iron-bound staves of the days prior

thousands of hot dusty travelers of
the older generation, is to be nsed

UNSTABLE DOLLAR
TO BE WAGE BASIS
STREET CAR MEN
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.
A new wage standard for Its em
ployes, based upon the fluctuation
Mi the purchasing price of the
dollar and other factors In the
cost of living. Is belag considered
by the Mitten msnagement of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany. After s lengthy investigation
the 3nlt company officials have
reached the conclusion thst the
present wage standard, based up
on the average wage paid to
transit company workers In Chi
cago, Cleveland and Detroit, uig
Inally a war-time expedient. Is
not s satisfactory plan or equit
able to the local raotormen, con
ductors and related workers.
The proposed new plan was re
vealed by Dr. A. A. Mllten, su
pervisor of Industrial relatione for
the Mitten management headed
hy Thomaa E. Mitten, at a recent
Wearing liefore the Pennsylvania
Public Service Commission to de
termine whether the existing tem
porary fare of 7 1 rents, or two
tokens for IS cents shall be made
permanent.
Outlining the plan to the
Commissioners, Dr. Mitten de
clared: "We hate felt for some
time thst hanlngHhs men's wsgos
on the three-city average was not
altogether satisfactory, as P. R. T.

more than Is being done else

where.
"A special committee of em
ployees has been appointed to
confer with a committee for the
employer to consider adoption of a
new basis for determining ware.
These committees are now jointly
studying the feasibility of a plan
to base fluctuations in ' wages,
starting with an agreed scale a
a base, upon fluctuation In th
purchasing power of the dollar.
"The obvious advantage of the
plan would be that having reach
ed a standard In living based
upon the present scale of wag.
the men should be proteclV In
that standard of living thrfrigh
the fart that no matter wlutt
economic conditions confront
them their wages should never go
down faster than the fall of prices
of food and clothing, nor should
the prices of the neeesiQ': '
living go up faster than TTio rise
In tbe wages they receive. This
Index being considered by the
commutes Is one based solely en
the cost of items which enmr Into
