READING employees
MUST WORK NINE HOURS
Company Insists On Letter of Strike
Commissions Award.

MAHANOY CITY. April 18-This
morning when the employees Of the Read
ing, Shenandoah City colliery came to
work, they were surprised to find notices
tackled up setting forth that the com
paPy desired all Of its employees to work
nine hours on Saturday. the same as on
every other day. The notice was signed
by superintendent Luther and Assistant
superintendent Veith. After reading the
company's edict, the breaker boys and
the drivers refused to work and the col
liery was compelled to close down.
From an official of the Reading, it was
learned that the company will insist that
the employees abide rigidIy by the find
ing of the strike commission. It is held
that the award reads that nine hours
shall constitute working day and
that no special provision is made for
Saturday. The company. it is said, will
not agree to the matter of being sub
mitted to committee. it being held that
the provision in the commissions find
ings relating to the length of a work
ing day is plain and not at all misIead-
ing. and that it is subject to but one
interpretation-tha men must work nine
hours each and every work day.

while admitting both marriages. alleged
that having consulted with an attorney,
he was advised that having been alb

rage had become void. and he was en-
titled 10 marry again.
On this evidence the jury took the
