INCREASED WAGE
t0A MINE WORKERS
Judge Gray Decides That Men
Are Entitled 10 Back Pay,

That electricians, electricians help
ers, watchmen, fire bosses, stable
bosses, engineers and other monthly
men in and about the Pennsylvania
anthracite mines are entitled to wage
advance of 10 per cent, dating from
the amended agreement in effect be-
tween the operators and their en-
ployees since 1912, has been decided
by ex-United States Judge George
Gray Of Wilmington, Del, as umpire
for the anthracite conciiation board.
The decision sustains the grievance
Of the stable bosses, engineers and fire
bosses of the Pancoast-Price Coal com
pany of Throop, LackaWanna county,
who got 51a per cent wage advance
In 1912, when the miners received 10
per cent under the contract which went
into effect that year.
Judge Gray rules that the agreement
embodied employees in and about the
mines, although prior to 1912 many of
the monthly hands had not been con
sidered subject TO the 1912 award OF
the strike commission named by Pres
ident Roosevelt The company CON
tended that the wages OF these men
had gone up through voluntary grants
from $50 to 500 a month In the last
thirteen years, but Judge Gray rules
that despite this they must be paid the
10 per cent increase. This means back
pay to the extent of $500 to some Of
the workers.
Electricians and their helpers, watch
men and other monthly employees of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Coal company are given 10 per
cent advance in second decision In

ply to the Delaware, Lackawanna and

Many of the men benefited by the
decisions were not identified with the

Poultry Improvement Club
Holds Rousing Meeting
Monday Night.

The adjourned meeting of the
Christian County Poultry Improve
ment Association Monday night was
rousing one and enthusiasm ran
high A dozen or more new mem
bers we're present and the plans of
the organization committee were
enthusiastically approved.
State Agents Godfrey Morgan and
Gordon Nelson were present and
Mr.. Morgan was much pleased with
the steps taken and said he expected
great things from the organization.
Speeches were made by Godfrey
Morgan, A. M. Casey, B. G. Nelson,
DR.. c. H. Tandy. DR.. j. P. Keith,
t. j. Baugh, B. d. Hill, j F. Mason
and Hon. M. 0. Hughes, of Bowling
Green. Norman Mellon brought a
trio of his white Wyandottes and
they were placed on a table and
their good points explained by Mr..
Morgan. Many people dropped in
during the proceedings to admire
the beautiful fowls.
Mr.. Casey was directed to notify
the agricultural department that at
least 100 settings of eggs would be
needed.
1t was explained that the poultry
clubs would be organized only in
counties having lady agent, as the
county agents would be kept busy
on other matters. Mrs. Graves, the
lady agent, is employed for only a
part of her time, the fiscal court
paying 5000, the school board $50
and the government $3.50 of her sal
airy of $500 for the canning club
work. With these amounts doubled
she could be employed all of her
time and begin at once the poultry
club work in advance of the coming
season. A committee composed of
Chas. M. Meacham, B. d. Hill, DR..
j. P. Keith, and DR.. c. H. Tandy was
appointed to go before the Fiscal
court the next day and ask for the
appropriation of 5000. After an in
teresting speech by Mr.. Hughes,
who complimented the spirit of CO.
operation in this county between
city and county, which he said was
appreciated all over the state, the
meeting adjourned.
