About $50 Per
Month.

Beginning June 1 conductors and
motormen in the employ of the Tri-
City railway company Will be paid by
the hour instead of by the day, as
now. and will receive a raise in wages
practically amounting to 10 per cent.
The concession was made the men
at the meeting of the directors of the
railway company held yester-
day afternoon, when General Manager
Lardner made the recommendation,
which was adopted. One hundred
and fifty men are affected.
Under the new order the salary for
regular motormen and conductors
will be about $50 per month, IL hours
being the average days work. EX-
tras will earn about $54 per month.
The schedule fixes the wages at Is
and 16 cents per hour for the first
year and 17H cents per hour after
the first year. Another improvement
in favor of the men and one that will
be appreciated by them is the arrange
ment of the schedules so that each
motorman and conductor can have at
least an hour for dinner, thus en-
abling him to go home to eat instead
