are highly important to us In the first

secutive hours for rest. We have also Sc
cured a reduction of two hours in the time
Of split trick men, and the allowance OF
an hour for meals in each tweve-hour
trick. This is something that has never
been allowed by the road. The company
was disinclined to grant our request for
recognition of the Order of Railway Teleg

as a body of employees. That is practically
what we want The question of wages, We
are satisfied. will be properly adjusted.
