Nearly Two Million Will
Get Share in Pay Increase
of $500, 900, 600 a Year

Nearly two million employees of rail-
roads will receive pay increases, be-
ginning Saturday and retroacting
from last January 1. as the result
Of an order by Director General Nc
Adoo. The order carries out, for the
most part, the recommendations of
the railroad wage commission.
The increases will aggregate more
than s3oO.000,o0o a year; and about
half this amount will be distributed
In the next few weeks as back pay
to nearly 5000 per employe.
Departures From Recommendations
In the following. particulars the
director general departed from the
recommendations of the wage COM
mission:
The principle Of the basic eight
hour day is recognized, but owing to
exigencies of the war situation, hours
Of employment are not actually re-
duced and overtime is to be paid pro
rata; future adjustments of pay are
to be made on the basis of eight hours.
In addition to the ordinary scale
of Increase. day laborers employed
mainly on track work are to get at
least 2h cents an hour more than
A minimum OF IS cents an hour is
established for the shop trades, includ-
ing machinists. boiler makers and black
smiths.
Women are to receive the same pay
as the men for the same work. and
negroes are to get the same as white
men for similar employment.

the man.
Back pay due under the retroactive
increases will be sent to any man who
has been dismissed from the rail-
road service since January l. or who
not to an employe who quit volun-
tarily.
An important principle contained in
the director generals order is that
reductions in hours since 1915 are
not to be regarded as Increases In
pay. This means that employees Of
the four brotherhoods affected by the
Adamson act are to receive additions
on top of the increases developed by
that act.

Board Of Wages and Conditions.

To work out a multitude Of inequali-
ties of pay among employees doing
similar work in difficult localities and
other in5ustices caused by varying rules
ganization. the director general created
new board Of railroad wages and
working conditions consisting Of three
labor representatives and three railway
executives. which will conduct extensive
Investigations and recommend wage and
other employment changes.
The wage order applies to all employees
Of the 164 roads now under federal
management. but not to the so-called
the government after July /. It af-
fects employees Of terminal. union sta
tion and switching companies. lighters.

Although Pullman cars now are under

ministration decides eventually to retain
management Of the cars.

Tells Labor That Soldiers and
Sailors Will Dominate in
Civil Life.

/ INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2. - Discussing
what he believes will be the conditions
IN this country after the war. Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, declared
here to-day that the soldiers and sailors
when they return to civil life will con-
troll America for the next generation. He
said he believed the conditions after
peace will be far different from those of
pre-war times. Expressing an opinion
that the people will try for a worldwide
commerce, the Secretary continued:
They will be less concerned as to
whether this is by public or private own
ership than with securing and enlargng
worldwide commerce. The odds are that
they will see In Government ownership
and direction the best agency, but they
will discard that II private ownership
1nsures the best results.
"They will never return to duplica-
tion Of railroad transportation and COM
petition in terminals and facilities All
the benefits which Government operation
of railroads has given will be continued.
whether the railroads are In public or
private ownership. The telegraph and
telephones probably will be a permanent
part OF tho postal system. though the
men who will rule America will be open
minded enough to discuss the best
method OF communication"

celebration here, following a parade in
which thousands OF laboring men
