Railway Employment
18 Smallest in Years
The number of railway employees
in the United States in April was
the smallest reported at any time
forty years, or since 1898.
according to statistics compiled by
the Railway Age, and made public
by Atlanta railroad executievs.
The number of railway employees
declined in April to 912,070, the
smallest in any month of the de
pression so far. The previous low re
cord was made in March, 1933, when
the number was 919,881. The number
of employees in July, 1937, the last
month before advances in then
wages were made last year, was 1,174,-
434—the largest since October, 1931.
The decline from July, 1937, to April
1938, therefore, was 261,364, or 22.5
per cent.
“The terrific decline since last
July has been due principally, of
course, to the decline of general bus
iness and traffic,” the Railway Age
said. “But the evidence that it has
also been largley due to the advance
in wages is conclusive. In April, in
spite of the reduction of employees,
their net operating income was only
$9,234,000 as compared with more
(than $19,000,000 in April, 1933. The
inevitable result of continuance of
ne t operating income at an un
precedentedly low level will be con
tinuance of reduction of the num
ber of employees.
“In other words, reduction of em
ployment can be stopped only by
either an increase of gross earnings,
or a reduction of wages, or both
The 261,364 employees who have lost
their jobs since last July must be
, j
beginning to have misgivings as to
j whether their union leaders are fol
lowing policies that are promoting
! their welfare, at least.”
