CLERKS TO GET INCREASE.
Railroad Employees Have Organized and
Want More Money.

1t was stated in dispatch from ,Bos-
ton yesterday that the New Haven
road will shortly increase the wages Of
its several thousand clerks from FIVE to
ten cents q day. This action is taken,
it is understood, as result Of the or
ganization of railway mail clerks
union on the New Haven system and
the presentation by that body Of a de-
mand for an increase of Is per cent. in
their pay.
An effort to organize the clerks has
been in progress for some weeks and 1t
is said to have met with varying sue
cess in the different cities along the
system. There was a railway clerks
union composed Of some of the men at
tho yellow building few years ago,
but it has not been heard from In So
long that 1t is believed it Detered out
because of a lack of interest.
1t is stated that the clerks will well
come any advance in ,their pay, for
while the men in other branches Of
railroad service have been getting wage
increases every year for the past few
years, no general advance has been
given the clerks. 1t is stated, however
that the increase authorized by the
road will not be accepted by the organ
ization as final disposition of its de-
mand for the 10 per cent. advance.
