recommended an increase of S15Q

Requests of the fire department
for a material increase In allot'

were rejected by the committee.
Truck drivers presented a re
quest, backed by a liberally signed
petition, that their salaries be
raised from $l,2mj t $1,fi()0 per

RAILROADS SAY
Payments During First Half
of 1938 Highest in 22
Years Is Claim.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. (AP)
The railroads defending their de
mand for a 15 per cent wage cut.
contended today the average pay
of their workers during the first
half of 1938 was the highest in 22
years.
I. Kimer Monroe, statistician for
the Association of American Rail
roads, gave to President Roose
velt's fact-finding board a table
showing average earnings of
$!US.&3 for rail workers in the
first six months of this year, or
an annual rate of S1.K37.G6.
This compared, Monroe said.
with an average of $371.83 paid
workers In the industry for the
first six months of 1!)37 and an
average of 1.781.21 for the year.
Monroe a figures showed, how
ever, that despite the higher av
erage pay per workers the roads'
total payrolls for the first six
months of this year were $12fi.
183.570 under the Sft77,0!)7,H!)f pair
in wages in the first six months of
1!IH7. This was accomplished by
reducing the number of employes
from 1.121.42 to !l2fi.f5RS.
In testimony yesterday, A. F.
Cleveland said the government
was largely responsible for finan
cial difficulties of the railroad
difficulties which the carriers
have contended make a pay cut
necessary.
Cleveland, a vice-president of
tho A. A. It., told the board govern
ment production of hydro-electric
power, its shipments at half rates
and Its Improvement of water
ways had worked to reduce rail
road revenues.
