ROSSITER'S PAY TO"MOTORNEERS."
HIS SCHEDULE REDUCES THE ELEVATED
ENGINEERS AS THE LOCOMOTIVES
ARE LAID OFF

MO oCHEDubE REDUCES THE ELEVATED
ENGINEERS AS THE LOCOMOTIVES
ARE LAID OFF
President Rossiter Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company Issued order, which went into effect
yesterday morning and which will remain in force
I'LL further notice regulating the pay OF the
men on the transit system. BY II the motormen
are put into three grades. The motormen OF the
surface cars are in the lowest grade and get 50
day. Next come the Bridge motormen, who get
~ -. and then come the motormen the elevated
roads who get 81 50 day. Under the new order
Mr.. Rossiter has brought into use the word
motorneer" The fixing Of the pay according to
grade is one Of the results OF the change from
steam 10 electricity
The elevated engineers will feel the cut made by
the new schedule. they have been getting 81 80
as locomotive engineers. The introduction Of the
motor cars Is TO be gradual however. and 1t Is Ike
~ that II will be more than twelve months before
engines cease running altogether. AS soon as an
engine Is permanently laid of and an engineer has
to talN up the motor crank. he begins 10 draw the
lesser pay. Doubtless many Of the engineers. par
tcularly the younger men. will quietly drop out and
seek places as regular engineers. thus retaining
Engineers. which they could not do If they accepted
the cut I'm wages. IL Is the theory Of the transit
officials that A surface car "motorneer." having
than 81 on the Bridge the ''motorneer mas a
train 10 look out for and his work II much more
responsible. The elevated "motOrneers' not only
have train, hut they have to travel longer dis
tanccs and have few waiting spells. and therefore
their work is hardest Of any OF the grades and
commands the highest pay.

TO SUCCEED COLONEL MANERNEY.
PRESIDENT OF THE SEVENTH Ma
TIONAI. BANK.

There is said TO be good reason to believe that the
directors OF the Seventh National Bank will at their
meeting next Tuesday elect the successor Of John
McAnerney, whose resignation OF the presidency
has just been accepted, Fletcher 5. Heath now
president OF the First National Bank OF oxford.
Ohio. Mr.. Heath is brother Of Perry 5. Heath,
the First Assistant Postmaster General, who was
recently instrumental in bringing new capital TO the
Seventh National Bank. Fletcher S. Heath, while
a young man. has had considerable experience In
the banking business. In addition TO his office of
president of the oxford Bank, he is also the vice;
president Of the Miami Valley National Bank OF
Hamilton. Ohio. AS Mr.. Heath is hardly likely 70
sever connection entirely with his Ohio Interests
the active mana cement OF the affairs of the Sew
enth REGIONAL Bank will In all probability largely
devolve upon Vice President William II. Kimball.
