Big Four Raises Wages.
CINCINNATI. April 19.--Coming d.
rectly on the heels of reported wage
increases in various industries the
Big Four railroad system announced
it had negotiated satisfactory wage
scale advances with its maintenance
of way employees and received a re-
quest from the railway clerks or the
system asking a conference TO ols-
cuss increased wages.
The basis of the agreement was
not announced, w. Newbarger, super
visor of the wage bureau OF the
system, said, on account of the in
completeness Of the entire wage scale
of all the maintenance of way en-
ployes.
Three sections of the maintenance
of way men on which definite scales
have been agreed to are: Mechanics,
section foremen and section labC-
ers. The wage scale committee has
not agreed as to the amount of In
crease to be given mechanics helpers,
crossing fiagmen and common labor
Z Sers, Mr. Newbarger said.
There is no large division between
the officials of the system and the
representatives of the employees rel
ative to the wage scale of the main
tenance of way employees not decided
on, and l feel confident the gap will
be bridged," said Mr.. Newbarger.
The request of the railroad clerks
of the system for a wage increase
was received several days ago. The
amount of the increase requested
was not announced. There are about
$500 railway clerks in the union.
which are affiliated with the Brother
hood of Railway and Steamship Clerks.
