Railway Unions Win
Is and 80 Cents Daily
In Strike Agreement
Wage Increases Await
Formal Approval Of
Labor Brotherhoods

A settlement formula reached by
the Presidents Emergency Board
was on its way today to assured ap-
proval of general officers of the rail-
road brotherhoods, while Mr.. Roose-
welt awaited a formal report and the
full transcript of the weekend pro-
ceedings.
BY terms of the settlement men,
bers of the five operating brother
hoods will receive wage increases
of rs cents per day and those of IA
n-operating unions will benefit by
80 cents daily.
The wage settleemnt, which averts
a Nationwide strike called for De-
cember 7, was reported to Mr..
Roosevelt yesterday. 1t is expected
to add between $500, 100000 and
S325 ,00O000 to the carriers annual
costs. Management has accepted
the compromise.
Permanent Arrangement.
The settlement provides that the
wage increases be raises in basic pay
rates and not temporary. In a pre-
vious report, based on long fact
finding hearings in Chicago, the
board had recommended temporary
increases totaling approximately
S270,000,000, with the stipulation
that they be subject to revision after
December 81, 1912.
The boards previous recommen-
dations calling for pay raises OF ~
of 1872 per cent for the non-operat-
ing groups, were rejected by the
union. The unions originally had
asked increases which the carriers
estimated would cost them an ad-
ditional 100000 year.
The increases, amounting to 10
cents an hour for the incorporating
men. will boost their average pay
to 1874 cents, according to union
estimates. The operating Workmen
receive from $506 day up and their
increases amount TO 9i2 cents an
hour.
Raises Are Retroactive.
The settlement provides that the
10 and 912 cent increases be effective
as of December |, but that the previ-
Gus recommendations for 7l2 per
cent and 13 per cent increases be
retroactive to September |.
Yesterdays agreement provides
also for a graduated vacation-w with
pay scale for clerks and teleg-
raphers. They will get 6, and IL
days vacation a year for one, two
and three years of service. All
other members of the IA non-operat-
ing brotherhoodS will receive six
day vacations with pay. In its orig
inal recommendations, the board
had proposed six-day vacations with
pay for all the incorporating men.
The board recommended that the
lO-cent- hour increases apply also
to employees of the Railway Ex-
press Agency.
