THE PAY OF THE G. & o. FREIGHT
EMPLOYEES Bailey and hin.
ford of the G. & 0. road who were appoin
ted by the employees here to go to Rich
mond and see Gen. Wickham about their
pay returned yesterday afternoon pleased
with the considerable and courteous treat
ment they had received, and satisfied with
the result. 1t appears that the company
has been trying to avoid discharging men
by giving smaller pay to larger number
than it needed, though it was paying
larger amount of money than the work
done usually costs. Gen. Wickham said
the company would reduce the force and
pay the freight employees retained. the old
wages-that is conductors s., AZ and brake
men $1,67. The General assured the COM
mittee that any time he would do what
would benefit the men when consistent
with the interest of the company.
