man Co. has not been guilty of many
salary increases in its past SO years.
Some of their increases have been
jokes.
AS the industrial relations commits
sion's hearing in Chicago was cut
short the evidence produced was
hardly gone into on the employees
side, but have no doubt that most of
it will go into the record turned over
to congress.
If Frank P. Walsh is successful in
having all the evidence brought be-
fore the commission made public it
will serve as an eye-opener to many
congressman who represent the
deer peepul."
Petition after petition has been
sent to the officials of the Pullman
Co. for an increase in pay by the
car service men, only to be ignored,
and business conditions were much
better then than in the year 1915.
Mr. Lincoln in his testimony said
he thought the conductors should
have an increase in pay-a small in
creaSe-and that the porters' wages
had always been an annoyance to
him. Mr. Hungerford said a con-
ductor's duties were much the same
as passengers, to just ride. That
was not difficult, yet always found
that 1 had plenty to do on the runs
| worked on.
The conductors working the first
six months will now get SIT. 1t will
cost them from $25 to $50 per month
to live on the road away from home;
their families will have from SAT to
$50 per month to live on. Does it
not look to you as if their chauffeurs
would not get their pay promptly.
The porter, whose remuneration
so annoyed Bobby L., was increased
$2.75 per month. There are some
exceptions to the above, but they are
not in the majority.

THE WHITE-COLLARED CLASS.
The unfriendly feeling which exists
between different groups of workers
was recently brought to my atten-
ton by a man who in my presence
unloaded his opinion of an Office
worker. Being an Office worker, I
might have felt peeved had not had
an understanding of the causes of
such ill-feeling. My acquaintance
with both sides probably saved me
hospital bill.
The person was not extremely fond
of office workers and believe he ex-
pressed the sentiment of most work.
ers, particularly organized workers.
l believe the burden of fault for this
condition can be laid at the door of
the office worker.
Most Office workers think they
have nothing in common with other
workers. In practically every labor
dispute they line up with the en-
ployer. If not actually assisting the
boss, they are sympathetic. They
cannot see where organization is of
any advantage although they receive
on an average but about half the
wages of organized labor Office
workers also incur enmity by their
assumed dignity and imagined SUI,
periority.
Labor is learning that individual
effort is of little value in obtaining
better wages and working conditions
from highly-organized capital 1t is
learning that the best way to beat the
other fellow is to play his own game
organize industrially and political
ly.
Office workers still believe that

increase to that amount. There are
some runs that pay 500 per month
while a conductor is on that partic-
ular run, but as soon as taken off he
goes back to his old schedule.
1t is always gratifying to note an
increase in employees salaries, but
let us not look at it in the light of
too much generosity, but rather see
if it is not for other reasons.-R. w.

Marathon, Tex, May 9.-Seven of
the Americans captured by Mexican
raiders at Glenn Springs, overpow-
cred their guards and escaped to the
American side, bringing with them
three of their Mexican guards as cap
tives.
The Americans who escaped arrived
here on horses, obtained from Sher.
iff Walton's possee, to whom they
turned over their Mexican prisoners.
LIT. Col. Alvarez is one of the Mexi-
can prisoners. Negotiations are now
proceeding, asking for the release Of
the Americans, Deemer and Payne,
in exchange for the Mexican trio.
The Americans effected their es.
cape when the motor truck wherein
they were riding stalled below the
border. Aiding in pushing the truck
out of the mire they assaulted their
guards, oyerpowering and disarming
them.
The Americans are Hasbrouck and
