As police judge he hears complaints filed by the police and city attorney of the city of Plattsmouth only, and as jus- lice of the peace he acts on cases filed by the county attorney, the county authorities being allowed under the law to file the cases with either the county judge or any justice of the peace they so desire.

BURLINGTON GIVES RAISE TO EMPLOYES Clerks. Freight Handlers and Others in Store Department Received Advance Some Time Ago From Friday's Ijaily In discussing the raccnt ruling of the lrailroad wage board which pass ed on the claims of the clerks, sta- .tion- employes - and others in the incinieuance department 01 a large number of the railroads over the country, W. F. Huneke. local utore keeper of the Burlington, states that the employes of the Burlington, which was not included in the lift of railroads passed on by the board, have had their raise in effect since last February. Til? agreement between the Bur- i linon ml the maintenance of way employes expired last FcLruary and at that time there was a new atrree ment negotiated by the road and the employes, by virtue of which the employes received a raise that Is prac tically the same as Just granted to the employes of the other roada ly the rail wage board. The fact that the Burlington was not included in the list of roads whose employes were given the wage raise, has caused Fome confusion in the minds of the general public as to the status of the clerks and var ious employes of the maintenance of way department as to their wages, when in fact the employes have had this increase in effect for the- past eight months.
