HIGH WAGES FOR
SECTION MEN
PROBABLE
Big Demand For Labor VIII
Result in Increased Wages
For Section Men.

The indications are that the rail-
roads entering Grand Forks, as we'll
as those over the entire northwest, will
have to pay higher scale of wages to
the section hands this year than ever
before. AS a rule, the section man is
the most poorly paid employee along
the line, and generally his work is
enough easier than that of men in the
extra gangs to warrant the lower scale.
The coming summer there will prob
ably be an increase in the wages of
both section and extra gang members.
Last season some of the roads were
compelled to pay more for section
hands than had been the case for a
number of years, and 1t went very
much against the grain. The increase
was not forthcoming until a shortage
of men made it absolutely essential
that 1t must be granted. There was
SO much railroad work through the
northwest, IN the line of construction,
that the labor market was short all
summer and fall, as it has been prac-
tically all winter, and the railroads
and contractors had to bid against each
other to get any workmen at all.
This year will be but a repetition of
the season of 1906, only the chances
are that the shortage of labor will be
even more pronounced, and the neces-
sity for paying higher wages all the
greater. Possibly the labor shortage
through the northwest will have be-
come SO widely advertised in the east
before spring opens in earnest that
enough new men will come into the
territory to relieve the situation some-
what This is hardly likely, however,
for the same scarcity of men exists
all through the southwest, particularly
in San Francisco, where common labor
is at premium. Most OF the workmen
starting out from the east head for
San Francisco, attracted by offers of
high wages there, and pass the north
west up entirely.
Much Building.
There will be vast amount of rail-
road building this year all the way
from the Great Lakes to the Pacific
coast, and an army of laborers will be
needed to supply the demand for work.
men. Good wages will be offered, much
higher than the section hands are re-
ceiving at present, and the difference
in the scale will probably be sufficient
to draw a good many section hands
from this line of work to the more
profitable field, unless a substantial
raise is forthcoming on the part Of
the railroads.
All winter, as is customary, the Sec
ton crews have been only a fraction
of the size they are in summer, because
the frozen roadbed prevents much
work being done, but with the ap-
proach of spring, it will become neces-
sary to place full crews at work all
along the line.
