RAILWAY MEN GET
INCREASE IN PAY
Cost of Living Basic Feature
of Settlement on East
ern Lines.

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE long
controversy between railroads of the
east and their conductors and trainmen
over the latter's demands for more pay
ended last night. The employees are
granted an increase i'll wages averaging
per cent and totaling 100000 annual
4y-about half of what they wanted-from
October / last, effective for one year.
About 100000 men will share in the in
crease.
Thus ends, by arbitration under the
NewIands amendment 10 the Erdman act,
controversy that threatened at one time
to tie up by a strike the transportation
facilities of all states east Of the Missis-
sppi river and north OF the Ohio. The
award of the arbitration commission. fled

court. is binding and final

The two Representatives Of the en-
ployes filed a minority report in addition
and the two representatives. Of the forty
one railroads a dissenting opinion.
IN reaching its award the board ruled
mainly against the employees on four out
! of five points submitted as reasons why
the increase should be granted and found
for them on the 1fth--the increased cost
OF living. Since 1909. when last an in
crease was granted the arbitrators found
the cost OF living has increased per
cent.
Certain minor contentious embraced
also We're conceded to the employees. 1t
was, therefore. more than q coincidence
that the increase granted is exactly the
increase in the cost of living, as outlined
by documents introduced by the en-
ployes.
THE board does not found its action

ing reads the award, a document OF
seventy-fve printed pages. though II

Without attempting TO standardize rates

The railroads contention that they must
either raise rates or cease raising wages
is dismissed by the arbitrators.

Decrease of Hazard.

The board directs the attention of the
interstate commerce commission to the
decrease OF hazard that follows the in
stallation OF steel cars, double tracking
and improved signals. On this point the
award says:
"All of these things cost in the aGgre-
gate all immense sum of money. Any
policy that would make It impossible for
the railroads to command this money
would be a profound misfortune to the
whole nation. The increased safety of
passengers is equally involved. This
board wishes to direct the attention OF
the country to its belief that railroad

Are we civilized? Are We, the cit

light of the twentieth century, fit to
enter into the circles of polite society
and to pass within the portals of
Christian churches there to demean

bcorish in our manners that the law
makers Of the state must be called
upon to say whether we are human or
not?
We occasionally pick up some news
print from one Of the cities of the
efCete east and read within its pages
a story of the wild and woolly west
and the daring abandon Of our men
and women while We smile with con-
tc,upt of the ignorance of the writer
who has ignorantly attempted to por-
tray western life and western habits.
We have read attacks upon the names,
the manners and the habits OF our
people written by ones who knew
nothing of the conditions or the hab-
. it's OF our people and passed their
senile vaporings, their personal at
tack and inuendos by with a shrug,
