MA LINES WILL GET APPROX
iMATELY q PER CENT,

WHEELING. Jan. 5.-Yarimasters
on the Pennsylvania have been pleas.
antiy surprised by a notification tina:
their months salary is to be raised 10
per cent. more than was expected with
the general increase of 10 per cen Civ.
en- all Of the employees recently approx.
imating 81 per cent. over the salary
they received up to December LIST.
There was a readjustment of the
wage scale in the Wheeling distric,
recently and this advance grows out OF
that. When these Increases were com
puted and assigned to the yardmen and
brakemen. 1t was found that some OF
the conductors in charge of yard crews
were TO receive more than yardmas.
tiers.
The operating officials saw this dis.
crepancy and the consequent trouble Il
would u by the yardmasters and
their assistants refusing to bear the
brunt of responsibility while working
at a salary less than the conductors.
The solution was found by granting
the advance.
The first pay day at which the men
will receive the 10 per cent. advance
and the yardmasters 81 per cent. will
be next Thursday. when a large
amount of money will be distributed
in the Wheeling district.
