One of the first general orders of the Direc- tor-General created a Railroad Wage Commission, under instructions to make a broad general investigation that should include the relation of railroad wages to those in other industries, and the relation of different classes of labor to each other, the wage conditions in different parts of the country, the immediate emergency of the war, and the high cost of living. The recommendations of this Commission for immediate relief were based upon an in- ve...stigation of the increase in living costs since December, 1 91 5, and recommended increases for aU employees re- ceiving less than $250 per month, graded from an increase of 43 per cent for all receiving $50 per month and not less than $46 (under $46 a flat increase of $20), down to an increase of $1 for those receiving above $248 and not more than $249 per month. These increases were applied to the rates in effect December 31, 1915, and were to be diminished by the amount of any increase received since that time.
