God 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.
