General Manager Barton of tho Brooklyn Ele-

day that tho wages Of the employees Of the
road with the exception of the engineers and
office clerks), which were reduced ten per cent
in October, 1893, on account OF the competition
OF tho trolley roads, would be restored to the old
rates on June /. The notice was accompanied
with this explanation:
The Officers OF the company believe that danger
exists that wages Will again be reduced because
the earnings OF the company arc assured TO permit
iair wages so long as the surface OF the streets or
rooky nre not used for rapid transit purposes; and
because OF the cessation OF rRpid transit the
surface o. the streets TINT the company has been able
TO fulll Its promise made TO Its employees. viz, that
whenever surplus, above nxed charges and operat
ing expenses, shall have been earned wages would be
restored.
About 700 employees will get tho benefit of
the increase Of wages.
President Uhmann also announced that as
soon as IT, Q new station at the bridge has been
complsted the company will provide two spe-
cial cars for funerals to the cemeteries on the
lines of the road. An elevator will be construct
ed to transfer the collins to the train.
