The carmen of Salt Lake should have provided for them a decent office where they can transact their business with the company. When the Dew car barns were completed the cajs had an place for refirst-class tirement, with slides to look after their needs. The men, however, had no place provided for their comfort until they reached their 'homes, The place where except the barn. they are required to report even to this date, has no trouble maintaining its reputation as a barn. There are no comforts of any kind provided and such a thing as a seat for tired limbs is at a premium at reup-to-da- te porting times. Men must make reports on different forms, and some of these, such as accident reports, are lengthy and must be correct, but there Is no place fit for such work anywhere in the barn. Conductors must count up receipts, assort money and figure up their trip sheets at the end of each day's work. To avoid mistakes there should be provided some quiet place where this work can be done, with tables and chairs provided. Lack of these things compels the men to do this on the cars, street corners or some place other than where the work should be done. Numerous mistakes result from" this method and clerks and dispatchers are kept busy collecting and delivering shortage, slips, not mentioning the incomplete accident reports made up in a hurry while standing on cars or while using the back of checker boards in the crowd after reaching the barn." Many misunderstandings and much work could be avoided if the company would provide proper accommodations for making out these reports. It has' been said that it did not make any difference how many improvements the company made, the men would soon destroy anything put In for their use and convenience. If it is true, it is time a stop was put to such practices and those guilty of such destruction should be punished. A heavy fine or paying for damage done, as is now the rule on the cars when the crew is at fault, would check a lot of rough practices. The men and dispatchers should report all offenders either to the company or the executive board of the union. It has been stopped in other titles and can be stopped in Salt Lake: An offite" Is needed for the men and should be provided either by building a new one or fixing up the old one. In either case there should be provided two rooms besides the dispatchers office and one of these rooms should be private for men making out reports and turn-insand the other a general assembly room for carmen and others having business to transact on the premises. There are other things that should be installed, but if the. more important is attended to now perhaps other things will follow. Let us ask the company, and it is more than likely it will help us out of the barn. ," Brother Burt has returned from Seattle, where he. was ordered as an international representative to attend to some grievances of the carmen.
