Organizer Fred Fay argued at Ford Hall that the Bay State Street Railway Company raised officers salaries for 12 years while denying wage increases to blue uniform men. He cited the Big Five as recipients of steady raises despite the company stating finances did not permit higher wages for workers.
Mr Fay points to salary jumps from 42 700 in 1904 to 72 500 in 1918 for five top officials led by President Sullivan and General Manager Goff. He notes large raises for Palmer and Holst and cumulative increases in 1906 1908 1910 1912 and 1914 as the board weighs wage policy and its impact on recruitment and community interests. He also notes Sullivan’s earlier claim that the graduating scale is unscientific.
