Burlington's street railway difficult
ties are over for the present. At one
o'clock this morning the organization
of the employees of the Burlington Trac-
tion company formally accepted the
report and included Recommendations
of the committee of arbitration, COM
posed of George NJ. Besett, George L.
Whitney and John J. Whalen, repre-
senting the city, the employees and the
traction company respectively. This
committee was appointed about n month
ago, when the difficulties between the
traction company and the employees
first arose. This report was submitted
during the latter part of yesterday af-
ternoon and Immediately accepted on
the part of the company.
1t was recommended in the report
that the Burlington Traction company
be allowed to raise its fares to seven
cents in the city. with no extra charge
for transfer privileges.
The wage schedule recommended by
the board of arbitration is as follows:
months; +21a cents an hour for the second
six months; As cents an hour after service
of one year. with this Schedule retroac-
tive to August 16; 1919 and any motor
man or conductor now employed by the
company, who already has served six
months or a year, will receive the pay of
the class in which he belongs under such
classification. This schedule applies to
a day of II hours. Time and a half
will be allowed for time over II hours
day.
This is an increase in wages of fully
10 per cent. over what the street car men
have been receiving, as the wage for
merly paid was SIS per week, with n mex
imum of s25 per week for men who had
been in the service not less than five
years, and had special runs. The men
were asking for a wage schedule of 30
cents an hour and an eight hour day, and
recognition of the union which they had
just formed.
The report was first submitted by the
board of arbitration to Mayor j. Holmes
jackson who then submitted it with a
letter of introduction to the Traction
company and to the employees. II was
accepted by the Burlington Traction com
pany, Elias Lyman. president, and by
Division No. 9l3. Street Car Men. The re-
port is as follows:
