Fiirst General Increase, In the first general wage advance made by the railroad administration following the recommendations of the railroad wage commission, approxi- mately $400,000,000 a year was dis- tributed among railroad emploves. About 3140,000,000 of this went to trainmen and enginemen, and about $260.000,000 to other emplayes. On supplemental orders, about $150,000,- 000 was added to payrolls of the shop- men, about the to maintenance of waymen and clerks and about $45,- 000,000 to telegraphers and station agents. Railway accountants calcu- Jated that in 1216 and 1917, the years Immediately preceding governent con- trol, the railway companies increased wages $850,000,000. With the $8° 000,000 added by the railroad admin- istration the aggregate advance of railroad men’s wages in three vears is pet at approximately $1,172,000.000 or @bout $580 per man.
