RAIL WAGE INCREASE
1885, 399 EMPLOYEES WILL BENE-
FIT BY RATE BASED ON COST
OF LIVING.
AWAITS M'AD00's APPROVAL
Exhaustive Report of Commission Civ
en- to Director General-Protest
From Brotherhood Leaders
Scale of Increases.

Washington, d. c., May 9.-Wage ad-
vances to 1889, 800 railroad employees,
ranging from l per cent to the highest
up to 43 per cent to the lowest paid
workers, and aggregating $30O,0O0,OO0,
are made public in an exhaustive re-
port by the railroad wage commission
to Director General McAdoO.
Mr.. McAdoo is expected to adopt
only part of the recommendation and
probably will make number of diff
ferent alignments In deciding what
wage increases shall be granted.
In general, the director general ad-
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-
Iy larger increases for some classes
than for others now making the same
pay. He also is strongly opposed to
granting wage increases which might
disarrange the general scheme of pay
existing throughout other industries.
Leaders to Protest.
The leaders of the four principal
railway brotherhoods found on ex-
aiming the report that they had
been recommended for less than half
the increases they had asked of the
railroad arrangements before govern
ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had been for an average of
somewhat less than 40 per cent, and
increases for them average less than
20 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that the commissions recommends
lions would not be 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, how
ever, virtually have agreed to accept
the report.
The wage advances, which range all
the way from 81 to $34 month, are
increases above the amount of pay
each employee was receiving on De
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent of the differ
ence between their present wage and
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional pay
TO the railroads is estimated at $780,
100000. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit of SS00,G00,000 in govern
ment operation of the railroads this
year, as a result of which Director

Under the above heading the Detroit

''The theory is that soldiers whose feet

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-
ployee receiving $50 a month.
The commission favors shorter
average workday. presumably eight
hours, but decided that in the war
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes Of
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase of
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
shall be the same, without discrimina-
ton as to sex or race.
Report of Commission.
The report of the commission, con-
sisting of Franklin K. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles G. McChord,
J. Harry Covington, and William r.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In part
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, 900 ,0OO,-
900 per year in excess of the wage fund
of last year, which exceeded $1,000,
100000. Some asked for an increase
of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
"An 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 Off Those Not Needed.
"The commission recommends that
during the period of government con-
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 tri-
bunal or tribunals to continue the
study Of railroad labor problems, COM
posed in part at least of men expert
enced in this kind of work, for con-
ditions are ever changing"
