with several other former employees Of

BEN is that the company IS not paying
as mucn as the other companies. For
instance, while the others pay $50 a month
for double wagons, the Pacific pays only
s45. The same difference OF pay is true
in the heavy single wagons.
Moreover we want shorter hours. One
Of our men is on duty day and night.
1T has been said that only ten of the
employees walked out. There are only
eleven in this Office and practically
