Increased Wages for Employees

There has been a notable increase of wages during the last month among the employees of great public corporations, in many instances without any solicitation on the part of the employees. The action has been due, as stated in several cases, and which is patent to every one, to the increased cost of living, demanding higher wages. Companies which have taken this action are the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the great steel corporation, cotton mills in the East, copper companies in Montana, Arizona, and Michigan, American and National Express Companies, and quite a large number of others. The estimate is that this will increase the pay of employees in general by one hundred million dollars.
