Conductors making less than 1000
miles per month will receive sS3 as
against $40 under the per diem system
Runs making less than 800 and more
than 1000 miles will draw $780, as
against $50 under the old arrangement.
On runs which cover less than
1000 and more than 5000 miles, the
pay will be increased from 800 to S9S.
For runs making between 1000 and
5000 miles the increase will be from
$104 to S10S. Larger runs will be paid
accordingly.
Brakemen's and baggagemasters'
pay is increased in like proportions.

Under the old management the COM
pany furnished its passenger conduc-
tors with two uniforms a year free.

shall buy their own uniforms.
The standard rate of nay under the
mileage system is three cents a mile
for conductors anu two cents for brake
men. Under the Lackawanna sched-
ue through freight conductors receive
three and one-tenth cents per mile.
The ten hour day Is granted to all
except yard and "hill' crews. These
latter have twelve hour day, with
one hour lay-off for meals.
In computing the pay the following
rules obtains: Ten hours constitute
a days work. A run of one hundred
miles is likewise considered a days
work. If the hours exceed the mil
cage the hours are to be taken as the
basis for computation. If the mileage
exceeds the hour, then the mileage is
to be the basis of computation. If
man runs one hundred miles in five
hours he gets paid for one hundred
| miles just the same as if it took him
ten hours to make the run. If he only
| runs fifty miles, but It took him five
hours and major fraction of another
| hour to make the run he gets one hum
dreu miles for it. In other words, a
| five hour and thirty minute run en-
| titles him to ten hours pay.

American Poultry Condemned.

Nine tons of poultry, consisting of
2,169 geese, turkeys, chickens and
ducks, from Boston, were landed re-
Gently at a London dock, where it was
found that they had decayed on the
voyage. They could not be condemned,
however, till they had been loaded on
wagons and carted to a police court,
where a police magistrate came out,
listened to the inspectors story, salts
fed himself by his own senses that the
fowls were unsound and ordered them
TO be destroyed. A police magistrate
is apparently the only English official
who can condemn bad meat, and this
he can do only after listening to COM
plant and examining the corpus deficit
personally In his own courtroom.
