breast works and dug rifle pits. Our
works were about 500 yards long. Art

lay on our arms until just at daylight.
The morning of the 18th, we opened
fire on them with our large guns and
they replied promptly. At this time
our company was ordered to advance

PROPOSAL.

and Pipeftters to Got $3.50 Day
Under Proposed Plan--InsPeetors
and Repairmen Jump to $6.7o-saek
Pay From s4eo to $500 Each.

If the railroad shopmen accept the
proposal of President Wilson, which
| meets about one-fourth of the demands
submitted by craft representatives to
the federal railroad directorate, the en-
ployes of the NJ. & st. l.. shops in this
city will receive an increase in wages
of approximately 25 per cent. President
Wilson late Monday submitted to the
representatives of the six railroad shop
crafts a proposal to pay the shopmen
about cents an hour increase, on a
basis Of ten hours pay for eight hours
work, re troactive to May l,
The increase to car inspectors and
car irepairers is larger being about 8
cents an hour. At present the shop
men of the NJ. & st. L., are paid on the
| basis of eight hours pay for eight hours
| work, with time and half for over
| time work. and five hours pay for
three hours and twenty minutes or
less work, when men are called back
to the shops.
New Scale Of Wages.
Today the boilermakers, machinists,
| blacksmiths and pipe filters employed
| in the local shops are receiving the
general wage scale. 6S cents an hour;
helpers are receiving As cents, and the
inspectors and repairers, SIS cents an
hour. Under the proposal of President
Wilson, helpers would be advanced to
40 cents, and inspectors and repairers,
| to 81 cents.
The four cents an hour increase
would not be the only concession gain
ed, however, as the men would be paid
for ten hours while working but eight
hours a day. Comparative figures, of
the present scale and the proposed
wage. per day, follow:
Craft Now Proposed
Boilermakers, mach
inists, blacksmiths,
and pipefitters ...... $5.44 900. 1920
Helpers ..........-. 500 ....-. Adv
Inspectors and
car repairers .....-.. asa ...... $40
Monthly Wage Of Shopmen.
On the basis Of monthly pay, based
on twenty-five working days month,
the figures would be as follows:

inists, blacksmiths,
and pipe filters 49,. $136 49,. 100000
lOlpeIS ~ A--'o
Inspectors and
car repairers ........ 116 49,. 1675o
The above figures are based on
straight time and do not represent the
real earnings Of a shopman who works
overtime at time and half.
AS the proposal of the president
would make the new scale retroactive
to May 1, all shopmen would receive
four months back pay-May l to Sept.
(which, based on the twenty-five
work day month, would mean to each
individual a payment as follows:
