The Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express, and Station
Employees was organized in 1899, and it was the largest single railroad organization
for employees who devoted a majority of their time to clerical work of any description
including chief clerks, foremen, train announcers, gatemen, checkers; parcel, baggage,
and storeroom employees; dock and pier workers; train and engine crew callers; timekeepers;
paymasters; freight inspectors; rate and tariff compilers; weigh masters; ticket clerks
and sellers; operators of all office and station equipment devices; telephone and
switchboard operators; and all employees occupying or performing duties similar to
those mentioned. After three months of experience in clerical work employees of both
genders, with good moral character, became eligible for membership. The union secured
increases in wages and better working conditions for its members.
