High Wages Benefit
Public, Says Chicago
Surface Line Officer

Wages paid to street car employees
in Chicago ahe the highest for any
traction system in the United States,
according to Guv A. Richardson, vice
president of the Chicago Surface
Lines. The wage scale in Chicago
ranges from 70 to rs cents an hour,
which is roughly 20 cents more than
the highest and lowest rates paid in
New York City.
Asked his opinion of the wisdom
of this practice, Mr.. Richardson said:
The publ cbenefits from this high
scale quite as much sdoes the COM
pany and its employees. Here in Chi
cago we get the cream of the men in
te traction industry and we keep them.
The annual labor turnover does not
amount to 10 per cent of our person
mel. Over 1000 of our trainmen have
ben in our employ 25 years and the
great majority of trainmen have had
more than five years service"

tack against "the big, supposedly re-
suectable business men who are en-
movers of gangsters and bombers.

that when that trail was struck and
a "hot spot" had been reached the
authorities would back away from it.
