COMPROMISE OFFER MADE
Threatened Strike of Chicago Freight

Chicago, June 20-Five thousand
freight handlers in the employ Of rail

wage advances amounting to $250,000

ample
The st. Paul employees at a meeting
practically accepted the wage offer,
although it is less than the advance
demanded by the union, which was
about 121s per cent. This makes the
second increase received by freight
handlers within the last year, an adj
vance of / cent an hour having been
granted by all roads last September.
The settlement, If participated in by
the other roads, will tend to clarity
the local labor situation, since the
freight handlers had threatened to
strike on July unless satisfactory
agreement was secured.
Announcement also was made that
all clerks in the freighthouses of the
St. Paul and Northwestern roads will
receive an increase in pay amounting
to 10 per cent beginning July /.

AMAZED AT The SCHEME
Interstate Commission and Ex-
press Company Bonds.

Washington, June 2O.-Interstate
commerce commissioners were amazed
when they read of the Adams Express
company's proposal to issue an inter-
est bearing bond dividend of 200 per
cent. First, because the officials Of
the company thus publicly advertise
that they have a large surplus on
hand, and, second, that they propose
to distribute the surplus in such a
manner that future generations will be
asked to pay rates high enough to pay
the interest charges on dividends.
AS individuals commissioners talked
about the effrontery of the express
company officials in making such a
proposal. Officially they considered it
their duty to say nothing because they
will be called upon to pass upon the
question of whether rates on express
business are too high.
The general view among them is
that the express company officials
chose the most offensive way to dis
tribute their surplus.
AS outlined in the press reports
they are not pretending to be issuing
bonds to make "betterments" or in
crease the equipment Of the company.
They are proposing to distribute
large surplus in such form that, in the
future, they will be able to charge
rates high enough to pay interest on
long paid interest.
The proposal is regarded as more
obnoxious than anything Hartman
ever did or proposed to do.
