Raise Of Wages on Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Fe Extended.

The Topeka Journal says that all
skilled men In the mechanical depart
ment Of the Santa Fe. from Chicago
to Albuquerque, n. NJ, will receive an
Increase In wages. This agreement
was reached to-day after the local
committee from the International Ma
chlnists' association had held a con
ference with the management. The
meeting Saturday resulted only in
concessions being made to the ma.
chinists, but the action of to-day in.
sures an advance to all skilled me-
chaniCs. The agreement was reached
without any wrangle between the EN-
ployes and the management, by noon
the details of the contract had been
arranged for all men on the line be-
tween Chicago and Colorado. and the
remainder vas completed late this af-
ternoon.
The advance gives to all skilled me-
chanics formerly receiving under SO a
day an advance OF % cents per day
more than heretofore. and to those re-
ceiving 50 an increase of 10 cents per
day. Gang bosses also receive an in
crease OF % cents a day.
The committee which has secured
this increase Is composed of William
Barnes, Samuel McKibben and George
Cooper, all members of the lnterna-
tional M~achinists' association and rep
resenting the best element of the shop
men. Regarding the treatment which
they have received at the hands OF the
officials they speak very highly. Our
treatment has been very courteous

noon. we had nc w%rangles; when
ever we came to n place where we
were not yet together we Just talked
it over and finally came to an under
standing, We found II a pleasure to
meet such men as we dealt with"
So far, no concessions have been
asked for regarding a shorter day, the
committee being content to have its
demands for higher wages acceded to,
but II is understood that the Inter
national Machinists' association at
Chicago will take up the cause OF a
nine hour day and will bring such
pressure to bear az will insure this
concession by May 20. The present
schedule provides for a f~fty-nine
hour week.
The advance in all the mechanical
departments is effective from May /.
