The advance in rates, therefore, has apparently provided for the wage increase. furthermore, it is, to bp remembered that this increase nnder government operation, approaching $1,000,000,000, or between 50 and 60 pet cent, followed advances in the years 1916 and 1917 by tbe railroads themselves under pri-- . vate management amounting to. $350,00Q0OQ, .io, wear.
