R. R. SHOPMEN GAIN
CERTAIN SKILLED MECHANICS
GET WAGE ADJUSTMENT.
Director McAdoo Recognizes Com
plants and Men Doing Same Class
of Work Receive Equal Pay.

Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo has acted on the complaint of
organized railroad shop men that his
recent wage award was unfair to many
of these employees.
The award excluded from the s.
cent minimum such highly skilled
workers as pattern makers, cabinet
makers, coach builders, painters and
upholsterers, who were placed in the
5S-cent class. The director general
now orders that these workers be paid
the 6S-cent rate, and that an addi-
tional 21s cents an hour be paid to
blacksmiths on heavy work and boiler
makers employed as Hangers and lay
ers out, making their rate 701s cents.
This 21s cent increase also applies to
all operators on acetylene and cleo
trio welding machines. Freight train
steel car body builders and repairers
are advanced from 5S to 6S cents.
Helpers in the basic trades, who have
been paid 80 cents and upward, are
all advanced Is cents an hour.
These equalizations remove many
complaints by the shop men who show,
for instance, that while pattern max
ers were to receive only 5S cents un-
der the award complained of, they are
being paid 75 cents and upward in
shipyards and commercial shops.
When the award was made, several
months ago, railroad managers held
that it only applied to mechanics
working in shops and roundhouses and
not to men doing similar work on
bridges, maintenance of way, and
elsewhere. The director general or
ders that the rates apply to all me-
chanics doing the same class of work
under jurisdiction of the United States
railroad administration.

Movement of Employees Arganze Caused This
Progressive Step To Be Taken by the Rockefeller Com

Increased Per Cent

hours will be necessary, but price and
one-half will be paid for all overtime
work.
Wages Raised 10 Per Cent
According to the announcement
made by j. b. McKenman, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, the
mechanical and shopmen heretofore
worked ten hours a day and were paid
60 cents per hour, or Sc day. Mr..
Mckenman offered these men a choice
of two propositions. He said he
would reduce their working hours to
nine and third hours day and
continue to pay them Sc for the days
work, or he would grant them an
eight-hour day and give them 10
per cent increase in pay. The 10 per
cent increase brought the rate up to
66 cents an hour, and eight hours at
this rate make the daily wage S5.2s.
Six Thousand Men Employed
The men chose the latter PROPOSE
tion, so that hereafter they will re-
ceive S52S for an eight-hour day,
instead Of SO for ten-hour day.
However, when they work longer than
eight hours, they will receive price
and one-half. or rate of 90 cents an
hour.
There are approximately 5000 men
employed in the company's steel works
at Pueblo at the present time, and in
some of the departments additional
labor is needed.

Especial Correspondence, !,

PUEBLO, Oct. 23.-The Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company has inaugurated
an eight-hour basis of pay in its big
steel works Mt Pueblo, which became
operative Monday of this week. This
may or may not have been the result
of agitation recently started among
the 6,000 employees to form great
labor organization. A meeting for
this purpose had been called for Sun
day, October 13, two weeks ago, but
could not be held on account of the
ban placed on meetings by the state
board of health, resulting from the
influenza epidemic.
However, it is believed that an or
ganization will be perfected, when OPP
portunity is presented for holding
necessary meetings.

The Bulletin has recently published
several articles from its Chicago cor
respondent, telling of thousands of

the Chicago district forming unions

Home, Tenn
During President Berry's admins
trAtion the membership in the union
increased from 10000 to 10000 and
the wage schedule accomplished is
recognized to be really extraordinary.

been gained and the number of con-
tracts established has been increased
to a remarkable degree.
The total assets of the union are
over 100000 and 1000 members

cal No. IA. New Haven, has been in
ternational state organizer under

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt
dandruf and excessive oil The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and fey
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

"A man in nearby town recently killed

According to the estimate of Govern

destroys IS worth of foodstuffs annually.
At this rate, these 1903 rats had been
costing over $500 every year.
With this new rat poison, known as
Rat Mum, anyone can get rid Of every
rat on his place quickly and with the
greatest ease. Rat Mum is entirely diff

destroys without odor.
Another point-neither dogs nor cats
will eat it. 1t is not spread on food, and
you don't run this risk OF having hui
