TRA|NMEN RECEIVE
S6.OOO.OOORAISE
IN SALARIES
Hundred Thousand Men Will
Share In Increase
ONE HALF OF DEMAND
Award Granted by Arbitration Board
Dates from October and Is for
One Year.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE long
lived controversy between rail
roads OF the East and their
conductors and trainmen over The lat
ter's demands for more pay ended
last night. The employees are grant
ed an increase in wages averaging Z
per cent and totaling s6,000,000 an
nually-about half of what they want
ed-from October l last, effective
for one year One hundred thou
sand men will share in the increase.
Thus ends, by arbitration under
the Newlands amendment to the Erd
man act, a controversy that threat
ened at one stage of its career TO tie
up by strike transportation by rail in
al states east OF the Mississippi river
and north of the Ohio, an area with
a population of $4,000, 600 The award
Of the arbitration commission. filed
late yesterday afternoon in the feG
eral district court, is binding ana fl
nal. To its terms, however. the two
board representative of the employ
es filed a minority report. and the
two representatives OF the Al rail
roads a dissenting opinion.
In reaching its award, the board
ruled mainly against the employees
on four out of five points submitted
by them as reasons why the increase
should be granted, and found for
them on the fifth-the increased cost
of living. Since 1909, when last an
increase was granted, the arbitra
tors found that the cost of living had
increased per cent. Certain minor
contentious embraced within the 9th
err four points also were conceded to
the employees. II was, therefore,
more than a coincidence that the in
creased granted in wages is exactly
the increase in the cost of living, as
outlined by documents introduced by
the employees to uphold their conten
ton. THE board does not found its
action entirely upon the increased
cost of living reads the award,
