This paper niule : mention Monday of the fact
thut the C. . U. & Q. had adopted standard pay
over its system lor conductors and Iirakemcn.
Theio seemed to tic some doubt lor a day or
two over the correctness of the report. Mr.O.
K. Rice , superintendent of the Illinois lines of
the C. . [ J. & Q .arrived Home trom Chicago last
night and was seen by the reporter.
"Yes , " he answered. "His true ; thecompany
has adopted the new schedule , which gives our
men practically the standard pay. On sonic
things we arc paying more than any other
road in the country ; on others a little less , but
the average is high. "
Continuing Mr. Itice said that all of the ne
gotiations had been conducted between Vice
Piesident Hum's and the union committee
representing the U. II. C. and the U. 11. T. , on
the C. , H. &Q.system. The leaders will remem
ber that these committees were in session I'ere
several weeks working on the schedule. Air.
Kice said that the conference in Chicago has
been concluded and that it was most amicable
and pleasant all around. Ho regarded the new
schedu'e ' as ti very generous one and yet felt
that the men deserved It by reason of their
faithful service and loyalty to the company.
Mr. Uice evidently felt ft good deal of pleasure
personally in the result
The schedule gives u handsome incteate of
pay ttll around. The advance in the monthly
wages of the way "freight conductors and
brakemen Is as high as 20 to over 30 per cent
in some instances. It is learned Irom one in
formed that the monthly wages of the wav
freight conductors will now range from § 80 to
§ 93 a month , instead of $60 to $75 as formerly ,
while brakemen get a corresponding increase.
The through freight trainmen are paid by the
mile. The result of this increase of pay means
that there will be paid in to the trainmen here
many more thousand of dollars a month , and
will go into the general business of the city.
Official notice of the adoption of the schedule
was also received in the B. of It. T. office today.
The trainmen are all happy and deserve to be.
