A £ How Much Longer Will You Pay? For four year* in Pennsylvania, for two in New Jersey, the Full Crew Law has had the acid teat of every-day experience. Wh.t haa it accomplished ? Five and ooe-haH million dollars hare been wasted by the raili roads, and in no single instance has the Full Crew Law, that comJ pels^thia waste, contributed one jot to the safety of the traveling In proportion to the great body of railroad employes, the'number of extra men forced on the railroads by the Full Crew bill is small But their pay is high, higher, in fact, than the wages really earned by moat other classes of employes. It costs the railroads (2566 in one year to pay the superfluous trainmen on one passenger train operating between New York and Pittsburgh. That’s but a single item, taken at random from the tremendous bill whifh directly or indirectly each citizen has to pay. But the people are now determined to pay this needless bill no longer. If you have not yet voiced your personal demand that the waste of this money that should be spent for your better and safer service be stopped, s letter to your elected representative at Harrisburg and Trenton is your most effective method.
