AN INCREASE TO BE OIVEN.
5 out hern Railroad Employe* Oala
Their Point WUI (let Hel.ee Pay.
Atlanta, a Iter, I.—lt |* announced
era railway b>i promiaed a par.tal ree
turtiio* of lb* ten per rent tn wage*
made ****** I year* ago. The restora
tion (<ati a* the result of peraiateot
agitation by the employe* who think I
the increased busiursa of the rued jus- I
till** asking fer better pay.
The n*w sec 1* will go Intr effect Jan.
1, 1)09. and ahlie It Is not tp be a full
restoration of (hr ten per rent rut, it !
will lie such an tucrrasr a* <vtll give
thr several thousand employes of the i
road general aatisfa-Uon and at the 1
same tint* avert a strike in the shops
of the system.
The promise of the Southern's offi
cers to Increase wages wsa not given
without full consideration. The com
pany wsa first asked to restore tb*
cut last summer, about the time ih"
Western and Atlantic and Nashville.
Chattanooga and St. Louis restored par
tially the ten per cent cut on those
roads., but the answer came from
Wrshington that the Southern did not
make the cut and tbai it was not re
sponsible for the primiae to restore.
The machinists of the system then
took up the matter, and begun holding
meetings end discussing the advisa
bility cf demanding an increase of I
wages. It was decided abeut a month
a;, to make the demand. The ma- j
chiniste of the system formulated a
demrnd on the company asking for an
increase of ten per cent and the com
pany was given until Nov. 9 to answer
the demand. The answer given was
rn»3ti»fectory snd rfter bolding callvd
meetings the machinists of the system
voted to go cut on a strike on the 30th
of las. month. Every machinist in the
employ of the road was to have quit
work on tnat day, but a fe>v days ago
the company's agents went to the men
to a great, extent the "nnti-Ka.ser
ar .1 assured them of a raise cn Jan. 1.
They stated that a new scale of wages
was to be arranged and the men were
to be given ten hours of work a day.
Just what the raise would be is not
stated, but it is thought that it would
amount to an increase of about 5 per (
cent, a fid tbe company agrees, It is
said, to let this increase stand perma
nently, not to be cut after the heavy
business is over.
