Wage increases totaling more than
100000 for the monthly payroll of
railroad employees in general living
in Paris, We're granted last Tuesday
by the railroad labor board to the
1880 men here on the recent demand
of the big Four" brotherhoods and
associated crafts. Throughout the
county nearly two rillion railroad
employees are effected, and the total
wage increase will AMOUNT to about
$600,0O0,00O.
While the award was not entirely
satisfactory to the brotherhoods it
was understood that it was suffi-
GENTLY large to be accepted tenta-
lively by their chiefs, and submitted
to referendum of the men. Their
decision to await the action of the
unions ended the possibility of any
immediate strike.
The increase award was made by
groups, each classification receiving
set increase per hour, or, in the
case of engine or train employees, per
mile, 1t is averaged at about 81
per day per man, which will mean
$3.50 per day locally, or in round
figures $32, 100000 per month of six
working days for the railroad shop,
clerical, train and engine employees
of the L & N and N & c roads hav-
ing headquarters here.
Clerical forces generally were in
ceased 13 cents per hour, the lowest
being s l-2 cents for common labor
at warehouses. Track laborers got
Is cents an hour, telegraph opera
tors 10 and 13 cents an hour in
cre?se, and shop laborers 13 cents
an hour increase. In train and en-
g.na service the increase is about 81
Eer day.

 E All entries in the agriculture and horticulture departments will close Saturday evening". November 6, at 6 o'clock. All exhibits must be placed in position ready to be judged at F o'clock noon.
