Mobile Light and Railroad pays half year bonus to staff

The bonus applies to those employed January or July first or who left service honorably during the period with superintendent approval for eligibility. President Wilson lauded the plan noting pay above many southern employers and that the scheme rewards honest capable workers rather than those who would game higher wages.
