Big Advances Already. Recommendations to the President from Director-General Hinee as to the amount of Increase to be given, made public with the President’e statement, showed that pay increases already received by thousands of shopmen from July 1. 1915, to August 1, 191% were in excess of the increase in the cost of living during that period, these increases b4Wg obtained by higher classtfication under standardisation ol employment Mr. Hines said the wages of railroad : * oumen were not properly comptrable aith those paid for similar work in shipyards because the shipyard work was of a temporary nature and also because the workmen in the latter case were generally faced with higher living costs rrevailtng in cemretoed districts while the railroad shoMhsn as a rule have the advantage of sOtoU or semi-rural com-
rminities.
Attitude of Hines. Private industry, the director-general found, was payhto about 3 cents an hour more than the railroad administration, which difference will be equalised under the 4-oent advance. 'T approach this matter,” Hr. Hines said in his report, "with the clearest conviction that the railroads must be conducted now and for all time In the future In such a way as to give to railroad employes an adequate compensation and a liberal share in the returns from railroad operation. "This is not only justly due to the employes who make possible the condition of service, but it is obviously in the interest of good service. It is true now and will be true to a continually increasing extent In the future that a state of contentment on the part of railroad labor will be indispensable to efficient railroad service and this contentment can not exist unless the evidence of fair treatment is so clear that it will carry conviction to the railroad employes themselves." What They Get In view of the delay of the railroad administration board on wages and working conditions in reporting on the demands of the shopmen, the directorgeneral recommended that the new rate of pay be made retroactive from May 1. although the board's report was made July 16, the date of the report generally being taken a* the retroactive date. Under the new scale of wages, machinists, toolmakers, boiler makers riveters, biacksmitos, sheet metal workers and electricians, ail of whom now receive" 68 cents an hour, will receive 72 cents. Helpers will receive 49 cents an hour instead of the prefsent wages
of 46 cents.
In addition to the four-cents-an-hour inmease for most of the shopmen, the director-general ordered that all freight car repairmen receive 85 cents an hour instead of 63 cents for steel car repair'

At the meeting oT the subcommittee Monday, night discussion was continued along the line of that which took place at the first metning of the general committee when the difficulties of determining fair prices were encountered.

Some deplored what they regarded sensational Items not based on facts because the public is thereby misled. No definite plan of
procedure was agreed on.

the refusal of the federal government

No effort j is made to conceal the fact that there I is widespread imrest and that unless I wise counsel prevails, a serious situsI tion may develop.

He has asked wage workers i everywhere to hrip solve the cost of s Uvtog by being content with
