TRAINMEN SIGN AGREEMENT.
Controversy Between Western Road
and Employees Settled.

controversy Between western hoaOS
and Employees Settled.
Chicago-The general agreement
which was reached between western
railroads and their employees in the
train service, through the mediation
Of Commissioners Knapp and Neill,
has been signed, and the committee
members, who have been in almost
continuous session here for three
months, left for their homes. The
Brotherhood Of Firemen, which has
been negotiating for practically the
same demands as the trainmen and
conductors, have about reached an
agreement with the roads. It is the
general belief that the firemen will be
granted the same concessions as the
conductors and trainmen.
Terms Of the Agreement.
The agreement which goes into ef-
feet dating from April / follows:
The pay of conductors in the pas
senger service to be increased $40
per month; that of baggagemen $3.50,
and that of flagmen and brakemen
$3.50 per month, as applied to the
schedules in effect November 1, 1906.
The railroads are not to make any
reductions in crews or increase in
mileage for the purpose of offsetting
the increased wages given the passen-
ger trainmen.
Overtime in the passenger service is
to be allowed on the basis of 10 miles
per hour, to be computed for each part
of the run separately. Time is to be-
gin at the scheduled time of leaving.
Roads on basis of more than 10
hours per day for a helper or con-
struction train service are to make no
increase in the rates paid for such
service.
The increases granted in the aggre-
gate are to apply also to rates of spec
ial services specified in the individual
schedule.
Upon roads having a better basis
for a days work, or for payment of
overtime or other allowances in all
branches Of train service, the accep-
lance of this agreement is not to act
as reduction.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen was also granted by the rail-
roads an increase of 10 per cent.
