WAGES RAISE RATES.
Increases in Rates Made to Meet
Advanced Wages.

New York, May 13.-On account Of the
increased cost of operation, due largely
to the wage increases given their en-
pIoyes, the railroads now are planning
rate raises In this connection it is in
teresting to note just what the recent
advances mean financially to the rail-
roads.
The recent increases affect Is sys-
TENS. The Baltimore e. Ohio was the
first one to make a settlement, then
came the Pennsylvania, and last
Thursday the final decision was an
nounced in the cases involving the New
York Central lines. This decision is
binding on many other roads which
agreed to abide by the result of the
arbitration. In western sections, the
machinists have obtained many in
creases in wages.
The increases in wages already grant
ed on Is lines involves a total increase
in the pay rolls Of the system amount
100000 in round numbers, will go to the
trainmen, yard men and conductors.
The remainder will be applied to other
classes of labor.
This amount later may be augmented
by the Pennsylvania. The employees,
while having received a horizontal in
crease Of per cent, demand an aver
age of 10 per cent Should this be
granted it win swell the increases on
the Pennsylvania to $13,000,000.
The machinists on the southwestern
lines have secured concessions which
will add at least 81 LOCO. 900. Definite fig
ures on these are as yet unobtainable
This remarkable number and amount
of increased wages, granted in a little
over a month on $4,000 miles Of railway.
demonstrates the superiority Of method
over force. Few If any of the railroad
officials or trainmen would have con-
sidered it possible for the trainmen to
succeed in their purpose to such an ex-
tent without strike or show OF force
of some nature. That they have done
so demonstrates the fact that the day
of railroad strikes is disappearing fast.
