BoILERMAKERs MAKE TERMS
Roads and Men Agree on Scale that
Suits Both.

All of the northwestern railroads
have accepted the new contract pre-
scented by the boilermakers and the
union and the roads have completed the
terms of the agreement. Under the
arrangement the men are gamers in
several things. Overtime is to be paid
for at the rate of price and one-half
up to midnight, and then double price
on all continuous runs of work. Time
and one-half is to be paid for work on
Sundays and legal holidays.
The standard rate Of pay agreed on
is as follows: Flangers, layer-out, and
fitter-up, Minot and all points east
thereof, 40 cents an hour; general work
men, SO cents an hour. Flanger, layer
out, and titter-up, all points west of
Minot, AZ cents an hour; genral work
men for the same district, 40 cents an
hour. Apprentices will be paid as fol-
lows: First year, 10 cents an hour;
171a cents; fourth year, 20 cents.
From now on, boilermakers will be in
line and will be given consideration and
preference for positions as foremen, or
for higher positions. Boilermakers sent
out: on the road from the shops in
which they are regularly employed will
be. paid straight time for travelling.
shop rates while at work, and actual
as most satisfactory and the prediction
is made that the securing of contracts
by the machinists and boilermakers will
result in better understanding on all
the northwestern roads between the
unions and the officials, eventually
bringing all employees into the same
list. --. .. .
