WAGE INCREASE
FUTURE DEMAND
Present Scale Under Eight
Hour Law Expire Janu-
ary 1; Higher Rates

Washington, d. c., Oct. 6. - An
other serious situation confronts the
railroads, as well as the government
on the question of wage rates foI
railroad employees, under plans being
formulated by the employees to
their pay.
on january I next the wage in
crease awarded the railroad employees
under the cover of an eight-hour
tingency ahead it is learned meet
ing of the railroad brotherhoods has
been scheduled for Ottawa, Canada
for October l6. At this meeting new
demands will be prepared for sub
initial to the railroads.
mands will represent an appreciable
advance over the wage rates now al
lowed, the increase possibly reaching
as high as thirty per cent.
Higher Rates Probable
No small apprehension is felt re-
action, the natural outcome being
that the railroad situation will again
be made acute. AS it will come when
the Nation is in the midst of war, its
Importance will exceed the situation
as presented when Congress last act
ed to prevent industrial disturbance
1t is believed most likely there will
be a concurrent movement toward in
creased pressure on the Interstate
Commerce Commission for higher
freight rates for the railroads, that
they may meet the enormously in
creased costs of operation and ma
terials. and be placed in a position
where they can at least confront
with some measure of complacency
the burden that would be added
should higher costs of wages be inn
posed by the demands of the brother
hoods.
