After holding out for 22 days the striker
on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass rail
road declared the strike off, owing to the
failure of the head organization to legalize
their action. Thénew men will be retained
and old employes given work in order of
application and seniority of service. 1

The Lehigh Valley Cpal company (Wilkes

their Heidelburg colliery, near Pittston,

This will throw many men out of employ-
ment.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company has
raised the wages ofits employés on the di-
vision between Philadelphia and New York
on an average of from & to 10 per cent. The
railroad people here say that the increase
was made in view of the fact that the best
service is required of the New York-Philadel-
phia division, and will not affect the wages
prevailing on other divisions, The ‘men
contend, however, that it will bethe wedge
for a general increase.
