IRON MOUNTAIN GIVES SHOPMEN
 h|GHE:R WAGES
Cotton Belt Expected to Abide by Decision of Ma
 jority of Roads.

Members of tho several crafts en- ployed at the Cotton Belt shops here are showing considerable interest in the progress of the negotiations be- tween representatives of the men and officials of the railroad, over the de mands made some months ago for higher rate of pay and for changes in working conditions.
 All the railroads in the West re- ceived demands of this nature from the shop employees at about tho same time, and there have been two con ferences between representative Of the unions and of the companies, with nothing definite announced as Il result, so far as can be ascertained.
 It is known that several of tue Western railroads have already made announcement of increases in pay to their shop employees, this action hav- ing been taken by these roads inde- pendent of the Kansas City confer ences. The Cotton Belt, it is under stood, has taken no such action, and will likely abide by the dec sion of the representatives of the bulk of the Western roads, in the matter.
 It is understood that several of the
 
 highest officers of the national or ganizations of the shop employes are to make visit to Pine Bluff ana oth- CT central points on the Cotton Belt in the near future, if they have not already started their trip over the line, but this could not be definitely learned from any of the local union members yesterday or Tuesday.
 Raise on Iron MOuntain.g
 That the shop men of the slron Mountain have obtained increases in pay is shown in the following from the Argenta correspondence of tha Little Rock Gazette of yesterday:
 "Employes of the crafts of the loco motive department of the 5, Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain railroad, have received official notice of an increase in wages, effective the middle of Nc, vember Representatives of the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-11-02

crafts who have been in conference with officials of the railroad at St. Louis for some time have returned to Argenta.
 Under the new wage scale machin- ists and boilermakers will receive an increase of ? 1a cents an hour, and ike black smiths, 3 cents. The scale of carmen under the new contract will range from 221s cents an hour to 37 F cents an hour. Their in- crease, in almost all kinds of work done by them, is in proportion with workers increase is 3 cents an hour. A Scent raise also is given helpers"

FRENCH LOSSES 10000.
German Estimate Of Casualties
Around Verdun.

German Estimate Of Casualties
Around Verdun.
The French losses in killed and
wounded in the fighting around Yer
dun, says the Overseas news agency
at Berlin, are computed to have
reached up to the present time to-
tai of 10000 officers and men, or
about four army corps.
The news agency continues: "Ac-
cording to a correspondent from the
front, the French authorities are
spreading reports regarding heavy
German losses before Verdun. 1t is
said that one battalion of chasseurs
lost 1876 men, that is to say, about
its total number 1t is also reported
that 18th army corps lost 1900
officers and men in storming the vii
lage and fortress of Vaux. This corps
never participated in the fighting for
the village or the fortress of VauX.
The French calculate the German
losses at the round figure of 100000
The German casualties happily have

among the casualties is a great per
centage of men who were only slight.
ly wounded. The number of prison
ers taken by the French is signi
fcant, as the only soldiers captured
by them were some who were too
bold and advanced far beyond their
goal
"As the French are steadily retreat
ing they must, OF course give mag
mary figures. The Germans, on the
other hand. have for seven weeks
been burying dead Frenchmen on the
battlefield. and rescuing French
wounded, so they are able to compute
figures regarding the French losses
which are calculated to have reached
100000 or four army corps"
