STREET CAR MEN
WANT MORE PAY
Contemplate Asking the Company
for an Increase of Is Cents
an Hour

After an all-day session in Irish
American Hall. yesterday, the local
trolleymen S union decided to ask an in
crease in wages for IT'S members OF l5
cents an hour. The present schedule is
based on 5l TO % cents per hour, accord
ing 10 length of service. This rate was
fixed about a year ago. and II is claimed
by the men il has become inadequate to
meet the advanced costs of living There
was some talk of asking for ; cents an
hour increase, but the majority of the
men insisted upon an increase which
would bring the wage rate up TO that
being paid the employees of the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit Co. 6S TO y cents
an hour. based on length of service. The
increase demanded by the local trolley
men would bring their rate TO from 90 to
40 cents an hour.
Another matter discussed at the meet
ing was the change contemplated by the
company whereby all the open-end cars
will be converted into vestlbule cars, and
fare collecting devices will be installed
which will count both cash fares and the
metal discs which are TO replace the paste
board tickets. The men expressed will
lingness to cooperate with the company
in the use Of the devices, but claimed it
would add to their task.
The next regular meeting of the union
occurs next Tuesday evening
When General Manager T, w. Wilson
was interviewed this morning, with re-
ference to the above report, he stated that
he had no information on the subject
other than what he had seen in the news

were sufficiently informed as to the criti-
cal financial condition of the company and
of the fact that the wages paid in IL
mington at the present time were as high
as those paid in any other city of like size
along the Atlantic seaboard. and higher
than a great many, to know that no such
conditions could possibly be met in Will

Harding Wants Water and Rail
Rates Equalized--J. r. Howard
Says Many of Cars Furnished by
Railroads Are Unfit for Grain
Caraoes.
special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Washington. Aug. To- Responding
to the appeal of Governor Harding,
of Iowa, and J, X. Howard, of Iowa,
representing the American Fedora
ton of Farm bureaus, and other men
from the northwestern states, the in
terstate commerce commission gave
assurance that steps would be i'm
mediately taken to hurry the supply
of the wheat crop.
Governor Harding, in addressing
the commission, urged that the gov
ernmcnt equalize the rate tariffs on
rail and water shipments eastward
so that lake travel may be utilized
for the movement OF grain from
Chicago~to Buffalo and from Buff
falo TO New York. He contended
that at present the rail rates We're =
cents lower than the water rates and
that advanced equipment WAS avail
able on water routes for the speedy
movement OF grain eastward AS Il
result vi Inc cheaper ram rate Low
ernor Harding said practically no
water transportation Was being used
in wheat shipment.
Mr. Howard asked the commission
to require the railroads to furnish
cars in good shape for grain ship
ments. declaring that between 20 and
80 per cent of the cars sent into the
wheat territory were in need of re-
pairs and were unfit for cargoes of
grain.
The following four propositions
We're made to the commission by
Governor Harding:
Change the rail rate on grain from
Buffalo to New York so as to equal
ize the difference between the all
rail rate and the part-rafl and part
water rate between Chicago and New
York now charged.
Require eastern roads to return at
once TO the west car equipment up
to 100 per cent
Require cars thus returned not to
go beyond the terminals of their own
roads and to return for another load
or grain, the return trip to be loaded
with coal or other commodities re-
CURED in the west. tast3
Require grain from west of Lake
Michigan ports to be shipped by wa
