To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Following is a list of the States in which laws have been passed requiring three brakemen on trains and specifying the minimum number of cars to which this requirement shall apply : Arkansas and Wash- ington, 25 cars or more ; New York, 26 cars or more ; Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, 30 cars or more ; Arizona, Missouri, and Oregon, 40 cars or more ; California, Nevada, and Indiana, 50 cars or more; North Dakota, 46 or more cars. The bills that have been introduced in Congress usually ...have required three brakemen on every train containing 25 cars or more. Here, again, it will be seen that the laws prescribe the number of trainmen on the basis of the number of cars in the train. From what has just been said of the character of the work to be done on through and local trains, it is evident that the nvimber of cars in a train is not the logical basis for the determination of the size of the train crew. EFFECTS OF TRAIN-CREW LEGISLATION. Increase in Operating Expenses. It is obvious that an increase in the number of men in a train crew- means an increase in the operating expenses and, unless accom- panied by a corresponding increase in the traffic per train or in rates, means a decrease in net operating revenues.
