In this they seem to. be supported by the managements of the railways. E. Beatty,` president of the Canadian Pacific Railway,. in an address at Iroquois Falls recently, re- ferred to the application of the Tud- hope-Anderson Co., Ltd., as follows: `Rndnr~nn in manna nan nnhr ho` cf- . .

Jctober 23, That is why the Coach outsells all rivals. Its leadership is not even Everyone knows it provides highest closed car value. Hudson invented the Coach and its development and experience make its value exclusive. ' And even more important in your permanentenjoyrnent of the Coach, is the famous Super-Six chassis with performance distinction and long lasting reliability not excelled by any car regardless of cost. , . . You pay exactly open car cost for the all-year comforts of the Coach. Hudson alone can build it. As the largest builder of 6-cylinder closed cars in the world, Hudson exclusively holds the advantages to produce this car and this price? It creates the one important buying issue today.

Canadian` National Ra.ilwa.vs Journal for last month statedthat `the ayeragie compensation paid each rail- way employee in the United States for the year 1923 was $1,488. Very many employees work beyond their regular .assi,r:ned hours,` as may be required. therefore the real averazre would be less than the modest figure quoted. This is what the applicants state is, `an unreasonably high. unfair, extrava-e grant and discriminatory wage enabling`- these employees. to live in luxury. Compared Withvother VWorke'rsi As a reply to the applicants` asser- tinn that railway employees Wages are out of ' proportion with workmen employed inother `activities. and that our real wages are much greater, while theirs is much less than formerly. at- tention is-called to the cold historical facts on this point from thecanadian F. o. B. Windsqr, Tax Extra Super-Six :4 . .ra:'ug -.4 ...V- .1 .,...u. gun-yd aunlnevll uungco; u. 'l`udhope-Anderson Co.. Ltd.. seem to -think that the wages of Canadian railway employees were fixed by the so-called McAdoo award. ' This im- pression is quite incorrect. Adjust- ments in Canada were affectedby the McAdoo award to the detriment of the- employees whowere at that time ex- pecting better results, more in keeping with the then existing `high living costs. Rates paid various classes of railway employees in Canada are less than those prevailing in the United States. while some are quite equal to the United States standard. As Canadian climatic. conditions.,.m`e much more se- vere- than generally prevail to thel south, the cost to bothvemployers and employees is greater by" comparison, and would justify higher levels of both" railway rates and wages in this coun- t.rv_ Iilll \ try.

In July, 1921, railwayg workers wages in all branches of the service were cutover thirty million dollars a year on Cana- dian railways. Further substantial reductions in railway employees earn- ings occurred in 1922 due to further wage decreases and alterations in work- ing rules, by agreement. Were the.;- 1920 rates of pay and working rulesl still in force, the pay rolls of Canadian railways for 1924 would `be increased betweenforty and fifty million dollars.
