VOLUNTARY INCREASE BY

Paw For Its Workmen Advanced'.lo We
Wage Men Profiting Most''|n
Effect Feb. |.

w. ]. Olcott, president of the Oil
yer Iron Mining company, which sub
sidiary organization has been most
affected by the increase in wages an
nounced by the Steel corporation, is
authority for the statement that the
increase for surface labor went into
effect February l, last Saturday. Ali
establishments Of the wage scale OF
employees of the Oliver company have
not as yet been made, but almost
every classification will benefit, and
in a short time the results OF the con-
ferences of the presidents OF sub
sidiary companies will be announced.
The laborers, however, are the
ones who will benefit chiefly, the
Oliver company believing that with
the increase in the cost of living
their wages were too small and il
was decided that they should be
given the greatest advance. Follow
ing is the statement issued from Mr.
Olcott's office:
beginning February l, the
Oliver Iron Mining company
will make a voluntary readjust-
ment of wages. The rates for
surface labor will be advanced
q n lo1
There will be adjustments
of the rates in other classical
tons of labor, both surface and
underground, it being the pur-
pose to give the highest per-
centage Of increase to the lower
paid employees.
