One of our boys was seen on Xmas
day with a "big bottle wrapped

present-day conditions. In an effort
to do full justice to the trainmen and
in the confident hope that the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners will,
in it's decision, recognize the necessity
which impeled the action of the
company, the latter has decided to
put into effect as of June 3 next,
special rates of compensation to mo-

women conductors. which the COM

Covering the period of learning the

After the first six months and until

cents per hour
After five years, forty cents per
hour.
A minimum wage of $3.50 is as
sured every trainman who answers
all roll calls and performs such duties
as may be assigned.
To all persons entering the employ
of the company for the first time, an
extra payment of $1,000 will be made
upon completion of thirty days ac-
tual platform service.
The date set for the foregoing rates
to become effective is the earliest
