The many drivers of the Diamond Ice

the indications late last night were that
none of the numerous white wagons oil

demand for what they consider extra
work.
Their regular hours are from 5 o'clock

is ST. week. Recently they have been
conpeiledto work in the afternoon and
sometimes at night at loading cars and
