Mr.. Bryan must have been conscious

ern Railroad Company. During the
month OF October the company issued
pay checks to 1920 men In this city.
This Included all shop men, trainmen.
and In fact all local employees. These
men received checks Of varying sizes.
OF course. Engineers received as high
as 5000 per month, and conductors $l40
or $3.50. So an average of $40 per
month Is very acknowledgements
falls short OF the real average. which
would be difficult to obtain
However. taking $40 as the average
monthly wage. the yearly wage expen-
diture in Clinton amounts to just ST.
612,800. And a large part OF this big
sum remains in Clinton. too--much OF
1t being kept in circulation.
The new car shops OF tho North
western bring larger increase Of ad-
ditional men employed than the new
machine shops, tho the latter represent
much larger expenditure. In 1903
the highest number OF men employed
In the Clinton car shops in any month
was 95. Last month the number was
400, and tins daily payroll was $3.50.
Clinton may well consider herself
fortunate In being identified with the
great railroad company in a way which
brings such material results Few cit
les in the west enjoy such splendid
asset as Clinton has in the Chicago e.
Northwestern railroad.
