question that was on many a mans
lips yesterday afternoon. Eyes, it
can be DONE was the answer. But
will it be done?" That is the question
that is causing some men to work
nights. Members of the soliciting
committee who are willingly neglect
ing their business in order to push
this project are expressing the opin-
ion that the people OF North Yakima
have too much public spirit to per-
NIT a fall-down on this undertaking.
and so they express their confidence
in the ultimate success of the con-
vass. But at the same time all the
men who are devoting their time to
the soliciting of money for this cause
are deeply impressed with the gravity
of the situation and would appeal to
all citizens to come up with their
pledges. All the solicitors are earn
estly requested to meet at noon today

come to their ranks any citizens who
are willing to take hold and push.

C-Overtime on through passenger
service to be based on speed OF %
miles per hour. to be computed from
the time the men are required to re-
port for duty and TO continue until
they are relieved at the end OF the
run, and to be paid for at the fol-
lowing rates: Conductors, 42.5
cents per hour; baggagemen, 25.5

be counted. and 80 minutes or over
to be paid for as an hour.
The demands made by trainmen
employed in freight service follow:
In all freight service, 100 miles or
less. ten hours or less to constitute
a days work; overtime to be con-
sidered after ten hours. On runs OF
over 100 miles overtime to be paid
for on a basis of speed OF ten miles

are to be paid 4.05 cents per mile:
fiagmen. rs cents per mile, and
brakemen, 81 cents per mile. With
trains of over thirty cars. exclusive
of caboose, the practice OF double

IL is set forth that the Chicago
standard OF rates of pay are to gov
ern all, terminal, divisional or other
important yards. All other yards are
to be paid one cent per hour less
than the Chicago rate OF pay. Ten
hours or less shall constitute days
work.
If these demands should be sus-
tanned by the railroad workmen and
be refused by the officials OF the
railways involved, it is likely that
one of the most determined strikes
in railroad history will result.
