RAISE IN WAGES
OF DOLLAR A DAY
[Continued from First Page.]
of labor representatives, represents
the second largest aggregate wage
increase ever granted in American
industrial history. It is supplement
ary to the general railroad wage or
der issued nearly four months ago.
providing for -lioiit $300,000,000 in
creases, and for the classes of em
ployes affected, it supplants provi
sions of that order.
Increase is Voluntary
Most of the employes covered by
the new order have made consider
ably less than $1(10 a month, and the
voluntary increase was decided on by
the director general after investiga
tion by his advisory board of railroad
wages and working conditions of the
pay of men doing similar work in
other industries. In the main, this
hoard's recommendations were fol
lowed.
8-Hour Day Basic Time
The order specified that eight hours
is to be considered the basic day,
hut overtime up to ten hours is to
he paid pro rata, with one and one
lialf the regular rate for overtime
past the ten hours. Specific rules are
laid down for the promotion of em
ployes on grounds of merit and se
niority. Other regulations forbidding
dismissal of employes without cause,
and providing tor hearing on appeal
resemble the rules now in effect un
der government civil service. These
restrictions will affect mainly the
half-million railway clerks.
Women Share in Raise
Thousands of women clerks em
ployed by the railroads are to receive
the same pay as men for similar
work, but the interpretation of "sim
ilar work" is left to executives.
Back pay from January 1, will be
made under the former general wage
order and the advances now granted
will be figures on top of the wage
last January 1, rather than on the
pay received In the immediate past
under the general wage increase.
Minimum rates of pay are establish
ed for all classes covered by to-day's
order, but the increase of $25 a
month, applied if the employe work
ed on a monthly or weekly basis, and
of twelve cents an hour, applied if
the employe worked by the hour, in
many cases will run the actual new
rate above the minimum.
No Decrease in I'lan
In no case are wages received un
der 'he general wage advance order
to be decreased. Wages for new po
sitions are to be in conformity with
rates for similar kind of work.
"Promotions shall be based on
ability, merit and seniority. Ability
and merit being sufficient, seniority
shall prevail." This provision does
not apply to personal otfice forces of
superintendents, trainmasters, divi
sion engineers, master mechanics,
general freight- or passenger agents,
and similar offices, where the man
agement Is to be the judge of pro
motions
Demoted Employes Protected
The order docs not apply In eases
where amounts of less than S3O a
month are paid to individuals tor
special part time services. Employes
assigned to higher rated positions
LAUZANNE CALLS 'GERMANISM THE
HORROR AND HYPOCRISY OF WORLD
CHICAGO, September 5.
St,ephane Lauzanne, editor of the Paris Alatin, at a luncheon here
yesterday defined the war as not one of people, but of ideals against
Germanism, and he defined Germanism thus:
"Germanism is the Kaiser issuing in 1914 four declarations of war
in three days and exclaiming in 1918, "God knows what I have not
lone to prevent such a war."
"Germanism is all the hypocrisy, all the wickedness, all the fright
fulness that we meet In the world.
"Germanism is all the horrors, all the atrocities, all the crimes
that we have witnessed in this war."
are to receive the higher rates, but i
those demoted temporarily are not to 1
have their wages reduced. When
called t. work outside of established
hours, employes will be paid for a
minimum allowance of three hours.

[ forced a German retirement on a
[ wide front in this sector and ad

j forces within the past 48 hours.
Poilus Advancing
The town of Guiscard has been
captured and the French have
pressed beyond until they now
are but little more than two
miles from the important road
center of Ham. They are ap
proaching Ham 011 both sides of
the Somme and its speedy fall
seems probable. The Germans
here apparently are heading back
for the St. Quentin-La Fere line.
Between the Ailette and the
Aisne the French also are gain
ing ground. They have crossed
the Aisne at several points north
east of Soissons and have taken
the town of Missy-sur-Aisne on
the north bank, where they al
ready were in possession of
Bucy-le-Long. Further north on
this front they have taken the
towns of Braye and Clamecy.
Americans Taking Part
The Franco-American opera-j
tion on the Vesh; front has been!
extended farther eastward to
wards Rheims, and new cross
ings have been effected on the
two and one-half mile front be
tween Vcntzaux and Jonchery,
seven miles west of Rheims.
In the north the Germans are
continuing to move backward [
along the Flanders front. The!
British are accelerating the re
tirement by sharp attacks, in one
of which they captured the vil
lage of Ploegsteert. They have!
regained their April line on the
southern part of this front, from
Neuvc-Chapelle to Givenchy and I
have even pushed beyond it in
spots to the eastward <?f Giv

No Limit on Amount of This
Grade of Coal Which Any
Consumer May Buy
Friends of William Jennings,
chairman of the Dauphin County
Committee of National Defense, and
very active in all manner of war
work, were indigent to-day over a
story published in the Harrisburg
I Patriots issue of this morning to
I tire effect that Mr. Jennings had been
, charged by the Ferry county fuel ad-
I ministrator with having purchased
forty-tive tons of buckwheat coal
without having obtained the admin
istrator's permission or through any
local dealer. The coal is intended
for Mr. Jennings' country home and
adjacent farmhouse near Duncannon.
"I do not care to discuss the mat
ter," said Mr. Jennings to-day. "save
to say that 1 was reliably informed
that No. buckwheat coal could be
purchased in unlimited quantities
without permit, because it is not
available for general use."
Fuel Administrator Hickok. repre
sentative of the Federal Fuel Admin
istration in Dauphin county, said that
there is no restriction on this grade
of coal and that anybody may buy
any quantity of it without permit or
registration, for the reason that it
can not be generally used for fuel
purposes and where it can be burn
j ed relieves the market for the larger
, sizes of coal.
Mr. Hickok this morning said that
there is no rdstrietlon on the amount
91- price of buckwheat coal to be
sold for private use. The Federal
Fuel Administration has made no
ruling that would make it illegal or
a violation of any regulation for a
householder to have any amount of
buckwheat size coal that he is able
to secure, the local head said.
