More Pay For Southern's Employees
While several of the leading rai
roads of the North are annouucin;
' extensive increases in tin* salarh
of their employees, it. is stated tin
| the Southern Railway ornplyec
I will not be overlooked by the roa
tor which tln*y are working. Pres
dent Samuel Spencer of theSontl
ern is quoted as saying that th
wages of several classes of employ
ees have already been advance
and further that the wages of othei
! would be advanced as soon as th
' necessary clerical work preliminar
! to the issuing of a formal ordt
{could be made. It is the policy i.
the road, said President Spencer, t
pay its employees just as hig
i wages as are paid by other road
! for similar work. No time has bee
! set for the prupusod advance i
I wages.
