linols Central railroad, at Memphis,
Tenn, and Is members are expected
to be in attendance, Paducah will be
represented by Mr.. Quincy Wallace.
secretary Of the board.
The principal business before the
board is a discussion of the wage
scale. Every winter the committee
meets and outlines a scale to be pre-
scented in the spring to higher Off
cials of the railroad. The desire gen.
orally is a uniform scale, and mucn
progress was made last year. The
excellent work Of the brotherhood
has encouraged officials to grant the
Carmen every possible concession,
and no trouble is expected this year
in improving the scale.
Last year the scale adopted af.
fected many Paducan car repairers
but it is still not in the form jesir>
ed. Machinists. boilermakers and
blacksmiths get a fixed scale the
system over. and this is what the
Carmen want.
With the coming of spring all or
CARNATIONS are preparing to frame
new scales. the machinists, boiler
makers, painters and blacksmithl
will later take the matter up and al
are sanguine of better scales be
cause of the general prosperity o.
the road. This winter for the frs
time in the memory of the Oldest EN-
ployes, Illinois Central shops did no
suffer a cut in force. Tnis alone Il
Indicative of increased business.

being circulated, and that communl-
ty is worked up to a high stage OF
excitement. the move started with
the decision of the Hovekamp board
of trustees to build a new $1,000
school. The Hovecamp and Tyler dis
tricts are divided by the railroad.
Tyler being nearer the city, and for
merly a large portion Of its school
population attended the old school
house in Mechanicsburg. The extend
ing of the city limits, and the build
ing of the new Mckinley school
threw the suburb on It's own re-
sources and the present school house
has been outgrown.
If the town Is Incorporated It will
take school management out of the
hands of the rural district trustees
and this is what one faction desires
to do, but even if incorporated into
a township a new school will have to
be built, and tax necessarily i'm
posed.
Tyler is located on the Benton
road and its population is about coo
as a rural district.
