ONE CENT INCREASE
FOR TRACTION men
T. H., l and E. Announces a
New Wage Scale Effective
Since April l.

A new wage scale for motormen
and conductors working on Richmond
car lines was granted by the T. H. L.
& E. Traction company April 1, but
no announcement of the change was
sent to this city until this week. The
new scale provides an increase of
one cent an hour, which is less than
the employees asked for last February.
The hourly scale is now as follows:
First year men, 10 cents; second year,
20 cents; third year, 81 cents, fourth
year, % cents; fifth year an on %
cents.
Two years ago the first year men
were getting seventeen cents an hour,
and before that men started at sixteen
cents an hour. The men struck during
the winter on an eighteen cent scale
to start, and were promised better
wages to return to work.
Although the men were dissatisfied
with the delay in securing their raise.
they are pleased to learn that it start
ed April 1. They accept the one cent
raise as better than none at ALL.
There are now almost fifty men,
including extras and regular run men,
employed in the operation of the cars
here. Their wages will be increased
less than one dollar week. The
runs average nine and one-half hours,
starting at $50 in the morning and
ending at IL o'clock at night. with the
change of crews at 2:30 o'clock In the

said Mayor Robbins today.
The convention will be held at the
Denison hotel, and at the opening
meeting an address will be delivered
by Governor Ralston. IL is expected
the meeting will be attended by the
chief executives of many Indiana
cities. Mayor Bell in his letter to
Mayor Robbins, stated he was calling
the meeting at the suggestion of a
number of mayors.
zone of the important things that
should develop by the formation of an
Indiana Mayors organization is the
formulation of legislative program
to be presented to the next legisla-
ture," said Mayor Robbins. There
are numerous reforms which could be
introduced into the government of In
diana cities, and If the mayors of the
state would get behind such a re-
form program the legislature would
be influenced to take favorable ac-
ton on it."
Mayor Robbins is also of the opin-
ion that there are numerous things
municipal affairs, free discussion Of
which would be of great benefit to
the Hoosier executives.
