Bonus Boosts Payroll

The last Southern Pacific payday
i'll Sparks was a big one, owing to
the distribution of the first half of
the 10 per cent bonus in addition
to the regular payroll. The bonus
increases the amount paid in Sparks
by about $4,000 and makes the
total payroll about $4,000. The
bonus is computed on a basis of
10 per cent of the wages earned
during 1916 and is paid to en-
ployes having no wage agreement
with the company, who have been
in the service two years or over
