

F. McMANUS, Approved: General Superintendent. S. M. ROGERS, Vice-President. Revised 1917. Erie Railroad Company EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1917. In settlement of matters in controversy between the Erie Railroad Company and the New Jersey & New York Railroad Com- pany, and their employes designated in Ar- ticle I of this agreement, and the attached wage scale, which have been submitted to mediation, the following agreement has been reached between the above-named com- panies and the committee representing their above-described employes. ARTICLE I. Effective October 1, 1917, the following rules will govern the service of employes required to perform the duties of a teleg- rapher (whether termed agent, assistant agent, or clerk) and telephone operators connected with the movement of trains; also such exclusive agents and others whose posi- tions are included in the wage scale. ARTICLE IL When new positions are created, the com- pensation therefor will be fixed in conform- ity with that paid for similar positions. In the event that telephoners are substi- tuted for telegraphers as specified in this agreement, the same rules and compensation will apply to them. ARTICLE nL Employes suspended or dismissed may refer their case by written statement to the superintendent; within ten days, if possible, after the receipt of said statement, the case will have a thorough investigation and a decision will be given. Employes involved are allowed to choose one or more employes in their class of service in good standing to represent them at the investigation, and may be present and hear all the evidence In the case. When the result of the investi- gation is unsatisfactory, and the facts jus- tify, the right to appeal is conceded. WTien found blameless, the employes shall be re- instated and receive full pay for the time lost. ARTICLE IV. All employes are in line for promotion, ad- vancement depending upon faithful discharge of duties and capacity for increased respon- sibility. Where ability and conduct permit, seniority rules will govern. Seniority will date from the last date of entering the serv- ice of the company. ARTICLE V. When vacancies occur or new positions are created they will be promptly advertised by "23" message, rates of pay and hours of service being specified in the advertisement. "VSTien it is impractical to send these no- tices by wire, they will be sent by train mail. It will be the practice to fill such vacancies by the promotion of employes in the telegraph and telephone service when the qualifications of such employes will per- mit. This rule will apply to copiers and telegraphers in superintendent's office. Employes are always at liberty to apply for any position in the service for which they consider themselves qualified and their applications will be given due consideration when vacancies occur. The right to reject any applicant who may be considered un- suited for the position in question is re- served. Positions known to be temporarily vacant thirty days or more, or that will remain vacant for an indefinite period after thirty days' temporary vacancy, shall be given to the oldest eligible and qualified applicant for same, provided such temporary assignment can be made without Impairing the service. No pay for deadheading will be allowed in filling such temporary vacancies. A statement showing location, position, rates of pay and hours of service for adver- tisable positions will be prepared and a copy submitted to each office on the division, to- gether with a copy of these rules. ARTICLE VI. Any employe declining to accept promotion does not forfeit his rights to the same or any other position he may be entitled to under seniority when a vacancy occurs or a new position is created. Schedules and Wage Scales. 287 ARTICLE VII, A vacancy will be filled within ten days after it occurs by the appointment of the man entitled to it, five days being allowed in which to apply for a position after it is advertised. ARTICLE VIII. Any employe accepting a position under Article VII, finding it is unsuitable, may resume his former position within ten days after he vacated the same. After the expir- ation of ten days, he will take his place on the extra list, but with his seniority rights intact. Any employe taking an agency under Arti- cle VII, finding it unsuitable, may, within ten days, take his place on the extra list, with seniority rights intact. ARTICLE IX. At offices where more than three telegra- phers are employed, exclusively for telegraph service, when service will permit, ten con- secutive hours, including meal hours, will constitute a day's work; meal hours being so arranged that one telegrapher will be on duty at all times. ARTICLE X. At offices where two telegraphers are em- ployed, twelve consecutive hours, including meal hour, will constitute a day's work. At offices where but one telegrapher is em- ployed, twelve consecutive hours, including meal hour, will constitute a day's work, the company reserving the right to arrange the hours to suit the service. When it is impos- sible to relieve a telegrapher for meal hour, overtime will be paid for meal hour. Where meal hour is allowed, relief for same will be given between the fifth and seventh hours after starting work, unless otherwise arranged by mutual local agree- ment. ARTICLE XL At offices where six-hour tricks are regu- larly established, employes will be allowed overtime after six hours' continuous service; at offices where eight-hour tricks are regu- larly established, overtime will be allowed after eight hours' continuous service; at offices where eight or nine hours optional tricks or regular nine-hour tricks are estab- lished, overtime will be allowed after nine hours' continuous service. At offices where ten -hour tricks or twelve- hour tricks are established, overtime will be allowed after ten hours, or twelve hours' continuous service, respectively, and will be paid for at the rate of thirty cents per hour, unless the pro rata rate is higher, when overtime will be paid for at the pro rata rates. In computing overtime, thirty minutes and less than sixty minutes will be considered an hour; less than thirty minutes will not be counted. Overtime will not be allowed unless over- time slips are mailed to superintendent's office within 48 hours from the time of serv- ice. Employes will be notified within five days when overtime is not allowed as per overtime slips, with reason for disallowance. ARTICLE XII. Employes summoned to service outside of regular hours after being excused by the train dispatcher or leaving the office for the day, will be allowed regular overtime rate, with minimum allowance of two hours' pay. ARTICLE XIII. Employes will not be required to attend pumping engines at points where there are other employes available for that duty. When so required the compensation will be fixed accordingly. ARTICLE XIV. Employes will not be required to attend switch lights at points where there are other employes available for that duty. When conditions require the above work to be done outside of regular working hours, the time required will be determined and over- time authorized as per Article XI. ARTICLE XV. Employes transferred to new locations by order of proper officials will receive pay for the necessary time lost in transferring and free transportation for themselves, dependent members of their families and household goods. When the force is reduced or offices are closed, either permanently or temporar- ily, employes so displaced may take any position that inerit, ability and seniority en- titles them to, except that agents are not to be displaced. ARTICLE XVI. Employes deadheading to working points by order of proper officials will receive pay for one-half the actual time consumed on trains in going and returning, the basis of compensation being the salary of the em- plo>'e relieved; thirty minutes and less than sixty minutes will be considered an hour. Less than thirty minutes will not be counted.- ARTICLE XVII. Employes attending court or other busi- ness for the company will be paid their regular rates of pay per day, and when called to leave home, necessary expenses will be paid. ARTICLE XVIII. Employes leaving the service of their de- partment to accept service in other depart- ments will forfeit their seniority after an absence of ninety days. ARTICLE XIX. Extra employes will receive the same com- pensation as the person they relieve.

ARTICLE II. (a) Promotion of telegrraphers shall ex- tend over each superintendent's division and will be governed by merit and ability.

In such cases the telegrapher making the transfer will take his place on the extra list, and will have the right to file into bul- letined positions as per clause (c) hereof.

Telegraphers will not be required to accept promotion, but do not forfeit their rights to the same, or any other position to which they may be entitled under seniority when a vacancy occurs. When a telegrapher accepts a transfer, and after a fair trial is found incapable, he will take his place on the extra list, retain- ing his seniority. (b) In case of a reduction in the number of telegraphers employed, the senior teleg- -raphers on their respective divisions will be retained in preference to telegraphers junior to them, and when a position shown in the schedule is abolished, the telegraphers so displaced will be given preference to the po- sition held by the junior permanently lo- cated telegrapher on the superintendent's di- vision, merit and ability being sufficient. (c) All vacancies and proposed appoint- ments to new positions will be advertised over the superintendent's division on which they occur by a "23" message within five days, and a telegrapher -shall have ten days from date of such message within which to file application.

Nothing in this clause is intended to pre- vent the closing of any position either tem- porarily or permanently should it become necessary at any time. (d) A telegrapher on leave of absence when a vacancy occurs will not be debarred from claiming the position and receiving the appointment upon resuming duty, if entitled to it. (e) A correct list of all telegraphers on each superintendent's division, showing tlieir seniority standing, will be kept on file in every chief train dispatcher's office, open to the inspection of all telegraphers con- cerned. A copy of such list corrected to date will be furnished the general chairman at the beginning of each year. ARTICLE in.

If blame- less, as charged, he will be paid his regular salary and be reinstated. Date of suspen- sion to begin from date relieved for investi- gation or within fifteen days from date of decision. If detained more than fifteen days awaiting investigation at the company's in- stance, he will be paid for time lost in ex- cess of fifteen days whether found guilty or not. If decision rendered is considered un- just, an appeal may be made verbally or in writing to higher officials. ARTICLE IV. There will be no discrimination against telegraphers for being members of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, and, when called on to serve on boards of adjustment, they will be relieved without unnecessary delay (such delay not to exceed ten days) for such purpose, and only on request of their chair- man. ARTICLE V. Telegraphers will be granted free trans- portation and leave of absence to attend their meetings; such free transportation will not extend beyond the next division adjoin- ing their superintendent's division, and leave of absence will not exceed two days, and will only be granted when it will not Interfere with the requirements of the traffic and Ihe service, and provided the company is not put to additional expense. ARTICLE VI. Telegraphers, upon applicjition, will, if possible, be furnished with certified copies of all service cards and letters of recom- mendation held by the company, and on leaving the service the original shall be re- turned and they shall also receive a letter stating term of service, capacity in which employed, and whether discharged or leav- ing of their own accord.

KBLLEY, Vice-President. RULINGS AND INTERPRETATIONS. ARTICLE I. Telephone operators in charge of switch- boards or who do not transmit train orders or messages are not to be considered telegraphers. ARTICLE II. Clause (a). The intention of the fifth liaragraph of this clause is to permit any telegrapher who accepts appointment to any officia) position in the company's service, or to a train dispatcher's position to retain his seniority in the ranks of telegraphers, to l)e exercised at any time that he may be reduced to a telegrapher's position, but not to be exercised while holding such other position. ARTICLE XV. Clause (a) oX this article provides for a ten -hour work day in the first paragraph and a nine-hour work day in the second paragraph. Overtime and extra pay for Sunday work should be based on the above working day. Clause (b). The intention of this clause is to allow telegraphers a full hour for meal, 316 Schedules and Wage Scales. and if relieved for such purpose at any time within the two-hour period beginning with the close of the fourth hour's service and ending with the close of the sixth hour, and given sixty consecutive minutes for his meal, overtime will not be claimed. Example: If the assigned hours of serv- ice are from 7:00 a. m. to 6:00 p. m., and a telegrapher is relieved for a meal be- tween 11:00 a. m. and 1:00 p. m., and al- lowed sixty consecutive minutes, the inten- tion has been fulfilled. If relieved at 12:30 p. m. and required to return at 1:00 p. m., one hour overtime will be paid. But if not required to return until 1:30 p. m., he will not be entitled to overtime. ARTICLE XVL Clause (b) provides that overtime will be paid for actual time worked, computed to the nearest five minutes, the rate per hour to be based on the salary named in the schedule of wages pro rated on a twenty- six day month, but where the salary is not in excess of $91.00 per month, the rate per hour will be thirty-five (35) cents. WTiere the salary is in excess of $91.00 per month, the rate of overtime will be ar- rived at by dividing the salary by twenty- six and the result by the number of hours in the working day of the position, as fol- lows: Salary $95.00, divided by 26 equals 3.653, which is the rate per day. 3.653 divided by 10 equals .365 or 36% cents per hour for ten-hour work day. "Where the minimum rate of thirty-five (35) cents applies, the rate for a five- minute period will be three (3) cents, and where the rate exceeds thirty- five (35) cents per hour, such rate divided by twelve (12) will give the rate for each five-minute period. ARTICLE XVIL The hours of service for Sunday will be the same as the assigned week day hours, and begin with the hour the day or first trick man goes on duty on Sunday morn- ing, and to end with the close of the last trick. If it be a continuously operated of- fice, the day would close as does a week day the following morning at the end of the night trick. For example, the hours of service for day mah are 7:00 a. m. to 7:00 p. m., and the night man from 7:00 p. m. to 7:00 a. m., and the day beginning at 7:00 a. m. In the first instance ends at 7:00 a. m. in the second instance, completing a continuous trick in each case of twelve (12) consecutive hours. AVhen a telegrapher is called for Sunday duty within these assigned week day hours. he will receive the rate for a call of thirty- five (35) cents, for which he must, If re- quired, perform one hour's service. When a telegrapher is called for duty on Sunday outside his assigned week day hours, he will receive the rate of fifty (50) cents for each call, which will, if necessary, cover one hour's service; if he be required longer than one hour, he will then be paid over- time as per clause (b) of Article XVI. In circumstances where telegraphers are lequired to remain close at hand all day Sunday on account of calls being spread over the whole day, they will be paid for a whole day, and where under the same cir- cumstances, they are obliged to remain close at hand for half a day, they will be paid half a day. That is to say, if a telegrapher is required to come on duty two or three times in the forenoon, and is free in the afternoon, he will be paid for the half day, while if he is required three or more times during the entire day, he is to be paid one day pro rated on regular salary. The rate for a call on Sunday is to apply only in cases where a full day is not worked, but in cases where regular Sunday work is performed, the same as a regular week day, the pay for such work will be based pro rata on schedule salary and twenty-six days per month. It is not the intention that extra pay for Sunday be allowed to exclusive agents who may come around to their stations on Sun- day, except when they are called by proper authority, or have regularly assigned Sun- day hours. ARTICLE XIX. Regular relief agents' positions are shown in the wage scale and are to be bulletined. It is understood that when the number of I'egular relief agents employed on any divi- sion is not sufficient to meet the require- ments, that extra relief agents will be ap- pointed in accordance with the rule and at times of the year when all the regular relief agents may not be needed, a tem- porary reduction may be made, but in most cases it is expected that work will be pro- vided for them. The headquarters of relief agents will be named by the officer in charge of them, and they will be advised of same. In case a relief agent holds a permanent position on the line, such place will be considered as his headquarters. , The foregoing rules, interpetations and lates of pay have been agreed to, and are to remain in effect subject to thirty (30) days' notice given by either party desiring a change. HOWARD G. KELLEY, Vice-President. Schedules and Wage Scales. 317 Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1917.) The following rules and wages will govern rhe telegraphers on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway: When additional telegraphers' positions are created, compensation will be fixed in conformity with that for positions of the same class as shown by this schedule. ARTICLE I. All employes assigned by the proper authority to railway telegraph or railway telephone service of any character or dura- tion, also the station agents incorporated in the accompanying schedule of wages, will l)e considered telegraphers within the mean- ing of this schedule, excepting the statiop agents at the following places, viz.: Win- nipeg, Portage la Prairie, Rivers, Melville, ^Yatrous, Saskatoon, Biggar, Wainwright, Edmonton, Bdson, Jasper, McBride, Prince George, Endako, Smithers, Pacific, Prince Rupert, Regina, Moose Jaw and Calgary; but it is tmderstood that any telegrapher in the employ of the company shall be entitled to apply and eligible for appointment at these stations whenever vacant if possessing the necessary qualifications. ARTICLE II. .(a) The right of promotion of telegra- phers, except train dispatchers, will extend over each superintendent's district, and will be governed by merit and ability; where these are sufficient the senior telegrapher will be given preference; superintendent to be the judge; provided, that telegraphers, except train dispatchers, of not less than two years' service will on application be transferred from one superintendent's dis- trict to another within thirty days of such application, and when so transferred will be allowed seniority on new district to the extent of three-fourths of their length of service. In such case the telegrapher mak- ing the transfer will take his place on the extra list, and will have "the right to file into bulletined positions as per clause (c) hereof. A telegrapher applying for a trans- fer will be given a transfer certificate, showing his length of service, and the capacity in which he has been employed, which will be his authority for claiming his seniority on the district to which he is transferring. Transfer certificates will not be valid un- less filed with the superintendent of the district to which transfer is being made within thirty days from the date of issue. (b) A telegrapher's seniority will date from the time he last entered the service as a telegrapher. (c) All vacancies and permanent appoint- ments, including the stations named in Article I, and excepted therefrom, will be immediately bulletined by a "23" message over the superintendent's district. Wlien vacancies in jKDsitions are bulletined, the bulletin will state the rate of compensation. Applications for vacancies must be made within tep days from the date of bulletin. A telegrapher declining to accept promo- tion in any instance does not forfeit his rights to the same or any other position he may be entitled to under seniority when a vacancy occurs. A telegrapher on leave of absence when a vacancy occurs will not be debarred from claiming position and re- ceiving appointment on resuming duty, if entitled to it. A vacancy will be filled within thirty days after it occurs by the appointment of the man entitled to it. When a vacancy occurs the superintendent will fill the same by ap- pointing the senior inan who, in his opinion is entitled to the position, but that will not prevent any telegrapher senior to the man so appointed claiming his rights under clause (a) hereof to the position, provided he files his protest within ten days after the appointment has been bulletined as above. (d) Telegraphers in the employ will be given preference in filling vacancies or open- ings on extension or new lines, their appli- cations to be endorsed by the superintend- ent of the district on which applicant is employed. (e) In case of reduction in the number of telegraphers employed, the senior telegra- phers on their respective superintendent's district will be retained, in preference to telegraphers junior to them, merit and ability been sufficient. (f) A complete list of all telegralphers on each superintendent's district showing their standing, will be kept on file in the respec- tive train dispatching offices, open to in- spection by all telegraphers concerned. This list will be subject to correction on proper representation from any telegrapher, and a copy of it up to date will be furnished the general chairman at the beginning of each year. (g) Telegraphers will have the preference to any position incorporated in the wage schedule, and any telegrapher's position sub- sequently added in accordance with the preamble, and also to any new telegrapher's positions created by the absorption of other lines, or the construction of new lines, when vacancies occur in such positions. (h) Telegraphers promoted to official posi- tions with the company will retain their seniority according to the class from which promoted. But the right to return to a telegrapher's position shall be subject to the approval of the superintendent. (i) The right of promotion of train dis- • patchers will extend over each general su- perintendent's district, and will be governed by merit and ability. These being sufficient, the senior train dispatcher will have the preference. The order of promotion of train dispatch- ers will be from senior relieving to trick dispatcher. The seniority of a train dis- patcher will date from the time he was flr.st appointed a trick dispatcher. A train dispatcher vidll retain his seniority standing in the ranks of agents and operators. 318 Schedules and Wage Scales. Relieving train dispatchers will be ap- pointed from their respective superintend- ent's district, if available, in accordance with clause (c) of this article, and will be allowed sufficient time, without pay, to learn the work of train dispatching under a regular trick dispatcher, such time not to exceed two weeks, and they wiil remain on such district until they have received promo- tion to a steady trick, which may be claimed at any office at which a vacancy occurs. All vacancies and permanent appointments in dispatchers' positions, or new dispatchers' positions created, will be immediately ad- vertised over the general superintendent's district. Application must be made within ten days from date of bulletin and vacancy filled within thirty days after it occurs, by the appointment of the dispatcher entitled to it. If a train dispatcher's position is abolished, he will be entitled to the position held by the junior permanently located dis- patcher. ARTICLE in. No telegrapher shall be suspended, except for investigation, or discharged until his case has been investigated, and he has been proven guilty of the offence charged; the decision in such case to be arrived at within ten days of the date of suspension. If a telegrapher be found blameless, he will be reinstated and paid at schedule wages for the time lost, and will be reimbursed reason- able expenses if away from home in such case. If detained more than ten days at company's instance awaiting decision, he will be paid schedule wages for all time lost in excess of ten days, regardless of decision reached. " A telegrapher may have the as- sistance of another telegrapher during the investigation, should he so desire. A writ- ten statement setting forth the evidence taken, and result of investigation if deter- mined against the telegrapher, will be fur- nished by the company to the local board of adjustment, on written consent of the telegrapher or telegraphers affected. ARTICLE IV. Lack of facilities and conveniences will be taken into consideration in locating teleg- raphers, but only when this can be done without infringing on the rights of their seniors in the service. ARTICLE V. Telegraphers serving on boards of adjust- ment representing tel-egraphers will be re- lieved without unnecessary delay, not to exceed fifteen days, and will be furnished free transportation for such purposes. ARTICLE VL Telegraphers will be granted free trans- portation and leave of absence to attend their meetings, but such free transportation will not extend over three hundred miles, and leave of absence will not exceed two days, and will only be granted when it will not interfere with the service, and when the company will not be put to any expense thereby. ARTICLE VIL When a telegrapher is transferred by or- der of the proper officer, he will suffer no loss of wages in consequence, j and will be allowed reasonable time, not to exceed six days, without pay, to arrange shipment of household goods. ARTICLE VIII. Telegraphers attending courts or investi- gations at company's instance will be al- lowed expenses, not to exceed $2.00 per day when away from home, and schedule wages in addition; witness fees and mileage to be a.^signed to the company. ARTICLE IX. Telegraphers will not be required to teach telegraphy, nor will a telegrapher teach telegraphy on the company's premises with- , out the permission of superintendent. ARTICLE X. Telegraphers required to work at wrecks, washouts, and slides during inclement weather will, when possible, be provided with shelter, and be paid necessary ex- penses when away from home. ARTICLE XI. A telegrapher securing employment with the company, will, as soon as practicable, have returned to him all service cards and letters of recommendation which have been taken up by the company, except any pre- viously issued by the company. ARTICLE XII. A telegrapher leaving the service of the company will, on written request, be fur- nished with a written statement to the proper officer, stating term or terms of service, capacities in which employed, and whether discharged or leaving on his own accord. If discharged, cause of dismissal will be stated. If detained more than ten days awaiting such statement, he will be paid scheduled wages for all time in excess of ten days. Unless otherwise requested, this statement will be mailed to the teleg- rapher at the place of last employment. ARTICLE XIIL Telegraphers will be exempt from shovel- ing snow, sifting coal, ashes, handling gov- ernment mail and cutting or piling wood. ARTICLE XIV. At stations where the dwelling is intended for the use of the agent, he will be allowed the exclusive use thereof, unless he elects to reside elsewhere. The company will forego rent wliich has been previously charged telegraphers for use of the station building, on the distinct understanding that stations occupied by telegraphers must be kept clean without any extra expense to the company. A telegrapher occupying the company's dwelling, who is dismissed from the serv- ice, will be allowed to remain in dwefiing until he has been paid all moneys due him by the company. The company will keep its dwelling in good repair. Occupants will be required to keep dwellings and surround- ings clean, and will pay for necessary re- pairs other than those due to ordinary wear ■ and tear. Schedules and Wage Scales. 319 The company shall provide comfortable and satisfactory accommodation at all sta- tions where a telegrapher is employed, with all reasonable dispatch, for his exclusive use. ARTICLE XV. Telegraphers, except dispatchers, required to work on Sunday, will be paid extra pro rates on schedule salary for such service, based on twenty-six days per month, less than thirty minutes not to count; thirty minutes or over to count one hour; with a minimum compensation of 30 cents for each call, for each one hour's service shall, if required, be rendered. Telegraphers shall be required to handle commercial messages on Sunday only dur- ing hours required for railway service, ex- cept on agreement. Telegraphers required for Sunday duty, other than attendance on regular passenger trains, will be notified the previous day, when possible, and will be allowed 50 cents a call on Sunday when required to meet a regular passenger train due within their assigned hours for week-day service. Regular trick dispatchers will be allowed two days off duty each month (preferably Sundays), or will receive in lieu thereof extra compensation pro rata based on twenty-six days per month. ARTICLE XVT. If telegraphers are required to attend switch or semaphore lamps they will re- ceive $4.00 per month for six or less such lamps, and 50 cents per month for each addi- tional switch or semaphore lamp. Nothing in this article will relieve telegraphers from their responsibilities under the rules. Telegraphers will keep train order signal lamps in good condition, and lighted when required, without extra compensation. ARTICLE XVII. Telegraphers who attend pumping en- gines or windmills will be paid $10.00 per month for attending to pumping engines and windmills, and $5.00 per month for at- tending to windmills only. ARTICLE XVIII. A telegrapher required to leave his perma- nent location to do relief work temporarily will, without change in salary, be allowed all necessary expenses on production of receipts. Other telegraphers doing relief work, ex- cept regular relieving telegraphers, will be paid the same wages, without expenses, as the telegraphers they relieve, provided the wages are not less than their own. ARTICLE XIX. (a) Telegraphers handling commercial telegraph business will be paid 10 per cent on all business to and from offices reached by the Grand Trunk Pacific Telegraph Com- p.i.ny's lines and 5 per cent on all business with connecting lines checked direct. (b) The income accruing to a station from telegraph commissions will be equitably di- vided between telegraphers performing the service, and the agent will be entitled to one- third the total amount. (c> Telegraphers handling Canadian ex- press business will be paid the following commissions: Offices in Alberta and British Columbia, S^ per cent; on through business, 214 P«r cent; offices in Manitoba and Sas- katchewan, 9 per cent; on through business, 2% per cent. ARTICLE XX. (a) At offices where two or less teleg- raphers are employed, eleven consecutive hours, including meal hour, shall constitute a day's work. At offices where more than two operators are employed, not more than ten consecutive hours' service, including meal hour, or at the company's option, e'ght consecutive hours, without meal hour, will constitute a day's work. Except, in cases of emergency, telegraphers will be allowed eight hours' consecutive rest per day. The hours of duty of all agents included in this schedule will commence betveen 6:00 a. m. and 8:30 a. m. (b) Telegraphers working nine hours or more will be allowed sixty consecutive min- utes for a meal, either between 7:00 a. m. and 9:00 a. m., or 12:00 and 2:30 p. m., or 5:00 p. m. and 7:00 p. m., or between mid- night and 2:30 a. m., or receive in lieu thereof one hour overtime; provided that a day telegrapher working eleven hours will be allowed meal hour between 12:00 noon and 2:30 p. m.

All employes performing the duties of a telegrapher, except train dispatchers, whether termed operator, agent and oper- ator, or otherwise, also such other employes as are specified in this schedule, will be con- sidered telegraphers within the meaning of these articles. ARTICLE II. When a new position requiring a telegra- pher is created, these rules and regulations will apply and in fixing the compensation, similar positions, responsibility and wages will be considered. When commissions accruing to any posi- tion are materially reduced or entirely re- moved, prompt adjustment will be made. ARTICLE III. Telegraphers will be regarded as in line for promotion and advancement, depending on faithful, intelligent and courteous dis- charge of duty and capacity for greater responsibility. Where these are sufficient, seniority will govern. ARTICLE IV. In case of reduction in force, the youngest assigned telegrapher shall be reduced first. When re-employing such men, seniority shall govern, subject tO; the provision of Article III. ARTICLE V. Vacancies will be bulletined within five days to employes and no position filled per- manently within ten days after the issuance of bulletin, but shall be filled within thirty days. These bulletins are to show salary, average express and Western Union com- mission. (Note. — Local chairman of telegra- phers to be notified of all applicants and the assignment. ) When transferred and after a fair trial telegraphers are found to be incapable, they shall be assigned to the extra list, retaining their seniority. ARTICLE VI. Seniority will be effective only when va- cancies occur or new positions are created, and shall be effective from the date when employe last entered the service. A telegrapher shall not be eligible to re- turn to a position vacated by him until same shall have been advertised a second time, unless there are no other applicants. Telegraphers declining promotion do not forfeit seniority rights to this or any other position when a vacancy occurs. Telegraphers leaving the service forfeit all seniority rights and shall be re-employed only as new men. Trading positions shall not be permitted. ARTICLE VTI. Seniority lists shall be prepared and fur- nished to all employes by the superintendent of transportation semi-annually. ARTICLE VIII. Telegraphers shall not be disciplined or discharged, except for a Just cause, and shall be given a fair and irnpartial hearing as soon as practical, if requested. They shall be entitled to have present a representa- tive in the employ of the company and shall be notified of results of the investigation promptly, When a telegrapher has been disciplined or discharged and upon investigation it is found that he was not at fault, he shall re- ceive full pay for the time lost on said ac- C(punt, and be reinstated with all seniority rights. In the event a grievance cannot be satisfactorily adjusted with the superintend- ent of transportation, the telegrapher shall have the right to appeal to higher officers in their regular order. ARTICLE IX. At offices where but one ttlegrapher is employed, ten consecutive hours with one hour off for meal sliaii constitute a day's work. Telegraphers whose hours are more than nine hours shall be allowed sixty con- secutive minutes between 11:00 and 2:00 o'clock, day and night, for meals. When necessary to curtail this time to less than sixty minutes, one hour overtime will be allowed. At offices where two or more teleg- raphers are employed, nine consecutive hours, including the meal hour, shall consti- tute ' a day's work. ARTICLE X. Telegraphers required to perform service outside of their regular assigned hour^, shall receive overtime at the rate of 35 cents per hour; thirty minutes or less shall not be counted; more than thirty minutes shall be counted one hour. Telegraphers called or Instructed to come on duty before or after their regular as- signed hours shall be allowed fifty (50) cents for the first hour or any part thereof and overtime thereafter.

Roanoke, Va., May 1st, 1917. Effective May 1st, 1917, the following rates of pay and regulations for telegraphers will govern : When additional telegraph positions are created, compensation will be fixed in con- formity with positions of the same class. No reduction from present raets of pay nor increase of hours will be made, except when changed conditions make it neces- sary, and ten (10) days' notice will be given telegraphers affected. ARTICLE r. Employes required to perform telegraph service of any character or duration, agent- telegraphers, telephoners, agent-telephoners, whose duties Include the handling of train orders or the blocking of trains by tele- phone, and other employes included in this schedule of wages, will be considered telegraphers within the meaning of this agreement, irrespective of title by which designated or character of service performed. A-RTICLE II. Telegraphers are in line of promotion, their advancement depending upon faith- ful discharge of duty and their capacity for increased respori.<^ibility. When ability and character permit, seniority will have preference. The proper official of the rail- way company will determine the fitness of telegraphers for advancement. When a vacancy occurs, or a new posi- tion is created, on a superintendent's divi- 472 Schedules and Wage Scales. sion. telegraphers will be notified, announc- ing location and rate of pay, and they shall make application for the position within ten (10> days after notification, and such position will be permanently filled at the expiration of twenty (20) days. A telegrapher shall not be eligible to a position vacated by him until same shall have been advertised the second time, un- less there are no other applicants. Seniority will be affected when vacancies occur, new positions are created, or a posi- tion abolished. When a position is abol- ished, the telegrapher affected may displace any junior telegrapher who has not been in the service five (5) yeafs, or go on the extra list, retaining his seniority. In the event there are no telegraphers in service younger than five (5) years, the youngest telegrapher may be displaced. The trading of positions will not be per- mitted. Employes from the telegraph service filling the position of cashier, ticket seller, or baggage agent, will retain their seniority rights, which may be asserted only by filing application for vacancies or new positions. If a telegrapher assigned to a position becomes incapacitated or unable, to fill the position, he will be assigned to the extra list and will retain his seniority. Seniority lists of telegraphers will be furnished by the superintendent to an em- ploye designated by the telegraphers in January and July of each year. ARTICLE III. All vacancies occurring in division offices, except the first, second and third tricks, will be advertised. When a telegrapher is as- signed to the fourth trick, he will be in line of promotion to the third trick when vacant, advancing to the first trick as vacancies occur, and when competent will be entitled to the first vacancy in the dis- patching force. In reduction of force in division offices, the men will be set back in regular order through the first to the last trick, respec- tively. This includes dispatcher, but does not affect managers of division offices. Telegraphers in general office, Roanoke, Virginia, will be advanced as vacancies occur, and only the last trick advertised. The senior man in office will be given preference in the assignment of hours as vacancies occur, when practicable, but this is not to apply to temporary vacancies. In arranging temporary hours made vacant by absence of regular men, Sundays or holi- days, preference will be given the oldest men so far as practicable, the same to be determined by the manager. In case of re- duction of force, they will be set back in the same order in which they entered the office, retaining seniority on the divi- sion from which drawn. "Vacancies in this office will be advertised on all divisions. ARTICLE IV. When a telegrapher is relieved for a period of one week or more, the next rank- ing telegrapher in the office affected, if competent and sufficiently bonded, will be entitled to fill the position during such absence, but will not be entitled to over- time for doubling through on this account. This does not apply to the relief of agents, except when the service of a regular relief agent is not available. » When an extra telegrapher relieves a regular telegrapher, he will fill the posi- tion until the regular telegrapher resumes duty, or the position is advertised and filled. Seniority will apply to extra men as far as practica-ble in the assignment of such work on their respective divisions. ARTICLE V. Trick train dispatchers will be in line of promotion, their seniority to date from the time actual duty as a train dispatcher begins. The oldest dispatcher in the serv- ice will be given preference in the assign- ment of tricks on his superintendent's divi- sion as vacancies occur, or when forces are reduced. ARTICLE VI. Eight (S> consecutive hours, with neces- sary time for making transfers, will con- .stitute a day's work for trick train dis- patchers. When trick train dispatchers are re- quired to go over their respective district or attend court in behalf of the company, they will receive regular pay and actual expenses. ARTICLE VII. At offices where two or three tricks are worked, eight (8) consecutive hours and time to make transfer will constitute a day's work. At offices where more than three tricks are worked, eight (8) hoiws will constitute a day's work, the manager of said office to determine the hours. Should a trick be split, it shall be done but once, and then at meal hour, and not to exceed one hour. At offices where one trick is worked, nine (9> consecutive hours or less, including one hour for meals, will constitute a day's work. Telegraphers working more than eight (8) hours will be granted not less than one hour for meals between 6:00 a. m. and 9:00 a. m., 11:00 a. m. and 2:00 p. m., 5:00 p. m. and 8:00 p. m., and 11:00 p. m. and 2:00 a. m. When this cannot be given, one hour overtime will be allowed. When telegraphers are required to re- main on duty longer than their regular hours, they will be paid overtime until re- lieved. When telegraphers are required to re- turn after the expiration of regular hours, they will remain on duty until finally re- lieved, and will be paid 65 cents for. the first hour or less, and regular overtime rates thereafter. ARTICLE VIII. Overtime will be paid at the rate of 40 cents per hour, except where the regular rate of pay exceeds the overtime rate, in which case overtime will be paid pro rata. In computing overtime, thirty (30) minute."? or less will not be counted; thirty-one (31) minutes to sixty (60) minutes will be counted one hour, and so on. Telegraphers will be furnished with proper blanks for reporting overtime. Overtime must be reported within forty-eight (48) hours. Schedules and Wage Scales. 473 ARTICLE IX. All telegraphers will be excused from Sunday duty so far as possible, and no deduction shall be made from their pay on that account. ARTICLE X. Telegraphers required to perform Sun- day service and who have been assigned to a regular position for a period of two years or more, will be allowed fifteen (15) days' leave of absence each year without loss of pay. Telegraphers entitled to vacation as above, and who have been put back on extra list through no fault of their own, will continue to receive their vacation, provided they ac- cept a regular position when "offered.

Telegraphers will not be disciplined or discharged from the service of the company without just cause and will be given a prompt hearing (within five [5] days if prac- ticable) before the investigation committee as now constituted, and they will be entitled to a representative of the telegraphers in the employ of the company. The superintendent will be present at such investigation when- ever practicable. When a telegrapher has been disciplined or discharged, and upon investigation has been found not responsible, he will receive pay for time lost on said account. In the event a grievance cannot be satisfactorily adjusted with the superin- tendent such telegrapher will have a right of appeal to higher ofiicials, up to and in- cluding the general manager.

H. SCHLEYER, Receivers The following regulations and wage scale will govern station employes upon these lines (above named), effective March 1st, 1914: Telegraphers held on duty in the per- formance of any service required by the company longer than the number of hours constituting a day's work will be allowed overtime therefor. Overtime shall be com- puted pro rata on stated salary, but in no case less than 35 cents per hour. Telegra- phers called to service or directed to return to office for any reason outside of work hours, shall receive 50 cents for the call or return and first hour's service, and regu- lar overtime thereafter; except when re- quired for such service within one hour either before or after regular hours, they shall receive 35 cents for same and first hour's service and regular overtime there- after. Overtime tickets will be rendered for the actual time worked as above, within forty-eight hours from the time service is performed. If, for any reason, such over- time is not allowed, telegrapher will be so advised w^ithin five days, stating reason. When ordered to attend court, telegra- phers will be allowed for time lost, and. If away from home station, will be allowed necessary expenses, the company being en- titled to their mileage and witness fees. Telegraphers performing service at wrecks, washouts, or other' temporary offices, will receive $2.00 per day and necessary ex- penses and 35 cents per hour overtime. When telegraphers are called for such serv- ice while on duty, the above compensation will cover all regular duties performed on the same day. Regularly assigned telegraphers required to leave their home stations to do relief work, shall, if the rate of pay for that serv- ice is higher than his regular rate, re- ceive the higher rate, and in any event shall suffer no loss in wages, and in addi- tion .shall receive 50 cents per day for expenses. If called for such service while on duty the pay for that day's work shall be at the higher rate. When an employe transfers from oite sta- tion to another station on these lines with the authority of proper official, he will re- ceive free transportation for himself, family and household goods, if not prohibited by law. To obtain promotion, intelligent and cour- teous discharge of duty and capacity for greater responsibility will govern. When these are sufficient, telegrraphers longest in continuous service will liave preference in filling of vacancies and newly created posi- tions. In event a telegrapher feels he has been discriminated against he shall have the right to appeal the case to the assistant superintendent. When vacancies occur or new positions are created, telegraphers will be notified within five days by bulletin to be posted in offices. Telegraphers will be given five days from date of such notice in which to make application for such positions. Telegraphers will not TDe suspended, given demerit marks or dismissed from the com- pany's service, without just cause. In case of suspension or dismissal, if any teleg- rapher thinks his sentence unjust, he will have the right, within ten days, to refer his case by written statement to assistant superintendent. Within ten days of the re- ceipt of the notice his case shall have a thorough investigation by the proper officer of the company, at which time he may be present, if he so desires, and also be repre- sented by any disinterested employe of his choice. In case he is not satisfied with the result of such investigation, he shall have the right to appeal to the general manager. In case of intoxication or insubordination, dis- mis.«al will follow without hearing, as above provided for. In case suspension or dis- missal is found to be xmjust, he will be reinstated and paid for full time lost. Employes leaving the service of the com- pany will receive a clearance card, stating Schedules and Wage Scales, 479 term of service, capacity in which employed, and whether leaving the service voluntarily or otherwise. If discharged, cause of dis- missal will be shown. So far as the business will permit, teleg- raphers will be excused Sundays without re- duction of pay. At stations where the agent, is also telegrapher and where no other teleg- raphers are employed, he will be excused from service on Sunday, except that he will be required to attend passenger trains that receive and discharge passengers or mail at his station, unless other force at that sta- tion can be so arranged as to partly or en- tirely relieve him from meeting passenger trains on Sunday. Where a station that has been closed is reopened, the salary will be the same as pro- vided in schedule at time of closing. When telegraphers are added to the force the sal- ary paid will not be less than the lowest salary shown in wage scale in that office if two or more telegraphers are already em- ployed there, except agent telegrapher in opening new stations. Any telegrapher feeling himself competent to handle agencies other than those enu- inerated in this schedule is invited as well as other employes, to make application for vacancies at those stations.

Telegraphers' seniority will date from the time they actually begin to work; that is, from the time they begin to draw pay on their respective divisions, except ,that should there be two or more telegrapliers employed on the same day^^their respective scnjority rights will be decided at the time by the chief dispatcher, based on the cir- cumstances in connection with their em- ployment, and the telegraphers concerned advised. RULE 2-b. In case where a telegrapher is assigned to other duties temporarily, or is granted a leave of absence, the position thus left will not be considered vacant and will not Schedules and Wage ScAiiEs. 493 be bulletined, but will continue to belong to the regular telegrapher during his tem- porary- assignment or leave of absence and his position will be filled from the extra list. In such cases there will be no ob- jection to advancing temporarily the other telegraphers at that office. For example, the first trick telegrapher at Allard is needed temporarily as a dispatcher or an exclusive agent, or he is granted a leave ojf absence; -in either case the first trick at Allard will not be considered vacant, but the second trick telegrapher may, at the discretion of the chief dispatcher, be ad- vanced to the first trick, the third trick advanced to the second trick and the extra telegrapher required to work the third trick until the regular telegrapher returns. Telegi-aphers returning from temporary as- signments or leaves of absence will resume their regular positions. Unless telegraphers who are temporarily promoted to positions outside of the schedule return to their former positions within six (6) months, and those who are granted leaves of absence return within three (3) months, as provided in the rules, their positions will be con- sidered vacant and will be bulletined in the regular manner. RUUS 2-f-l. When issuing bulletins, they will be num- bered consecutively, commencing with No. 1 on the first of each year, and each bul- letin will state the assignment that was m.ade on the previous bulletin. For example: Bulletin No. 1. There is a vacancy in the position of third trick telegrapher at Allard. Tele.g- raphers desiring this position will make application in writing to this office within seven (7) days. (Chief Dispatcher.) Bulletin No. 2. There is a vacancy in the position of third trick telegrapher at Terry. Teleg- raphers desiring this position will make application in writing to this office within seven (7) days. Bulletin No. 1, third trick at Allard, assigned to J. C. Smith. (Chief Dispatcher.) RULE 2-f-l AND k. When telegraph offices are opened tem- porarily, due to the opening of gravel pits, ice fields, temporary increase in business, or other causes, the provisions in the rules will not apply, unless such offices are main- tained .for a period of more than three (3) months, when the positions will be bulle- tined. RULE 2-f-2. In the offices listed in Rule 2, clause (e), •the hours will be specified for all tricks, the tricks numbered, and, if any changes are made in the hours of the tricks, the posi- tions so changed will be considered closed and the new assignments will be considered new positions and will be bulletined only in the office where such changes occur. Telegraphers whose hours are changed, or positions discontinued, will have the right to exercise their seniority only in the office where located and only the youngest man, when displaced, will have the right to exer- cise his seniority in an office other than the one in which he is located. It is under- stood that should ^^y telegrapher be dis- placed through the operation of the senior- ity rights of a telegrapher from another re- lay office, the telegrapher displaced, or other telegraphers that may be displaced, will have the right to exercise their senior- ity rights in any relay office. RULE 2-X-Q AND 7. Telegraphers, except in relay offices, who have been promoted to positions outside the schedule or who are granted leaves of ab- sonce must leave their addresses with the chief dispatcher, and the chief dispatcher will, as far as possible, forward bulletins to telegraphers who are away, and such telegraphers will exercise their rights if they so desire, the same as if they were in regular service. Telegraphers in relay offices who have been promoted to positions outside the schedule, or who are granted leaves of absence, will leave their addresses with both the manager of the office in which they are employed and the superin- tendent of telegraph. In cases, however, where the telegraphers cannot be reached, this will not prevent them from exercising their rights after they return to service. RULE 5. 1. Telegraphers in main line terminal yards will not be required to weigh cars, except that in emergencies such duties may be required oi telegraphers temporarily. 2. Telegraphers in main line terminal yards will not be required to card cars, look after ice boxes and heaters in refrig- erator cars and check yards. RULE 7-a. In case the arriving time of a train as shown on the time card is within the first twenty-nine (29) minutes after the teleg- rapher's regular assigned hours, the teleg- rapher will be paid overtime if he ia re- quired to meet the train. In case a train is scheduled to arrive within the teleg- rapher's assigned hours and is late, over- time will be paid as provided in the rules, less than thirty (30) minutes being neg- lected and thirty (30) minutes and less than one hour being considered an hour. RULE 8-b. It is understood that in no case will telegraphers be allowed to waive the one dollar ($1.00) per day extra when entitled to this extra compensation. RULE 9. "V^Tien offices are closed and positions dis- continued, the company will pay for the time lost in making the transfers necessary on account of the telegraphers exercising their seniority rights and electing to take positions held by telegraphers their juniors in service. This ruling will apply to all telegraphers affected by the discontinuance of a position. Any transfers made for the accommodation of the telegraphers will, ac- cording to the present rule, be made with- out expense to the company. 494 Schedules and Wage Scales. Miscellaneous Rulings. 1. In every instance dispatchers will en- deavor to plan train movements to enable them to issue orders to train crews at open telegraph offices. Trainmen will not be re- quired to take orders over the telephone except in case of necessity to avoid unrea- sonable delay that could not be anticipated by dispatcher. Where telegraphers are on duty any portion of the day or night, train and engine men will be required to call such telegraphers, if available, for emergency service. 2. It is understood that the company agrees to withhold its consent to the prac- tice of trading of tricke except temporarily in cases of emergencies. 3. Where the handling of United States mail becomes burdensome to a telegrapher, he may take the matter up with the proper official and a prompt investigation will be held at that station, at which the telegrapher may have a co- employe of his choice pres- ent, and if the complaint is well founded relief will be afforded.

For the Southern Pacific Company, (Pacific System) : R. McINTYRE, Asst. to Vice-Pres. and Gen. Manager. E. L. KING, Superintendent of Telegraph. For the Order of Railroad Telegraphers: T. T. CULL, General Chairman. P. E. WALTERS, •W. C. WATSON, J. E. HANLON, E. L. CARTT, General Committee. INTERPRETATION OP RULES. f— a. This rule not to apply to stations that are closed, except for caretaker who does not make reports. V— a. In computing overtime for additional hour, Section (j). Article V to apply. 5— h. Telegraphers who have worked eight (8) consecutive hours without a meal, if re- quired to continue on duty, will be given double time for the ninth hour and pro rata oveitime for additional hours worked after the ninth hour. If a telegi-apher has worked but eight (8) hours and nineteen (19) min- utes, the nineteen (19) minutes would not constitute ap hour's overtime. If worked twenty (20) minutes or over, to be figured the same as though he worked the full hour. Telegrapher released at the expiration of eight (8) hours' consecutive service with instructions to return after taking his meal hour or if called to return after completing his eight (8) consecutive hour trick will be allowed a special call for the first hour worked. V— i. Telegrapher brought on duty less than thirty (30) minutes prior to arrival time of any passenger train they are required to work, will be paid a special call therefor. Under this section, if a telegrapher's hours began between 6:00 a. m. and 8:00 a. m., and for the company's convenience, in order to continue him on duty later in the after- noon, he were brought on at 6:15 a. m. to meet a passenger train due at 6:30 a. m., giving him but fifteen minutes to perform the various duties necessary before the ar- rival of such train, he would receive a special call. To avoid a special call he should be brought on at 6:00 a. m. or thirty (30) min- utes prior to the arrival of the train. V— k. Sunday hours may be regularly assigned within the week-day assignment, that is, assigned in advance. For illustration: if a telegrapher is only required on duty four (4) hours on Sunday and those hours can be regularly assigned, or if he is only required on duty two (2) hours on Sunday and those hours can be regularly assigned, he will receive overtime pro rata for such actual hours worked. If he is only assigned, how- ever, to one hour's service on Sunday, the minimum he would receive would be one special call. If telegrapher is assigned on Sunday, the same hours he worked on week days, he is paid one day therefor. A teleg- rapher may be called for service as many times as desired on Sunday, provided, a special call is paid for each time called. If it is only desired to have him meet one train in the morning and one in the afternoon, he would receive two (2) calls for Sunday service. VIII— a. It is agreed that, when telegraphers are required to handle express at stations where rate of express commissions has been re- duced by the Wells Fargo Co. since 1906, former express commission rate as of 1906 will be re-established, or the difference be- tween former rate and present rate made up by the Southern Pacific Company, on and after the adoption of this contract. IX— h. This does not relieve telegraphers of neces- sity for providing themselves with standard watch. It merely relieves telegraphers, at point where standard clock is maintained in the office where they work, from reporting to the watch inspector for watch inspection. Should such telegrapher be assigned to an- other position and no standard clock is pro- vided, he would come under the regular watch inspection rules. XVII— b. This is not intended to cover personal record files or other private correspondence relative to any telegrapher. It refers to the Brown System of discipline record only. XIX— e. To reduce force at stations, last position estabhshed would be abolished first. Hours of remaining tricks to be arranged to cover necessary hours' service. When changes in hours exceed five (5) hours on any position, they will be considered new positions, and bulletined. XXI— a. Sunday and hoHday hours, if assigned, will be within the week-day period. This refers to assignments of hours on those days, ex- cept as provided for in Article VI. Assigned hours are to be hours assigned for duty on Sundays and recognized holidays within the period of week-day service with a minimum of one special call. 582 Schedules and Wage Scales.

Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway (EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 1916.) The following rules and wages will govern the telegraphers on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway. When additional telegraphers' positions are created, compensation will be fixed in conformity with that for position of the same class as shown by this schedule. ARTICLE I. All employes assigned by proper authority to railway telegraph or telephone service of any character or duration, and also the station agehts incorporated in the accom- panying schedule of wages, and linemen, will be considered as telegraphers within the meaning of this, schedule, and are so called herein. ARTICLE II. (a) The right of promotion of telegra- phers will extend over the entire system, and will be governed by merit, fitness and ability; where these are sufficient, the senior telegrapher will be given the prefei'ence. (b) A telegrapher's seniority will date from the time he last entered the service as a telegrapher. The seniority of a teleg- rapher employed on lines under construc- tion, or absorbed by the coinmission, will date from his last appointment as a teleg- rapher on such lines. When newly con- structed lines are taken over by the oper- ating department, all telegraphers' posi- tions will be considered vacant, and any telegrapher in line of promotion to them will have fifteen days within which to make application for the same. (c) All vacancies and permanent ap- pointments will be immediately advertised by "23" message over the system. .When' vacancies in positions not shown in the accompanying schedule of wages are bulle- tined, the bulletin will state rate of com- pensation. Applications for vacancies must be made within ten days from date of bul- letin. A telegrapher declining to accept promo- tion in any instance does not forfeit his rights to the same or any other position he may be entitled to under seniority when a vacancy occurs. A telegrapher on leave of absence when a vacancy occurs will not be debarred from clairriing position and re- ceiving the appointment on resuming duty, if entitled to it. A vacancy will be filled within thirty days after it occurs by the appointment of the man entitled to it. When a vacancy occurs the superintendent of traffic will fill the same by appointing the senior man, who, as per clause (a) hereof, is entitled to the position, but this will not prevent any telegrapher senior to the man so appointed claiming his rights under clause (a) hereof to the position, provided he flies his protest within ten days after the appointment has been bulletined as above, and such telegrapher will be compensated by the commission for any loss of revenue sustained by not duly receiving the appoint- ment to which he is entitled. (d) Telegraphers in the employ will be given preference in filling vacancies or op- enings on extensions or new lines. (e) In case of reduction in the number of telegraphers employed, the junior teleg- raphers will be the first dispensed with. (f) The commission will not abolish posi- tions incorporated in Article XXVII, except in case of a reduction of staff. A telegra- pher holding such a position, so abolished, will receive fourteen days' notice of the .same, and will be entitled to the position then held by the junior- permanently located telegrapher, but will retain his seniority rights. (g) A complete list of all telegraphers em- ployed by the' commission, showing their seniority standing, will be kept on file in the respective train dispatching offices, open to the inspection of all telegraphers con- cerned. This list will be subject to correc- tion on proper representation from any teleg- rapher, and a copy of it. corrected to date, will be furnished the general chairman at the beginning of each year. fh) Telegraphers will have the exclusive right to any position incorporated In the accompanying wage schedule, also any new telegraphers' positions created by the ab- 594 Schedules and Wage Scales. sorption of other lines, or the construction of new lines, when vacancies in such posi- tions occur. (i) Telegraphers will also be eligible and considered in line of promotion to the posi- tion of agent at any of the stations not incorporated in the accompanying wage schedule, which have been omitted in view of conditions which may be impracticable or unfair to fill these positions exclusively from one branch of the service. (j) The right of promotion of train dis- patchers will be governed by merit and abil- ity; these being sufficient, the senior train dispatcher to have the preference. The or- der of promotion of train dispatchers will be from senior relieving dispatcher to trick dispatcher, and from trick dispatcher to chief dispatcher. The seniority of a train dispatcher will date from the time he was appointed a trick dispatcher, unless by his own request he takes another position in the service, un- der which circvimstances his seniority as a train dispatcher will date from the time he was last appointed as a trick dispatcher. A train dispatcher will retain his seniority standing in the ranks of the agents and operators. Relieving dispatchers will be appointed from telegraphers on the road, if available, in accordance with clause (c)- of this ar- ticle, and will be allowed sufficient time, without pay, to learn the work of train dispatching, under a regular trick dispatcher, such time not to exceed one week. In the event of a vacancy occurring in a train dispatcher's position, or chief dis- patcher's position, or a new train dispatch- er's position created, the senior train dis- patchers ill order of seniority will have the refusal of the same. ARTICLE III. No telegrapher will be suspended (except for investigation), disciplined or discharged until his case has been investigated, and he has . been proven guilty of the offense charged against him, the decision in such case to be arrived at within ten days from the date of his suspension. If a telegrapher is found blameless in the matter under in- vestigation, he will be paid at schedule rates for the time lost and extra expenses while attending such investigation, if away from home, and be reinstated. If detained more than ten days awaiting such investigation at the commission's instance, he will be paid schedule wages for the time in excess of ten days, whatever the decision may be. Teleg- raphers may have the assistance of a co- telegrapher at investigation if they so de- sire. A written statement setting forth the re- sult of an investigation and the -reasons thereof will be furnished by the commission ' to the local board of adjustment, if re- quested by it. - ARTICLE IV. Lack of conveniences, such as school fa- cilities, etc., will be taken into considera- tion in locating telegraphers, but only when this can be done without infringing on the rights of their seniors in the service. ARTICLE V. Telegraphers serving on boards of adjust- ment representing telegraphers will be re- lieved without unnecessary delay (such de- lay not to exceed ten days), and will be furnished free flrst-class transportation over this railway's line for such purpose. ARTICLE VI. Telegraphers will be granted free first- class transportation and leave of absence to attend their meetings, and the leave of* absence will not exceed two days, and will only be granted when it will not interfere with the reqiiirements of the traffic, and the service, provided the commission is not thereby put to additional expense. ARTICLE VII. When a telegrapher is transferred by or- der of the proper official, he will suffer no loss in schedule wages in consequence there- of, and will be allowed reasonable time (not to exceed four days, and without pay), to arrange for the shipment of his household effects. ■ ARTICLE VIII. Telegraphers attending court or investiga- tion at the request of the proper official of the commission, will have their extra expenses paid by the commission, 4n addi- tion to their schedule wages. ARTICLE IX; Telegraphers required to work at wrecks, washouts and slides, will, in inclement weather, be provided with shelter and be paid necessary expenses while away from home. ARTICLE X. Telegraphers will not be required to teach telegraphy nor admit students, not mem- bers of the station staff, to their offices. ARTICLE XL A telegrapher securing employment with the commission will within thirty days from the date of employment have returned to him all service cards and letters of recommen- dation which have been taken up by the commission, except any previously issued by the commission. ARTICLE XII. A telegrapher leaving the service of the coinmission will, on request, within five days, be furnished with a certificate by the proper official, stating term or terms of service, capacities in which employed, and whether discharged or leaving of his own accord. If discharged ,cat>ee of dismissal will be stated. If detained more than five days awaiting such certificate, he will be paid schedule wages for all time in excess of five days. Un- less otherwise requested, this certificate will be mailed to the telegrapher at the place of last employment. ARTICLE XIII. (a) Telegraphers will be exempt from .shoveling snow, stencilling cars, sifting coal a.shes, tending flower gardens, scrubbing sta- tions, cutting or piling wood, pumping, en- gines, windmills, handling government mail, fires under tanks (except at New Liskeard), Schedules and Wage Scales. 595 signal levers (unless such are placed within the telegraph office), inspecting or icing re- frigerator cars, filling- or lighting heaters' at junction, terminal or turn-around points, and points of transfer to or from boats and barges. They will also be excused from putting freight in shed without proper assistance. (b) Telegraphers will be exempt from lighting switch lamps at points where it can be done by other employes. At places where telegraphers are required to light switch lamps, they will be paid $4.00 per month for six or less lights, and 50c per month for each additional light. (c) Nothing in this article will relieve telegraphers from their responsibility under the rules. Telegraphers will keep train order signal clean, in good condition, and lighted when required, without extra compensation. ARTICLE XIV. At stations where agent's wages are based on free dwelling, light and fuel, the dwelling will be provided with a cellar, summer kitchen, well or cistern, and be reserved ex- clusively for the use of the agent andjiis family, unless he elects to reside else- where, and in the event of so electing, the day and night operator, respectively, will have the next offer of same. When wood is supplied for fuel, it will be cut in lengths not exceeding twenty inches. A telegrapher occupying one of the com- mission's dwellings, who is dismissed from the service, will be allowed to retain posses- sion of the dwelling until he has been paid all moneys due him by the commission, and the commission will keep its dwelling in good repair. Occupants must keep such dwellings and their surroundings clean, and must pay for repairs other than those due ,to ordi- nary wear and tear. ARTICLE XV. When circumstances make it necessary for telegraphers to work on Sunday, they will be paid extra for such service at overtinne rates as per clause (d) of Article XIX, with a minimum compensation of 50 cents for each call for which one hour's service, if re- quired, shall be rendered. If called more than twice, he will receive a full day's pay. Telegraphers will be notified Saturdays on leaving duty if they will be required for duty the following Sunday, except positions termed "operators and ticket clerks." ARTICLE XVI.

ARTICLE XVIII. Railway telegraphers handling commercial telegraph or telephone business will be al- lowed ten per cent commission on all Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Railway tele- graph or telephone earnings, and on con- necting lines with which we check direct. The income accruing to the station on ac- count of telegraph or telephone commis- sions will be equitably divided between the telegraphers performing the service, the agent to be entitled to not less than one- third of the total amount. ARTICLE XIX. ■ (a) Ten consecutive hours' service, in- cludmg meal hour, will constitute a day's work for all telegraphers, except North Bay "BY" office, where eight consecutive hours, without meal hovir, will constitute a day's work.

Nothing herein will prohibit a dis- patcher from granting telegraphers two meal hours when kept on duty beyond their regu- lar hours, the intention being to grant regu- lar meal hours so far as the business of the commission will permit. (c) No telegrapher will be required to work what is known as a "split ti-ick", a meal hour not being considered a "split triok". (d) Telegraphers will be allowed overtime at the -rate of time and ono-half, according to salary, based on twenty-six days per month, any portion of an hour, thirty min- utes or over, will be counted as an hour, any portion less than thirty minutes will not be counted, except that telegraphers when required to remain on duty aftei^egu- lar hours, i£ detained fifteen minute^ will be allowed one hour overtime for the first hour or any portion thereof.

ARTICLE II. When new positions are created these rules and regulations will apply to them, and in fixing compensation similar positions, re- sponsibilities arid salaries will be considered. ARTICLE III. The rights of promotion for telegraphers will extend over the line as a unit. To ob- tain promotion, faithful, intelligent and cour- teous discharge of duty and capacity for greater responsibility will govern. Ability being sufficient, men longest in continuoiis service will have preference. In event the oldest employe is not assigned, he shall have the right to appeal. ARTICLE IV. In case of reduction of force, the youngest assigned telegrapher will be reduced first. In re-employing such men seniority will govern, subject to the provisions of Article III. ARTICLE V. All vacancies will be bulletined within five days to all employes, and no positions filled permanently within less than ten days after issuance of bulletin, but will be filled within thirty days. When transferred, and after a fair trial telegraphers are found incapable, they will be assigned to the extra list, re- taining their seniority. ARTICLE VI. Seniority will be effective only when va- cancies occur or new positions are created, and will be effective from the date last en- tering the service. Schedules and Wage Scales-. 607 A telegrapher shall not be eligible to re- turn to a position vacated by him until same shall have been advertised a second time, unless there are no other applicants. Telegraphers declining promotion do not forfeit seniority rights to this or any other position when a vacancy occurs. Telegraphers leaving the service forfeit all seniority rights and will be re-employed only as new men. Trading positions will not be permitted. ARTICLE VII. Seniority lists will be prepared and fur- nished to all employes by the general super- intendent semi-annually. ARTICLE VIII. Telegraphers "vvill not be disciplined or discharged except for a just cause, and will be given a fair and impartial hearing as soon as practical, if requested, and they will be entitled to a representative in the employ of the company present, and will be notiiled result of investigation promptly. When a telegrapher has been disciplined or discharged, and upon investigation it has been found that he was not at fault, he will receive full pay for time lost on said ac- count and be reinstated with all seniority rights. In the event a grievance cannot be satisfactorily adjusted with the general superintendent, the right of appeal to higher officers in their regular order is conceded. ARTICLE EX. At offices where but one telegrapher is employed twelve (12) consecutive hours, in- cluding two meal hours, will constitute a day's work, commencing between 6:00 and 9:00 a. m. or between 6:00 and 9:00 p. m. When three telegraphers are employed, eight (8) consecutive hours will constitute a day's work. Telegraphers working more than eight (8) consecutive hours will be allowed one hour for meals after having been on duty as much as five (5> hours. If regular meal is missed, time will be allowed for lunch at first opportunity. When necessary to curtail this time less than one hour, one hour will be allowed. No overtime will be allowed for time con- sumed in making proper transfer with re- lieving telegrapher. ARTICLE X." Telegraphers required to perform service outside of their regular assigned hours will receive overtime at the rate of 35 cents per hour. Thirty minutes or less will not be counted; more than thirty minutes will be counted one hour. Telegraphers called or instructed to come on duty before or after their regular assigned hours will be allowed 50 cents for first hour or any part thereof, and overtime thereafter. Telegraphers will respond promptly to all calls. Overtime must be reported to the general superintendent within forty-eight hours after service has been performed. ARTICLE XI. Special effort will be made to relieve or reduce working hours of telegraphers on Sundays and holidays, without reduction in pay. ARTICLE XII. Regularly assigned telegraphers required to attend court or coroner's inquest by the company, away from their place of resi- dence, will be paid their regular wages and furnished transportation to and from their place of residence, and will be allowed actual expense, not exceeding $3.00- per day, • the company being entitled to their mileage and witness fees. ARTICLE XIIL Regularly assigned telegraphers perform- ing duty at wrecks, washouts or other emer- gency offices, will be paid regular salaries and actual expense, not exceeding $3.00 per day, while away from home. ARTICLE XIV. When telegraphers are transferred they will be given transportation for themselves, families and household goods, and suffer no loss of pay in excess of one day. ARTICLE XV. Telegraphers who have been in the serv- ice sixty days or more will, in leaving the service, be given, upon reqviest, a letter from the proper official, stating time of service, capacity in ^hich employed, and whether leaving the service of their own accord or discharged. If discharged, the specific cause will be stated. Telegraphers, upon application, will have returned to them all service cards and letters of recommendation which may have been taken up for inspection. ARTICLE XVI. Where bonds are required of telegraphers, the company will pay the premium thereon. ARTICLE XVIL Telegraphers desiring to be checked in after expiration of leave of absence, will give the general superintendent at least five days' notice, and if not then checked in and delayed thereafter, wjU receive pay for such additional time as they are held out of serv- ice, and will be considered out of service in case they do not give five days' notice prior to expiration of leave of absence of date they will report for duty. Leave of ab- sence will not be granted for any period exceeding ninety days, except in cases of sickness or accident to the employes or their families. ARTICLE XVIII. When telegraphers covered by this agree- ment are temporarily transferred from their assigned positions to a position paying a lower rate than the regular assignment, or when temporarily transferred to a position paying a higher rate, they will be paid their regular salary plus actual additional expense incurred by transfer, not exceeding $1.00 per day. A temporary transfer in the above case is understood not to exceed twenty days; if transferred from regular position and held for a period exceeding twenty days for the , convenience of the company, the higher pay 608 Schedules and Wage Scales. for the position will govern, plus actual ad- ditional expense not exceeding $1.00 per day ARTICLE XIX. The company will furnish each telegrapher in the service with a copy of this agreement, and all amendments, rulings and supple- ments thereto. ARTICLE XX. It is distinctly understood that when this agreement goes into effect, if any wrong or injury has been done to any one or more persons or the management, both parties are at all times ready to take up and consider, with a spirit of fairness, such grievances. ARTICLE XXL The positions of telegraphers employed in the general offices at Frankfort will be con- sidered as coming under this schedule in so far as seniority obtains. There will be no loss of seniority on account of occupying such positions. Vacancies in these positions will not be advertised, but will be filled by selection from line telegraphers or by em- ploying new men. WAGE scale. Rate Per Station and Position. , Month.

Express Agreements. 659 Unless otherwise arranged with superin- tendents, agents must charge their commis- sions accordingly, and on "our charges" only. Agents in British Columbia and Alberta: GV2% on all business to and from all other offices. Agents in office in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontaria, west of and including Sudbury: 9% on business to and from all other of- fices. Agents at office east and south of Sudbury: 11% on all business to and from offices in same territory, and 5% on business to and from all other offices. Note: Western express offices in Maine and Vermont will be regarded as Dominion express offices so far as computing commis- sion is concerned. Goods in bond: On waybills for goods which are billed to any inland port of entry, to be passed through customs and then re- billed to destination, the agent at port of entry and destination will each receive com- mission at one-half the regular rates. It will be necessary for the agent at port of entry to distinguish between customs charge and ex- press charges when rebilling such ship- ments. Both amounts must be shown i?j "advance charges" column, distinguishing the charges by the words "our charges" (or O. C.) and "expenses." Exception will be made in case goods are received on through waybills as provided for under "foreign business." Carload shipments: When shipments are made in carloads and loaded by shippers, commission will be allowed on one-half of charges, but not to exceed $3.00 a car. Foreign business: Agents will be allowed commission for China, Japan or Australia and European business, and on through way- bills of other companies on one-half the through charge; at the same rate allowed on business to and from seaport or trans- fer point at which such business is trans- ferred to this company. Note; No commission will be allowed on charges for marine insurance or on charges for other companies. Outside money order offices will make up their own reports and deliver them to sta- tion agent ready to be put on train. All agents will be allowed ten per cent of return charges of paid C. O. D.'s and col- lections when returns are made by money order. Waybills covering shipinents covered by stamps will show amount represented by stamps placed on shipment, and receiving agent will be allowed commission at regular rates.

(Possession and Control of Rail and Water Transportation Systems) pp tfte ^resiibent of tjje ®niteb ^tate^ of America ^ proclamation w HEREAS the Congress of the United States, in the exercise of the consti- tutional authority vested in them, by joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives, bearing date April 6, 1917, resolved: • That the state of war between the United States and the Imperial German Government which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby for- mally declared; and that the. President be, and he is hereby authorized and di- rected to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial German Government; and to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States. And by joint resolution bearing date of December 7, 1917, resolved: That a state of war is hereby declared to exist between the United States of America and the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Government; and that the President be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Govern- ment to carry on war against the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Govern- ment; and to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States. And whereas it is provided by section 1 of the Act approved August 29, 1916, entitled "An Act making appropriations for the support of the Army for the flscal year ending June 30, 1917, and for other purposes," as follows: The President, in time of war, is empowered, through the Secretary of War, to take possession and assume control of any system or systems of transporta- tion, or any part thereof, and to utilize the same, to the exclusion as far as may be necessary of all other traffic thereon, for the transfer or transportation of troops, war material and equipment, or for such other purposes connected with the emergency as may be needful or desirable. And whereas it has now become necessary in the national defense to take possession and assume control of certain systems of transportation and to utilize the same, to the exclusion as far as may be necessary of other than war traffic thereon, for the transportation of troops, war material and equipment therefor, and for other needful and desirable purposes connected with the prosecution of the war; Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, under and by virtue of the powers vested in me by the foregoing resolutions and statute, and by virtue of all other powers thereto me enabling, do hereby, through Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, take, possession and assume control at 12 o'clock noon on the twenty-eighth day of December, 1917, of each and every system of transportation and the appurtenances thereof located wholly or in part within the boundaries of the continental United States and consisting of railroads, and owned or controlled systems of coastwise and inland transportation, engaged in general transportation, whether operated by steam or electric power, including also terminals, terminal companies and terminal associations, sleeping and parlor cars, private cars and private car lines, elevators, warehouses, telegraph and telephone lines and all other equipment and appurtenances commonly used upon or operated as a part of such rail or com- bined rail and water systems of transportation; — to the end that such systems of transportation be utilized for the transfer and transportation of troops, war material and equipment, to the exclusion so far as may be necessary of all other traffic thereon; and that so far as such exclusive use be not necessary or desirable, such systems of transportation be operated and utilized in the performance of such other services as the national interest may require and of the usual and ordinary business and duties of common carriers. It is hereby directed that the possession, control, operation and utilization of such transportation systems hereby by me undertaken shall be exercised by and through William G. McAdoo, who is hereby appointed and designated Director General or Railroads. Said Director may perform the duties imposed upon him, so long and to such extent as he shall determine, through the Boards of Directors, Receivers, officers and employes of said systems of transportation. Until and except so far as said Director shall from time to time by general or special orders otherwise provide, the Boards of Directors, Receivers, officers and employes of the various transportation systems shall continue the operation thereof in the usual and ordinary course of the business of common carriers, in the names of their respective companies. Until and except so far as said Director shall from time to time otherwise by general or special orders determine, such systems of transportation shall remain subject to all existing statutes and orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and to all statutes and orders of regulating commissions of the various states in which said systems or any part thereof may be situated. But any orders, general or special, hereafter made by said Director, shall have paramount authority and be obeyed as such. Nothing herein shall be construed as now affecting the possession, operation and control of street electric passenger railways, including railways commonly called interurbans, whether such railways be or be not owned or controlled by such railroad companies or systems. By subsequent order and proclamation, if and when it shall be found necessary or desirable, possession, control or operation may be taken of all or any part of such street railway systems, including subways and tunnels; and by subsequent order and proclamation possession, control and operation in whole or in part may also be relinquished to the owners thereof of any part of the railroad systems or rail and water systems, possession and control of which are hereby assumed. The Director shall as soon as may be after having assumed such possession and control enter upon negotiations with the several companies looking to agreements for just and reasonable compensation for the possession, use and control of their respective properties on the basis of an annual guaranteed compensation, above accruing depreciation and the maintenance of their properties, equivalent, as nearly as may be, to the average of the net operating income thereof for the three-year period ending June 30, 1917, — the results of such negotiations to be reported to me for such action as may be appropriate and lawful. But nothing herein contained, expressed or implied, or hereafter done or suffered hereunder, shall be deemed in any way to impair the rights of the stockholders, bondholders, creditors and other persons having interests in said systems of trans- portation or in the profits thereof, to receive just and adequate compensation for the use and control and operation of their property hereby assumed. Regular dividends hitherto declared, and maturing interest upon bonds, deben- tures and other obligations, may be paid in dile course; and such regular dividends and interest may continue to be paid until and unless the said Director shall from time to time otherwise by general or special orders determine; and, subject to the approval of the Director, the various carriers may agree upon and arrange for the renewal and extension of maturing obligations. Except with the prior written assent as said Director, no attachment by mesne process or on execution shall be levied on or against any of the property used by any of said transportation systems in the conduct of their business as common car- riers; but suits may be brought by and against said carriers and judgments rendered as hitherto until and except so far as said Director may, by general or special orders, otherwise determine. From and after twelve o'clock on said twenty-eighth day of December, 1917, all transportation systems included in this order and proclamation shall conclusively be deemed within the possession and control of said Director without further act or notice. But for the purpose of accounting said possession and control shall date from twelve o'clock midnight on December 31, 1917. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done by the President, through Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, in the District of Columbia, this 26th day of December, in the year of (Seal.) our Lord one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, and of the inde- pendence of the United States the one hundred and forty-second.
