The advance is uniformly 2 cents an hour to yard conductors and brakemen and 1 cent an hour to yard firemen. Yard engineers are not affected by the Increase. because they arc now being paid more in proportion than other yardmen. The advance is practically the scale which the men tried to force several weeks ago by striking and failed.
