Excerpt from Hearing Before Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, House of Representatives: On the Bills H. R. 4438, H. R. 16676, and H. R. 18671, to Limit the Hours of Service of Railroad Employees The committee met at 10.45 o´clock a. m., Hon. William P. Hepburn (chairman) in the chair. The Chairman. The committee will be in order. The special order is the consideration of two bills, Nos. 4438 and 16676, relating to the limiting of hours of labor of railroad employees. These two bills are before the committee now. Is there any gentleman who wants to be heard? Mr. Norris. Mr. Fuller is here, who has another engagement, and if it is satisfactory to the committee I will give way and let Mr. Fuller be heard first, because, like the poor, you have me with you always and you can not always have him. The Chairman. Mr. Fuller, we will hear you. Statement of Mr H. R. Fuller. Mr. Fuller. I thank you very much, Mr. Norris. I wish to speak brie¿y in support of House bill 16676, the purpose of which is to prevent railroad companies engaged in interstate commerce from working their employees excessive hours without rest. That there have been many serious accidents in which lives have been lost as the result of men working excessive hours I do not think will be seriously questioned. That being true, the question which confronts us is, How to prevent them in the future? The men I represent wish to do this. Mr. Esch. Whom do you represent? Mr. Fuller. I represent the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the Order of Railway Conductors, and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Mr. Bartlett. Those organizations embrace about all the railroad employees who are engaged in running trains? Mr. Fuller. That is, that this bill would directly affect. Mr. Bartlett. You represent all the men engaged in running the trains - the employees? Mr. Fuller. Yes, sir. We approach this question with caution, and I say that for the bene¿t of the committee.
