ENGINEERS
GET A BIG
INCREASE

Chicago, Jan. 14.-After daily ses-
sions which have lasted several weeks
western railroads today decided to
give locomotive engineers increased
wages aggregating between $4,000
600 and $4,000, 100000 annually.
The increase will affect between 49,
900 and 10000 engineers on all roads
west of Chicago TO the Pacific coast
The negotiations have been car
ried on by committees of the engi-
neerG and the raildoad officials.
The advance will apply to all class.
es of engineers. On passenger trains
the engineers will receive a five per
cent increase ON n hundred miles. On
freight engines the raise will be be-
tween % and IL cents per hundred
miles, in all the large railroad yards.
the switch engineers will also receive
an increase in pay.
Apparently the spirit of compro-
mise governed the negotiations, and
the engineers have practically agreed
to give up their original demand for
an eight-hour day with respect TO
being given runs of one hundred miles
only.
The switch engineers were refus-
ed an allowance of time and one half
for over time in excess OF two hours.
This is the first time in railroad
history that demands of railroad men
have been considered by the roads.
