 Take Higher Pay-Tinne Unehanged.
 An agreement has been reached be- tween the employees of the Standard Machinery company and Charles E. Wheeler, the. business manager and proprietor of the concern, whereby the machinists have taken the advance in wages in preference to a nine hour day. Several weeks ago the machin- ists asked for nine hours a day with the same pay. Mir: Wheeler told them at that time that if new contracts could 'eb arranged on the basis of ex- tra costs of production involved he would grant their request or allow an increase in pay. He stated that he would much prefer allowing them the wage advance to granting a reduction in the hours from ten to nine, provided new business could be secured at a profit to the concern that would en- able them to continue. The n1achinists have sensibly taken the increase and will continue to work 55 hours a week as heretofore.
