\ ey NORWICH, CONN., WAGE INCREASE FOR RAILROAD MEN| Arbitration Commission Awards Conductors and Trainmen -an Average Raise of Sev Benefitted and Railroad Annually—High Cost of en Per. Cent.—100,000 Men Payrolls Increased $6,000,000 Living Dominating Influence. e New York, Nov. 10.—The long-lived controversy between railroads of the cast and their conductors and trainmen over the latter's demands for more pay ended tonight. The employes are granted an increase in wages aver- aging seven per cent. and totalling $6,000,000 annually—about half of what they wanted—from October last, ef- fective for one year. One hundred thousand men will share in the in- crease, Award Binding and Final, Thus ends, under arbitration under the Newman amendment to the Erd- man act, a controversy that threat- ened at one stage of its career to tie up by strike, transportation by rail in all states east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio, an area ! with a population of 47,000,000. The award of the arbitration (‘ommmsion,; filed this afternoon in the federal di trict. court. is binding and final. To its terms, however, the two board rep- resentatives of the employes filled a minority report and the -iwo repre- sentatives of the forty-one railroads a dissenting opinion. Award Based on Cost of Living. In reaching its award the board ruled mainly against the employes on four out of five points submitted by them as reasons why the increase should be granted and found for them on the fifth—the increased cost of Iliving. Since 1309, when last an increase was | granted, the arbitrators found that the How to Make Better Cough Syrup than You Can Buy ' A Family Supply, Saving 82 | and Fully Guaranteed. | e = e A full pint of cough syrup—as much as vou could buy jor $2.30—can easily be made at home. You will find uuthinfz that takes hold of the ordinary cough more quickly, usually conquering it in- side of 24 hours. Excellent, too, for spasmodic croup, whooping cough, bron- ehial asthma and bronchitis. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with 1, pint of wafm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 2145 ounces of Pinex (fifty cents’ worth) in a pint bottle, then add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every omne, two or three hours. This is just laxative enough to help relieve a cough. Also stimulates the appetite, which is usually upset by a cough. The taste is pleasant. The effect of pine and sugar syrup on the inflamed membranes is well known. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, ! rich in guaiacol and other natural| healing pine elements. Other prepara- tions will not work in this combination. | This Pinex and Sugar Syrup remedy | has often been imitated, but the old suc- cessful mixture has never been equaled.l 1t is now used in more homes than any other cough remedy.

Mill Ends. o | cost of living had increased seven per cent. Certain minor contentions em- braced within the other four points also were conceded to the employes. A Wage Standardization. “The board does not found its ac- tion entirely upon the increased cost of living,” reads the award, a docu- ment of 75 printed pages, “though it looks upon this as basic.” Without attempting to standardize the rates of pay between railroad em- ployes of the east and the west, the | board asserts its belief that it is desir- able but not possible at the present time. As to this, the award voices the opinion that congress should make an inquiry as to whether there is any | longer a substantial reason for the maintenance of a wage differential be- tween the two sections. New Wage of Employes, The articles are dealt with separate- ly in the award and fix the pay for various classifications of labor. While technical in verbiage, they provide, | chiefly that the monthly pay of em- | ploves in the passenger branch of the service shall be as follows: Conductors, $135; baggagemen, $82.50; flagmen and rear brakemen, s brakemen, $76.50: overfime per 45 cents; collectors, 27.5 cents; 26 8; hour—conductors, conductors and ticket assistant 35.7 flag- cents; cents; baggagemen, men and rear brakemen, brakemen, 25.5 cents. For the freight service, the follow- ing are the chief awards: Through runs, conductors, four cents a mile: flagmen, 2.67 a mile; brakemen, 2.67 a mile; any run less than 100 miles to be paid for as if it were 100 miles. In way freight, pick up or drop, mine and roustabout service, same mini- mum, conductors are awarded $4.50 a day of 100 miles or less, ten hours or ! flagmen. $3.10 and brakemen, $3: | overtime to be paid for as time and one-half. This was one of the few instances in which the employes triumphed in their demand that overtime be paid for at one and one-half the regular rate. Dissent of Minority. To this finding the employes’ rep- resentatives filed a minority report of protest. To the entire finding the rafiroads’ representatives dissented. “We dissent from this award.” r their report. “because stands is chimerical and uneconomic such increased cost of living a occurred is not sufficient to ju the increase granted: because statis- tics grove that risk has decreased and hours of labor have decreased and the weight of evidence is that labor has not increased.” Of vital importance to the employes is the finding of the board that pres- ent schedules of pay are not to be changed or disturbed in any way where they exceed the amounts named in the award. Of equal importance is the finding that employes are not to | be curtailed either in mileage or in hours of labor to offset the increases granted. Embarrassment of Railroads, The railroads’ contention that they are between two horns of a dilemma from which there is no apparent es- cape—that they must either raise rates or cease raising wages—is dismissed by the arbitrators with this assertion: “This board believes that it must make its findings without any refer- ence to the -dilemma in which the railroads are evidently placed. The In- terstate Commerce Commission and not this arbitration board has the duty of determining whether the railroads can earn in addition to their other charges, without an increase in rates, | the rates of pay that this board be- lieves at the present .time to be due to the conductors and trainmen.’ SALESROOM OPEN 8 a. m. to 12 m.

However, the board calls the atten- tion of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission to the decrease of hazard that follows the installation of steel double tracking and improved signs On this point the award says:- “All of these things cost in the ag- gregate an immense sum of money. Any policy that would make it im- possible for the railroads to command this money would be a profound mis- fortune to the whole nation. Such a policy would be bad enough in its ef- fect upon transportation, because it would reduce the efficiency of the rail- roads; but it would be criminal, In the sense that it would make the great army of railroad embvloyes,- who are numbered by hundreds of thousands, follow their hazardous occupation un- der conditions more hazardous than are justifiable in a country like this.” Suggestion | {ator £ own taste, can fully world over, Ask for FREE book of ‘‘papers”’ with each5¢ sack starvation.
