I A new nage scale for increasing the j pay of motormen and conductors has I been announced bv the Indianapolis Trac- , tlon and Terminal Company, which flg- ‘ ures the Incre'ase at approximately 8 per j cent, amounting, the company sajs, to a total increase in the company’s pay roll of about 9100,000 a year. In connection with the new wage agreement, Robert I Todd, president of the company, says in a written statement that “this contract has been presented to the men as individuals for the reason that the company desires to enter Into a new wage scale with all its service men, not a part of them.” He anticipates tnat the increase will be acceptable to all The contract between the company and the employes embraces an Increase of 1 cent an hour all along the line, to become effective January 1. 1917, and a bonus to all employes, under certain conditions, dated back, to become effective from July 1. 1916. Dated From July 1. The bonus consists of the amount of the Increase, dated back from July 1, and the contract carries this provision: "A motorman or conductor, to be entitled to such bonus, shall have signed the working agreement, and shall after this time well and truly have opposed and used his influence to oppose any strike or attempt to strike, and, in the event of strike, have faithfully reported for duty at his usual time and place each d^ and operated his car as his superior officer directed ” The present wage scale Is as follows. In continuous sere Ice An hour One year or less ... . si cents One year and less than two cears . . . SS cents IWu years and less than three ........ 24 cents ’riiree years and less than four ... 2S centa Four >sara anj less than flee 28 cents Five jears 17 cents Proposed Scale. The new scale proposed is as follows: An hour. One srear or less >2 cents One jeer and lese than two ytera ... 24 cents TWO years and less than three years ... tt cents Three years and less then four years .. 26 cents Four years and less than live years,... *7 cento Five years and lees than six yoara.... 26 cents Six Years and less than seien j-ears . 29 centa Seven yters end over SO cents Bonus Arrangement It Is explained that in the new scale two classes of increases are provided for that are not provided for In the old scale. These increases are for the men who have worked foi six years and less than seven years and those who have worked for seven years and over. In the old scale the high pay rate was for men who had worked five years or more. These increases were taken into consideration by the company when it figures that the total increase will amount to about 8 per cent The rates now in force were established by the public service commission. The bonus arrangement attached to the wage scale give an increase of 1 per cent an hour from July 1, 1916, to November 8, 1916, the date of the expiration of the contract approved by the public service commission, and thereafter to December 31, 1916, the bonus increases so as to make the present wage and the bonus equal to the new scale of January 1. Statement by Mr. Todd. Mr. Todd said today: “We are glad to say that the new wage agreement has been received most favorably by tke motormen and conductors to whom it has been presented. By 9 o'clock this morning one-half the motormen and conductors In the service had attached their signatures to the agreement and additional signatures were being obtained as rapidly as the agreement was presented to the men. The reception given the agreement indicates to us a long period of co-opera-tion between the company and the employes that will result in loyal and effective service for the public good ’’ The contract gives the period of the new w'age agreement from January i, 1917, to December 31, 192X. After giving the new scale, the contract provides that: In all other respects tbe terms and conditions of said working agreement with car service men are hereby approved, confirmed and c<mtinued in fcrce for the full period of employment of each or said motormen and conductors signing it. The bonus agreement offered Jointly with the new wage scale reads as follows: It is further agreed as follows; The Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company will aet aside and on December SI, 1916, lay to each conductor and motorman then in ta regular service, a bonus of l cent for each hour worked to No\ ember 8. 1916, and thereafter to January 1. 1917, the difference between the present rate and the new rate, which begins at said date, such payment to be made only to emplojes who have complied with tbe conditions prescribed In Section (a) below, and to begin aa to each employe who has so complied at the time specified in Section (b) below. (a) A motorman or conductor, to be entitled to such bonus, shall have signed the working agreement, and shall after this time well and truly have opposed and used his influence to oppose any strike or attempt to strike, and. In the event of a strike, have faithfully reported for duty at his usual time and place each day, and operated his car a* his superior officer directed (b) For men signing such agreements on or before July 8, 1916, such bonus shall begin to accrue July 1, 1916. and for thoae signing after July 8, 1916, and before August 1, 1918, it shall begin to accrue at the date of signing In the case of new employes, entering the service before January 1, 1917. tbe bonus shall begin to accrue at the date of signing Mr. Todd, president of the company, gave cut the following statement: For more than threa months the company has had under discussion with its rspresentatlve motormen and conductors the ouestion of a new wage scale These men were signers of tbe wDiking agreement with car service men, which has now been signed by sll ess cept about one hundred car service employes, and represented the great majority of the men in this class of service.

He will entertain th.ein with motion pictures and vaudeville. The newsboys and carriers are to be participants In the big show. As one of

otic tunes

now In force will continue until November. and we desire. If possible to continue to abide by that contract and agreement. If, however, the street car company can break the contract, the men have the same right." • What R«y Bays. Otto Rav, president of the Indianapolis Central Labor Union and an organizer employed by the Internationl Street Car Men’s Union, said the contract offered its emplloyes by the company made no offer of any change In working conditions for the car service men He said that the men objected to the long hours which they ar© now„ required to w’ork He said 600 employes of the company ar© members of the union and that none would sign the new contract. A change In some of the working conditions, he said, is desired more than an increase In tha wage scale.What Company Says. Officials of the company, however, say that the number of union men In the employ IB much less than 600. The number of company employes who would be affected by tbe new agreement la something more than L200, It ia understood' The union officials said they think the agreement offered by the company was made for the purpose of discriminating against members of the union, and is a violation of the contract which the employes now have with the company. Ray said the company held a meeting In the car barns at Pratt and West streets, where the new proposition was presented to about 260 employes of the company. The men were asked to sign the agreement at that time, he said Union officials said they had no intention to call a strike or violate the agreement now In force. An Injunction aganst the callng of a strke was granted last year by Judge A. B. Anderson, of the United States district court, on a showing made by the company that a atrike was imminent In September, 1914. In this order, Judge Anderson found that the Individual contracts which the company was signing with its employes were valid and In full force. Appeal Pending. An appeal was taken by representatives of the union and the case is pending before the court of appeals In Chicago The union contended there was no evidence that any strike was imminent and that the individual contracts were a violation of the arbitration award. It was also contended that Judge Anderson had no right to grant the Injunction under the terms of the new Clayton act. Tho present wage agreement under which tho company and the employes ore operating, and which expiree November 8 of this vear. was approved by the public service 'commission as a special arbltratkirt award and not as a public service cjmmlSflon working under the terms of the public service commission law. For this reason. James L. Clark, a member of the public service commission, said the ccmmlsaion would have no right under the law to step In after November 8 and interfere with a wage scale between the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company and Its employes The commission's ^tiee under the law relate to mattera between public service companies and the imbUc. Md, according to Mr. Clark, the commission's duties as a commission do not extend to the adjustment of wage scales adopted by the companies In regard to their employes Shipping Problem Taken Up. At a meeting today of the freight end express committee of the wholesale trade division of the Chamber of Cmnmercc. several shipping problems were presented by members of tbe dtvtsloB and were taken under conaideratloii for action. Members of the division were urged to use the shipping guide prepared by the division as this points out various routes by which goMs may be shipped from ladlanapoils Membm ^ the freii^t and express service committee are Fifed I WUba, T R.

"It was impossible to keep up the fight under such fire,” said one of the officers taken prisoner yesterday. “We took counsel, and the officers unanimously decided to surrender to avoid useless sacrifice of life. “What we have to do now,” the officer is quoteq as adding, “Is to save men for the coming victorious war which Germany will wage four years hence ” The new French trenches at the most advanced point are now in front 'of Pe* ronne and the village of Mt St. Quentin, situated on an elevation 300 feet from the point from which In 1870 the Germans bombarded Peronne ELKHART MAN ENDS LIFE.

PARIS July 6—The French offenshe has m.ade steady progress in the last tiventy-four hours AH counter-attacks have been repulsed, a large area of new territorv has been occupied and extensive captures of guns and munitions have been made In the first flve days of their battle against the Germans the French have advanced with remarkable uniformity. The ground gained v arled each day In depth at different points, but the gains have averaged about the same along the entire front, and the French are now firmly Installed between the German second and third lines of defense over a front In excess of seven miles Losses Relatively Light. That the French losses have been comparatively insignificant Is Indicated bv the maintenance on the front line of attack at their own request of the same two army corps that made the first assault on the German positions last Saturday morning One of these corps distinguished itself before Verdun In February after having won laurels in the battle of the Marne and at all parts of the front where there has been heavy fighting. The other corps comprises chieflj colonial troops, and it also Is counted among the elite of the French army organizations The generals commanding each corps were congratulated again yesterday by General Foch Not all the dljislons of these two corps have been actually in action, but basing the calculations on 9,000 men made prisoners by these troops, the French clearly appear to have suffered only slightly in comparison with the forces with which
