63 CENTS AN HOUR
TO RAILROAD SHOPMEN
Increase Dates Back to January 1.
Near 100 Millions Go to
About 10000 Men.

Wages of railroad shopmen were
Increased to 6s cents an hour yester-
day by Director General McAdoo, with
proportional advances for assistants
and miscellaneous classes in mechani-
cal departments
The new rates, which are retroac-
tive to last January 1, are from 5 to
10 cents an hour higher than wages
paid these men in most shops under
the general wage advance allowed
two months ago by the director gen
eral, but are somewhat less than the
labor organizations sought. Begin
ming August l eight hours will be
recognized as a standard working day
and overtime. Sundays and holiday
work will be paid at the rate of one
and one-half times the usual rate.
Back pay will be given the men as
soon as it can be calculated.
The advances apply to about 500.-
900 men and apply fatty to all sec
tions of the country, despite local diff
ferences prevailing heretofore. The
addition to the aggregate annual pay
roll is estimated as nearly 100000
900. The advance is the first extensive
modification of the new wage scale
and was made on recommendation OF
the commission of railroad wages and
working conditions, following repre-
sentations of shop crafts that high
wages paid machinists and other me-
chanical workers in shipyards resulted
in discrimination against railroad shop
employees.

CONTEST IN NEBRASKA
FOR SENATE SPIRITED
Humorous Candidates for Both the
Republican and Democratic
Nominations.

With announcement of the candi-
dacy Of former Representative David
H. Mercer of Omaha for the republi-
can nomination for the United States
senatorship. the senatorial contest in
Nebraska promises to be a very lively
affair. The field. in both parties, now
bristles with formidable candidates
for the nomination, to be determined
at the primaries August 20.
George w. Norris, republican in
cumbent, is candidate for renomina-
ton. The honor will be contested by
Mr.. Mercer, by Ross L. Hammond of
FreepoS. Representative Charles H
Sloan of Geneva, and ex-Mayor Mad
gett of Hastings.
Seek Democratic Nomination.
Candidates for nomination on the
democratic ticket will be Richard L.
Metcalf. the Omaha editor; former
Gov. j. H. Moorhead Of Falls
City. Attorney General Willis Reed
of Madison, Edgar Howard of Column
bus, and William Price of Lincoln.
Mr.. Howard is expected to have the
backing of William j. Bryan.
In both parties the test of the con-
test is expected to be loyalty in
support or the war and the admins
tration. Some of the candidates in
each party are charged with having
rather shaky records on 100 per cent
support of the war spirit of the ma
ton, and their opponents are going to
raise the issue without mercy.
Make Strong Loyalty Claims.
Among the democratic candidates
Mr.. Metcalf and Mr.. Reed claim to
have strong records for loyalty. Mr..
Metcalf has been outspoken and Wig
orous in his attacks upon the pro-
German element in the state. and
Attorney General Reed has also pur
sued a vigorous course.
Ross L. Hammond is classed as an
uncompromising supporter of the
war from the outset. while Mr.. Mer-
Ger, in his activities as counsel for
the state council of defense, received
q commendatory resolution from that
body
Mr.. Mercer served five terms in the
House and was chairman Of the
