Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-In-
creases in wages, amounting to
100000 a year, are to be grant
ed the locomotive engineers
land firemen employed by the
Chicago & Northwestern road
and it's branch lines, through
an agreement reached today
between officials of the rail-
roads and committees repre-
senting the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and Bro
therhood of Locomotive Fire
men.
The new scale will go into eff
feet January 1. 1t provides
for increases of approximately
8 per cent in the pay of the
members Of the labor organiza-
lions. The engineers will re-
ceive from $3.50 to $4.7O for
each run of 100 miles. They
are now paid from $3.50 to
$3.50.
The high rate is paid to the
men who run the larger and
newer engines. The number
Of these engines is constantly
growing and it is said a major
ity of the men will receive the
$4.7O rate.
The advances made to the
firemen are not as large pro-
portionately as those gained by
the engineers. The company
has agreed, however, to excuse
the men from the work of
cleaning portions of freight en-
gines, and this concession is re
garded as important as the in
crease in wages. Under the
new scale the firemen are to
receive 1925 to $2.75 for each
run of 100 miles. The present
[scale is from $3.50 to $3.50. OF
the firemen and engineers who
are benefited by the new
agreement, $500 are employed
on the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad. The other $4,000 are
employed on the st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Omaha and the FIRE.

Expect Settlement.

So far nothing of definite ma
ture looking to a settlement has
been heard by the strikers the
last word being that President
Burt will return home the last
part of this week, and his reply
to the ultimatum of John Mcneil
that the Southern Pacific boiler
makers would be called out unless
a settlement is effected, will be-
come known.
1t being at his request that
action along that line be post
poned until his return, the strikers
look for overtures of settlement.
But in the meantime, not a bit OF
their vigilance is being relaxed,
and preparations are going ahead
with them as if the strike were to
last inde6nitely.-W World Herald.
