tails. MIR. Grier had already announced
thai the eight-hour day would be
granted. but the union wished to stipu-
late that the men be permitted to come
and go on company time, instead of
their own. 1t was finally agreed that
the time be split. the men either to
come or go on company time.
MIR. Grier also that the
company would extend the arrange
ment to the mill men and others work
ing above ground. giving them also
eight hours. This viii necessitate the
