pay due them on the recent wage re.

ing yard trainmen as the favored ones,
and checks varying from $50 to 500
are going out for back pay. The
Reading employees have been waiting
Tor some time for a settlement in
accordance with the recent decision of
the board of arbitrators
The men will now be paid on the
same basis of the road men, for hours

their new scale, which will give them
