Have Been Increased.

CINCINNATI. July 12.-Grand Master Ma
chinist James O'Connell, Of the information
al Machinists' Association, stopped here to-
day while removing his headquarters from
Richmond, Va, to Chicago. "O'Connell said
things were booming with the machinists.
There has been a wonderful revival the
past two MONTHS" he said. There has
been an Improvement of Is per cent. since
Jan. 1. Since that date there has been an
average increase in wages of union machin-
lists of about 5 per cent. In most cases the
increase has been 10 per cent: but the in
stances in which no increase has been
granted bring the general average down.
While a year ago our association had 5000
members who were out Of employment, to-
day there Is not a man Idle. The large
number of machinists who were forced to
become delinquent during the depression are
coming back. We nave r~eorganized sixteen
old unions the past month that had gone
with the panic's crash"
