WAGE INCREASES.

Ottawa like other cities of simil
lar size has not been fortunate or un
fortunate enough to receive any of the
war contracts that have brought about
raise o. wages and salary in many
trades and industries, but she has EN-
joyed a steady growth. both from all
industrial and general business stand
point. She may be not as prosperous
as war towns, but when peace is sign
ed Ottawa will be doing business a;
the old stand and without any in
terruption because Of the suspension
Of munition orders.
A raise in wages is a welcome gift
to the laboring man, but when one
stops to think that such increase is
based upon war prosperity and every
dollars means the loss OF human
life it is a question whether such a
raise can in the smallest degree COM
pcnsate for the woe and misery
these few dollars of profit have caus-
cd.
The railroad managers are congrat-
ulting themselves upon their charity
and generosity in raising the wages
OF their unorganized help, but at the
same time can not refrain showing
its uncharitable motives for such in
creases.
Tho Railway Age says:
Among the most gratifying develop
ments In tho closing weeks OF the
year 1916 have been the distribution
by many of the more prosperous rail.
ways of the country Of substantial
bonuses to certain large classes OF
their employees. and many voluntary
increases In wages. In the aggregate
this distribution and these increases
OF wages have amounted to several
millions of dollars. The statements
which have been issued in connection
with them have set forth that they
have been made because the COM
panies have enjoyed a year of unusual
prosperity, and because there has been
an abnormal increase in the cost OF
living. In few cases has any part OF
the distribution been made to the
employees in train service. The rea-
sons are plain enough. In the first
place. the arrangements believe that
these classes of employees are being
paid all that they are entitled to re-
ceivc. In the second place, the year
has been one OF constant struggle be-
tween them and the companies, in
which the men have made exorbtant
demands, prepared to strike in spite Of
repeated offers of arbitration, and
forced legislation thru congress which
the arrangements regard as uncalled
for, unjust and undnly burtenGomc.
Even at the end OF the year the diff
ferences with them remain unsettled,
