Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 102, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1901 — Engines Will Get Good Treatment. [ARTICLE]

Engines Will Get Good Treatment.

President McDoel, of the Monon has answered the complaining engineers and say that if the earnings of the road show* up as well on December 31st as they did on August Ist, or even July Ist, he would grant the engineers on 200 class engines a reasonable advance in wages. It is thought if the engineers receive an advance the firemen will also come in for an increase. Regular engineers on the road will not be required to learn both ends of the roads. Engineers who have no regular engines will be required to learn both ends of the road. The men who have charge of the engine on the south end of the line, and who have to take care of their engines, will also receive an advance in wages.
