700. Two more vessels of the same
class are completing and work has
been commenced on the "E'' class,
which will have n speed of 20 knots.
The increase in the size of all Eng
lands warships. from battleships TO
submarines. and the higher wages to
be paid the men is going to have an
appreciable effect on this years naval

tween the Colonies and Great Britain
and between England and America,

WILL PAY ON FIFTEENTH.
South Shore Employees to Get Their
Checks Ten Days Earlier.

T.. w. Allen, of Marquette, treasurer
OF the South Shore Railway company
has announced, that beginning next
month the company's employees here
after will be paid on the fifteenth OF
each month. instead of on the twenty
fifth. This decision was reached after
the officials had considered at some
length the advisability Of changing the
pay-days to suit the needs OF the men,
who desired 10 procure their money as
early as possible in the month.
There had been "A rumor for the last
two weeks or more that the South
shore hereafter would pay twice each
month. beginning in February. says
the Mining Journal. but Mr.. Allen de-
MES that any step in this direction
has been taken. The fifteenth of the
month has been chosen as pay day
merely because II is the most conven-
lent date on which the company can
meet the payroll between the first and
twenty fifth. The change will be "A
boon to all employees whose obliga-
tions are usually met at the first of
each month. On the other hand. IL.
case the company later decides to set
tie with it's employees every two weeks
lhe changes can then be made with
less difficulty The company is con-
tinually planning new methods and
discussing the merits of various pro-
posed changes, and the changing of
the date of the pay day is only one OF
"a number of ideas which may be put
in effect in the near future.
