Scale Of Increases.

Washington, D. c.. May 9.-Wage ad-

ranging from 1 per cent to the highest
up to 43 per cent to the lowest paid
workers, and aggregating 10000. 900.
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 recommendations 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-
ly 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-
amining the report that they had
been recommended for less than half
the Increases they had asked of the
railroad managements 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 recommenda-
tions 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 wny from 81 to S34 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,
900 900. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit of $500, 900. 600 in govern
ment operation OF the railroads this
year, as a result of which Director

Based on Living Cost


The scheme of wage advances adopt
ed is based on an inquiry into the
cost Of living. which the commission

ployee receiving SS5 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
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, road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase Of
11A 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
shall be the same. without discrimina-
tion rs to sex or race.

OF 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
IAN unprecedented cnll had come for
men of certain trades in connection

labor of the most unskilled character
rose into high demand.
Cut OF 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.

OGDEN STOCK MARKET.
M g q

The Ogden livestock market main
tanned it's price for hogs at $1,000 dur
ing the past week despite the general
heavy receipts for summer months,
and even Increased slightly for top
prices on several days OF the past
week. with such a record maintained
for June. livestock commission men at
the Ogden Union Stock yards antici-
pate that there win be generally good
prices throughout the summer.
The minimum price for hogs has
been set at 1880 on the Chicago ba-
sis. which would be approximately
si45o in Ogden. yet there is no doubt
that the market conditions will remain
such that minimum prices will not be
reached. Increasing demand for pork
to be shipped oversees as well as
greater distribution OF western pro-
ducts throughout the United States
warrant the opinion that intermouns
tain pork win continue to find ready
sale
Quotations on cattle at the Ogden
Yards have dropped considerably dur
