OPPOSE
 LEvERTY BROS.
But Court Dissolves Injunc tion Against North Ave.
 Building.

Three North avenue property own CTS appeared before Judge Walsh in the common pleas court this afternoon to oppose the dissolution of the in junction recently granted to restrain ]. A. Leverty and James Leverty from building an addition to their drug store at Main street and North ave nue. The remonstrants were Deputy Collector of U. s. Customs John H. Shannon, Lawrence F. NeaIon and John Brown, Jr. They claim the druggists have no right to build over the established line.
 Shannon testified that he receiv- ed no notice of the hearing in the Common Council in 1917 at which time Leverty brothers were granted permissio to erect the addition. The witness said the building line was established in 1893 and had been ob- served by other property owners. Nealon and Brown testified to prac- tically the same effect.
 On cross examination Attorney Thomas NJ. Cullinan, counsel for Lev erty Bros. brought out that shan non's property is on the opposite side of the street from the proposed ad- dition so his view would not be ob- structed. Assistant City Clerk Rob- ert Jones was also on hand. He pro- duced records to show that all prop erty owners in that block had TeCeiv- ed notice of the hearing in 1917. Judge Walsh dissolved the injunc- ton on the ground that the three re- monsrrants had not built back of the present building line. The city char ter provides that a building may pro- feet over the line if the consent ot those who had built back of the boundary is obtained. This consent IS obtained by Leverty Bros.

 graphers and station agents. Rail
 way accountants calculated that in
 1916 and 1917, the years imme ediately preceding government control, the
 railway companies increased wages S35O, 900, GOO. With the SS22 OOO, 900 add ed by the railroad administration the aggregate advance of railroad men s
 wages in three years Is set at approx imately $1, TIP .Oo0, 600 or about $5SO per
 man. The railroad payroll in 1917 was calculated at $1,75O OOO, coo, in 1918 at $2. .538 coo, GOO, and this year at s2, S22,- = GOO, 600
 Comparatively small increases in pay are expected soon for dining car and sleeping car employees.
 Director General Hines in his anaIy- sis of wage situation under govern ment control explained that the end of last year employees wages had been raised to a rate which would have added $754, S11, ,0OO to the aggregate railroad payroll if it had been effec- | tive throughout the entire year. He 1 added to this the sum of $67, 800, 900 to cover increases for the brotherhood ! men in the order today for the dining
 car, sleeping car and police employees. 1 The aggregate for the latter three classes is estimated at about S2 5OO,-
 coo, leaving approximately $65, 900 600 for the brotherhood men,.
 The actual payment under increased wage orders last year was $53S, coo 00G
 according to MT. Hines calculation. Railroad companies estimate the wage increases at nearly $100, 900, 900 more than the railroad administration. Railroad accountants calculate that about S1,0OO. OOO.O GOO a year will be forthcoming from the rate increases last year. The railroad administra- tion's figures today on wage additions indicates that more than 80 per cent. i of this is eaten Up in wages.
 Discussing the effect of wages on operating costs this year, MT. Hines | said in making public the order that through the elimination of overtime which will be unnecessary under peace conditions and through ability

The increases were arranged ac- cording to a contemplated schedule, one of the aims of which was to re- store tho wage relationship existing before the railroads increase in wages last year. The average ad- vance in pay per man per year will be about $16G.
 This action practically completed d the war cycle of wage increases granted railroad men since the gov ernment took over management of , the roads fifteen months ago. Only a few minor requests for more pay remain to be acted upon.
 Including todays order the aggre- gate pay increases allowed by the railroad administration to the two million railroad employees is at the : rate of s822,311.O 900 a year, more than
 S40o average per man. Thus the total payroll of America's railroads is raised nearly to three billion dol lars a year from the basis of ap- proxImately two billion dollars on January l, 1918, when the roads passed into the governments hands.
 The $6o, ,OOO, coo added to the payrolls of members of the Big Four broth erhood brings the total granted this class of employees In the last three years to apprOX1u1ateIy SSI0UOUsOOO Or approximately $69O per man. This takes into consideration the $14O,O00 900 estimated as the brotherhoods' share of the general wage increase last year Hand $7OOOO. 900 estimated as the fruit for these men from the A;damson Act which established a basic elght-hour +fay but did not put into effect the ,brotherlroods' pleas for time and a half for overtime
 Back pay" for work since January 1 will be given the brotherhood men as soon as railway paymasters can work 3out the amount due. This may take "a. month- or even more to complete. . In announcing the increase. Director GeneraI Hines explained that the same principles were followed as were applied by the railroad admin stration during the war. These principles in cIuded the adjustment of wages to living costs and to various classes of employment.
