THEY EXPECT BACK PAY
Railroad Employees Of the Country
Expect Large Sums in Back
Pay Soon

Many employees Of railroads who
live in Baxter and this district will
receive an increase in salary dating
from January /, 1918, II the recon-
mendations of a railway wage COM
mission appointed by W. G. McAdoo,
director general Of railroads, are
What Mr.. McAdoo believes they will
be. The proposed increase effects all
railroad employees in the United
States whose salaries were not in
creased January l.
Mr.. McAdoo has sent the following
circular to railroad men Of Baxter:
Shortly after control Of the rail-
roads of the United States was as
sumed by the government appoint
ID a wage commission to make a
borough investigation Of the wages
paid to all railroad employees, wheth-
er members of labor organizations
or not. / announced that if, as re-
suit Of that investigation, an in
crease of wages was made by the
lirector general, such increase would
become effective as of January /,
1918.
"The task confronting the wage
commission was greater in magnitude
Than any task Of similar character
ever undertaken. The commission
Immediately applied itself to the work
with great energy and with unre-
hitting labor to a study Of the large
and complex problems involved. In
matters Of such magnitude adequate
time is essential to intelligent consid-
Grafton and wise conclusions.
"The commission has informed me
t expects to submit its report on my
return to Washington upon the con-
clusion of the present Liberty Loan
campaign May a. / shall promptly
review the report of the commission
and render a decision upon its find
'ngs and recommendations. Mean
while, no employees interest is being
hurt or prejudiced, because whatever
increases may be granted will have
accumulated in the form of savings
and will not have been spent in the
meantime as might otherwise have
been the case.
81 hope that every railroad en-
ploye in the United States will lend
all the money he can, consistent with
his individual circumstances, to his
government by buying Liberty Bonds.
hey pay AZ per cent interest per
lnnum and are the safest investment
n the world-as safe as the money
# the United States and safer than
deposits in banks. In lending your
money to the government you not
only save the money yourselves, but
lou help every gallant American SOL
dier and sailor who is fighting in this
war now to save your lives and lib
critics and to make the world safe for
democracy"

Tax Is Costing From SIS to
SIS Per Month Now

the people hardest hit by war taxes.
E. M. Mitchell, a Military Avenue
jeweler, says that it is now costing
him from SIS to S25 per month for
war tax nearly all of which is on
standard priced jewelry that he can
not raise on. The tax is added to his
bill and he must pay it on receipt Of
the goods. He says that some of the

not buying more Liberty Bonds. He
says he already has bought liber-
ally of bonds and with his heavy
taxes cannot take more at this time
