COKE WORKERS r /:
Get INCREASE
4. C. ERtck COMPANY GIVES, VOL
uNTARY INCREASE OF 10
PER CENT.

PfTTSBURG, Feb. 10. - Notices
were posted yesterday afternoon at all
the. plarts of the H. C. Frick Coke Co.
throughout the Connellsville region
notifying employees OF an increase in
wages that will average a little more
than 10 per cent. There are 1s,500
men affected by the increase, and the
monthly pay roll for these men
amounts to s1.25o.ooo. The increase
in money per month will be slightly
in excess Of s125O00.
The notice of the increase in pay,
which goes into effect March l. was
entirely unexpected by the men. The
increase means that the highest wages
will be paid to coke workers IN the
history Of the industry, with the ex.
ception Of two items. Even the boom
year of 1908, which saw coke workers
wages higher than at any previous
time, is cast into the shade by the
present increase, and the two items
which have not been so Substantially
raised are under the new schedule the
same as paid in 1908.
T The two items which under the in.
crease remain the same as paid In
1903 "a mining and loading room
and rib coal, per 100 bushels, $1.35."
and drawing coke, per 100 bushels
charged, n cents" The increases in
all clara of work are from 8 to 12h
per cent and viii average little more
than 10 per cent. The company is
prompted to proffer the Increase on ac.
count OF the excellent conditions Of
the market, which promises ever bet.
ter things.
