INCREASED WAGES.
RAILWAY COMPANY'S ACTION. BITUMINOUS MINE-OWNERS. CONSIDERING THE UNION., By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received April 4, 9.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, 3rd April. The Central Railway has increased by seven per cent, the salaries of all employees receiving less than 200 dollars a month who are employed eastward of Buffalo. Companies employing 45,000 unorganised bituminous miners in Maryland and We.st Virginia have voluntarily increased wages by five per cent. [Last week the Steel Trust decided to raise the wages of 225,000 employees by six per cent. It is estimated that before the general movement for increased wages ends, the American workers will have a rise in wages over the 1909 aggregate of one hundred million pounds annually.]
