St. Louis Trolley Men
Win Wage Restoration

St, Louis, Mo. (AFLNS)-Federal
Judge Charles B.. Davis authorized
Henry w. KEEL, trustee in charge Of
the Public Service Company here, to
enter into a new two-year wage agree
ment with the street car mems union,
granting an increase OF wages amount
ing to an average of SIS per cent.
The union had voted unanimously to
approve the new wage schedule, which
returns wages to the level fixed in an
arbitration decision of the State Public
Service Commission in 1929.
The increase will amount to about
4 cents an hour for m%otormen, con-
ductors and bus operators after IS
months of service. At the suggestion
OF Mr.. KEEL, other employees Of the
company not members of the union,
such as clerks and photographers, will
receive proportionate increases in
wages at the discreation of the trus-
tee. Shop, track and mechanical en-
ployees OF the company will receive
increases in wages up to the level OF
the Public Service Commission award.
The agreement fixes the pay OF two
mar street and bus operators at 81
cents an hour for the first six months
of service, IS cents an hour for the
second six months, "a cents an hour
for the next six months and 50 cents
an hour thereafter. For operators OF
one-man cars and BUSES the agreement
provides salaries Of SO cents an hour
during the first six months, 65 cents
for the second six months, II cents for
the third six months and 10 cents an
hour thereafter. The union had orig
inally requested an increase of 10 cents
an hour.
1t was estimated that the increase in
pay would amount to about $4,000 a
year if applied uniformly to everyone
on the payroll.
