A few weeks ago committees, repre-
senting the well organized classes on the
Missouri Pacific railway, were in the
city looking after their interests. On

amounted to more than $50 per month,
would be increased from to 20 per cent,

who are receiving more than $50 per

least, while the wages of those who need
it worst remain the same.-Trackman's
