UNSKILLED men
Get WAGE BOOST
Burlington Railroad Announces
General Increase Soon to
Become Effective.
HAS BECOME NECESSITY
Plan of Importing Foreigners to Per-
form Work on Sections Has
Proven Unsatisfactory.

That every railroad employe on the
Burlington system is 10 be given an
increase in wages averaging 10 per
cent is the announcement made by
Chester W. Dawes, general counsel
for the road. The statement was
made in Washington at the rate hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission, and was one Of the argu-
ments used in support of the railroads
contention that an increase of freight
rates was necessary TO make the rail
roads pay out.
Within the last year all organized
trainmen and enginemen have been
granted increases in wages, running
from 10 to - percent. Not only
is this true of the Burlington but ev-
cry railroad in the country and the
announcement that the Burlington
will increase the pay of all employees,
organized or unorganized, Will proba-
bly, mean that all of the railroads in
the country will follow with an in
crease.
Such an increase would mean an
additional expenditure of several mil
lions OF dollars annually for the rail
roads of the west and the increase
will come TO the shop men, the freight
handlers and the section men.
MUST HAVE MEN.
This proposed increase of pay for
the unskilled labor on railroads has
become a necessity. For several
years the country has been prosperous
and railroads have found that Ameri-
can unskilled labor could go into the
factories of the country and make bet
ter wages than were offered them on
the section gangs and i'll the freight
houses of the railroads Especially
has this been true of the section men
who have been receiving all the way
from s1.35 TO $3.50 day on the rail
roads. When the roads have had any
construction work TO do they have Of
fered better wages and have paid I'M
skilled labor $50 and 50 a day.
Even at these prices labor has been
scarce.
IMPORTED LABOR.
The result has been that the railroads
of the west have resorted to the i'm
portation of Mexicans and Greeks to
work on the sections and these men.
living in boarding cars, have done the
NOIh- AZ pest tLlIs pan IDS btFli hi-
satisfactory and many OF them have
left the railroad camps as soon as
they realized that better wages could
be had elsewhere. Whatever the
cause of this move 10 Increase wages
all around the action of the railroads
will he good news to the laboring men
al large as il will establish new
standard of wages and will mean bet
ter wages for the laboring men in 9th
er lines. Mr.. Dawes did not say just
when the Increase is to go into effect,
but II is expected that il will come
with the opening of construction and
-opair work about April l. when ad-
4itional men will be needed on all of
Re railroads.
