Before the war the American Woolen
Co., of New York, quoted standard
blue serge at $1.25 per yard. The
last quotation on the same goods was
$3.85 per yard and in fact at present
it is withdrawn from sale. Now get
your pencil out and figure. If the
yardage cn a standard blue serge
suit costs over 3 times as much as
formerly and the manufacturing ex
pense is increased at least 40, what will a
before-the-war $15 suit cost to-day. Can you
figure it much less than $50.00? That's
what we're headed for $50 and $75
ready made suits. It seems impossible, but
it's a fact and you cannot figure it out any
other way. In view of this, don't you think a
man would be doing a very wise thing to buy
a good all-wool suit at $21 or $25 if he could
get it? We sa3' so, and we are prepared to
offer you just such an opportunity if you act quickly.

ADVISES
RAISE IN WAGE

IF GRANTED WOULD BRING SUB
STANTIAL AMOUNT TO
PLATTSMOUTH.
WORKMEN HERE ARE HOPEFUL
Will Add $260,000,000 to Pay Rolls
Over the Country McAdoo
May Modify the Amount
Washington, May 7. Director
General McAdoo will announce soon I
his decision on recommendations of ?
the railroad wage commission, which!
were said in well informed quarters J
today to propose an average 20 per
cent advance in pay for all classes
of railroad employees. If Mr. Mc
Adoo follows the suggestion of the
commission approximately 2G0,000,
000 will be adde to the pay rolls of
the nation's railroads.
Strong pressure is said to have
been brought to bear on the director
general to modify some of the com
mission's recommendations, espec
ially affecting the four great broth
erhoods. Mr. McAdoo is not bound
to follow the advice of the commis
sion and can increase or reduce their
recommendations as he sees fit. The
commission has followed its an
nounced policy of giving the; high
est paid unions the lowest rate of
advance, holding that relief is need
ed most by the men who have been
barely making ends meet or perhaps
going in debt on the wages they rer
ieived.
Award Less Than Unions Ask
Apparently none of the commis
sion's recommendations has met the
requests of the unions themselves,
which ranged as high as 40, 50 and
60 per cent.
A majority of the commission is
said to have felt that the eight hour
day should not be made universal
for railroad employes while the war
is in progress, fearing to upset trans
portation and necessitate the expen
diture of large sums in addition to
the increases suggested.
It is said the commission has urg
ed that after the war the eight hour
day be extended and made the ba
sis of employment of all classes of
railroad workers.
Plattsmouth has more than usual
interest in the above dispatch, thru
the effect the proposed raise will
have on the Burlington shops here.
An increase of 20 per cent in the
general payroll would be most wel
come and it is quite probable that
the increase will come, at least to
all lesser paid employees of the
road. Bulletins have been posted in
the shop of late to keep the men in
formed of just what action Is being
taken in the matter and all are anx
