HOW HE CAN FIGURE OUT HIS PAY UNDER THE McADOO RAISE at TELLS MR. RAILROADER %.

They know com- paratively the same scale of percent- piece, by hour or by train miles, But railroad men don’t know how the scale works. So here are a few examples which will show them how it figures out. The telegrapher who holds the same pusition now that he did Dec. 31, 1915, and who then deceived $75 a month, will receive an additional wage of 430.75. If ‘> the past two years he has received an increase of $10 a his net advance now will be $20.75. In other- words, he will here- after draw $105.7’ and, in addition, will get five months’ back pay at the rate of $20.75 a month, or $105.75 in all. Sectionman Smith is employed in 1918, but was not working in 1915. The rate of pay on the division where he is working was in 1915 $1.10 a day of 12 hours, seven days a week. The 1918 rate of pay is $1.50 a day for the same hours. The monthly rate for 1915 was, therefore, $33. It is now $45. Under the McAdoo plan of in- crease this job pays $20 a month more than it did in 1915, or 53.00. This is $8 a month more than Smith is.now drawing. He is therefore, entitled to five months’ back pay at this rate, of $40 velvet, and in future draws $53 a month regularly, ° ‘The method of finding out back pay due to men who work on an hourly rate is more complicated. Machinist Erown in 1915 got 35 cents an hour for 9 hours, 26 days.a month. He was paid for overtime and Sunday work at time and one-half.” In 1918 hours were | reduced to 8 and. his. rate increased to.40 cents. His increase will be fig-| uredon the 1916 hours andirate. That) ig} he, worked) in 1915 234. hours a - month, getting $81.99: Under the Mc- Adoo plan he is entitled'to 49.cents an hour: from'now: on. In 1918, from Jan. 1 to'IMay $1, he worked 234 hours a month, tal His back pay will be figured as fol- lows: i 1040 hours straight time at 49 CONG... eee eee $509.60 130 hours’ overtime at 73 1-2 Deduct,5 months pay as old fates— $494. And this leaves a balance of $111.15, which is his back pay thr the first 5 montthts of the year. Many railroad men have belleved that in some cases the new scale\will actually cut their wages. This 1s) not true.
