North Bank Employees
VIII Receive More Paw

The unorganized employees of the
North Bank lines are among those re-
joicing over the prosperity of the rail
roads as President Gilman has recent
ly made official announcement that the
pay envelopes viii be materially larger
at the end of January.
The increases in Nalary is voluntary
on the part of the companies as no de-
mands have been made. This action,
President Gilman said, has been under
consideration for some time and was
brought about in recognition of the fact
that thu. higher cost of living has work
ed a hardship on many families.
The new schedule Of pay begins with
those receiving the lowest salaries. The
higher paid officials and the organized
classes of workers will not come in on
the increase as the roads already have
working agreements with them. A large
per centage of the employees had already
received wage increases during the year
and the present increase will effect es-
pecially office employees and those work
ing in the operative and mechanical de-
partments.
