The average advance T in pay per man per year will be 1 " about $160. i This action practically completed r the war cycle of wage increases 1 granted railroad men since the gov ernment took over management of the roads 15 months ago Only a few minor requests for more pay remain to be acted on. War Increase* Average $400 a Man. Including today's order the aggregate pay increases allowed by the railroad administration to the two million employes is at the rate ofj $822,311,000 a year, more than $400 average per man. Thus the total payroll for America's railroads is raised nearly $3,000000,000 a year from the basis of approximately $2,000,000,000 on JanuJirV 1 . 1 wll^Tl fVlQ fAQ/le rvopoft/1 I J _, _v ? w; IT >W4> ViiV |/aoocu into the government's hands. The $65,000,000 added to the payrolls of member of the "Big Four brotherhoods brings the total granted this class of employes in the last three years to approximately $275,000.000 or approximately $690 per 'm^n. This takes into consideration . the $140,000,000 estimated as tl^e | brotherhood's share of the general , wage increase last year, and $70,1 000,000 estimated as the fruit for these men from the Adamsonv Act which established a basic eight-hour ' day but did not put into effect the brotherhood's pleas for time and a 1 half overtime. .? Back Pay Being Computed. Back pay for work since January ' 1, will be given the brotherhood men . as soon as railway paymasters can 1 work out-the amount due. This may 1 take a month or even more to complete.' ' f In announcing the increase, Director General Hines explained that the 1 same principles were followed as ' were applied by the railroad administration during the war. These * principles Included the adjustment * of wages to living costs and to vari- ( ous classes of employment. In the first general wage advance i made by the railroad administration following the recommendations of ^ the railroad wage commission, approximately $400,000,000 a year was distributed among railroad employes. About $140,000,000 of this went to, . trainmen and enginemen and about . $260,000,000 to other employes. On ^ supplemental orders about $150,000- ^ 000 was added to payrolls of the shop men, about the same to main- ^ tenance of .waymen and clerks and about $45, agents. Railway accountants calculated that in 1916 and 1917, the years immediately preced- , ing government control, the railway companies increased wages $350,000,000. With the $822,000,000 / added by the railroad administration the aggregate advance of railroad \ men's wages in three year is set at approximately $1,172,000,000, or about $580 per man The railroad b payroll in 1917 was calculated at i $1,750,000,000, in 1918 was $2,- n fiss nnn nnn anri +v>?e *roo?. ?>+ - .. , ?j c?v wt~ v 822,000,000. a Comparatively small increases in d pay are expected soon for dining car 1 and sleeping car employes. s Could Not Eat Nor Sleep Well Appetite Poor, Nerves Shaky, and Stomach Full of Gat, South Carolinian Now Claims Dreco Changed it All. To those who suffer from constipation, weak kidneys, sluggish liver, poor digestion, gas in the stomach,] pains in the limbs, backache, no ap- ! petite and broken sleep, should know that relief is at hand. The root and herb remedy, Dreco, has wide reputation for getting rid of all these troubles, as is proven by the many letters received from well known and reliable persons. For instance, Mr. 6. E. Ch^ek of 11 Benett St., Green vine, s. u., says: "I could not eat or sleep with any! satisfaction; my kidneys were weak, and I had a backache most all of the time. My stomach was gassy and i >ften pained me. My appetite went >ff to almost nothnig, and my sleep vas broken. My joints were full of rheumatism, and my muscles sore to ;he toudh. I had taken several medi:ines but none seemed to do me any *ood. Reading one day of Dreco, I decided to try it. Two bottles of Dreco have wiped out all my trou bles, and I am feeling like a new person. I advise all persons who suffer as I did to try Dreco." Dreco, the root and herb medicine, purifies the blood, strengthens the kidneys, rouses the liver to action, relieves constipation, lifts the load from the stomach, and builds up the entire system. Dreco is now sold by all good druggists throughout the counti^r and is highly recommended in Abbeville by P. B.
