Concession.

About a week ago a committee consist
ing of Rock Island operators belonging TO
the order of Railway Telegraphers called
on the general manager of the road in Chi
cago and demanded of him an increase of
wages and a nine hour day instead of ten.
They were told that they could expect an
answer on or about August Is, but it now
seems that they have received an answer
employed in the local office of the Rock
Island last night said that they had been
granted a nine hour day and had been
promised an increase in wages. Just how
much of an increase they have been grant
ed is not known, but it is thought that it
will amount to about 50 per month. These
changes will go into effect on the 18th of
the month.
