Situation.

Washington, d. G., May 9.-An adj
vance in wages to 1889 399 railroad
employees, and ranging from 1 per
cent to the highest to 43 per cent to
the lowest paid. aggregating $500. OOO,-
600 is provided for in the report to
Director General McAdoo by the rail-
road wage commission.
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 adj
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-
" 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

railroad arrangements before govern

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
liz 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-
ton as to sex or race.

The report Of the commission, con-

of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.

At the outset, 1t was seen that there
were grave inequalities in the rates Of
wages paid. But who could say what

why should an engineer receive $17O
per month and telegraph operator
