NEWS OF WAGE INCREASE EN-.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED

Pueblo ChieftaIn

| Pueblo Chieftain.
The announcement published in thu
| Sunday Chieftain relative to the in.
crease in wages that will go into ef.
fcrt on May ! was received with
| great JOY by Bessemerites and Pueblo
in general. Merchants of Bessemer
are well acquainted enough with the
Minnequa works and the pay roll TO
know what wage increase of from
10 20 per cent means. II means
that from s25. 900 to s35 900 more mon

city every month However. the
ones who received the news with the
greatest joy were the employees.
many of wnom have been expecting
something OF the. kind for several
weeks
The increase in wages together
with the recent hour change at tne
smelters means that Bessemer. which
has been growing. will now go for.
ward by bounds and more building
and general activity can be expected
than has ever been witnessed before"
said a prominent Bessemer merchant
Yesterday. Probably one of tne
best features of the increase is that
il will tend to draw to Bessemer the
better class of workmen. and ultimate
ly 1t Will tend to weed out the more
undesirable class 1t will enable the
workmen to live better and give to
the South side better class of citi-
zens.
Things are certainly coming our
way, II seems that for the past six
months all the news received and all
the changes made nave been favor
able and tending to make Bessemer
bigger and better. Ever since the re
sumption of the works conditions have
been growing better at the Minnequa
works. more men being employed CON
stantly. Then the eight-hour law
was made effective increasing the
number of men employed at the smell
ters and also increasing the payroll.
Now comes the news tnat the steel
works payroll will be increased.
While the benefits will be derived by
the merchants and the people all over
the city. it will doubtless do Besse-
mer more direct good. And now just
watch us grow"
This statement seemed to voice
the sentiments of all who We're inter
viewed on the subject and everyone
was in favor of putting their snoul-
ders to the wheel to work for great
