MORE WAGES FOR
STATION AGENTS
PennSY Announces Increase
East Of PittSburg and
Erie

Directors Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road lines east OF Pittsburg and Erie
announced yesterday an adjustment in
the wages Of station agents and sta
ton forces which means an increase Of
10 1-2 per cent. 70 more than one-half
the total number Of these employees.
The increases will be effective dating
from February 1.
Additions 10 the payroll Of the Penn
sylvania as result of this adjustment
will amount to $37,22S every month, or
an annual increase OF about S446, ,736.
The advance viii be divided proper
tionately between the 10.994 station
agents and their assistants, including
the baggagemen, porters and general
helpers. Il represents an increase Of
6.3 per cent. over the wages now paid
this entire force and an advance Of 1875
per cent. in the wages Of 5471 employees
who are most directly affected by the
adjustment.
This is the second increase which the
Pennsylvania has given its employees
within the last two months On De-
.cember 1 last year It made a 10 per
cent. advance in the wages OF all en-
ployes who received less than $500 a
month. The advance. unlike the lat
est one. applied to all lines OF the COM
.pany's system both east and west Of
.Pittsburg A total Of $4,000 employees
we're affected by the December in
crease. which involved an addition OF
about s12.00O0o0 TO the different COM
panies, the Pennsylvania contributing
10 this fund about $500 600.
In 1902 the Pennsylvania awarded
an increase Of 10 per cent. to all en-
ployes receiving under 5000 a month
Thus the December readjustment was
equivalent to an addition Of 20 per cent
to the rates paid in 1902. The increase
announced yesterday brings up the
company's additions 20 its payrolls to
a total of nearly s12500 600 a year
