SHOPMEN GET
WAGE INCREASE
New Scale Is Made Public by
Director General
McAdoo

Washington, July 25.-Wages of
railroad shopmen were increased to
siXty-eight cents an hour yesterday
by Director General McAdoo, with
proportional advances for assistants
and miscellaneous classes in mechan-
ical departments. The new rates,
which are retroactive to last Janu-
airy 1, are from five to thirteen cents
an hour higher than wages paid
these men in most shops under the
general wage advance allowed two
months ago by the director general,
but are somewhat less than the
labor organizations sought.
Beginning August 1 eight hours
Will be recognized as a standard
working day. and overtime, Sundays
and holiday work will be paid for 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,-
600 men. and apply flatly to all sec
uons of the country, despite local
differences prevailing heretofore.
The addition to the aggregate annual
payroll is estimated at nearly $780,
100000. The advance is the first ex-
tensive modification of the new wage
scale and was made on recommen-
dation of the Commission on Rail-
road Wages and Working.
The New Scale
Conditions, following representa-
tions of shop crafts that high wages
paid machinists and other mechan-
ical workers in shipyards resulted in
discrimination against railroad shop
employees.
The new scale of wages was an
nounced a sfollows:
Machinists, boilermakers, black
smiths, sheet-metal workers, molders
and first-class electrical workers,
sixty eight cents an hour.
Car men and second-class elec-
trical workers, fifty-eight cents an
hour.
Helpers, forty-five cents an hour.
Foremen paid on hourly basis,
five cents an hour more than re-
spective crafts.
Foremen paid on monthly basis

$155, and maximum, $3.50.
New rates are retroactive to jan

REV. GEORGE w. HARTMAN
In active war work, the Rev. Mr.
Hartman several months ago de-
cided to lay down active personal
duties to engage likewise in simi-
lar duties. Application was accord
ingly made for enrolment for the
more arduous duties of Y. NJ. C. A.
secretary on the war-torn fields of
France.
Notice of his acceptance for these
duties was received to-day by the
Rev. Mr.. Hartman and the furlough
was Just granted by his congrega-
ton He will leave Harrisburg for
New York City on August 5, after
which he will be sent to Silver Bay,
n. Y. for training.
Prepared For Work
Previous experience especially
we'll fits the Rev. Mr.. Hartman for
his new duties. Prior to entering
the active ministry, he had been
for five years physical director of
Franklin and Marshall College, Lam
caster, and this experience will
stand him in good stead when he
gets to France.
The Rev. Mr.. Hartman is a grad
uate of Franklin and Marshall Col
lege and of the Eastern Theological
seminary of the Reformed Church,
also of that city. His first pastoral
charge was st. Johns Reformed
Church, Orwigsburg, where he spent
eight years before coming to Har-
r!sburg to spend eight years as one
of the city's most successful minis

meet the big demand for the socks,

be opened. these classes to be held
weekly. The classes will be on Fri

that the men will respond to the
call"
Competent Instructor
Mrs. John w. German, Jr., who is
to teach the new class, is instructor
of the classes for women She is
very enthusiastic over the possibili-
ties of the work. Considering the
standing of the Harrisburg chapter
ii is said that this chapter is the lone
example of men not aiding in op-
Grating the knitting machines. To
has been opened.
Mrs. John w. Reilly is in charge
of the sock knitting department. Her
approval was given to the PROPOSE
ton and she predicts that great
deal of work can be accomplished
with the aid of the men.
1t is surmised that the operation
of the knitting machines is but the
opening of number of Red Cross
activities for men. The work of the
male in home knitting has already
received warm praise from local
chapter officials.
The sock knitting machine is an
unique little device by which men
and women can machine-make
socks. An instructor at headquarters
related to a Telegraph reporter that
she had make eighty pairs of socks
during the past month in addition
to her instruction work. There is O
great possibility in the new plan,
was her comment.

ton in 1888.
Other branches of war activity
are also being filled by the Rev.. Mr..
Hartman's relatives. A sister-in-
law. Miss Mary Reed. has been serv-
ing as a Red Cross nurse in France

ing here to-day, that the anthracite
allotment will fall short by 0,000

have to be deducted from the
amount he had asked for domestic
purposes.

Offers Bishop Money
to Buy AeropIane

LOndOn.-A wealthy business man
offered to contribute a sum of money
large enough to supply one of the
missionary bishops of the Church of
England with an airplane. "I believe
this would enable the Bishop to visit
the outlying parts of his diocese with
much greater ease than at present"
said the writer.
The British Society for the Propa-
cation of the Gospel, in making ac-
acknowledgement of the offer, says
that, while it cannot at present ac-
cept the gift, it has no doubt that
within few years similar offers will
be accepted, "and in this way some

Nine Divisions of German
Reserves Rush to Front

London, July 25.-Nine divisions
of reserves from the army of Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and n
division from the eastern end of the
line have been rushed to the aid of
the German Crown Prince between
scissors and Rheims but, says Rem
ter's correspondent with the Amer
lean troops in France, the Germans
may well hesitate to push more
troops into the already crowded sa-
lient, seeing the difficulty they have
of feeding those already there.

German resistance on the south
ern sectors of the salient has been
reduced to mere shell. 1T is added,
and the enemy doubtlessly is con-
centrating efforts on keeping open
the northern outlets of the salient.
The allied drive toward Oulchy-le-
Chateau not only threatens the en-
emy communications with Fere-en-

the German troops around Epieds
