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.
