Hines Makes Proposal to the Railway
grotherhoods for Increass.
Washington. — Director General
Hines submitted to representatives of
the four railway brotherhoods an In­
creased wage scale amounting approx­
imately to $3,000,000 s month.
The proposal, laid before represent­
atives of the brotherhood» at the clos­
ing session of the wage conference,
was taken ueder advisement.
The increase would affect trainmen,
firemen, engineers and conductors, but
more particularly those employed la
ths slow freight train service.
There are many other questions af­
fecting working conditions of train­
men which have not been decided.
These will be the basis for further
conferences between the brotherhood
heeds and members of the director-
generals staff.
