EXPECT SIMPSON
DECISION TODAY.
Alleged Confession = to
Food Inspector Denied
By Milk Dealer.

Decision in the Simpson milk case,
in which w. A. Simpson Is charged
with aiding and abetting the ship
ment of milk into the city without a
permit. will be made today in the
Police court.
The final testimony was heard yes
terday afternoon. Attorney O'Brien

hon instruct the jury regarding the

under consideration and will make a
ruling this morning.

A. Simpson denied an alleged CON
fession" said to have been made to
Robert Guerrant. food inspector for
the Health Department.
In the conversation he is alleged
to have told Guerrant that he was
short and had got his supply of
milk from a Lancaster nrm. and
that II he were short any time in

steps.

100000 RAIL
WORKERS Get
WAGE INCREASE
All Train and Enginemen
Benefit By Director
Hines Decision.
OVERTIME UNDECIDED
Question Will Be Left to
Decision Of Bipartisan
Board.

TrafnSa and engine men on lines of the
nafiohsf railways yesterday were
granted another Increase in wages by
Director General Hines. The order
affects more than 10000 employees and
the Increases are retroactive to jan
uary T. Claims OF the employees for
time and a half for overtime in road
service were left to a bipartisan
board for decigdon.
Ths-new rate OF pay will give the
passenger conductors, baggaEemen
and dI-brakemen increases OF SIS.
$3.50 and $50 per month re-
spectivsIy.
Only an approximate estimate of
the added expense as a result Of
the increase was obtainable. Rail-
road Administration officials esti-
mated that IF increases sought by
the train and enginemen, dining and
sleeping car employees and railroad
police had been in effect under last
years conditions. the additional ad-
vances on these accounts would
total about S6T 500, 900 annually"
Only two classes of railroad en-
ployes remain to be dealt with. the
Hines statement announced. Dining
ana sleeping car employees have pre-
sented their arguments, and their
cases are before the Railroad Ad-
ministratiOn. Members OF the rail-
roads police force were given in
crsases about FOUR weeks ago.
Hines said that after dealing with
the dining and sleeping car employees,
wage questions will be handled IN
the future "only in the light of con-
ditfons hereafter arising"
This statement. however, does not
Infer that the pay of employees of
the American Railway Express Com
pany will not be given just considera-
ton. officials said.
The question of the employees
claim for time and a half for over
time is frauEht with difficulties the
statement shows. Hines plan to
leave it to a bipartisan board Of
eight msmbers-fOur representating
labor and four representing the
mana gements was regarded by
brotherhood leaders as the best
method Of solving the enigma.
Should the employees win their fight,
the overtime resulting from the de-
Cision viii be retroactive to the date
OF the increase granted yesterday.
