Year’s Total Benefits to Be $35,000,000. B3 the Associated Press. | CHICAGO, October 4 —Operating employes of the Nation's major rail- roads went to work today under a new wage agreement which will put $35,- 000,000 a year more in their pay en- velopes. The agreement, calling for a 44- cents-a-day raise for 250,000 engine, train and yard service empioyes, was signed last night by heads of the big five railroad brotherhoods and rep- resentatives of 86 carriers. It ended | protracted negotiations for a 20 per cent pay increase demanded by the brotherhoods. Dr. William M. Leiserson, member of the National Board, who had been conferring daily for six weeks with the brotherhoods and carrier repre- sentatives, announced the agreement. Railroad representatives estimated the increase would add an average 6.6 per cent to the workers’ annual earnings. Last August 25 the railroads granted a 40-cents-a-day wage increase for an estimated 750,000 members of the 15 non-operating brotherhoods. H. A. Enochs of Philadelphia, chair- man of the Conference Committee, and 14 other members of his group signed the agreement for the carriers, “I think this agreement will help strengthen the industry and the rela- tions between the carriers and their employes,” Enochs said. Initial demands for wage increases were ‘made jointly about a year ago by the operating and non-operating brotherhoods. In several conferences the groups agreed to demand & 20 per cent raise and the requests were put to the railroads. Subsequently the non-operating group accepted a "40- cents-a-day increase. The operating brotherhoods’ de- mands were refused at first and a strike ballot was taken. The brother- -OLD RADIO! RCA’s Scientificall cludes insp adjusting your radio for only . .
