Demands of time and a half for overtime were granted only for the men in yard service. The average advance per man per year is about $160..

Dining and sleeping car employes’ claims for increases are still pend- ing. Rather than refuse increases be- cause of the present unsatisfactory condition of railroad revenues or cut the wages established for other em- ployes during May, Hines said that he had decided to make a readjust- ment proportional with those which} had been made other employes. The advances are ,lesigned to readjust “obvious injustices” wrought by the| general advance granted rail workers last May. Claims of national railway express employes will be decided within a fortnight. 157TH INFANTRY: ARRIVES TOBAY FROM BORDEAUX (By Associated Press.)
