in pay day. They are perfectly sat

number Of work hours per day. They
want their money, however, twice
every month. and the change from
this custom to a pay day Of once each
month resulted in the strike. The
men have been paid every two weeks
heretofore and today when they went
to work they found a notice posted to
the effect that pay day in the future
would come but once a month. This
they objected to and a strike follew-
ed. 1t is believed that the matter will
be satisfactorily adjusted and that pay
day of every two weeks will continue.
