UP TO M'ADOO FOR APPROVAL
Commission Submits Report to the ri.
rector General, Dealing With Va
rious Phases Of the Railroad
Situation.

Washington, d. G., May 9.-An ad-
vance In wages to 1,939,399 railroad
employees, and ranging from 1 per
cent to the highest to 43 per cent to
the lowest paid, aggregating $500 ,OOO,-
U Is provided for in the report to
Director General McAdoo by the rail-
road wage commission.
Mr.. McAdoo is expected to adopt
only part of the recommendations and
probably will make a number of diff
ferent alignments in deciding what
wage Increases shall be granted.
In general, the director general adj
vocates higher pay for most classes of
workmen to enable them to meet in
creased living costs, but he has been
represented as favoring proportionate-
ly larger increases for some classes
than for others now making the same
pay. BE also is strongly opposed to
granting wage increases which might
d%isarrange the general scheme of pay
existing throughout other industries.

railway br~otherhoods found on ex-

ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had beer for an average or
somewhat less than 40 per cent anu
Increases for them average less than
20 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that he commissions recommends
lions would not he for as great
amounts as they had asked already
have appealed TO Director General NC
Adoo TO amend the proposed scale TO
give them higher pay. Others now
ever. virtually have agreed to accept
the report.
The wage advances, which range all
the way fpom 81 to $34 a month"; are
increases above the amount or pay
each employee was receiving on De
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that late wli
benefit now to the extent of the diner
once between their present wage ana
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional pay
TO the railroads is estimated at sZoo,-
900, 900. This is exclusive OF the esu-
mated deficit of $S00,0OO.OOO In govern
ment operation of the railroads TINS
year, as a result of which director
General McAdoo contemplates al
yancing passenger rates at least 21s
per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as IS per cent.
Based on Living Cost.
The scheme of wage advances ADOPT
ed is based on an inquiry into the
cost of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad EN-
nloyee receiving $S5 a month.
The commission favors a shorter

uation has been made by the simple
application of supply and demand,
which is in turn now varied, affected.
and modified by those limitations arts
ing out of the artificial but necessary
and historic methods of collective bar
gaining.
Nevertheless, there stands out one
dominating fact, recognized by rail-
road workers as well as by railroad
ofiicials-that the lower grades of
railroad employment, those in which
the supply of labor has been less re-
strlcted, and where organization has
been difficult, II not impossible. de-
serve wage increases out of proportion
to the increases for those in superior
grades.
IAN unprecedented call had come for
men of certain trades in connection
with the new Industries that had been
created by the war In Europe, and this
long before our entry into the conflict.
Machinists and iron workers of all
kinds found themselves to be essential
to the great munition plants and day
labor of the most unskilled character
rose into high demand.
Cut of Those Not Needed.
"The commission recommends that
during the period of government o n
duct of the railroads no salaries paid
to officials who are not essential to
the operation of the roads shall be
charged as part of the operating ex-
penses.
"There should be constituted a trl-
bunal or tribunals to continue the
study of railroad labor problems. COM

average workday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that In the war
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes OF
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, a road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase of
liz per cent in his mileage rate. A
scheme of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
An important feature of the report
was the recommendation that where
the same service is rendered the pay
hall be the same, without discrimina-
ton as to sex or race

the report says:
"The requests which have come to-
us for wage increases, would, If fully
granted, involve an additional outlay
in wages of somewhat over 81 100000
600 per year in excess of the wage fund
Of last year, which exceeded $1,000,
100000. Some asked for an increase
of 100 per Eel in their pay. and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
ITO classify the many hundreds of
%employments in which the 100000
railroad workers engage would be a
task calling for more time, skill, in
sight, and knowledge than We possess.
At the outset, 1t was seen that there
were grave Inequalities in the rates of
wages paid. But who could say what
relationship each class of employees
should bear to the other? Abstractly.
why should an engineer receive $170
