pany, which controls the local street
car system, to be held the latter part
OF September, he would present the
local carmen's request and would ad.
wise a slight wage increase. He said
if the directors authorized an increase
it would become effective before Oct
ober g.
A general increase of two cents
an hour would establish scale rang
ing from p to 25 cents. The local
carmen, it is said, would be satisfied
with such scale
Wage Scale is Low
Richmond carmen average between
nine and nine and half hours work
per day. Under the suggested new
scale the minimum pay per day would
be $l.89, the maximum (9h hours)
$233.
In addressing the men, it is said,
Mr.. Jeffries said he appreciated the
attitude they had assumed in refrain.
ing from making demand upon the
company for a wage increase. 1t is
also reported that Mr. Jeffries said
the wage scale increase provided for
indianapolis employees had not salts
fled the men and that another street
car strike in the capital city some
time in October was anticipated.
Union Project Failed
The last wage scale increase for
local carmen was provided about two
years ago following a brief strike
which tied up street car traffic only
few hours. At that time an effort
was made to organize street car en-
ployes union but this failed, the men
agreeing to submit their demands for
scale increase to the governors
board of arbitration.
Mr. Jeffries was informed by spokes-
men for the local employees at the
meeting yesterday that it was almost
to keep their families
under the existing scale because of
the constantly increasing cost of
living
